Freaky Friday Sweet 16 Mortal Locks

Okay, I was 3-1 yesterday, but in real life was 4-0 in El Pres gambling style. But, you would have to be an absolute fool to doubt me after my scintillating picks in the first two rounds of the tournament. I told people all year that I owned college basketball and it proved last week with a 14-6 record. For those of you keeping score at home, that's a 70% winning percentage. Now if it's possible I love tonight's matchup's more than my previous 17 winners. So please, I'm begging you as a friend to put all your faith in me and bet your life savings on these winners. It's like robbing a bank, except there's no risk. It's that easy. Most people are probably shaking their heads at me right now, but there is some degenerate out there starting a slow clap for me. 

Kansas vs MSU -1

I almost like this pick as much as I liked Villanova last night. I have Kansas as my sleeper pick to get to Motown, and now that Memphis is gone they have as good a shot as any. Don't get me wrong, Michigan State is a good team but I just don't see the Jayhawk losing here. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK. 

The Pick - Kansas

Arizona vs Louisville -9.5

Arizona beat Cleveland State so they must be legit, they'll cover but the 'Ville moves on. 

The Pick - Arizona

Syracuse vs Oklahoma -1 

Now ordinarily I'd say that Syracuse is a layup here. But I saw how OU cheated against Michigan. I saw how the refs called a charge on Manny Harris for breathing while at the same time letting Blake Griffin body slam people in the paint without a call. So I'm a little nervous that this is an inside job for the Sooners. But, having said that I'm still going with the ever stylish Gerry McNamara and the 'Cuse. 

The Pick - Syracuse

Gonzaga vs UNC -9.5

Duke looked good last night, huh? Seriously, how pathetic is the ACC? Just like I've been saying from Day 1, the conference is filed with teams that are soft, dimwitted, and weak like the Ukraine. North Carolina is probably a bubble team if they play in the Big East. Sure they may sneak by Gonzaga here, but it will be a battle the whole way. 

The Pick - Gonzaga
