10 Stanford vs 11 Dayton -- Thursday - 7:15 PM ET
Both teams are coming off big upsets, with Stanford taking down Kansas and Dayton defeating Syracuse. It should be a pretty close game throughout. Dayton likes to spread the scoring around and is led by former-Ohio State Buckeye, Jordan Sibert. Stanford has great length among their bigs and is led by junior guard, Chasson Randle, who brings an 18.7 PPG average into tonight's contest.
PICK: Stanford wins 66-61
2 Wisconsin vs 6 Baylor -- Thursday - 7:47 PM ET
Baylor comes off a highly impressive recent run of play. Having made it to the finals of the Big 12 Tournament and a complete dismantling of 3-seed Creighton, Baylor looks to be clicking on all cylinders. On the other side, Wisconsin made an amazing comeback to beat Oregon in the round of 32 after falling behind a double digit deficit in the first half. Both teams like to shoot it from deep and it should be an entertaining game.
PICK: Wisconsin wins 74-66
1 Florida vs 4 UCLA -- Thursday - 9:45 PM ET
Florida has been as-advertised so far in this tournament. The number 1 overall seed has showed no signs of a let down, taking down Albany and Pittsburgh with ease. They are led by a group of seniors, which includes Scottie Wilbekin. UCLA also seems to be meshing at the right time. Behind Kyle Anderson and Jordan Adams, the Bruins have looked strong taking down Tulsa and Stephen F. Austin.
PICK: Florida wins 68-63
1 Arizona vs 4 San Diego State -- 10:17 PM ET
Arizona looks to be one of the top candidates to cut down the nets in Arlington. In a well-balanced attack, Arizona destroyed a solid Gonzaga team by 23 points in the round of 32. Despite facing an easier foe in the round of 32 (North Dakota State), San Diego State was still focused on the problem at hand. Xavier Thames led the charge and San Diego State came out on top 63-44.
PICK: Arizona wins 77-64
