Picks for Today

First, let me publicly berate Tim Floyd, whose unacceptable note-tossing received a technical and not only killed any hope for his team, but also cost me the spread. Thanks Jackass. Georgetown gutted out a great win over a tough Vanderbilt team in the best game of the night. Also, I felt like a genius for the first 34 1/2 minutes of the USC choke job, but with a coach like Tim Floyd, you can't expect to win games like that. OC takes the lead by a game going four for four last night. Onto the picks for today:

SOUTH REGION

#2 Memphis over #1 Ohio State
Ohio State should have lost BOTH of its last two games, but somehow managed to gut it out. Memphrica, on the other hand, has beaten two very good teams and have now won something like 25 games in a row. Chris Douglas-Roberts, along with his three first names, is really helping his draft stock by playing unconsciously. Should be an entertaining game, but I like the Tigers 83-78.

WEST REGION

#1 Kansas over #2 UCLA
Although I have UCLA in the championship in my bracket, they have been playing like crap. Kansas is determined to make up for their first round upset losses the past two tournaments and are playing with a chip on their shoulder. Also, it should be noted that both teams shoot very poorly from the line, something that could become a big factor in the outcome. Kansas wins 67-58.
