2ND ROUND NCAA TOURNEY GOY
UCLA / VILLANOVA
Take VILLANOVA
UCLA and Villanova clash early Saturday morning in the Wachovia Center, both looking to advance into next week's Sweet 16 action. HUGE home court advantage for the Philadelphia-based Wildcats, not to mention the early morning tipoff that gives the west coast Bruins the feel of a 7am start. Looking for more reasons to play the Cats in this particular matchup? How about the fact that in most games, Villanova foes have an edge depth-wise, as the Big East entry generally goes just 8 deep. But in UCLA's last two games, both life and death contests vs USC and Virginia Commonwealth, head coach Ben Howland has almost totally ignored his bench, playing his starters AN AVERAGE of 33.3 minutes per game! Also, there are severe matchup problems in the backcourt for the Bruins. Against VCU, Howland relied on star defender Darren Collison to blanket the Rams Eric Maynor. But Villanova owns FOUR top notch guards in Scottie Reynolds, Corey Stokes, Corey Fisher and Reggie Redding. Additionally, with much improved 6' 8', 230 lb. Dante Cunningham (16.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg) now getting more help on the blocks from senior Shane Clark and Antonio Pena, the Wildcats are, at the very least, the equal of the Bruins in the frontcourt.

WESTERN KENTUCKY / GONZAGA
Take GONZAGA
Nice job by Western Kentucky in downing Illinois, but it gets much tougher for the Hilltoppers here. They got by a team that has no offense in round one, and the Illini could not have been more inept for most of that game. Gonzaga is an entirely different story. This is probably the best ever Zags entry, and they're going to be able to force a much faster pace than Western Kentucky saw in that first round win. Gonzaga has the better athletes and I really like this team's ability to go on extended runs, just as they did once again in knocking out Akron. The number here is cheap, as I have the Zips rated higher than Western Kentucky, yet the number is three points fewer. Major site advantage for the Zags can't hurt, either. Look for Gonzaga to win this game big as my NCAA Tournament Game of the Year!
TEXAS / DUKE
Take TEXAS
Trouble spot for Duke. The Blue Devils may well win this game, but I can't see where it will be easy and I only give them the outright edge because of the site. Man for man, I see the Longhorns matching up well with Duke, and if the Texas backcourt has another hot shooting game they can win this straight up. At the very least, this sure looks like a game that goes to the last couple of possessions, and that makes Texas plus a healthy number of points worth backing.
MARYLAND / MEMPHIS
Take MEMPHIS
Memphis got caught up in the hype and controversy about getting snubbed for a #1 seed, and they were completely lacking in focus against CSUN in the opening round. Concentration should not be an issue here. Maryland was impressive against Cal, but this is a bad matchup for the Terrapins. They can be pressured into turnovers and Memphis will likely be relentless in hounding them all over the court. The Tigers may have gotten a blessing in disguise in that shaky opening win as they located another legit scoring option along the way. Look for the Tigers to get a much better effort all around here and I will lay the points with Memphis in what I believe will be a relatively easy win.
