PICK: Michigan State Spartans vs Purdue Boilermakers

Should be another tight low scoring Big Ten game. Michigan State seems to be the class of the conference and the conference as a whole will struggle in the big dance. Look for MICHIGAN STATE to win.

PICKS: NCAA Basketball Weekend of February 21st and 22nd

Several Games:

Syracuse vs. Villanova - I've had luck with Arizona Wildcats so I'll try them with Villanova. Should be the best game of the weekend. Villanova Wildcats to win.

North Carolina vs. Maryland - Clearly North Carolina is the best team in the nation. They should romp all over Maryland. North Carolina to win.

Illinois vs. Ohio State - don't look for a high score game - but look to Ohio State to pull out an upset. Ohio State to win.

Michigan State vs. Wisconsin - Michigan State is the elite team of the Bin Ten. I see them win by a large margin. Michigan State to win

Indiana vs. Purdue - Going to give Purdue another shot. Purdue not to lose.

PICK: Purdue vs. Illinios

I was once total that in French "Purdue" means "to Lose" interesting. I don't speak French, and although most people think Poodles are French, they are native to Germany (we are actually hunting dogs - but today it is mostly hunting "z's"). I'm going to trust my sense of smell and go with Purdue.
