San Diego State (5) will beat Furman (12) and cover -5. (12:10 pm)
Duke (4) will beat Tennessee (5) and cover -3.5. Watch out for Duke. The "Blue Demons" could run the table. (2:40 pm)
Kansas (1) will beat Arkansas (8) and cover -4. (5:15 pm)
The coolest matchup of the day, because of the nicknames, is the Princeton "Tigers" (15) and the Missouri "Tigers" (7). Mizzou is -6.5. No prediction is ventured. (6:10 pm)
Auburn (9)-Houston (1) -5. No prediction. (7:10 pm)
Penn State (10) will cover +5.5 vs Texas (2). The "Nittany Lions" are a sleeper in the tourney to me. Maybe tangling with a longhorn is more than they can chew but I wouldn't be surprised at an upset. (7:45 pm)
Northwestern (7)-UCLA (2) -7.5. No prediction. (8:40 pm)
Maryland (8)-Alabama(1) -8.5. No prediction. (9:40 pm)
