Six-Pack for Wednesday

I'll be looking at all thirty big league teams this spring; we look at the Arizona Diamondbacks today...........

-- Randy Johnson won four Cy Youngs in his six seasons in his first tour of duty with Arizona.

-- Johnson is 60 strikeouts behind #2 Roger Clemens on the all-time strikeout leaders list.

-- Alfonso Soriano, Jimmy Rollins, Eric Byrnes are the only three NL players to hit 25 HRs, steal 25 bases last season.

-- Conor Jackson hit .326 after August 1 last season.

-- Orlando Hudson is the fourth big leaguer to win the Gold Glove in consecutive seasons, in different leagues.

-- Carlos Quentin hit four homers in his first sixteen AB's in the major leagues.

Wednesday's List of 13: Random mid-week thoughts.......

13) The flip side of March Madness is that coaches lose jobs in March; to us, it is just a line crawling along bottom of our TV screens, but these are lives being affected. Lot of stress in the coaching industry.

12) Caleb Green of Oral Roberts has tried 327 foul shots in 30 games; ORU has pair of 2,000-point scorers, Green and Tutt.

11) Central Connecticut has tried 662 3-pointers, about 20 per game, but three players combined for 641 of the 662 tries, so Central obviously dictates only those guys are allowed to try.

10) Texas starts four freshmen and a sophomore; their foe in Round 1, New Mexico State, starts four juniors and a senior, so underdog Aggies have an edge in experience, offsetting a deficit in talent. Aggies were 6-24 two years ago.

9) Jerel McNeal is out for Marquette with an injured thumb, very bad new for the Golden Eagles.

8) Long Beach State has eight seniors and a coach without a contract for next season. Odd situation.

7) Hey, they brought the 5:00 game back for first two days of NCAAs; the games will be shown on CSTV. Used to be that 5:00 game was seen only on west coast and by dish heads.

6) Miami, OH is only team to get an automatic bid that hasn't won 20 games yet this season.

5) The Texas-Kansas game was awesome Sunday; there were no senior starters in the game.

4) Arizona is 2-6 in first round as a 4 seed or lower under Lute Olson, but they won their national title as a 4 seed in '97.

3) They're saying now that Kyle Shiloh may play for Nevada, after a report last week that he had a torn hamstring. Shiloh is the team's best defender; they won't beat Creighton without Shiloh in the lineup.

2) Gonzaga won its last four first round games, but will have to beat Indiana for second straight year to advance to second round this season. Zags are 6-2 since Heytfeldt was lost for the season- they're smaller, quicker team without him.

1) As for my Final Four picks, I think this is a chalk year; last year, no #1 seeds made the Final Four. It'll be different down in Atlanta. I like Florida, Kansas, Texas A&M, Georgetown to advance to the Final Four.

NIT
Wednesday, March 14

Investing in NIT games is the ultimate in gambling; no one has a clue how these teams are going to play-- not me, not you, not the coaches of the teams. It is mostly about desire and players really wanting to extend their seasons. None of these teams are happy to be in the NIT, so invest carefully.............

Clemson was 17-0 at one point this season, then lost few close games, and things fell apart; they're 8-4-1 vs spread as favorite vs non-ACC teams (14-0 SU). East Tennessee is 0-5 on road vs non-league clubss, losing by 5 at Tennessee, by 42 at Vandy, by 17 at Eastern Kentucky.

Will Syracuse pout after missing NCAAs, or will they try hard to keep season alive and get to New York? South Alabama lost last four games in Sun Belt, after winning previous 13; they're 5-7 vs spread as favorite vs non-Big East foes. USA lost by 11 at Auburn, 38 at Miss State, 10 vs Ole Miss

Georgia is 2-4 in last six games, getting whacked by Florida in SEC tourney; they're 4-4 vs spread as favorite this year. Fresno State had won five games in row before blowing 37-23 halftime lead in upset loss to Boise in WAC tourney- they're 5-3 vs the spread as an underdog this year. Long trip east for Fresno kids.

Bradley beat Pitt of Big East in NCAAs last year; Braves beat Rutgers 101-72, beat VCU, Wright State, so they're pretty good. Providence beat Boston College, beat GW by 19, Rhode Island by 29, but once they lost by 30 at Florida State, they weren't the same, going 6-9 in last fifteen games.

Hofstra flamed out in first round of CAA; they've had little bit of time to get healthy, now face DePaul squad that was on a 5-1 roll before losing to Villanova in Big East tourney. Hofstra lost by 15 at Syracuse, beat St John's by 12; they split their last six games, are 4-4 vs spread as an underdog this season.

Vermont is going to have trouble scoring at Kansas State team that played well in Big 12 tourney last week. Catamounts are a more disappointed team than K-State, losing at home in finals of America East. Wildcats are so much more athletic than the Catamounts; if they play well, this could be ugly.

Appalachian State has beaten VCU, Virginia, Vanderbilt; they had good season, now visit Ole Miss squad that is 3-4 in last 7 games. ASU is 6-2 vs spread as non-conference underdog this season. Rebels are 5-3 as non-SEC favorite. Ole Miss is 11-3 in non-SEC games. ASU is more disappointed to be here.

Missouri State is used to not hearing their name called for the NCAAs; they host San Diego State team making long trip east after loss in MWC tourney. Aztecs are 3-3 last six games after loss to Colorado State team that fired its coach after tourney. Bears won eight of their last ten games.

Air Force lost its last four games; they're better off playing foe that is unfamiliar with its style, although Samford runs a similar offense; Austin Peay was 3-0 vs Samford this season. Peay has lost six of nine non-league games; they're 0-4-2 vs spread as an underdog in its non-league games

NCAA First Round
Thursday, March 15

Davidson is 25-1 in last 26 games; they're second in country in defensive rebounding, so Maryland (7-1 last eight games) has to either run its offense real well, or create easy hoops with its defense. Terps were hot until losing to Miami in ACC tourney; they're 4-2-1 vs spread as non-ACC favorite. Both teams are in top 13 in country in pace, so expect to see fast-paced game. Davidson is 3-1-1 vs spread as an underdog this season.

Texas Tech is 285th in rebound margin, 295th in blocked shots, but they make 41.8% of 3's, and are 6-2 in last eight games- they start three seniors. Boston College is 2-5 in last seven games; their defense hasn't been same since Williams left team Jan 17. Tech won in first round last two years, by 3,12 points; Jarrius Jackson is great player. BC won last three first round games, by 7,12,20 points. Knight vs Boston media might be fun.

Louisville won seven of last eight games, but had long scoring droughts in last two games at Big East tourney. Stanford is big team; they got PG Goods back from injury last week, that helps with scoring in halfcourt sets, but they're 1-4 in last five games with only win vs Arizona State. Louisville will need to get easy baskets in transition; Stanford's height is tough in halfcourt. Louisville lost to Arizona of Pac-10 72-65 back in December.

Oral Roberts won at Kansas this year; they beat USC last year in Alaska, and have two 2,000-point scorers in Green and Tutt. Washington State finished second in Pac-10; they're not flashy but they protect ball well. Green gets to foul line 11 times/game, so both sides well-versed in halfcourt game. ORU has been to foul line 205 more times than its opponents. Wazzu is 11-1 out of Pac-10; they're 3-5 as favorite outside of Pac-10 play.

Old Dominion is 12-1 in last 13 games; they beat Georgetown in December, have deep team. Butler allows just 57 ppg, but they are 3-4 in last seven games, were playing lot better in December Butler gets lot of points from foul line, arc; they're #1 in country in not turning ball over. Monarchs are 11-1 in last dozen games, losing to George Mason in CAA semis. Right now, ODU is the team playing better ball.

Belmont lost 78-44 to UCLA in first round last year; here, they face Georgetown team on roll after winning Big East tourney in style, routing Pitt in final. Bruins take 24 treys/game, hitting on 35.9%. Hoyas are 15-1 in last 16 games (11-4-1 vs spread); they are 3-4 vs spread as non-league favorite. Belmont lost 77-51 at Illinois, 67-58 at Michigan State, 71-60 to St Mary's; they beat Fordham, Rice. Georgetown fashionable Final Four choice.

Its been nine years since Ivy team won NCAA game; Penn lost 60-52 to Texas LY (+14), seventh straight opening round loss, sixth in last eight years (1-6 vs spread). Aggies lost in the first round of Big 12 tourney to Oklahoma State, a red flag; last year, they beat Syracuse 66-58 in first round. A&M is 12-2 outside of Big 12 (5-2 vs spread as favorite). Quakers won last ten games, but vs non-scholarship opposition. Big step up here, vs team that is well-rested and very good.

George Washington forced 61 turnovers in three A-14 tourney games; they beat NC-Wilmington in first round last year, losing to Duke in second round. Vandy is 2-3 in last five games, losing twice to Arkansas; they're 3-4 in last seven games away home, winning at Kentucky, LSU- they split with Tennessee, pressing team like GW. Colonials won last eight games; they lost to USC Air Force, Providence, but beat Va Tech and went 11-6 in SEC.

Duke is 4-7 in last eleven games, losing first ACC tourney game to NC State; they won last ten first round games, but were a #1 seed in eight of those. Last time they were this low a seed, they lost to Eastern Michigan in first round (-3.5). VCU won tourney in CAA; teams from Colonial are 6-0-1 vs spread in last seven first round games. Big edge for VCU in this game at point guard as Duke is 247th in country in turnover percentage. Not good.

Central Connecticut shoots 38% from arc, which is good thing, because they won't get anything inside with Oden. Buckeyes won Big 11 tournament, haven't lost since Jan 9- they covered their last four games. #16 seeds are 12-8 vs spread last five yrs even though a #16 has never beaten a #1. Central Connecticut is well-coached, but they're outmatched here. NEC teams have covered last two years, after being 0-4 vs spread previous four.

McNeal is out for Marquette, which hurts against Michigan St team that is 2-3 in last five first round games, but played really tough schedule in Big 11 this year (three games vs Wisconsin, two vs Ohio State). Marquette is 3-5 in last eight games; they lost to Big 11's Wisconsin 70-66. Spartans are 13-2 out of Big 11 losing to Maryland, BC; they're 2-3 in last five games and have lost eight of last ten games away from East Lansing.

Howland coaches against his alma mater as Bruins start run to second straight Final Four. UCLA slipped to #2 seed, losing its last two games, to Washington, Cal; they're 11-1 outside of the Pac-10, losing only at West Virginia, when Collison didn't play. Big Sky teams are 6-2-1 in last nine first round games; Montana gave league its first NCAA win in seven years last year. UCLA is 7-7 vs spread as double digit favorite this season.

Wright State won 11 of last 12 games, has senior PG; Brownell was 2-0-1 vs spread in last three first round games while he was at NC-Wilmington, with three games decided by total of 9 pts. Both sides play slow-paced games (Wright 288, Pitt 300). Dixon is just 3-3 in NCAA's, winning by 9,4,15 pts; Pitt is 1-3 against spread as a NCAA favorite under Dixon. I have a selection on this game in this box below.

BYU led 16-3 at UNLV in Mountain West final, couldn't hold on to lead, but they're 12-2 last 14 games, losing at San Diego St, UNLV- they led at half at UCLA, but lost by 13. Xavier is 10-4 outside of A-14; they had won nine in row before GW pulled an upset in A-14 semis. BYU doesn't defend 3 well, which could be trouble vs Xavier, which is ranked 16th nationally in offensive efficiency. BYU's RPI is fifteen slots higher than Xavier's.

North Carolina won ACC tourney Sunday, so turnaround time is short for Heels, who should be able to name score vs Eastern Kentucky club that lost 74-45 vs Ohio State, 78-65 to Kentucky and trailed D-III Kenyon by double digits Nov 20, before they finally won by just 11. Carolina likes to run, is so deep, they've had trouble finding enough minutes for everyone. EKU ranks 312th in pace; can they keep game at a snail's pace?

Gonzaga beat Indiana 90-80 in second round LY, but Hoosiers have new coach, Zags are quicker, smaller, winning six of last eight games after Heytfeldt's suspension. Sampson was 5-2 in last seven first round games at Oklahoma, but Hoosiers looked bad in loss to Illinois in Big 11 tourney, their fifth loss in last 9 games. Zags haven't played in 10 days; they've won last four first round games. Gonzaga will want faster pace here.

Thursday, March 15

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buffalo, New York

Midwest - #4 Maryland vs. #13 Davidson (12:20 PM ET)
The Terrapins are certainly dangerous with all five starters averaging in double-figures. EDGE: MARYLAND
Maryland led the ACC in defending the 3-point shot, which is a huge factor in the NCAA Tournament and could hurt a Davidson team that depends on 3-pointers offensively. EDGE: MARYLAND
The Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last four games versus the ACC.
The Terrapins are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall.

Midwest - #5 Butler vs. #12 Old Dominion (2:50 PM ET)
No Division I team commits fewer turnovers per game (9.4) than the Bulldogs, who have committed less than 10 turnovers in 13 of their last 18 games. EDGE: BUTLER
The Bulldogs don't have a player taller than 6-foot-7, and they will likely face a size disadvantage in the tournament after getting outrebounded 18 times this season. Meanwhile, Old Dominion outrebounded opponents by an average of four rebounds per game this season, allowing opponents very few opportunities on the offensive glass. EDGE: OLD DOMINION
Butler is 19-0 when holding opponents under 60 points.
Butler’s tournament hinges on the performance of junior guard A.J. Graves. The Bulldogs started the season with a 23-2 record following victories over Notre Dame, Indiana, Tennessee and Gonzaga. In Butler’s last eight games, Graves has made just 15 of 59 (25.4 percent) three-point attempts and the Bulldogs split their last six down the stretch. EDGE: OLD DOMINION
The Monarchs are 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games.
The OVER is 6-1 in the Bulldogs' last seven neutral site games as favorites.

West - #6 Duke vs. #11 VCU (7:10 PM ET)
The Blue Devils have a tendency to wear down in the second half because of a lack of dependable depth. EDGE: VCU
VCU can kill opponents with outstanding shooting, hitting over 40 percent from 3-point range and 72.5 percent from the free-throw line. EDGE: VCU
Virginia Commonwealth went 27-6 this season and has a fantastic talent in guard Eric Maynor. The Rams are also coached by Anthony Grant, who just a year ago was an assistant on national champion Florida. EDGE: VCU
The Rams are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six neutral site games.
The Blue Devils are 1-6 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games as favorites.
The OVER is 9-1 in the Rams' last 10 games as underdogs.

West - #3 Pittsburgh vs. #14 Wright State (9:40 PM ET)
Wright State won 11 of its last 12 entering the NCAA tournament, holding opponents to just 56.9 points per game during that stretch 26.1 percent shooting from behind the arc. EDGE: WRIGHT STATE
Eight of Wright State's nine losses were on the road and only two reserves see any significant playing time. EDGE: PITT
Wright State took some time to adjust to new coach Brad Brownell but finished the season winning 12 of its final 13 games, including two over Butler. EDGE: WRIGHT STATE
The Raiders are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall.
The UNDER is 20-4-1 in the Raiders' last 25 non-conference games.
The OVER is 19-7 in the Panthers' last 26 non-conference games.

Lexington, Kentucky

South - #1 Ohio State vs. #16 Central Connecticut State (7:10 PM ET)
Experts believe this is Ohio State’s one shot of winning the national championship with Greg Oden at center before he heads off to the NBA. Oden averaged 17 points and 12.3 rebounds in the Big Ten Tournament. BIG EDGE: OHIO STATE
The Buckeyes are 0-4 ATS in their last four NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.
The UNDER is 17-7 in the Buckeyes last 24 games as a favorite of 13 points or greater.

South - #8 BYU vs. #9 Xavier (9:40 PM ET)
The Musketeers are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games.
The Cougars are 0-6 ATS in their last six neutral site games as underdogs.

South - #6 Louisville vs. #11 Stanford (12:40 PM ET)
Louisville head coach Rick Pitino has a .756 winning percentage in the tournament – taking #4 Louisville to the 2005 Final Four and #6 Providence to the 1987 Final Four. EDGE: LOUISVILLE
Stanford is 1-5 ATS in its last six neutral site games as an underdog.
Louisville is 13-3-1 ATS in its last 17 games overall.

South - #3 Texas A&M vs. #14 Penn (3:10 PM ET)
The Quakers are 0-6 ATS in their last six non-conference games.
The Aggies are 24-10 ATS in their last 34 games overall.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina

East - #8 Marquette vs. #9 Michigan State (7:20 PM ET)
Michigan State has won seven out of 10 first round appearances with head coach Tom Izzo at the helm. EDGE: MICHIGAN STATE
The Spartans are 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 NCAA Tournament games favorites.
The Spartans are 0-5 ATS in their last five games versus the Big East.
The OVER is 13-3 in the Golden Eagles' last 16 overall.

East - #1 North Carolina vs. #16 Eastern Kentucky (9:40 PM ET)
The Colonials are 11-1-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall.
The Tar Heels are 9-0 ATS in their last nine non-conference games.

East - #7 Boston College vs. #10 Texas Tech (12:25 PM ET)
Boston College head coach Al Skinner has won at least one game in four of five NCAA appearances at Boston College. EDGE: BOSTON COLLEGE
The Red Raiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games.
The Eagles are 6-1 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games.

East - #2 Georgetown vs. #15 Belmont (3:55 PM ET)
The Hoyas are 15-3-2 ATS in their last 20 games as favorites.
The UNDER is 8-1 in the Hoyas' last nine neutral site games.

Sacramento, California

West- #2 UCLA vs. #15 Weber State (7:25 PM ET)
UCLA guard Arron Afflalo is regarded as the Pac-10's best clutch player, but the Bruins are comfortable with multiple players having the ball at the end of the game. EDGE: UCLA
The Bruins have no starter taller than 6-foot-8, which was a definite disadvantage against Florida in last year's national championship game. The Bruins are also far from effective at the charity stripe - shooting just 66 percent from the foul line. Weber State is led by 6-10 forward David Patten, who averaged 14.4 points per game as the Big Sky Player of the Year. EDGE: WEBER STATE
For the second straight season, the Bruins don’t have to leave the state. UCLA played in San Diego and then Oakland en route to Indianapolis in 2006. This season, UCLA is slated to play in Sacramento and San Jose as a No. 2 seed. BIG EDGE: UCLA
The Wildcats are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as an underdog.
The UNDER is 10-3 in the Bruins' last 13 NCAA Tournament games.

West - #7 Indiana vs. #10 Gonzaga (9:55 PM ET)
Indiana doesn't have a player that averages over 15 points per game but certainly is capable from beyond the arc, averaging close to 40 percent from 3-point range on the season. EDGE: INDIANA
Gonzaga guard Derek Raivio led the nation from the free-throw line, hitting 96 percent of his free throws. EDGE: GONZAGA
Indiana lost five of its last nine games, and center D.J. White attempted just 15 shots in 75 minutes of action in the Big Ten Tournament. EDGE: GONZAGA
Indiana head coach Kelvin Sampson is 11-12 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. Four of those victories came in a 2002 Final Four run with Oklahoma. His last six tournament teams have been eliminated by a lower seed. EDGE: GONZAGA

Chicago, Illinois

Midwest - #7 UNLV vs. #10 Georgia Tech (12:25 PM ET)
The Rebels have an assortment of scoring options - so early foul trouble doesn't hinder this team as much as others. Senior point-guard Kevin Kruger led the Mountain West Conference in assists and is the teams most dangerous shooter. EDGE: UNLV
Being away from home is certainly a concern for Georgia Tech, as the Yellow Jackets were a dismal 1-8 in true road games this year, which will still be a factor even on a neutral court. EDGE: UNLV
UNLV advanced to four Final Fours and won the 1990 national title under Jerry Tarkanian but hasn’t wont a single NCAA tournament game since they ran him out after the 1991-92 season. SLIGHT EDGE: GEORGIA TECH
The Yellow Jackets are 4-1 ATS in their last five neutral site games as favorites.
The Rebels are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games underdogs.
The UNDER is 9-1-1 in the Runnin' Rebels' last 11 games as underdogs.

Midwest - #2 Wisconsin vs. #15 Texas A&M-CC (2:55 PM ET)
With two-year starter Brian Butch out for at least the first two weekends with a dislocated right elbow, Wisconsin is still adjusting. The Badgers are far from automatic on the free-throw line and behind the arc. EDGE: TEXAS A&M-CC
Texas A&M-CC center Chris Daniels averaged 15.3 points and 6.7 rebounds to become the Southland Conference Player of the Year award. He's a 7-footer with an outside touch and opposing teams must design a defense to stop him. EDGE: TEXAS A&M-CC
The Badgers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game.
The UNDER is 5-1 in the Badgers' last six games as favorites of 13 points or greater.

West - #1 Kansas vs. #16 Niagara (7:10 PM ET)
The Kansas Jayhawks certainly look formidable as a No. 1 seed in the West region, but any team can claim as many wins as the Jayhawks in the past two NCAA tournaments. The Jayhawks were bounced by Bucknell and Bradley the last two years. EDGE: NIAGARA
Niagara got a surprise performance from Clif Brown in Tuesday's play-in game, as he connected on a career-high six 3-pointers en route to 32 points in a 77-69 win over Florida A&M. Brown stepped up with 24 points in the second half alone after scoring 18 or less in his previous 11 games while leading scorer Charron Fisher battled foul trouble and totaled just 13 points. EDGE: NIAGARA

West - #8 Kentucky vs. #9 Villanova (9:40 PM ET)
If Villanova leads late in games, it's hard to beat them. The Wildcats shot a Big East-best 78.4 percent from the free-throw line during the regular season. BIG EDGE: VILLANOVA
Kentucky has lost only one first round game with Tubby Smith as head coach – versus Georgia in 1998. EDGE: KENTUCKY
Villanova is 0-4 ATS in its last four NCAA Tournament games.
Kentucky is 8-0-1 ATS in its last nine games versus the Big East.

Columbus, Ohio

West - #5 Virginia Tech vs. #12 Illinois (7:10 PM ET)
The Hokies have great depth with nine players averaging at least 10 minutes per game, led by senior guards Zabian Dowdell and Jamon Gordon. EDGE: VIRGINIA TECH
Illinois has just nine scholarship players at their disposal and only eight that actually play. The Fighting Illini lack depth and the ability to mix-and-match with versatile opponents
The Fighting Illini are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games.
The UNDER is 11-0 in the Fighting Illini's last 11 Friday games.

West - #4 Southern Illinois vs. #13 Holy Cross (9:40 PM ET)
Holy Cross head coach Ralph Willard's coaching style gives the Crusaders a chance to win any game. The Crusaders force 16.9 turnovers per game and knock down free throws, which has led them to 18 of 20 games to capture a fourth Patriot League title in seven years. EDGE: HOLY CROSS
The Patriot League champion (Bucknell) has won first-round games over Kansas and Arkansas each of the last two years. EDGE: HOLY CROSS
The best way to beat Southern Illinois’ man-to-man halfcourt defense is to run against them. However, Holy Cross puts a lot of emphasis on slowing the game down, ranking seventh in the country in team defense with 57.4 points allowed per game. EDGE: UNDER
The Patriot League champion has won first-round games each of the last two years. EDGE: HOLY CROSS
The Crusaders are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as underdogs.
The Salukis are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games as favorites.

South - #4 Virginia vs. #13 Albany (12:15 PM ET)
Virginia has a great backcourt with guards Sean Singletary and J.R. Reynolds but could have big problems matching up with an opponent with any kind of size. Fortunately for the Cavs in this round, Albany doesn't have much size. EDGE: VIRGINIA
The Great Danes are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall.
The Cavaliers are 0-11 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as a favorite.

South - #5 Tennessee vs. #12 Long Beach State (2:45 PM ET)
Long Beach State coach Larry Reynolds is in a unique situation, as he doesn’t have a contract beyond this season and could be out as head coach. His team won the Big West though and could be a dangerous No. 12 seed. SLIGHT EDGE: LONG BEACH STATE
The 49ers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
The Volunteers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight neutral site games as a favorite.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Midwest - #8 Arizona vs. #9 Purdue (7:20 PM ET)
Arizona thrives in a fast-paced game with three go-to guys in Ivan Radenovic, Marcus Williams and Chase Budinger. The Wildcats also have a very capable point guard in senior Mustafa Shakur. EDGE: ARIZONA
More than most Big Ten teams, the Boilermakers had a huge split between their home and away performances. Purdue went almost three years without a victory on an opponent's court before beating Penn State 69-59 on February 3rd. EDGE: ARIZONA
Arizona seemed to lack interest in the Pac-10 Tournament, but this team has what experts believe to be four future NBA players on its roster. EDGE: ARIZONA
The Boilermakers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games versus the Pac-10.
The Wildcats are 6-0 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games.
The OVER is 4-0 in the Wildcats' last four NCAA Tournament games.

Midwest - #1 Florida vs. #16 Jackson State (9:50 PM ET)
With all five starters plus two key reserves back from last year's NCAA championship team, the Gators have plenty of tournament experience. They shoot better than 50 percent from the field overall and 40 percent on threes. EDGE: FLORIDA
The biggest obstacle for Florida is falling behind early or coming out flat, which is definitely a possibility during six possible games in the tournament. The Gators averaged two more turnovers a game more than their 16 SEC opponents. EDGE: JACKSON STATE
Jackson State will go only as far as Trey Johnson wants to take them, as he averages 27.1 points per game - making him the second-leading scorer in the country. EDGE: JACKSON STATE
The Gators are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as favorites.
The UNDER is 9-2 in the Gators' last 11 NCAA Tournament games as favorites.

South - #2 Memphis vs. #15 North Texas (12:30 PM ET)
Memphis is riding a 22-game winning streak - the longest in the nation - but lacks respect as a member of Conference USA. The Tigers have just three victories against the tourney field (Kentucky, Gonzaga and Jackson State). SLIGHT EDGE: MEMPHIS
The Mean Green Eagles are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games.
The Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as favorites of 13 points or greater.

South - #7 Nevada vs. #10 Creighton (3 PM ET)
The Blue Jays are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games as underdogs.
The OVER is 18-4 in the Wolf Pack's last 22 games as favorites of 0.5-6.5 points.

Spokane, Washington

Midwest - #6 Notre Dame vs. #11 Winthrop (2:35 PM ET)
The Eagles rely on three seniors - including big man Craig Bradshaw - and two juniors among its top six players. Bradshaw was Winthrop's most dominant plyer down the stretch, averaging 15.1 points and 7.3 rebounds during the conference season. All six have played in at least two NCAA Tournament games. EDGE: WINTHROP
Winthrop has four losses this season: North Carolina, Maryland, Wisconsin and Texas A&M. The only thing holding the Eagles back is head coach Greg Marshall’s 0-6 record in the dance. SLIGHT EDGE: WINTHROP
The Eagles are 7-0 ATS in their last seven neutral site games.
The Fighting Irish are 4-0 ATS in their last four neutral site games.
The OVER is 13-3-1 in the Fighting Irish's last 17 non-conference games.

Midwest - #3 Oregon vs. #14 Miami-Ohio (5:05 PM ET)
The Ducks are an explosive offensive team with Pac-10 leading scorer Aaron Brooks leading the way. They can score points in bunches, which makes opposing coaches try to slow down the pace. EDGE: OREGON
The RedHawks play a Princeton-style offense, which is something that has been successful in March before. They like to slow down the tempo and use the shot clock. Miami will try to grind out victories due to lack of depth on the bench. EDGE: OREGON
Oregon guard Bryce Taylor is coming into this tournament with some serious steam, scoring 32 points after a perfect game in the Ducks’ Pac-10 tourney final over USC – going 11-for-11, 7-of-7 on 3s, 3-of-3 at the line. EDGE: OREGON
The Redhawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five neutral site games.
The Ducks are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven neutral site games.

East - #4 Texas vs. #13 New Mexico State (7:25 PM ET)
The Aggies are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games as an underdog.
The Longhorns are 1-5 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.

East - #5 USC vs. #12 Arkansas (9:55 PM ET)
USC head coach Tim Floyd hasn’t been to the tournament in more than a decade. Only one Floyd-coached team has lost to a lower-seeded team. On the other end, only one of his teams’ has ever beaten a higher seed. EDGE: USC
The Razorbacks are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games as underdogs.
The Trojans are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a SU loss.

Washington at Indiana
Poor Indiana. The Pacers haven't won in nearly three weeks and are mired in their longest losing streak (10 games) in 18 years. Adding to the woes are injuries that have kept Jermaine O'Neal and Marquis Daniels out of the lineup. But as bad as things are right now, the Pacers may actually have a shot at home tonight against Southeast Division-leading Washington. The Wizards are finding it difficult to pull out wins, dropping their last three to Atlanta by three points, New York by one and Miami by two. Overall the Wiz have lost five straight on the road and haven't won away from home since beating Philadelphia back on February 14. In addition All-Star Caron Butler has been suffering from a bum knee that could keep him out of tonight's game. Indiana looks like a decent home underdog (+3 1/2) according to Dunkel, which has the Pacers favored straight up by 1 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Indiana (+3 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
