Northeastern (+12.5) vs. Norte Dame
When this game tips off we could seriously have more white dudes out there than a BYU/Harvard matchup in Provo! But, like all white dudes, these boys can shoot the lights out and think "defense" is just Spanish for "the fence". Look for NE to get hot from beyond the arc and put a little scare in ND, before the Irish pull away to win by 9-11.
GA state (+9) vs. Baylor
Texas Southern (+23) vs. Zona
Two teams that are much better than their seed would lead you to believe. Getting 23 points for Texas Southern in this game, is like Kate Upton walking up to you at bar asking if you live nearby and like old-fashioneds...in other words its a really good thing that will probably never happen in your lifetime. Not quite ready to go all the way on either of these and predict a straight up upset, but these games are going to be a lot closer than the general public expects them to.
Butler (+1.5) vs. Texas
VCU (+4) vs. Ohio State
Two small schools going up against established programs with big names that are favored purely on reputation and history, rather than the current state of affairs. Both Butler and VCU are tournament veterans that have gone on deep runs in recent years. These two teams know how to win, and don't care about the name on the front of the jersey. Don't be surprised if both of these teams win in these situations, and especially don't be shocked when Texas gets blown out because they are garbage.
