The headliner is clearly Rory McIlroy and whenever the Irishman is in the field he has a good chance to win. Simply said, if Rory putts well, he wins. The world may have never known a better driver of the ball and with that sort of weapon at his disposal, most courses, even on the PGA Tour can be whittled down to nothing more than driver, a variety of wedges, and mid to long irons into the par 5’s.
Neither Keaton Winn nor James Paxton is expected to be at their best. Given what these offenses can do and what the wind has coming, this might be the night to go for offense.
It’s Paige Bueckers vs. JuJu Watkins, and it’s cliche to say it, but they’re the biggest difference makers. This game could come down to which star steps up the most.
Welcome back to our NCAA women’s tournament coverage here at Godzilla Wins.
In a rematch of last year’s title game, the lady LSU Tigers will take on the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Elite-8 round of action.
Will Iowa avenge last season’s loss or will the lady Tigers advance to the Final Four?
These teams just met in their conference tournament. State isn’t here at all if it loses that game to Duke, but the Blue Devils didn’t show up in that game. Will this be different?
While the Volunteers were only able to hurt Purdue with Dalton Knecht and Jordan Gainey the first time, the Boilers got contributions from the entire lineup. If both teams play a cleaner game than what happened in November, Purdue would have the edge.
The Pirates’ pitching staff has absolutely shut down the Marlins thus far in the season. The Marlins have managed just 10 runs and the team is batting a measly .206 with a .286 OBP. This is the worst offense in the major leagues through the first weekend. It’s hard to know if it’s the dominance of the Pirates’ pitching or the anemia of the Marlins lineup. Either way, something isn’t right in South Beach.
The last time N.C. State reached this level, the Wolfpack found themselves on the wrong end of a heartbreaker. This time, the Wolfpack face the anaconda that is the Texas defense.
South Carolina is still here, and the Gamecocks are still around to try to get back to the Final Four. And they’ll get to try to do it against Oregon State, which survived its own battle against a school from Indiana. The Beavers managed to survive 26 turnovers against Notre Dame, escaping with a win.
