#1 Kentucky vs #9 Wake Forest
Whereas I think Wake is talented with Ishmael Smith, Al-Farouq Aminu and L.D. Williams, they can’t match up with the skill of the Wildcats. I think Big Blue takes this one going away again.
#12 Cornell vs #4 Wisconsin
Yeah, I bricked this one. I guess that’s what I get for believing in a man named Fran. I think this makes for an interesting matchup. Both are fundamentally sound, but if Wisconsin can make it a wrestling match, I don’t think the Cornell Nard-Dogs can hang. On Wisconsin!
#11 Washington vs #3 New Mexico
Boy, did the Big East take me down to the whipping post this year. I’ve lost 3 teams from my Elite 8, and they are all bed-s**tting over-rated Big East teams. I still say there’s no way Washington can win this game, even with Quincy Pondexter. God’s honest truth? I completely forgot he played for UW two days ago. I still like the Lobos. They’ve been quietly consistent all year. And Steve Alford can definitely take Pondexter in a punching contest.
#10 Missouri vs #2 West Virginia
Huggy Bear has won his annual tourney game. While his team is head and shoulders more talented than Mizzou, he will find a way to choke this one away. And apparently this Big East was really not the best conference this year, but the conference with the most p*****s in it. The Tigers will show Huggy Bear the Country Roads to take him home. Fight, Tiger!!
