CBB

Wichita State-Tennessee

Orlando Sentinel

The Vols, frankly, were lucky to
win in the first round. If Winthrop
hadn’t gagged down the stretch, the Eagles would be here. It’s vital for Tennessee
that the backcourt duo of C.J. Watson and Chris
Lofton produce offensively. Wichita State
hammered Seton Hall in the first round – and Seton Hall has serviceable big
men.

Gonzaga-Indiana

Orlando Sentinel

Indiana
advanced simply because San Diego State
made more stupid mistakes in the first round than the Hoosiers. That said, Indiana can
win this game simply because Gonzaga is horrible defensively. Expect a game in
the 80s or even 90s, as Indiana
is going to have all sorts of trouble stopping Gonzaga’s
offense, too. Adam Morrison has to be salivating at the thought of going
against IU. Then again, that’s probably the same
thing IU big man Marco Killingsworth
is doing.

Boston College-Montana

CBS4Boston

The Boston College
Eagles don’t need much of a sense of history to know that they can’t take 12th-seeded
Montana lightly in Saturday’s second-round match-up in Salt Lake City, Utah.
They have to look no further in the rear-view mirror than yesterday. On at
least two occasions in overtime, 13th-seeded Pacific looked like a
sure bet to end B.C.’s season prematurely. So this year’s Eagles already know
all about how tough a double-digit seed can be.
