Sweet 16 Friday

This should be one of the best days of the tournament so far as there are 4 quality games going tonight.  Look for Arizona/Louisville game to be fun and exciting as Arizona is playing its best basketball of the season right now.  Louisville and their defensive pressure just harass opposing teams guards for 40 minutes.  Lousiville wil ladvance in this one.

Michigan State and Kansas should be fun in a different way.  Both teams play great defense and it should be a close game til the end.  This will be a very physical game and a lot will depend on how the refs call this one.  Free throw shooting should be a key in this one to watch.

The best game of the night in my opinion is Syracuse/Oklahoma.  Blake Griffin is a certain top 5 picks and Johnny Flynn is emerging as one of the best guards in the nation.  Oklahoma playus great team defense and can they shut Syracuse down offensively?  The Cuse 2-3 Zone should give Oklahoma fits and the Sooners will need to extend the zone by hitting some shots early.   Should be fun to watch!

UNC and Gonzaga should be high scoring and fun to watch and we look to see if Gonzaga can play better against upper level teams.  W e know how grea they are against teams in the conference but when they step out of conference and against teams of better caliber they struggle.  The yeven struggled against Western Kentucky.  Does Mark Few and his Stags have any magic in them tonight?  We will see.  Ty Lawson sais he cam back to school for one reason and that was to win a championship.  You know he is in pain but will give everything he has like he did against LSU in the 2nd half last week.  Hansborough needs to be the All-American that he is and UNC bench needs to contribute more for them to be effective.  Should be a track meet tonight and exciting to watch.

Make sure you check out our three best plays on the board for Friday including our Sweet 16 Game of the Year!  Check back Saturday for Elite 8 action!
