North Carolina Meets Butler In Sweet 16 Of Ncaa Tournament

... has the mental makeup to fight back when punched in the face. The talent is there with Justin Jackson, the ACC Player of the Year, Joel Berry II and Kennedy Meeks leading the way. Defensively, North Carolina has struggled the last two seasons. Yet with long wings, space-eaters in the paint and a number of quick, athletic guards blocking the perimeter, the Tar Heels have upside to improve on that side of the ball. No. 4 Butler. Coach: Chris Holtmann, third year. Overall record: 25-8. Scoring leader: Kelan Martin, junior (16.0). Rebounding leader: Kelan Martin, junior (5.8). Assists leader: Tyler Lewis, senior (4.0). Famous non-athlete alum: Kevin Calabro, sportscaster. Why Butler can win. Steady drives the ship home, at least for this Bulldogs team. Void of a true NBA prospect, Butler uses tough defense, balanced scoring and sharp perimeter shooting to stifle opposing teams. The Bulldogs beat Villanova twice during the season — which looks slightly less impressive now — but proves this squad is capable of beating the best any given ...

Florida Meets Wisconsin In Sweet 16 Of Ncaa Tournament

... Vaughn Allen, sophomore (13.4). Rebounding leader: Devin Robinson, junior (6.3). Assists leader: Kasey Hill, senior (4.5). Famous non-athlete alum: Erin Andrews, Fox Sports sportscaster. Why Florida can win. Despite losing post man John Egbunu, Forida boasts a physical lineup that can hit 3-pointers and punish teams in the paint. Junior forward Devin Robinson has emerged as a double-double threat and Justin Leon has added a great outside shot to his arsenal. The Gators have multiple players who can step up and take over games. It's hard to game plan against them, which is why they punished Virginia's stingy defense. No. 8 Wisconsin. Coach: Greg Gard, second year. Overall record: 27-9. Scoring leader: Bronson Koenig, senior (14.5). Rebounding leader: Ethan Happ, sophomore (9.1). Assists leader: Ethan Happ, sophomore (2.8). Famous non-athlete alum: Frank Lloyd Wright, architect. Why Wisconsin can win. This veteran group struggled a bit down the stretch in the Big Ten, but that conference has proved to be deep and talented with a number of good performances in the tournament. A few small injuries and lackluster play are in ...

Sweet 16, Elite 8 Schedule, Odds And Picks

... hurts them, but they still have plenty of talent left on the roster (e.g. Dillon Brooks and Tyler Dorsey). That being said, Michigan is playing well right now (winners of its last six and 12 of its last 14), and it's hard to pick against a team at its peak. Gonzaga and West Virginia should be a close, low-scoring contest, but the Bulldogs' seven-foot bigs (freshman Zach Collins and Przemek Karnowski) will be too much for West Virginia's forwards. Kansas should protect its (second) house, the Sprint Center in Kansas City, which is just 45 minutes away from Lawrence. Purdue should hang around thanks to sophomore forward Caleb Swanigan, who would get my vote for Naismith Player of the Year if I had one. The only potential blowout on the list is Arizona over Xavier. The Musketeers have played well in this tournament, but one can't help but wonder if they benefitted from a favorable draw with two over-seeded teams in Maryland and Florida State. Still, give credit to the Muskies for being the only double-digit seed in the ...

Ncaa Stands By Position On Louisville, Pitino

... read. "In this latest correspondence, the NCAA Enforcement Staff's Response reiterates its previous position and, in fact, makes clear that the allegation does not state that Coach Pitino should have detected or known about the violations.
