After going 3-1 based on last night’s games, LayupDrill.com focuses on tonights four pivotal Sweet 16 games, with some very interesting story lines along the way.
1. Louisville vs. Arizona
When: 7:07PM EST
Where: CBS in HD
Vegas Likes: Louisville
Intangible: Has Arizona run out of luck?
We Like: Arizona and interim head coach Russ Pennell have overachieved thus far, as it was just two weeks ago that many argued if the Wildcats should even be in the NCAA Tournament. While the Arizona Athletic Department has not given any vote of confidence that Russ Pennell would be returning next year, I think the end is here for Arizona. Louisville is too deep, and has too much talent to be knocked out here.

Watching Pitt pull out a victory against Xavier in the Sweet 16 round last night, you can see the weight of the world lift off his shoulders of head coach Jamie Dixon. Levance Fields hit two of the biggest clutch shots of the season against Xavier, keeping Pitt’s title hopes alive.
The Big East already has 3 of the final 8 teams in the NCAA Tournament, and Syracuse can make number 4 if they can slow down Blake Griffin and Oklahoma tonight. The conference will have at least 1 team in the Final Four(Pitt/Villanova winner), and most feel the champion will come from the conference as well, whether you like UConn, Louisville, Pitt, Villanova, or Syracuse. With just 12 teams left playing for the national title, who would you bet on to cut down the nets and win it all, the Big East foursome, or the rest of the field(North Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Michigan State, Gonzaga, Arizona)?
