2008 Opening Round News and Notes For Friday

Here are news and notes for Friday’s NCAA Tournament games.

Oklahoma-St. Joseph’s

No. 6 seeds (Oklahoma) are 63-29 straight up in the first round of the Big Dance.

Memphis-Texas Arlington

Memphis is 33-1 straight up, while Texas Arlington is 21-11. The Tigers are 8-1 to teams that made the Big Dance.

Arkansas-Indiana

For those who believe in go-to guys, Indiana boosts Eric Gordon at 21.5 points per game and D.J. White at 17.1.  Arkansas leading scorer Sonny Weeks hurt his knee in practice earlier in the week, but will play. Indiana has lost 3-of-4 straight up and it only 3-3 since head coach Kelvin Sampson resigned.

San Diego-Connecticut

If you are a big believer in betting on teams that enter the postseason hot, the Toreros enter on a five-game winning streak. San Diego went 4-7 straight up to teams that made the tournament. They also won 5-of-6 road and neutral games though the Dream Team at GodsTips, the anchor of OffshoreInsiders.com warns gamblers against handicapping neutral games as road contents.

Gonzaga-Davidson

It’s a defacto home court advantage as Davidson is playing in their home state of North Carolina against a squad traveling from the state of Washington. Davidson is riding a 22-game winning streak.

Boise-Louisville

Louisville enters on a two-game losing streak and has shot just 41 percent from the field in their last three.
