I forgot today was Thursday. I was going to write up my picks for today’s Sweet Sixteen games and forgot last night. So, I’ll make it quick.
Southern Illinois - Kansas
I’m going to pick Southern Illinois. Both teams seem like they are cruising through the tournament so far and I think Southern just might be able to pull off the upset in a close game.
UCLA - Pittsburgh
I really hate UCLA for some reason so I’m sure they will go out of their way to get a little further along in the tournament just to spite me. In fact, they’ll do it pretty easily and win by double digits.
Tennessee - Ohio State
OSU looks lazy but very talented whenever I see them. It’s probably just all the young kids playing. I like Bruce Pearl and expect his team to get the upset victory.
Texas A&M - Memphis
For some reason I never expect Memphis to win a big game. Plus Turtle Hanson has “insider knowledge” that the Texas A&M coach is being considered for Iowa once Alford leaves. He will up his salary requirements by getting A&M to beat Memphis.
I am pretty confident that I will end up somewhere between 0 and 4 correct picks. Tie up the laces and get the games started so we can find out how well I do. I’ll try to get my predictions for tomorrow’s games posted tonight or tomorrow morning. Also, I have to go get my son off the bus, so no proofreading today. Enjoy.
