Well guys lucky for me the NIT is winding down as I haven't done very well in it, I was happy to hit the upgraded Iowa play easily though. Anyways on to the Sweet 16 as I look to build upon my solid NCAA tourney record.
The Picks... Syracuse +6 (Hook) The Hoosiers were my pick to win it all coming into the Big Ten Tourney but I can no longer ignore the fact that this team is not playing as well as they were earlier in the season. I think Syracuse will stretch out the Indiana zone and make it very difficult to guard them, that being said I feel this game will be extremely tight so I will take the Orange to stay within six.
Marquette +6 (Hook) This was a tough one to cap, I just don't see a definitive advantage for either team and I like the scrappiness of Buzz Williams team. I think this game will be low scoring and tight as I look for the Golden Eagles to stay within the six and possibly spring the upset.
Ohio St. -3 (Hook) I think the teacher takes it to the student in this one, I look for Thad Matta's team lead by Craft and Thomas to take it to a Wildcats team who is yet to even be tested in this tournament.

Continued... LaSalle +4 I think the Explorers magical run continues, I think their guard oriented team once again draws a favorable matchup against a similarly small Shocker team. I'll take the points in this one even though I think LaSalle wins straight up.
Louisville -10 Just not sure how I can bet against this team right now, they've won 11 of their last 12 games by double digits and more than likely that average win by about 20 points. This team has certainly caught stride at the right time and in this de facto home game I look for the Cardinals to once again win by double digits.
Kansas -2 (Upgraded Play) I think this is just a downright bad matchup for Michigan. I look for Kansas to own Michigan down low, don't look for McGeary to own the paint like he did against that equally small VCU team. Kansas will focus on containing Michigan's guard play and if they can they will easily win this game by double digits, give me the Jayhawks.

Continued... Michigan St. +2 This is probably a homer pick but I truly believe that my Spartans matchup well with the Dukies in this one. I think MSU will own the paint with Nix and Payne playing their best basketball of the season, and that the guard play for both teams is about equal. Taking all the factors into account I'll take my Spartans to head onto another Elite 8.
Florida -13 I think FGCU's run finally comes to an end here in the sweet 16. I think the Gators who trounced teams that were very similar to the Eagles will once again impose their will as it appears they have more than bounced back from their mid-season slump. Give me the Gators to win by 20+ and put this Cinderella to bed.
That's all from me guys enjoy the Sweet 16, talk to you again when we get our Elite 8 matchups.
BOL as always

Hey guys don't usually do this but I am downgrading my Ohio St play to just a regular, just not as confident so I bought off some of the action on this one.

Hey guys, Not a bad day yesterday going 2-1-1 and upping the NCAA tourney record to 25-15-3. Just one update to my picks and that is I am upgrading my Michigan State play at a line of 2.5. Hope everyone is having a great Friday and enjoy the games.
