Georgia basketball coach Mark Fox offered his picks to win the Sweet 16 games Thursday and Friday in the NCAA tournament:
Kentucky will beat Indiana. The 'Cats are a whole lot better now than they were in December (When the Hoosiers defeated Kentucky).
Syracuse will beat Wisconsin. It will be a heck of a game, but I'll stick with Syracuse in a close one. The interesting part is Wisconsin has five guys who can make the 3-pointer, and Syracuse has that zone. Syracuse is more complete. The overall athleticism of Syracuse will win out.
Michigan State will beat Louisville. I think Michigan State is just a little more of a physical team.
Xavier will beat Baylor. [Xavier coach] Chris Mack is a friend of mind. Xavier's guards are better than Baylor's guards.
Ohio State will beat Cincinnati. Ohio State, I think that they are better offensively than Cincinnati. Ohio State is good at both ends. They are more complete.
N.C. State will beat Kansas. I've got a degree from Kansas, and I'm picking against them. N.C. State has momentum.
North Carolina will beat Ohio. I'm taking the Tar Heels in that, even without [Kendall] Marshall. Carolina still has three lottery picks around the rim. That's going to be hard for Ohio to overcome.
Florida will beat Marquette. Taking the Gators over Marquette. Florida has more guys that can score.
