If you're into becoming affluent over night, put every cent you have on these 4 picks.
Take Butler at +7 against Syracuse. I'm surprised the spread is that high. Butler has been favored in their 2 previous games, but tonight they're back to their comfort zone as the underdog. I think syracuse will win even without Onuaku, but there is absolutely no possible way that this game gets out of hand.
Washington +4 against West Virginia. This is my upset. The only player on West Virginia who could pass as a point guard on my intramural team is Darryl Bryant, and he broke his foot backpedaling or something in practice. Who knows. History tells us that to win tournament games from the Sweet 16 and on, you absolutely must have an above average point guard to control the ball and the tempo. Washington has the 1-2 punch of PG Isiah Thomas and forward Quincy Pondexter. It's sad because WVU was looking good, but now they're fucked. Washington wins by more than 5.
Kansas State -5 over Xavier. I want Xavier to win so badly because I'm not a Frank Martin fan. I think he's weird. The problem is Jordan Crawford (dunked on Bron) is Xavier's only real threat on offense. His greatness lead them through the first two rounds, but that's as far as they'll go. Pullen and Clemente are just too good.
Kentucky -9 over Cornell. The geeks of Cornell have outsmarted bracketologists by blowing teams out for long enough. Intelligence doesn't get you a win against the athletic freakshow that is Kentucky. Louis Dale and a bunch of white dudes just won't be able to hang with John Wall, Eric Bledsoe, Demarcus Cousins, and Patrick Patterson. There's a mismatch at every single position. Cornell has gotten through the first 2 rounds easily because Temple and Wisconsin didn't have point guards who could match up with Louis Dale. Kentucky does. Two of them in fact, and they will shut down Dale enough to get an easy win. I bet UK wins by more than 12.
