March Madness Picture: Top Favorites and Upsets

Illinois Fighting Illini over Iowa State Cyclones

The Fighting Illini are the top offensive team in the country. They have been red hot. Much of that has had to do with Terrence Shannon and his outburst of scoring. He was dominant in the Big Ten Tournament, and now has been through two games of the NCAA Tournament. Iowa State is a great basketball team, and winners of the Big 12 Conference Tournament.

The Cyclones are solid on defense. But, in the end, the Illini and their uptempo and ability to shoot the basketball is going to be too much. Illinois pulls an upset Thursday night, and moves to the Elite 8 to battle UConn. Take the Eastern Illinois Panthers at +2.5 over the Iowa State Cyclones.

Clemson Tigers over Arizona Wildcats

Another Atlantic Coast Conference team. The conference has shown out with four of the remaining Sweet 16 left in the big dance. The Tigers, led by head coach Brad Brownell are coming off a massive win over Baylor. Clemson is led by PJ Hall, who has gone for 14 and 11 in the NCAA Tournament games.

During the ACC tournament, he scored 21 in the game against Boston College. The Tigers are scoring 77.2 points per game, and are one of the best free throw shooting teams in College Basketball. If this game comes down to final possessions and ability to knock down free throws, the Tigers can pull a big upset here. Arizona has shown signs of vulnerability, so the Tigers are going to need to take full advantage when that time comes during the game.

NC State Wolfpack over Marquette Golden Eagles

DJ Burns and the North Carolina State Wolfpack have been absolutely on fire. They went through the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament and won five straight games. Now they have won back to back games in the big dance, and are in the Sweet 16. Marquette has wins over Western Kentucky and Purdue. The Golden Eagles were shaky at times with the basketball in the win over Colorado.

The Wolfpack are going to make sure they keep Tyler Kolek out of the lineup, and will close out on the hot shooters of the Golden Eagles. In the end, the upset can happen here. North Carolina State can move to the Elite 8, and take on the winner of Houston and Duke.
