A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
Tom Izzo and Bill Self are two of the best coaches in America. Kalin Lucas and Sherron Collins are two of the best point guards in America. Friday night, Michigan State and Kansas will take the floor in the Sweet 16 in what should be a great, down-to-the-wire game. Who will win? JRod says Michigan State, but it’s a very close call.
The scintillating whirling dervish of the first weekend is over, and we are left with another outstanding Sweet 16 in the 2009 NCAA Tournament. Get ready for the Thursday-Friday games with the TV schedule, announcer lineup, and spreads; and join Tom Izzo in being pumped for another great weekend of basketball.
Get ready for the second round of the NCAA Tournament with the TV schedule, point spreads, and over-under lines for the Sunday games.
Can Marquette overcome the absence of Dominic James against the frenetic press of Missouri? Can the Wisconsin Badgers overcome Xavier for a trip to the Sweet 16? And who will be the Cinderella of the Sweet 16: Cleveland State or Arizona?
Cleveland State is solid basketball team, and their win last night against Wake Forest was a wire-to-wire domination led by Cedric Jackson, Norris Cole, and head coach Gary Waters.
Get ready for the second round of the NCAA Tournament with the TV schedule, point spreads, and over-under lines for the Saturday games.
Can Matt Painter and Purdue upend Washington? Will Maryland knock out #2 seed Memphis? Can Michigan hang with the Oklahoma Blakegriffins? It should be a fun Saturday of college basketball.
Why will #12 seed Wisconsin beat #5 seed Florida State tonight? Well, it has nothing to do with the fact that Bo Ryan made a video doing the soulja boy dance (although it’s hilarious). But the Badgers, along with the Spartans and Buckeyes, can all win their first round games. A 5-2 first round record in the NCAA Tournament would be huge for the Big Ten conference as it battles to regain some lost respect.
