NCAA Tournament: #3 New Mexico vs. #11 Washington
by Jeremy Mauss on Mar 19, 2010 8:56 PM PDT
in Basketball
5 comments
Washington only made it to the tournament by winning the Pac-10 tournament and then upset Marquette in round one by two points. New Mexico was not immune as they played a closer then expected game against Montana. On the surface New Mexico should run away with this game since Washington is an eleven seed and the Pac-10 was down this year. However, 25 wins is nothing to sneeze at which is what the Huskies accomplished this year, plus the Lobos tend to play to the level of the competition -- good or bad.
The difference could be that Washington was not good away from home as they went only 6-6, where as New Mexico went 11-2. Also, New Mexico has been tested more and is 5-0 against top 25 teams while Washington went 1-1.

NCAA Tournament: #2 Kansas State vs. #7 BYU

The Cougars are looking to upsetting Kansas State in an effort to make it to the Sweet 16 which will be in Salt Lake City a mere 45 minute drive from their Provo campus. If BYU wins this will be only their second time in school history to make it to the Sweet 16 with the last time being in the 1980-81 season with Danny Ainge.
Kansas State is the opponent who took care of 15 seeded North Texas by 20 points. The Cats are currently ranked 7th in the country and is 27-7 on the year with three of those loses coming to top seed Kansas. Kansas State is a well balanced team that shoots a good percentage, scores a lot of points, and as Vanquish The Foe puts it K-State rebounds quite well. The difference in this game will come down to if BYU can out rebound Kansas State and hold them under 45% shooting from the field.
In all of seven Kansas State's losses they were out rebounded and also shot less then 45 percent from the field. So, it is quite simply if BYU can duplicate those numbers then they will beat Kansas State and be in Salt Lake.
Right?
Well not so fast.
