Sweet Sixteen....Here We Go!!

There were some pretty good games over the weekend, but there was also some really bad basketball overall.  Too many of these teams are just poor when it comes to shooting the ball. These shooting %'s hanging around the high 20's low 30's is brutal to watch at times. But now we have the cream rising to the top with the Sweet Sixteen, and I think we will see some better overall team performances starting Thursday.  Here are the Matchups:

(1)Louisville v. (12)Oregon
(2)Duke v. (3)Michigan State

(9)Wichita State v. (13)La Salle
(2)Ohio State v. (6)Arizona

(1)Kansas v. (4)Michigan
(3)Florida v. (15)FGCU

(1)Indiana v. (4)Syracuse
(2)Miami v. (3)Marquette

If Ohio State can get past Arizona, the road to the NC game is pretty easy.  The East regional is going to be a bloodbath with those four teams.  Kansas v. Michigan might be one of those special games with a lot of future NBA talent showcasing their skills. I predict Michigan State will rock Duke in that matchup.

Not being a homer, but Marquette has really matured before my eyes this tourney. I think they pull off the win against Miami, they matchup really good with teams like that.  That would setup a possible Marquette/Indiana matchup, and that would be EPIC!!  Would love to see the Warriors make Crean eat it.

    Arizona is going to be a tough matchup for Ohio State.  Indiana needs to come out playing better than they did against Temple if they are going to beat Syracuse.  Duke vs Michigan State should be entertaining. 

    This is probabl

    Louisville will roll on easy. I expect Duke to win, sadly.

    I'll take Wichita State over La Salle. Ohio State will roll easily to the Final Four.

    Kansas over Michigan

  • Miami Who??

    And the final score was no indication of how badly Marquette beat up on The U.  What a dominate performance that was.  Marquette looks very, very tough right now.  Regardless of how familiar Syracuse and Marquette are

    I thought that Miami-Marquette game could go either way, but I did not think Marquette would control that game the way they did.  Kudos to them.

    I was just happy the Buckeyes pulled another game out at the end.

  • I'm bummed to see Indiana gone. I really feel this tourney is now Louisville's to lose.

    My bracket really misses having Indiana around too.

    Every team has weaknesses.  Of the teams that are left I think Louisville and Michigan have been the most impressive to this point.  That pains me to say as a Buckeye fan.
