The South Region is here as the upstart UCLA Bruins led by the coach's son Bryce Alford and the one-time disappearing act of five-star recruit Tony Parker of Georgia. They will meet Kevin Pangos outside and Kyle Wiltjer inside with Zags Nation ready to move onto the Elite 8.

In the 2nd game the Duke Blue Devils with three of their top 5 players not even 365 days removed from senior prom doing work. On top of that one of those Freshman will be a year removed from HS Graduation hitting the NBA Draft Green Room as the #1 overall pick. The 'Utes have Delon Wright and former NBA Player Larry Krystowiak manning the ship. Do the Runnin' Utes have enough firepower to even stay with the Blue Devils?

PLAYBOOK

From the NRG Stadium in H-Town

Game 1 at 7:15pm ET

#11 #Bruins UCLA (22-13) 
vs #2 #ZagsNation GONZAGA (34-2)

The Bruins will need a 3rd wheel taking on the Bulldogs of Gonzaga. The aforementioned Bryce Alford and Tony Parker is a nice 1-2 punch but the Zags are too balanced for the Bruins to beat them with two players going off.

On the flip side who guards Kevin Pangos and Kyle Wiltjer as the Bruin need to slow down the Zags 1-2 punch? The Bruins might have an edge in transition and the X-Factor in the game is true freshman and projected 2015 NBA Lottery Pick Kevon Looney of UCLA from Milwaukee, Wisconsin...remember him!

Game 2 at 9:45 pm ET

#5 RunninUtes UTAH (26-8) 
vs #1 #BlueDevils Duke (31-4)

Can the Utes slow down Duke's trio of freshman in "Big Jah" Okafor, Tyus Jones, and Justice Winslow who will be playing in front of the home folks? Can Duke stop the versatile Delon Wright as he needs all hands on deck to stay close to the Dukies. Transition Defense and the Money Ball will be a huge factor as Utah might have to speed up their game in spots but no shirts and skins or they will get blown out!
