SPORTS MEMO
Recommendation: Kansas
Few expected Villanova to make it this far, but despite being one of the last teams to make the tournament, they are still a Big East team that won 20 games during the regular season. The Wildcats are nothing more than a solid team playing its best basketball of the season. Guard Scottie Reynolds is performing
up to his capabilities, and the defense is making key stops when needed. The only hope for Villanova in this one, however, is to string multiple stops on the defensive end together, something
few teams were able to do against the offense of Kansas. And after playing the suspect defenses of Clemson and Siena, Villanova must now face a team capable of completely taking Reynolds out of the game. UNLV went to line 34 times vs. only 15 for Kansas, yet the Jayhawks won by 20. The reason was KU?s defense, which allowed its first two opponents to shoot 33-of-100 from the floor. For the season, Villanova shot just 43% as a team, a number we will likely see against KU?s stout defense.
It is a unique situation because Villanova is better than its No. 12 seed, but Kansas will be the best team the Wildcats have faced all season and nothing suggests that they are strong enough to make this a game. Look for Villanova?s run of hot shooting to come to a halt as we lay the points with Kansas.
Recommendation: Davidson
In one of the more amazing statistical stories of the tournament, the Wildcats scored 47 second half points against the vaunted Georgetown
defense and for the game, shot just 39% to the Hoyas? 63% and somehow came away with the victory. The reason was Stephen Curry, who is currently the tournament?s Most Valuable Player. He is getting plenty of support from his teammates, especially on defense, but expect Wisconsin to respect Curry a bit more than Georgetown did. Wisconsin is as stingy as its comes on the defensive end. They allowed Kansas State?s Michael Beasley and Bill Walker to get their allotment of points and completely took out the rest of the Wildcats
squad. They?ll face a similar situation here in guarding Curry. It?s been 12 games since the Badgers allowed 70 points or more and even if Curry goes off for 30-plus, the Wildcats are going to need to continue getting help from the supporting cast. The best comparison
we can give you in terms of what to expect offensively out of Davidson is when they lost to UCLA 75-63. Curry was limited to 15 points and the Bruins used their physical prowess to bully Davidson
in the paint. Wisconsin has that type of defense, but their lack of offense should allow Davidson to keep within striking distance at all times. We expect this game to go down to the last few minutes
and we?ll back the Wildcats catching a fair amount of points
Recommendation: Memphis
Memphis didn?t look the part of a No. 1 seed in its narrow win over Mississippi State. The Bulldogs played a physical game and were able to find success working the ball down low and fouling out both Robert Dozier and Joey Dorsey. And for the first time, we actually saw the Tigers? poor free throw shooting play a role. It wasn?t in the straight up outcome of the game, but Memphis should have covered the 9-point spread had it not been for the 15-of-32, 47% effort from the line. Memphis has now covered only three times in its last 15 games. Michigan State is finally playing up to its capabilities. They beat Pittsburgh at its own game by outrebounding them 33 to 20 and making life miserable
for the Panthers on the perimeter. Guard Drew Neitzel continued his up and down play with five points against Temple and 21 vs. Pitt. But his biggest issue is going to be guarding Chris Roberts-Douglas and Derrick Rose. Even with Memphis? proneness for mistakes, Michigan State is going to have a huge uphill battle keeping those two from having big games. In our opinion, if Memphis shows up, they are at least 10 points better
than the Spartans on a neutral court. With the short line, you?re better off taking who you think will win the game outright
and we feel Memphis should advance. Lay the points
Recommendation: Texas
It won?t take Texas but two minutes of watching a tape of Stanford
to know that if they can stop Brook Lopez, then they?ll have a big advantage. The Cardinal repeatedly were able to get Lopez the ball in the win over Marquette and each and every time he either got a good look or was able to kick to an open player on the perimeter. The Longhorns will try and counter Lopez with junior center Connor Atchley. Keeping Atchley out of foul trouble is imperative for Texas. He?s not much of a scorer, but any production they can get from him will be an added bonus. A lot of Lopez? success against Marquette
came from him not having to do much work on the defensive end. Stanford is a strong defensive bunch, but a lack of quickness on the perimeter nearly cost them the game against Marquette. Guard Jerel McNeal had a field day with 30 points on 13-of-25 shooting. Texas? defense is vastly underrated
and we need to point out they?ve held nine of their last 12 opponents to 40% or lower from the floor. Even with that advantage
of Lopez down low, we expect Stanford to struggle to score. Keep in mind, this is a team that shot only 45% as a team on the year and close to 40% outside of both Lopez brothers. We?ll take the Longhorns in this one laying less than a bucket.

SPORT: College Basketball Picks
PICK: Wisconsin
REASON FOR PICK: One of the many reasons why I'm such a fan of Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan is because he knows how to get the Badgers to peak at the right time. The Badgers are still an improving club. It's not a fluke the oddsmaker has been a little behind on them as the Badgers have covered nine of their last 10 games. This line is short, too.
The Badgers are the best defensive team in the country, yielding just 53.9 points per game. Only seven foes managed to reach 60 points or more against Wisconsin.
Davidson, though, scored an impressive 74 points in its second-round victory against another great defensive club, Georgetown. Stephen Curry is the hottest shooter in the tournament.
But I don't see the Wildcats continuing their fantastic shooting. The time off has slowed their momentum and brought extra media scrutiny to their small campus.
It's not just the Badgers' tight defense and ace defender Michael Flowers, which are going to impact Davidson's offense. The matchup is being played in Detroit's spacious Ford Field, a football dome stadium where the Lions play.
The NCAA is experimenting by having the court situated right in the middle of the football field. The way it usually is done at football dome stadiums hosting basketball game is to have the court situated on one end instead of the middle. Not this time. This could result in shooting problems because of the raised floor and lack of background in the huge stadium.
This isn't going to bother Wisconsin nearly as much Davidson. The Badgers have a balanced, inside-out scoring attack. Their calling card is defense not offense. But Davidson, being a tiny school, isn't used to playing in such large arenas or dome stadiums.

Game: (867) Washington Wizards vs. (868) Sacramento Kings
Time: 10:05 EST
Line: Sacramento Kings -2.5
Rating: THREE-Star (Ratings from 1 to 6 Units)
Selection: (867) WASHINGTON WIZARDS +2.5
Analysis: The Kings will play host to the surging Wizards at Arco on Friday night and in most cases since their loss to these Wizards back on December 15th 92 to 79 you would lean towards a little revenge for the Kings. Well, like I said in most cases you would but not in this one, the Wizards have won five straight and posted a 4-1 ATS record in this series including two in a row at Arco Arena. The Wizards have not only played well against the Kings but they have defeated the Celtics twice in 3 days back in January. They have recently knocked off the Magic, Raptors, Hornets and came within one point of the Suns. The Kings are struggling with injury issues which will pose a depth problem especially since they are playing their fifth game in eight days. On the playoff front the Wizards are chasing Cleveland for a home court and they realize how important each game is this time of the year. We should get a solid effort from the Wizards as they have the healthier team and more motivation. Data base research has uncovered a few negative situations that the Kings qualify in. The Kings off an ATS loss and going under in their last game now a non-conference home favorite they are 12-26-2 ATS. Sacramento coming off an ATS loss and going under at home in their last game now a non-conference home favorite are 6-18 ATS. One final situation that applies to the Kings as they are 2-10 ATS off a SU win and ATS loss while going under in their last game and now installed as a non-conference home favorite. The Wizards when coming in off a SU win and are now in a game with a line range of 2 to 4 points are 69-44-3 ATS. We also found that teams who are off a SU win and an ATS loss in their last game and are now playing on the non-conference road with a line range of 2 to 4 points are 64-42-4 ATS. Washington has also been money for their backers when installed as a road underdog of less than 6 points this season posting a record of 11-2 ATS. One final technical set to solidify our position on the Wizards, it?s a system that says to Play Against NBA home teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams (+/- 3 points per game differential) after 42 or more games, after allowing 100 points or more 2 straight games, 58-25 ATS since 1996. Take the points here as the Washington Wizards get the call as our NBA 3* Super Situation Selection for Friday

DAVIDSON
Take the points with Davidson tonight against Wisconsin in the Midwest Regional.
I?ll admit I didn?t give Davidson any respect in their matchup with Georgetown, but I am a believer now and I?m taking them plus the points against the Badgers.
How can you not respect what Stephen Curry has done up to this point? He?s been arguably the best player in the entire tournament and if he?s feeling it again from the outside the Badgers will be powerless to stop him.
I also like what Davidson did in the non-conference portion of its schedule this season. Having played North Carolina, Duke and Ucla, each of whom were given a scare by the Wildcats, gave them the confidence that they could compete with the best teams in the nation and not be intimidated.
Now Wisconsin is not to be undermined, but they lack the dynamic scorer that Davidson has with Curry, and if push comes to shove late you have to like the Wildcats chances to stay within the number simply because they have that go-to player they can rely on in the clutch.
Take the points with Davidson as they stay within the number tonight.
10 Dime ?
MEMPHIS
Lay the points with Memphis tonight over Michigan State in the South Regional.
The Spartans play tough defense and you have to like coach Tom Izzo?s track record in the NCAA tournament, but I don?t think they can hang with the athletic Tigers tonight.
Memphis is on a mission to silence the critics who don?t give the Tigers credit for playing in a soft conference. They should be successful tonight against a Spartans team that had problems pressuring high-caliber backcourts.
The Tigers are talented at the guard spot, but they are also deep at that position. Their quickness should cause problems for Michigan State?s Drew Neitzel, who despite his hot shooting against Pitt has been erratic overall this year.
If Neitzel is forced to expend his energy running around trying to defend the Tigers? backcourt it?s going to lead to tired legs which will hinder his shooting percentage.
Take Memphis as they grab the win and cover tonight.
