Rotation #721-722
Michigan +7 over Purdue
Purdue depends so much on size and have out rebounded every team this year except for this Michigan team. Michigan is playing with confidence and typically wins like yesterday give teams momentum to carry on. This should be another game right down to the wire. Take Michigan.

Rotation #729-730
St. Joes +2 over Dayton
Dayton has been not been fully healthy all year long. The last time these two teams played Dayton couldn’t hit a three pointer or a foul shot. St. Joe’s is a better overall shooting team and should hit one big run in this game that sends them on their way to victory. Take St. Joes
3:00 PM EST
Rotation #739-740
UConn -2 over Temple
UConn has a lot of future NBA players and one thing that you can’t question is their heart. This Huskies team has no quit in them as you saw yesterday. This team might be a little tired from all of that overtime yesterday, but they have found the scoring touch going against a Temple team that can be beaten if you can get you fair share of points. Cincinnati is an elite defense and UConn shredded them yesterday. I expect another shootout with UConn cashing in and being almost automatic from the foul line is huge in these spots. Take UConn
5:30 PM EST
Rotation #743-744
Villanova -6 over Seton Hall
What a great win last night for Seton Hall. This is a young team made up of all second year players and to come this far just shows how talented they are. If this team can get hot shooting there is no doubt they can win this game, but it is going to be hard for them to turn around after beating Xavier and to get another win less than 24 hours later. This is why experience means so much in this game. Nova has it all and can really frustrate teams once they get the lead. Take Villanova.

Rotation #747-748
Kansas -3.5 over WVU
Bill Self wins Big 12 Titles. We can leave the write up at that because there is no way I am going to wager against the guy in these spots. Self has earned the right to be considered one of the greatest coaches in this era and Kansas themselves as a team has very little flaws. This should be a good one, but I expect the game and the late calls to go the way of the Jayhawks. Take Kansas.
10:00 PM EST
Rotation #751-752
Virginia +1.5 over UNC
In my opinion Virginia is the best team in the country. UNC is getting a lot of credit because they just beat up on vulnerable teams. UVA has beaten 7 ranked teams this year. In many of those wins they made their opponents look like high school teams. Not only does this team have the best defense in the nation, but they make their foul shots and hit their three pointers. UNC is not so great in those spots. I only see teams that hit double digit three pointers having a shot. Take Virginia.
