Dixon is emphasizing better rebounding and look for the Horned Frogs to make a game of this one. TCU lost the first matchup 73-72 at home earlier this season.

The Bulldogs went 4 of 18 from 3-point land vs the #1 Huskies but managed to keep it competitive down the stretch. They're catching Providence off a huge OT win at home vs Creighton. Friars' Hopkins (knee) was a big part of their defense and board work. Friars 4-5 SU without him. We'll look for savvy coach Matta to institute a strong game plan vs big-time player Oduro.

The Hokies have a bit more on floor experience than the Blue Devils; after all, only Filipowski and freshman McCain have started every game.

And to think star SG Jordan Hawkins was recovering from a bad virus and still put in 13 points in 26 minutes. U Conn a bit more polished and offensively prolific.

Xavier/Texas 9:45: Respect the Longhorns but Xavier getting points is too attractive to pass up. Current Xavier HC Sean Miller coached the Musketeers from 2004-09 and was more than partly responsible for Xavier's terrific 25-8-2 ATS NCAA Tournament record. As we know, he went on to Arizona to accomplish greater heights in the NCAA Tournament (Elite Eight 3X) before NCAA violations hit which ultimately landed him back to Xavier. And he's gotten the best out of quality bunch of athletes; as a matter of fact, 5 players are averaging at least 10 PPG. Xavier averages 82 PPG on 50% from the floor and nearly 40% from the perimeter. Texas interim coach doing a great job but not going to out coach Miller even despite the better athlete and slightly deeper bench. Xavier 3-0 ATS as a dog in this price range. Xavier the call.

West Virginia/Kansas 3:00: Kansas already secured top seeding in NCAA Tournament, will have to face a hot WV team that has covered 5 straight, including in yesterday's Big12 Tournament with a solid win over Texas Tech. Huggins has the Mounties playing the inspired defense he's been teaching for years. Bill Self (illness) won't be controlling the bench today and that's a big loss. West Virginia is on the bubble for NCAA Tournament participation and will certainly attain an at large bid with a win here. Take West Virginia

Michigan is defensively solid, including guarding the perimeter - allowing 32.1%. On the other hand, Illinois is a strong defensive team and has held opponents to just 60.5 PPG on this floor this season. Illinois may be a #9 NCAA Tournament seed heading into this game while Michigan is on the bubble. Both teams need a win here to solidify an at large bid. Look for the defensive intensity to increase. We'll give the edge to Michigan in a lower scoring game. "Under" the call.
