UPSET SPECIAL

Minnesota over UCLA: The Gophers slumped down the stretch, going 2-7 but one of those wins was against Indiana. Minnesota has underachieved but can dominate the boards. The Gophers were a respectable 5-5 against top 25 teams, including wins over Indiana, Michigan State and Wisconsin. UCLA is vulnerable without guard Jordan Adams, who suffered a season-ending broken foot in the Pac 12 tournament.

SECOND-ROUND MATCHUPS

1 Kansas vs. 16 Western Kentucky: Senior C Jeff Withey and possible No. 1 overall draft pick Ben McLemore should cruise past the Hilltopers (20-15), a surprise Sun Belt tournament winner.

8 North Carolina vs. 9 Villanova: Roy Williams has a shot to face his former team (Kansas) but Tarheels (24-10) must first get past hot-and-cold Wildcats, who beat Louisville, Georgetown and Syracuse.

5 Va. Commonwealth vs. 12 Akron: The guard oriented Rams could make another extended run and should get past the Mid-America champions, who slumped down the stretch.
