Sweet 16 Schedule Announced
... give the Zags their 35 th win of the year, matching the school record set two years ago. The Kansas Jayhawks are in Kansas City to battle the Purdue Boilermakers, after the Jayhawks scored 190 points in their first two NCAA tournament games. Friday is highlighted by a meeting between traditional powers, with the Kentucky Wildcats battling the UCLA Bruins in Memphis. These two teams met on Dec. 6 in Lexington, when the Bruins and their high-flying offense snapped Kentucky’s 42-game winning streak at Rupp Arena with a 97-92 triumph.

... | Full boxscore. FINAL: Washington 91, Montana State 63 | Full boxscore. FINAL: Texas A&M 63, Penn 61 Full boxscore. Sunday, March 19 (Second Round). FINAL: Quinnipiac 85, Mami (Fla.) 78| Full box score. FINAL: UCLA 75, Texas A&M 43 | Full box score. 2017 Women’s NCAA Basketball Tournament picks, predictions. Expect undefeated Connecticut, which has won four consecutive national titles, to easily beat UCLA in Bridgeport. Maryland, surprisingly only a No. 3 seed, is a huge favorite against Oregon. In the Oklahoma City Region, Baylor gets No. 4 Louisville in one of the most anticipated games of the Sweet 16. But Baylor should advance to face the winner of No. 2 Mississippi State and No. 3 Washington. Huskies star Kelsey Plum became the all-time single-season scoring leader in Washington’s win against Oklahoma. Over in the Lexington Region, No. 1 Notre Dame may suddenly be vulnerable now that top scorer Brianna Turner is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. If the Irish do still advance against No. 4 Ohio State, Notre Dame would meet either No. 2 Stanford or No. 3 Texas. Out in Stockton, No. 1 South Carolina gets Cinderella Quinnipiac, which is in the Sweet 16 ...
Sweet 16, Elite 8 Schedule, Odds And Picks
... guess is that UK avenges an early-season loss to UCLA and beats the Bruins in the last minute. Florida vs. Wisconsin should follow a similar path as Gonzaga vs. West Virginia. In this game, the first team to 60 might win. Both teams are stout defensively, but the edge goes to Wisconsin behind the hot shooting of senior guard Bronson Koenig. The matchups are not set in stone yet, but we do know that the winners of the Midwest Regional semifinals will play in one game, while the winners of the West Regional semifinals will face off in the other contest. A KU-Michigan showdown would be fantastic to watch, featuring one of the best freshmen in the nation (guard Josh Jackson) and a Naismith Award finalist (senior point guard Frank Mason III) facing off against the smoking-hot Wolverines. On the other side of the bracket, a hypothetical Elite Eight matchup Gonzaga vs. Arizona would be a rematch of the Zags' 69-62 win over Arizona in the regular season, but Wildcats leading scorer and sophomore guard Allonzo Trier did not play. With him in the mix now, how would Arizona perform. Like Saturday, we don't know the official schedule just now, but the East ...
Tip-off Times And Live Streams For The 2017 Ncaa Basketball Tournament
... we’re just more aware that, one of these years, the number is going to come up for a No. 16 seed and, when it does, we’d like to say we called it. (Without admitting, of course, how many times we didn't call it.). 2016 Matchups. Wichita State vs Cal Poly. Louisville vs NC A&T. Michigan State vs Long Island. Ohio State vs Texas-San Antonio. Duke vs Hampton. The No. 15 seed has won eight of its 128 games vs. the No. 2 seed. That probably leads to a sprinkling of No. 16 picks, too. Another possible reason No. 16 s seem increasingly attractive: The number of people who pick brackets online is increasing. Though you'd think percentages would stay constant, if a growing audience means more casual fans, perhaps that means more who are willing to take a risk - or less aware of how risky it is for your bracket. Bracket experts will tell you that picking a No. 16 seed is a horrible risk-reward proposition. Since a 16 seed is unlikely to advance to the Sweet 16 as well, that huge upset pick is liable to earn only a ...

... other game. Xavier made its sixth Sweet 16 in the past 10 years and are coming off of a victory over a good Florida State team.

North Carolina Meets Butler In Sweet 16 Of Ncaa Tournament
... to win the North Carolina-Butler game. The point spread as of Monday was North Carolina -7.5. No. 1 North Carolina. Coach: Roy Williams, 14 th year. Overall record: 29-7. Scoring leader: Justin Jackson, junior (18.1). Rebounding leader: Kennedy Meeks, senior (9.1). Assists leader: Theo Pinson, junior; Joel Berry II, junior (3.7). Famous non-athlete alum: Stuart Scott, ESPN anchor. Why North Carolina can win. Surviving a late charge by Arkansas proved this Tar Heels team has the mental makeup to fight back when punched in the face. The talent is there with Justin Jackson, the ACC Player of the Year, Joel Berry II and Kennedy Meeks leading the way. Defensively, North Carolina has struggled the last two seasons. Yet with long wings, space-eaters in the paint and a number of quick, athletic guards blocking the perimeter, the Tar Heels have upside to improve on that side of the ball. No. 4 Butler. Coach: Chris Holtmann, third year. Overall record: 25-8. Scoring leader: Kelan ...
Florida Meets Wisconsin In Sweet 16 Of Ncaa Tournament
... New York in the East Region. What channel is the Florida-Wisconsin game on. The Florida-Wisconsin will be on TBS. Who is favored to win the Florida-Wisconsin game. The point spread as of Monday was Florida -1.5. No. 4 Florida. Coach: Mike White, second year. Overall record: 26-8. Scoring leader: Ke Vaughn Allen, sophomore (13.4). Rebounding leader: Devin Robinson, junior (6.3). Assists leader: Kasey Hill, senior (4.5). Famous non-athlete alum: Erin Andrews, Fox Sports sportscaster. Why Florida can win. Despite losing post man John Egbunu, Forida boasts a physical lineup that can hit 3-pointers and punish teams in the paint. Junior forward Devin Robinson has emerged as a double-double threat and Justin Leon has added a great outside shot to his arsenal. The Gators have multiple players who can step up and take over games. It's hard to game plan against them, which is why they punished Virginia's stingy defense. No. 8 Wisconsin. Coach: Greg Gard, second year. Overall record: 27-9. Scoring leader: Bronson Koenig, senior (14.5). Rebounding leader: Ethan Happ, sophomore (9.1). Assists leader: Ethan Happ, sophomore (2.8).

Will Wvu Swing The Upset Against Gonzaga
... also haven’t faced a team like Gonzaga, though. Everyone on the floor on Thursday will be, to some degree, in uncharted waters. WVU’s playing arguably the best all-around team in the field, and Gonzaga’s playing against the defense that could turn out to be March Madness’ most volatile wild card. If Gonzaga doesn’t get the ball taken away from it, the Zags should be able to score. West Virginia doesn’t play excellent field goal defense once teams actually get shots, and the Zags have scorers all over the court. Nigel Williams-Goss runs the show, and they’ve got threats on the inside in Przemek Karnowski and the emergent Zach Collins. If the Zags create enough decent looks, they’ll probably score enough of them to win. Their trouble spots will be if they’re overwhelmed by Bob Huggins’ press defense. Mark Few’s team should benefit from a home-court advantage. The game will be played in San Jose, which is a long drive from the Zags’ campus in Spokane, Wash. ...
