Interesting Matchups Coming Up On Thursday

After last nights action the Sweet 16 is all set. This round of the tournament includes obiously 16 teams and 8 games. The winners of the games on Thurday March 22 and Friday March 23 will move on and play in the championship for their quadrant of the bracket. There have been a few set backs for different teams which will open doors for other clubs. Here are some of the intreging matchups in the Sweet 16.

1. Michigan State vs.  4. Louisville
So far in the tournament Michigan State has not been extremely challenged by anyone unless you consider their game against St. Louis a challenge. This Louisville team could give Sparty some touble with Peyton Siva at the point guard and Kyle Kuric in the post. Although I believe this will be a real test for Michigan State I feel that Draymond Green is just to good and Michigan State will advance to the Elite Eight.

1. Syracuse vs  4. Wisconsin
This could be the game where not having Fab Melo in the lineup might hurt Syracuse at the end of the game. Wisconsin is a good defensive team and can shoot the ball with Jordan Taylor in the back court. Wisconsin has a legitimate chance of taking down the Orange Men and it should be an exciting game to watch.

2. Ohio State vs.  6. Cincinnati
After winning a nail bitter against Florida State, Cincinnati has to go up against one of the top teams in the nation in Ohio State. Ohio State is an all around basketball team with Aaron Craft and William Buford at the guards and Deshaun Thomas and the unstopable Jared Sullinger in the post it might be a rough day for the Bearcats. Cinci is going to need Yancy Gates and Sean Kilpatrick to step up if they are going to have a chance of moving to the Elite Eight.
