With Thursday in the books, what do you think is going to be your best and worst matchups on Saturday?

Best: Memphis/Michigan State


It was close between this and the VCU/Michigan matchup but Memphis plays some exciting basketball and it will be interesting to see if Izzo tries to slow the game down or if he goes along with Memphis' fast-pace game.

Worst: Oregon/Saint Louis

Another close one between this and Cal/Syracuse with how bad Cal played in the first round and how dominant Syracuse was, but I think Oregon's sloppy fast pace will play right into the hands of that defensive-minded Saint Louis team. Artis and Lloyd can get out of control and that's what Saint Louis capitalizes on

VCU/Michigan could be the worst if Burke plays like he did yesterday.

Michigan would get blown the frick out.

Colorado st/Louisville will be the best game imo. Memphis is not good.

I think Louisville is too well rounded for Colorado State. I thought Missouri was going to play better and had them upsetting Louisville but that won't happen obviously

If louisville isnt hitting shots they'll be in trouble. Colorado state is a great rebounding team and louisville is nothing special when they can't press.

I think MSU rolls here, Memphis seems like a dumb team. I do acknowledge that Memphis can hang around if guys like Adonis Thomas are making it rain from deep.

I think your analysis is spot on - Oregon is very, very aggressive and SLU can easily make them pay. I'm still intrigued and think it's a close game due to the crowd being likely tilted in Oregon's favor.

I think Memphis' athleticism will give the Spartans fits, so Izzo will just have to slow the game up. Memphis has that ability to go on a 10-0 run before you can blink and then force you to play at their speed

Wow, you're either woefully uninformed or purposefully trying to be a dipshit.

Pac 12 is the story of the tourney so far - if you knew either of these teams, this will be a great physical game. The more you know, eh? Watch some shite west of the Mississippi for once.

Harvard winning and Sourthern hanging tough say hello.

I think VCU/Michigan game has the potential to be one of the best games in the tournament.

What harry coleman said

I watched the game and they looked sloppy against an inexperienced Okie Lite team. 18 TOs for Oregon in that game, including 8 steals. You give the ball away that many times to Saint Louis and you can change the channel

Harvard and the performance of the A-10 are the stories so far.

The field seems more well rounded than normal. Lots of good games for the first weekend. Memphis/msu is a big game.
