Minneapolis and Washington Regionals

First up is the UCONN vs George Mason game at 2:00. George Mason has shown that they belong and will have home court advantage. Normally this is the type of game where you can count on UCONN to come out firing to silence the crowd, however, this is not your typical UCONN team. I fully expect George Mason to lead by 10 early in the game. The question is whether UCONN can recover, I say, they will recover and make it a close game again. UCONNs heart appears to bigger than other teams, so look for a 2 point win courtesy of last minute heroics.

The second game between Florida and Villanova will be interesting because of several other factors:

First let’s assume that UCONN wins the first game of the day. If this is true these two teams will be trying to determine which conference will have two representatives in the final 4.

A UCONN loss will mean that Villanova will be the last Big East team, so a loss by Nova would mean no Big East representation in the final 4.

I expect the guard oriented Villanova team to win this game today, but I expect it to be ugly, ugly and ugly win.
