SATURDAY - MARCH 29TH

6:40 PM Xavier (7) vs UCLA (1)

WHY: CBS starts things off with the least exciting of the four games.. Xavier won't be given much of a chance, but always shows up to play

TEMPO: Average

ODDS: UCLA by 6

PRO PROSPECTS: UCLA - Kevin Love, Darren Collison, Russell Westbrook; Xavier - Josh Duncan, Derrick Brown

KEY: Point guard play. Collison has been inconsistent.. while Xavier's offense can sputter if Lavender's not contributing

EXPECT: Xavier to get into an early hole, fight back strong, but eventually lose by 5

9:05 PM  Louisville (4) vs North Carolina (1)

WHY: Stephen Curry aside.. this is the best game to me. Louisville is quietly one of the Top 4 National Title contenders.

TEMPO: Fast

ODDS: UNC by 5.5

PRO PROSPECTS: Louisville - Earl Clark, Terrence Williams, Derrick Caracter, Juan Palacios; UNC - Ty Lawson, Tyler Hansbrough, Wayne Ellington, Danny Green, Deon Thompson

KEY: David Padgett. Some think L'Ville can't handle Hansbrough, but the Cardinal big men are underrated

EXPECT: Hansbrough won't dominate as Padgett & Caracter show up to play. L'Ville will go stagnant on offense at times, but will cover the spread
