At the tipoff of these games, eight of the Sweet 16 teams will be determined. Let's fill out the rest of the field…and grab a play from each tilt.
10-Colorado (+140) vs. 2-Marquette (-166)
Spread: Golden Eagles -3.5 | O/U: 147.5
It took 20 minutes, but in the season opener against Western Kentucky, Tyler Kolek and his team decided to win in the second half. Colorado is playing its best ball of the season, but Marquette is very well coached and very in sync as a team. Win Shaka Smart's Golden Eagles and rack up points.

8- Utah State (+425) vs. 1- Purdue (-575)
Spread: Boilermaker -10.5 | O/U: 148.5
Doubtful Grambling won't soon forget the name of Zach Eady (30 points, 21 revs). Dominant to say the least. The Aggies will definitely be a tougher opponent. They scored 88 points against TCU on Friday. Utah State spreads out the scoring and has a bench. This game tests the maturity and growth of a Boilermaker not named Edie. Purdue is expected to win, but will not be covered.
12-James Madison (+235) vs. 4-Duke (-290)
Spread: Blue Devils -6.5 | O/U: 148.5
The Dukes are on a two-game winning streak of 14 games or more this season. That's an outrageous statistic. The Blue Devils advanced despite getting just three points from Kyle Filipowski. Expect more from him on Sunday. Let's hope Duke makes some free throws late in the game to make up for that number.
6-Clemson (+164) vs. 3-Baylor (-198)
Spread: Bear -4.5 | O/U: 145
The Tigers quietly stomped on a Lobos team that many were picking to win several games in the tournament. Baylor made quick work of Colgate. Clemson's player market hasn't been announced yet, but keep an eye on Ian Schieffelin's rebound totals. He has reached double digits in three of his last five games, scoring at least six in each game. If that number is less than 8.5 he will play OVER.
12-Grand Canyon (+205) vs. 4-Alabama (-250)
Spread: Crimson Tide -6 | O/U: 168.5
If you're a fan of track and field, pull up a chair. Despite St. Mary's best efforts to control the tempo, Grand Canyon scored 75 points and the Tide rolled to 109 points in the opener against Charleston. The total is ridiculous, but let's have fun and sweat and aim for a total of 168.5 points or more.
9-Northwestern (+700) vs. 1-UCONN (-1100)
Spread: Husky -14 | O/U: 136
Donovan Clingan (19) points, Cam Spencer (15) points and Tristen Newton (8) assists led the OVER. Let's bring it back because their market is in the exact same position it was in Friday's opening round. Cam Spencer has over 13.5 points (-120), Donovan Clingan has over 12.5 points (-110), and Tristen Newton has over 5.5 assists (+110).

9-Texas A&M (+360) vs. 1-Houston (-470)
Spread: Cougar -9.5 | O/U: 132.5
Houston got off to a fast start against Longwood. The Cougars’ intensity on both ends was impressive. For those unfamiliar with the Cougars, that effort is a constant in their game. Look for the Cougars to get off to a strong start Sunday as well. He scores over 33.5 points (-115) against the Cougars in 1cent half.
13-Yale (+180) vs. 5-San Diego State (-218)
Spread: Aztec -5 | O/U: 128.5
Yale defeated Auburn on Friday without Danny Wolfe's big night. The 7-foot sophomore scored 13 points but was just 4-15 from the field, hitting just five free throws. Wolf is gearing up, so expect him to have a bigger game. He outscored Danny Wolf by 13.5 points (-105).
