Pinnacle—— San Diego St

One can’t count out how important basic fundamental play and defense is when teams make it to the Sweet 16. This is the absolute last type of team Alabama wants to face as this is a bad matchup for Bama. Defense is going to be the key to unlocking an Elite Eight birth for San Diego State. San Diego St enters Friday's game with one of the best defenses in the country (63.1 points per game, 25th in the NCAA). San Diego State also defends the three-point line exceptionally well at 28.8 percent (sixth in the NCAA) and gives up 31.2 rebounds per game (30th in the NCAA). The Crimson Tide will not win this game by margin as the Aztecs' defense is one of the best in the NCAA. San Diego State will want to slow the pace, as the Tide have an explosive offense led by Miller, Sears, and Quinerly. Alabama likes to move with speed, hit three point shots, and get extra possesions on the offensive glass. These are all areas that San Diego State can slow down. There may not be an upset, but a low scoring and close affair is on tap.The Aztecs have the ability to slow this game down and limit the possessions of the Crimson Tide, so backing the Aztecs to keep this game within reach will be our best bet. Watch the difference that older and more experienced players bring to the court. San Diego State is even more physical with its rotation of seven seniors and two juniors who can all mash and bash. Alabama’s going to get shoved around, and again, it's dealing with a veteran team that looks and plays like it spent the last five years in a college weight room (four starters check in at 220 pounds or more). Alabama won't be able to control the interior, and almost more importantly here, its great defense won't force mistakes. In games in which they've limited opponents to 65 or fewer points, the Aztecs are 20-0 this season.

Rotation # 650
Creighton -10.5 over Princeton
Princeton certainly has made a great run at the 15 seed, but historically lower seeds fizzle out as we get to the better competition. Creighton is in a different weight class as they have played in tougher competition and are the far superior team. Both teams have a tremendous upside for next season as two younger teams left in the tournament. Greg McDermott is an outstanding coach that will lead the Bluejays to a double-digit victory. Creighton doesn’t play with one superstar, as they can beat you with different players in many areas. Look for the Bluejays to go on many runs that will frustrate the Tigers into submission. Take Creighton.

Rotation # 646
Texas -3.5 over Xavier
Rodney Terry has done great coaching after Chris Beard was let go. It will cost Texas at some point in the tournament. Sean Miller has done a great job with Xavier in his first season coaching the Musketeers. Xavier shoots a lot of three-pointers, but the Texas defense has been outstanding the last month, allowing less than 30% on three-point attempts. Neither team is familiar with the court they are playing on, so three-point shots might fall less. Texas has been outstanding at hitting 2pt shots close to the basket. In a game like tonight’s, it makes a big difference. The Longhorns are a physical team from a superior conference and should win their way into the elite eight. Take Texas.
