MARCH MADNESS SWEET 16 Breakdown....WEST Region...IZZONE meets PITINO early...BUZZ from BEER TOWN USA vs BILLY D Ball via the SWAMP

All 4 teams in this Region are Heavyweights and it will take monumental efforts for all of those involved to advance in this one. The Michigan State SPARTANS have been rolling behind their ALL-AMERICAN Draymond GREEN aka the LAWNMOWER MAN for all your landscaping needs. The Louisville CARDINALS have a balanced attack led by the enigmatic Peyton SIVA of Seattle WA GARFIELD HS Fame.

In the 2nd Tilt throw the scoreboard out and it is on and poppin' as Going SMALL goes against Going SMALLER. Buzz WILLIAMS takes his Marquette Squad against a really good Guard oriented GATOR Attack led by Freshman Bradley BEAL of the GATEWAY Arch. The winner of this region will take on the winner of the toughest region in the dance the SOUTH Region.

#1 MICHIGAN STATE

SF/PF Draymond GREEN
PG/SG Keith APPLING
PG/SG Brandon WOOD
SF Branden DAWSON
C Derrick NIX

the SKINNY: From a BASKETBALL Purest standpoint where the BLUEDUDE is at this is a DREAM Match Up to see. Two of the BEST in the BIZ......IZZO and PITINO..strategy for strategy and who will break under the immense pressure first. IZZO squad is under the careful watch of Draymond GREEN so who is that DUDE for the CARDS of the 'VILLE....that is the Are you going to the ELITE 8 Question of the DAY.

SPARTY wants to pick their spots and they are real physical and the 'VILLE wants to press after every made and turn you over ASAP..something has to give and GREEN in the middle of that press breaker might be the answer. The CARDS will look to their Press and some hopefully timely shooting to beat SPARTY and MR. SIVA ohhhh does the CARD faithful need to see the GARFIELD HS SIVA ASAP.

WINNER: SPARTY..I think they have too much size and they have the best player in the TOURNEY outside of Kentucky's Anthony Davis in the LAWNMOWER MAN....SPARTY's Draymond GREEN.

#3 MARQUETTE

SG/PG Darius JOHNSON-ODOM
SF/PF/SG Jae CROWDER
PF Devante GARDNER
PG/SG Vander BLUE
PG Junior CADOUGAN

the SKINNY: If you like the 6'5" and under type that can play multiple positions and GET BUCKETS.....this is your STOP. The CLAN from the BRADLEY Center in MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN will stop at nothing and take on their Head Coach BUZZZ Williams persona....CAN'T STOP..WON'T STOP...BUZZ...or Bad Boy DIDDY.

On the other foot BILLY D has some GYM RATS who can fill it up from DEEP and forget guarding the ARC you had better pick up these jokers from the TIMELINE. BILLY D wants to push the tempo and also they can play Half Court as well with 2 guys capable in YOUNG and MURPHY.

WINNER: The GOLDEN EAGLES...too much JOHNSON-ODOM and CROWDER..the Best Player in the LAND you know nothing about and he was 2012 BIG EAST Player of the YEAR....how 'bout them JONATHAN's.

WEST REGIONAL Final....#1 SPARTY vs #3 MARQUETTE
MAGIC and Doc RIVERS would be proud of this one two very different styles and and very different players. IZZO and SPARTY would WIN this one but it is darn close and remember these 2 teams have to get there first.
