2009 NCAA Tournament\u00a0<\/strong>Sweet 16<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Action<\/strong>
\nThursday March 26, 10:07 PM ET
\nBoston, MA TD Banknorth Garden – East Region<\/p>\n

Villanova beat down a fairly decent UCLA team in the 2nd round after struggling vs. American in the opening round. They are 5-2 in the last 7 vs. ACC opponents. They are also 8-3 following an ATS win.The under is 7-1-1 in the last 9 as an underdog and 8-2 in the last 10 against non-conference opponents. Lacking quality big men, the Wildcats are primarily guard dominated.<\/p>\n

Duke squeaked by Texas after dismantling an outmatched Binghamton team.\u00a0 <\/span>Their ATS record vs. Big East teams is 2-8-1 in the last 11. They are a meager 2-10 ATS in the last 12 in the NCAA Tournament.\u00a0 <\/span>The under is 8-1 in the last 9 as a favorite.\u00a0 <\/span>The Blue Devils also lack quality big men and rely heavily on guard play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This might be the most anticipated matchup of the round.\u00a0 <\/span>Guard play will be dominant.\u00a0 <\/span>And the team that takes care of the ball better will win SU and ATS.\u00a0 <\/span>Either way, both teams play good defense and scoring will be at a premium.<\/p>\n
