60 Down, 8 To Go

It has been a very exciting NCAA Tournament, and now we are down to eight teams. In the South Region, Kentucky will battle the red hot Baylor Bears for a right to go to the Final Four. This should be a very fun game to watch. Both teams are very athletic. In the end, I like Kentucky to move on to the Final Four. The East Region will be a battle between two powerhouses in Syracuse and Ohio State. This will be the game that 'Cuse will miss Fab Melo the most. However, I think Dion Waiters will have a huge game and lead the orange to New Orleans. The West Region will be a very interesting matchup between Louisville and Florida. Kyle Kuric and Gorgui Dieng will both have big games. Billy Donovan has never beaten Rick Pitino. Tonight will not be the night that he gets his first win against Pitino. Chane Behanan will be the secret for the Cardinals. The West Region will be a tossup game between UNC and Kansas. Kansas' Travis Releford will need to do a good job on covering Harrison Barnes. This game will be very close, but I like Kansas. Jeff Withey, arguably one of the most underrated players, will have a monster game. Hopefully, this Elite Eight will be as exciting as the other rounds.
