ALEX — GAME 1: # 19 Louisville (22–7) @ # 2 Syracuse (29–1): I really want to pick Louisville. ’Cuse is probably the most talented team in the country and at this point my favorite to win it all but this just reeks of an upset. Louisville has been playing below their potential and Syracuse could look past them. I would pick Louisville if they were at home. ‘Cuse wins.
ANDY: It hurts to have to agree with you right out of the gate, but I agree. And I hurt. It won’t even be close. ORANGE — 80, CARDINALS — 56.
ALEX — GAME 2: # 6 North Carolina (25–4) @ # 4 DUKE (25–4): Greatest Rivalry in College Basketball. Duke’s buzzer beater win in their last match-up was just amazing and theCameron Crazies will be in rare form. I wonder where Eric Montross will be watching the game? Do you think Coach K recruited Cherokee Parks because he just looked likeChristian Laettner? Some many questions! Duke wins.
ANDY: Who gives a flip about where Eric Montross will be watching the game? Dooky has proved vulnerable at cozy Cameron, including a loss to so-so Miami, and a lucky to walk away with a W Saturday against a so-so-bad Virginia Tech in OT. UNC gets their revenge! TAR HEELS — 66, BLUE DEVILS — 64.
ALEX — GAME 3: # 11 Georgetown (21–6)@ # 8 Marquette (24–5): Marquette has no shot in this game. NONE. But Marquette’s head coach Buzz Williams showed HUGE cojones by dancing the country two-step toJohn Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Road” (http://ridethepine.com/sports/college-sports/buzz-williams-west-virginia-dance/ ) after upsetting West Virginia on their court. And for that, they get my pick.
ANDY: No shot? Really? They hung with the ‘Cuse, and nearly took out G-Town when they first met back in early January. Oh wait, you’re picking Marquette to win because of a dumb dance by the coach. Well I’m going with the season sweep for the Hoyas because their Coachs’ father used to bite his towel! HOYAS — 75, GOLDEN EAGLES — 70.
ALEX — GAME 4: Washington (20–8) @ UCLA (16–13): When most people think of UCLA, they remember names like Wooden, Walton,
Alcindor, etc. When I think of UCLA, I think of the O’Bannon brothers. I don’t remember which brother was better, but I always thought they would make a great WWF tag team because they could pull the old switch-a-roo. Anyway, is Washington even good? I can’t remember seeing one highlight or reading one article about them but I do spend about 99% of my time online looking at naughty websites. UCLA.
ANDY: Wooden & naughty websites in the same paragraph is simply sacrilegious, and I’m pulling a switch-a-roo on you. Yes, the Huskies are good — they got 2 votes in the ESPN/USA today poll! HUSKIES — 67, BRUINS — 65.
ALEX — GAME 5: Vanderbilt (20–9) @ Tennessee (16–13): I just found out Bruce Pearl is not the head coach of Tennessee. That stinks. When your girls team can beat your boys team, that probably isn’t a good thing. Vandy.
ANDY: Bruce Pearl isn’t the coach? The Vols boys team has won 6 of their last 7 including a huge road win against the # 7 ranked Gators. Smokey and gang avenge early season loss at Good Ol’ Rocky Top. VOLUNTEERS — 78, COMMODORES — 74.
