While some may complain that the Cinderella team is not on the weekend of the NCA 2025, the funeral of the tears of the small dancer is a sweet schedule of 16 loaders with heavyweight competitions in all fields. Through the eight programs that will be played during the regional regional games and the West in East Regional Thursday evening, five of them won national championships in the past 35 years; Completely, it represents nearly a third of the NCAA Championship titles in that period.

Tonight begins with offensive fireworks from the second seed Alabama And 6 seed Byu In Newark, New Jersey, followed by the first seed Florida Classification No. 4 Maryland After handing TERPS first real Buzzer Beater to the tournament thanks to the late Star Freshman tournaments Derek Quinn.

In the first night hats, we get the first rank duke Spring against a familiar enemy in No. 4 ArizonaThe history of its program does not only hold its program against the blue demons, but some personal history also thanks to Wildcats North Carolina stateStar guard Calib love. The last game of the night features the only double number seeds from the entire Sweet 16, but it is difficult to be a real Cinderella when Arkansas I am coming from the Supreme Education Council and led by the Celebrity Hall coach in John Calibari. Razorbacks No. 10 at a large opening weekend, but it faces one of the most consistent BIG 12 programs in Classification No. 3 Technology TechnologyWhere Grant McCasand is looking to reach Elite Eight for the first time as a main coach.

But stories are not enough for university basketball fans when we reach this part of the championship. We only have a lot of the remaining games I am crazySo we may make some choices for everything we left. After destroying the spread of points and aesthetics, we chose the best bet for all the four regional semi -finals games on Thursday, along with the choices of our experts committee.

Regional East: (2) Alabama versus (6) byu

7:09 pm on CBS | March Madness Live: Byu was constantly ahead of the season. We know that the chogor is 11-1 since February 10 with the next only loss Houston In the BIG 12, but the shows were also exceeding the expectations of the Oddsmakers makers (the team is 10-2 for the spread of the same period). The size of the small sample size contains Alabama and BYU as the 8th and 9 most efficient difference in the country in March, for each Partorvik, and I read this as a game that must be decided in the final property. The x worker is here, not only on the BYU cover but the direct victory, is the performance of a 6 -foot and 9 student Igor Deimin. He was playing a great ball in this championship, and after my upcoming season The American Professional League draft The duct returned. When Demin plays at a high level, BYU makes a nightmare to match. Looking at his performance in the opening tours, I think he can carry him to Newark. Choose: Byu +5.5

Regional West: (1) Florida versus (4) Maryland

7:39 pm on TBS | March Madness Live: It is impossible to ignore the mismatch of depth here. Not only does Maryland tend to start five more than anyone else who left in the championship, but Florida has a deeper rotation than adults that may cause problems if this game decreases a narrow whistle. Gators can bear a few cheap mistakes Alex Condon Or Rueben Chinyelu because Thomas Wake and Micah Handlogten More than one able to give you good minutes of the bench. But if Derek Quinn is Julian Reese Embraced in an unpleasant problem, the bounce efforts in Maryland take great success in a way that will completely change the match. Florida has gained some real confidence in the ability to get the best punch from successive heroes to win against UconnAnd when the money was on the table, the Walter Clayton, Ali Martin and Will Richard Their group experience showed by making the winning plays. Choose: Florida -6.5

Regional East: (1) Duke against (4) Arizona

9:39 pm on CBS | March Madness Live: Every Duke game since February 14 Cooper Flage It has led to good health from 80 raw points for blue demons. The team failed to reach 80 in all the three ACC championship matches with Flagg injury early in the quarter -finals and then excluded in the following two competitions. Now we offer a team of Arizona to pay the speed and began to slide a little on the defensive side at the end of the normal season. If this game is displayed with the expectation of the Oddsmakers, there will be a lot of Arizona chasing the game late, and Duke happens to be the best free shooting team in the NCAA championship. Choose: Duke team total more than 81.5

West regional: (3) Texas Tech Vs. (10) Arkansas

10:09 pm on TBS | March Madness LiveThere are some things that the numbers will not be able to explain, such as how one can lose number 10 with 13 consecutive loss with each other. Kansas and St. John While filming 8 combined for 43 from behind the bow. This Arkansas team is ready for war, and believes in each other and find ways to win even when the shots do not fall. News Adou thero Available to play limited minutes is not important – Arkansas will need multi -use defenders against the Texas Techs crime space in Texas Texas – but the size that Red Raiders abandoned which may be the difference. This is a bet Jonas Edoand Trevon Brazil And Big Z will not let Jt Toppin Take a clear look at home, giving Arkansas an opportunity to expand the championship. Choose: Arkansas +5.5
