Two More NCAA Basketball Tournament Predictions

What follows are two predictions in tonight’s NCAA Basketball Tournament regional semi-final games. Each game is in the South Region with the two winning teams meeting Saturday for a berth in the national semi-finals/final four.

In the earlier game, Villanova is a 4 plus point favorite vs Miami of Florida.

Prediction: Villanova 57 Miami of Florida 54

Later powerful Kansas is a 6 plus point favorite vs Maryland.

I think I am forcing this one in, but I predict Maryland will keep the game close “enough.”

Kansas 76 Maryland 71.
