Point Spread: Buckeyes -6 Game Total Line: 140 The No.4 seed Kentucky Wildcats will look to keep their dream of a national title alive when the face the No.1 seed Ohio State Buckeyes this upcoming Friday night in the Sweet 16 round of this year?s NCAA Men?s Tournament. This East Region semifinal from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. is set to tip at 9:45 p.m. (ET) and will be broadcast nationally on CBS. Kentucky needed to hold-off a persistent No.13 seed Princeton team in the second round to squeak-out a 59-57 win as a 12 ½-point favorite. The Wildcats looked much more at ease in a third round 71-63 victory over No.5 seed West Virginia as a 3 ½-point favorite that advanced them to Sweet 16. Part of Kentucky?s lack of consistency can be attributed to the fact it has three starters that are making their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Brandon Knight leads the team in scoring with 17.4 points a game, while Terrence Jones is second in scoring with 16.1 points and has a team-high 8.7 rebounds a game. A third freshman, Doron Lamb has also been a key contributor with 12.6 points a game. Ohio State turned in a couple of brisk workouts in its first two tournament games with a 75-46 rout of No.16 seed UT-San Antonio and a 98-66 dismantling of No.8 seed George Mason as an 11 ½-point favorite. The Buckeye?s freshman sensation Jared Sullinger has been relatively quiet in these first two games with a total of 29 points after leading the team with an average of 17.2 a game in the regular season. William Bufford led the way against the Roadrunners with 18 points and David Lighty stepped up against the Patriots with a game-high 25 points. Ohio State is just too deep for the Wildcats to keep this game close for 40 minutes. Look for Sullinger to turn in a monster game as Ohio State rolls to its third straight double-digit win in this tournament.

Point Spread: Huskies -1

Over/Under : 130

The closest matchup on tap for Thursday pits the No.2 seed San Diego State Aztecs against the No.3 seed Connecticut Huskies in the West Region semifinals of this year?s NCAA Men?s Tournament. Game time from the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. is set for 7:15 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on CBS.

San Diego State had a fairly easy time of it against No.15 seed Northern Colorado in its first game with a 68-50 win as a 14 ½-point favorite. Things got a bit dicey from there as the Aztecs needed two overtimes to knock-out No.7 seed Temple 71-64 as a 5 ½-point favorite to advance to the Sweet 16.

Billy White led the way against Temple with 16 points and a game-high 13 rebounds and sophomore forward Kawhi Leonard matched his total with 16 points of his own and added nine more rebounds in the win. Leonard leads San Diego State with 15.6 points and 10.6 rebounds a game, while Malcolm Thomas has also been a key contributor with 11.4 points and 8.1 rebounds a game.

Connecticut came into this tournament with a five game winning streak and ran it to seven with an 81-52 rout of No.14 seed Bucknell in the second round as a 10-point favorite, followed by a 69-58 win over Big East foe No.7 seed Cincinnati as a 3 ½-point favorite.

Kemba Walker recorded 18 points, eight rebounds and 12 assists in the win over the Bisons, but lit up the scoreboard against the Bearcats with a game-high 33 points including 16 down the stretch to close-out the win. Jeremy Lamb added 14 points and Alex Oriakhi pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds to support Walker?s effort.

This game will come down to the Aztecs? ability to win the battle of the boards against the 11th-best rebounding team in the country as well as try and contain Walker, who appears to be just warming up. Add in the Huskies? momentum coming into this game and it all points to a trip to the Elite Eight for Connecticut.
