Thursday Sweet Sixteen

Will Pittsburgh play true to form..?? Can UConn live up to it's billing..?? These are very difficult questions to answer with these two teams. Both have shown inconsistencies this season and to handicap these games is very difficult because your just not sure which team will show up on any given night.

Will the Xavier team show up that beat a very good Wisconsin team by 11 points, or the team that was upset by Richmond and Temple in a one week span...

Connecticut has won their last 5 of 6 but failed to cover the spread in their last three. They were upset by W. Virginia in the opening round of the conference tournament losing that game by 14 points as a 4.5 favorite.

The best game of the night should be the Villanova / Duke game. This figures to be very competitive and with the line at 2.5 I figure this could go either way....Memphis should be able to handle the spread against Missouri but this could be a very high scoring game. Both teams like to run the floor.

I believe Duke, Pitt, Memphis and Uconn get the wins, but covering the spreads are a different story...
