I'm sure a lot of you out there are just like me. Your bracket isn't turning out the way you planned so now all you care about is watching good games while hoping and praying that some how some way your bracket will remerge. The second part isn't very likely (then again it is called march madness) but the first part I definitely agree with.
All #1 seeds remain in the tourney for now. Some will have their hands full, others will probably coast on through to the elite 8.
A lot of folks had Syracuse losing to Vandy in this round. Now that can't be the case after Wisconsin beat them last round. Syracuse will be facing a tough Badgers team but look for them to win with ease. Wisconsin just doesn't have the fire power to keep up with the Orange. They are too long and athletic despite not having Fab Melo down low.
As for the Tar Heels, they got pretty lucky with their matchup. Ohio is a good story and they have a had a good run but North Carolina is arguably the most talented team in the nation. Yes, Kendall Marshall not being a 100% doesn't help their chances at winning a title, but for now they can breathe and get some good practice in against Ohio.
Tom Izzo finally has Michigan State back to playing his type of basketball. Physically and mentally tough! In the past, the Spartans have had the strength and talent but they didn't have the mental part of the game, and that is the difference this year. Draymond Green is ready to take Izzo and his team back to the final four. Louisville is a good team don't get me wrong but at times they struggle to put up points and Michigan State shouldn't have that problem against them. This is no cup cake game for Michigan State but I do see them pulling out the victory.
Finally, the "Rematch" Kentucky vs Indiana. Indiana is primed to make a run but standing in their way is the best team in the nation. The good thing for Indiana is that it doesn't matter who the better team is, as long you are the better team on THAT DAY, in that game. Kentucky can go up on you in a heartbeat. At one moment your are down 2, 30 seconds later they have just gone on a 8-0 run. This is the one #1 team who I see having some trouble, but they are also the team that could absolutely go off against a solid Hoosiers team who beat them earlier in the season.
As for the remaining games...
Ohio St over Cincinnati-too much talent, and Aaron Craft is the difference.
Kansas over NC State-Thomas Robinson's will to win and the rest of the supporting cast aren't ready to leave.
Florida over Marquette- sharp shooters every where, and Florida can match Marquette's quick pace.
Baylor over Xavier-Tu Holloway and his "Gangster" teammates have seen the end of their run. Quincy Acy is too good.
It's March Madness though, and anything can happen!
