It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Day Four

The tournament continues. I continue to get plenty of picks wrong, all is right with the world.

(12) Villanova Wildcats v (13) Siena Saints
Picking against Saints on Easter, that ain't right. Both match ups today in Tampa are 12 v 13, don't know if I'd be thrilled or disappointed had I had tickets to the games there. Pick, Villanova

(2) Texas Longhorns v (7) Miami Hurricanes
Texas looks solid, could be one of the better games of the day. How much do you think Kevin Durant would rather be playing with the Longhorns today instead of the Sonics? (he can always just stare at his bank account and remember one of the reasons why he's a struggling rookie instead of a super sophomore) Pick, Texas

(2) Tennessee Volunteers v (7) Butler Bulldogs
Butler will be shooting threes like crazy, if they go in, it's an upset, but if they don't, they aren't getting the rebounds, so lots of fast break opportunities for Tennessee. Tennessee ought to roll, but Butler has a solid chance at an upset, most likely it will be a lopsided game, though. Pick, Tennessee

(13) San Diego Toreros v (12) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
One of these teams will be playing next week against a UCLA team that got a wake up call v Texas A&M. I kind of like the idea of a UCLA v San Diego Sweet 16, so I'm picking San Diego, no other reason, no analysis behind this one. Pick, San Diego

(2) Georgetown Hoyas v (10) Davidson Wildcats
You have a hot offensive player in Curry of Davidson against a very solid defense. Very solid defenses usually win that battle, I think it will in this one, too. Pick, Georgetown

(1) Memphis Tigers v (8) Mississippi State Bulldogs
Memphis has been nearly unstoppable this year, and Miss State don't have what it takes to give them a hard time. Sometimes excellent teams take these kind of contests for granted and forget to show up, but that probably won't happen here. SHould be a rout. Pick, Memphis

(6) Oklahoma Sooners v (3) Louisville Still Not Sluggers
I thought both these teams would lose on Friday, I don't care who wins this. Picking the underdog, just because I can. Pick, Oklahoma

(1) North Carolina Tarheels v (9) Arkansas Razorbacks
The Tarheels get an almost home game in Raleigh. Arkansas will be the last 8 or 9 seed with a chance to pull off an upset, doesn't look like any of the one seeds are going to miss the Sweet 16 this year, that gives hope to all those people who's brackets were screwed up by both 12 and 13 seeds winning in Tampa (my bracket got pretty busted when USC fell in the first round). Pick, North Carolina
