Friday Night Picks

Went to form last night except for the Memphis Mizzou game - Tyreke Evans was outstanding but the Tigers got in way to big of a whole to come back in this one. Will see how Mizzou handles UConn's size tomorrow. Hell of a last minute by Fields last night for Pitt by the way.

Tonight I like:

UNC over Gonzaga (however I will cheer for the Zags because a win here for them makes it likely I win some $ in a bracket pool and a loss will make it unlikely)

Louisville over Zona - Zona is the only CInderalla left in a tourney lacking Cinderellas - of-course the idea of Zona being a Cinderella is a bit odd as they have won a championship in the modern era and are from a BCS conference

Syracuse over Oklahoma - For some reason I think Blake Griffin gets in foul trouble tonight and they will have major problems winning if that happens.

Michigan State over Kansas - The Spartans have a lot of experienced big guys led by Suton - the Hawks have Cole Aldrich and that is about it. I'll take Sparty.
