As many upsets and surprises as there have been in the tourney, I love all the #1 seeds to move on to the Elite 8. I just love all the matchups they have and don't think for a second that the other teams can handle them. The only question mark to me would be Villanova but I think the 4 guards are just as much of a problem for BC to handle as Dudley and Smith will be for Nova to handle. I've loved Nova's hard nosed play all year and expect them to get through at least one more round.
I think the time has come for Gonzaga. Morrison will play well but UCLA has too much defense IMO and will win fairly comfortably. The other team I love right now is West Virginia and I've loved them all year even when they were struggling. They have the talent and the experience, and I expect them to play huge this week. I'll go as far to say they could win it all if the chips fall right. |
