Muscle, muscle and more muscle. That is what this region is all about. Memphis, Michigan State, Texas and Stanford. In what I think will be the game of the night Texas takes on Stanford in Houston of all places. In the nightcap Calipara and Izzo can’t ask for anything more.
Texas vs Stanford
The Lopez twins seem to be ready for primetime. After coach Trent Johnson was ejected against Marquette the twins took it upon themselves to get the Cardinal to the Sweet Sixteen. Texas is led by DJ Augustine and BJ Abrams a dynamic backcourt. As you can see it will take a good defensive effort from Stanford’s backcourt and Texas’ frontcourt. I say the Lopez twins make it hard for Abrams and Augustine.
Memphis vs Michigan St.
If you were like me you didn’t think much of the Spartans coming into the tournament. And if you are like me you forgot what a great coach Tom Izzo is. With senior Drew Neitzel being the emotional leader and with their overall physical play Michigan St. outlasted Pitt to get here. Now for the Tigers Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts will be key not on the offensive end but more defensively. Rose will need to take Neitzel out of the game while CDR will need to prevent slashers to hole to keep Dorsey and Dozier out of foul trouble. Speaking of fouls Memphis please hit your free throws. Maybe too much to ask.
Memphis and Stanford face off for the right to go to the Final Four.

Ok you guys who want a playoff have got me thinking. Maybe College Football needs it. Not for the reasons you may think but for these players to stay in the classroom. With all the suspensions going on at Florida State and the Ohio State Buckeyes will be without there starting and back-up cornerbacks. Tennessee will be without two defensive starters for their bowl game. Michigan State will be without five players for their Champs Sports Bowl game. All because they failed in the classroom to meet requirements. Now I know year after year that things like this happen but it just seems that this year the number is out of control. Maybe just maybe the idea of a playoff may stem most of this.
