#3 BYU v. #2 Florida, tonight, 7:27, TBS
#5 Arizona v. #1 Duke, tonight, 9:45, CBS
#8 Butler v. #4 Wisconsin, tonight, 9:57, TBS

#4 Kentucky v. #1 Ohio State, tomorrow, 9:45, CBS
#11 VCU v. #10 Florida State, tomorrow, 9:57, TBS


My [incredibly shitty] picks:

• Uconn over SDSU -- Kemba Walker: unstoppable.
• Florida over BYU -- I'll keep picking against the Cougars, and Jimmer will keep proving me wrong.  I just think Florida's frontcourt is too tough.
• Duke over Arizona -- Nice run for Derrick Williams and 'Zona.  But it's bombs away for the Dookies tonight.
• Butler over Wisconsin -- They just find a way, don't they?
• Marquette over UNC -- Marquette is a bunch of junkyard dogs.  For whatever reason, Carolina has looked a little shaky since they peaked by beating Duke for the ACC regular season championship.
• Kansas over Richmond -- I love this Richmond team, they're playing great D and have a full head of steam... but Kansas is just too talented.
• Ohio State over Kentucky -- For my money, the Buckeyes are the best team in the tournament.  Their achilles heel is a lack of depth, but I don't think Kentucky has enough crafty vets or aggressive bigs to get Ohio State into foul trouble.
• Florida State over VCU -- Too much size and too much defense for VCU to handle in this one.

Good luck to everyone and their players.
