What a glorious spring morning it is here in southeastern Wisconsin. Nothing better than waking up to a fresh four inches of snow on the ground! Oh well, with 16 more Tournament games on today and tonight, who needs to go anywhere?
Best Matchups
Day: Midwest Region, No. 10 Davidson vs. No. 7 Gonzaga
Remember Gonzaga, that Tournament darling that everyone used to pick to get to at least the Sweet Sixteen? This year, Davidson has become the most popular Cinderella pick, and a lot of people have forgotten that they play a very good Gonzaga team in the first round. This year, Gonzaga went on the road and defeated Virginia Tech, St. Joe's, and UConn. Meanwhile, Davidson has one of the top scoring threats in the Tournament, Stephen Curry, who is averaging 25.1 points per game.
Night: Midwest Region, No. 12 Villanova vs. No. 5 Clemson
Just like USC, a lot of people have picked Clemson as a sleeper team - mostly because of the way Clemson played North Carolina this season. The scary thing about this Clemson team though, is that they are not a good free throw shooting team, and should Villanova keep the game close, that could prove perilous to Clemson. Nova needs a big game from Scottie Reynolds in order to advance.
My Picks (yesterday, 3-2)
No. 7 Gonzaga beats No. 10 Davidson
No. 5 Drake beats No. 12 Western Kentucky
No. 9 Oregon beats No. 8 Mississippi St.
No. 5 Clemson beats No. 12 Villanova

Did you see the Journal Sentinal named Hughes the player of the game? Wow.
SS
He makes a good point about Hughes' play in the second half...but I don't know if there's a lone UW player you can single out from that game, as being totally dominant.
