Picks for Tonight's Sweet 16 Matchups

Yesterday's picks didn't go so well (I went 1-3), so I might as well try this again.

Marquette vs. North Carolina- The Tarheels underclassmen are playing well. Marquette has great guard play while North Carolina is strong inside. Should be a Tarheel victory.

Richmond vs. Kansas- The Jayhawks have been known to lose to lesser opponents as they did in last year's tournament to Northern Iowa. The Spiders' best shot to win the game would be to shoot an incredible percentage from the floor. If not, Kansas' size should control the boards and be enough for the win.

Kentucky vs. Ohio State- The Buckeyes experience, bench and inside-out game should be enough to defeat the Wildcats.

VCU vs. Florida State- Who guessed this would be a Sweet 16 matchup? Both teams are probably surprised to be here- the VCU team is a great post-season story but they had to play in a Round 1 game just to be in the tournament. Won't be surprised either way this game goes, but I think the Seminoles' size and likely rebounding edge will pull out a close victory.
