12UConn vs. 16Louisville
The Huskies invade Louisville coming off a huge home victory over 9th ranked Georgetown. Kemba Walker had a monster game, tallying 31 in the victory. UConn will be put to the test once again in a tough Big East environment against a Louisville team that beat the Huskies in a double OT thriller on January 29th. Look for Walker to continue to his strong offensive play, and for UConn to come away with a win in a very close game. UConn 82, Louisville 79
Colorado vs. 1Kansas
Losing after being the #1 team in the nation does not inspire confidence, and the fact is that no top ten team is above and beyond the rest of the competition. Kansas State definitely exposed some flaws in the Jayhawks game in the meeting of the two in state rivals. Kansas struggled to defend the three pointer, especially from star Jacob Pullen, who continued to get off quality shots through the fourth quarter. The Jayhawks also struggled at the line. Coming off a bad loss, Kansas bounces back handily at home.
Kansas 87, Colorado 69
2Texas vs. Nebraska
Texas looks very good, and should play like the future #1 team, beating Nebraska easily on the road.
Texas 82, Nebraska 62
4Pitt vs. St. John's
This could be the best matchup of the weekend. St. John's is one of the best stories of the year, with great wins against Duke and UConn, and a serious sleeper pick for the tourney. They play well at home, but Pitt will control the boards, and end their two game skid. Pitt 77, St John's 70
Ouch, after going 2 for 2 during the week, the Bleacher report goes 1 for 3. I wouldn't buy a lottery ticket tonight, young man.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, I dont think anyone picked the huskers.
ReplyDeleteYeah very big upset there. St. John's is just clicking right now, they aren't afraid of anyone.
