If I had a nickel for every time that ball saved me, I'd have a shitload of nickels!

BIG DADDY'S 'SWEET SIXTEEN' PREDICTIONS


CHICAGO REGIONAL
#1 Illinois vs. #12 Wisconsin-Milwaukee (+10.5)

SPREAD: Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Look for the cheeseheads to keep it close)

#3 Arizona vs. #2 Oklahoma St. (-1)
Look for Salim "I wish I was J.J." Stoudamire to shoot the lights out, but my money is on any team with six seniors on its squad.
WINNER: Oklahoma State
SPREAD: Oklahoma State

ALBUQUERQUE REGIONAL
#1 Washington vs. #4 Louisville (+1.5)
I live on the East Coast, I was raised on the East Coast, so why in the world would I pick a team West of the Mississippi?
