Sweet Sixteen - Thursday

The UNC Tarheels have blasted their last 2 opponents , scoring over 100 points in both contests. But Washington State has a nasty defense which held ND's Luke Harongody to 10 pts on 3-17 shooting. Hedgie sees a hard fought game here and once again will play UNDER 142......UNC 73 Wash ST 63 3 STARS

Tennessee +3 vs Louisville 1 STAR

Hedgie expects Lofton to finally step it up and drop some big 3 pointers : ""When we played them my freshman year, it mean a lot for trying to get back at them for not recruiting me so hard," Lofton said. "It's four years later and we're trying to go to the Elite Eight."

West VA -1 vs Xavier 1 STAR Huggins is making his mark in West VA.

"He's completely flipped everything around, with rebounding, defense, intensity and goal-wise," forward Joe Alexander said after the Mountaineers practiced at U.S. Airways Center on Wednesday. "The goals changed when he came, from day one. They went from making the NCAA tournament to winning the NCAA tournament."

freaky friday....what's in the water in tampa?

the hedgie almost cancelled his flight to vegas for the sweet 16 last night. not only was the under angle the wrong play but it pained the hedgie who is usually a dog player watch all four lower seeds in tampa not only cover but advance ! that was the first time in the history of the ncaa tournament that all 4 upsets took place at the same venue. usually a 4 team parlay pays 10-1 but if you had place $100 on those 4 teams to pull he upset it would have paid roughly $25,000 !

anyway, the hedgie comes out from UNDER his covers again today.....through round 1 the favorites own a 75% straight up record (24-8) and have covered 66% (21-11). Hedgie will pick the sides today and only stay stubborn on one o/u play.
