NCAA Tournament picks explained – South Regional

Midwest. West. Two down. Two to go.

SOUTH REGIONAL

Second Round:

Kansas vs. Western Kentucky

PICK: KANSAS :: Remember a few years ago when Ty Rogers hit that 3-point shot to send WKU over Duke in overtime. He won an ESPY for “Best Moment.” That doesn’t happen to the Hilltoppers this year – especially not with Jeff Withey around the basket.

North Carolina vs. Villanova

PICK: VILLANOVA ::  Know how everyone is hoping for a Roy Williams vs. Kansas rematch? Villanova and All-Rookie team guard Ryan Arcidiacono spoil that storyline.

Virginia Commonwealth vs. Akron

PICK: VCU :: Because who doesn’t still love VCU’s Cinderella story.

Michigan vs. South Dakota State

PICK: MICHIGAN :: Big Ten player of the Year in Trey Burke? Tim Hardaway’s son Tim Jr.? That’s a recipe for a straight track to second-round victory.

UCLA vs. Minnesota

PICK: UCLA :: Shabazz Muhammad overtakes the Big Ten’s worst team that made it into the tournament.

Florida vs. Northwestern State

PICK: FLORIDA :: Billy Donovan and his Gators love this tournament. The love grows with another victory.

San Diego State vs. Oklahoma
