Continuing on to the South and the Atlanta and St. Louis regions!
ATLANTA!
Kentucky has done exactly what's been expected of them so far. They've crushed 8 Iowa State 87-71, and 16 Western Kentucky 81-66. Indiana overcame VCU's best shot and won 63-61, after beating New Mexico State 79-66. Indiana beat the Wildcats earlier this year on a buzzer beater in Bloomington. This game won't end that way. Kentucky has been waiting to avenge that loss, and get their chance now. Look at Kentucky to win, and win big.
Robby's pick: Kentucky
Robby's original pick: Kentucky > Indiana
(3) Baylor Bears vs. (10) Xavier Musketeers
Baylor has turned it back up and taken down 11 Colorado and 14 South Dakota State with relative ease. Xavier on the other hand hasn't had much as far as good competition, beating 15 Lehigh 70-58 and 7 Notre Dame 67-63. Xavier is about to get a reality check. Goodnight, Musketeers.
Robby's pick: Baylor
Robby's original pick: Colorado > Duke
SAINT LOUIS!
(1) North Carolina Tar Heels vs. (13) Ohio Bobcats
North Carolina has some injury problems. ESPN told you so. Whatever. They've beat a dirty Creighton team 87-73, and 16 Vermont 77-58. I'm not worried about them coming into this game. Ohio's magical run should be over this weekend. Heels advance.
Robby's pick: North Carolina
Robby's original pick: North Carolina > USF
(2) Kansas Jayhawks vs. (11) North Carolina State Wildcats
HEY LOOK KANSAS GETS TO PLAY A DOUBLE DIGIT SEED. I actually really like NC State, in a non-biased pick. I had said coming into the tournament that I was really high on this team. NC State has really turned it up at the end of the year and are peaking at the right time. They now have a legitimate shot at the Final Four. First up is a Kansas team that likes to sleepwalk trough 3/4ths of the game then play. they do that here, NC State will not relinquish the lead.
Robby's pick: NC State
Robby's original pick: Kansas > NC State
