1988 (Kansas, Oklahoma, Duke, Arizona): Danny Manning and the No. 6 Jayhawks dumped No. 2 Duke before facing Big 8 rival and top-seeded Oklahoma.

1992 (Duke, Michigan, Indiana, Cincinnati): Michigan’s Fab Five captured the nation’s attention, but Christian Laettner and Duke would not be denied.

2003 (Syracuse, Kansas, Texas, Marquette): Future NBA stars included Syracuse’s Carmelo Anthony and Marquette’s Dwyane Wade.

2006 (Florida, UCLA, LSU, George Mason): None of the No. 1 seeds reached the Final Four, but No. 11 George Mason did.

2008 (Kansas, Memphis, UCLA, North Carolina): All the No. 1 seeds made it to the Final Four for the first time.

This year’s Final Four features two No. 1 seeds facing a pair of relative upstarts – although it’s hardly stunning to see No. 2 Michigan State and No. 3 Villanova making it all the way to Detroit’s Ford Field. They’ve combined to go 30-6 SU and 24-12 ATS since Jan. 25. Your bracket should be in good shape if you have the Spartans or Wildcats as a contrarian pick to win the title.

That being said, we’re not going out on a limb in predicting that the North Carolina Tar Heels (-7.5 against Villanova) and the Connecticut Huskies (-4 against Michigan State) will move on to the championship game. For the best in March Madness betting head over to the Bodog Sportsbook.

On Thursday night J.T. Tiller put up 23 points and essentially ended Memphis' rally late in the game to lead Missouri past the Tigers by a score of 102-91. For their efforts, Missouri is now headed to the Elite Eight on Saturday where they'll meet up with top-seeded Connecticut.

“We came out and kind of took the fight to Memphis early on, and before you know it, our guys had a little confidence,” Missouri coach Mike Anderson said.

Uh huh. So what did a beat up Memphis team have to say for itself?

“We kind of got punched in the mouth right from the beginning of the game,” Memphis coach John Calipari said. “They broke us down defensively like we break people down. They beat us at our own game.”

Enough said.

Villanova 77, Duke 54

Okay, this one I had. The Wildcats set the game's tempo right from the start and tore into the Blue Devils like a ravenous tiger that hasn't eaten in weeks. And for dessert? How about a nice slice of Pittsburgh Panthers pie?

"I'm disappointed that this is our last game of the year. It's not the way we would like to have gone out," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "I'm still very proud of our team overall, and especially of our seniors and everything they've meant to this program. These kids have been in four straight NCAA tournaments, three Final Fours, three PAC-10 championships. So it's really tough to be saying goodbye to them today from their careers at UCLA."

But I digress. Here is your Sunday lineup of NCAA Tournament Second Round action:

#3 Syracuse vs. South #6 Arizona State
Currently in progress, this meeting of the basketball minds features a team that could go all the way. In fact, I'm thinking that if your bracket has a lot of Orange in it…your bets could pay off big. Oddsmakers had Syracuse as the 2-point favorites but that gap could be bigger than expected.

#4 Xavier vs. East #12 Wisconsin
Oddsmakers currently have the Musketeers listed as 3½-point favorites versus the Badgers, while the game's total is sitting at 122.

#3 Kansas vs. Midwest #11 Dayton
Oddsmakers currently have the Jayhawks listed as 8-point favorites versus the Flyers, while the game's total is sitting at 134.

#13 Cleveland State vs. Midwest #12 Arizona
Oddsmakers currently have the Wildcats listed as 3-point favorites versus the Vikings, while the game's total is sitting at 135.

#1 Pittsburgh vs. East #8 Oklahoma State
Oddsmakers currently have the Panthers listed as 9½-point favorites versus the Cowboys, while the game's total is sitting at 150.

#3 Missouri vs. West #6 Marquette
Oddsmakers currently have the Tigers listed as 4-point favorites versus the Golden Eagles, while the game's total is sitting at 149.

#2 Michigan State vs. Midwest #10 USC
Oddsmakers currently have the Spartans listed as 4½-point favorites versus the Trojans, while the game's total is sitting at 130.

#1 Louisville vs. Midwest #9 Siena
Oddsmakers currently have the Cardinals listed as 12-point favorites versus the Saints, while the game's total is sitting at 144.

No. 3 Villanova vs. No. 6 UCLA
Dante Cunningham will undoubtedly lead the way for Villanova's offense, but UCLA's defense should be ready to step it up a notch and their offense has been hitting some impressively solid three-pointers. Still, oddsmakers like Villanova in this one.

No. 2 Duke vs. No. 7 Texas
Oddsmakers currently have the Blue Devils listed as 7½-point favorites versus the Longhorns, while the game's total is sitting at 140. A.J. Abrams led Texas with 26 points as they defeated Minnesota 76-62 in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Thursday. Duke, on the other hand, built up an early lead as they ran over Binghamton 86-62 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. They covered the 22-point spread, but the combined score made it OVER the posted total of 137.

No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 8 LSU
Oddsmakers currently have the Tar Heels listed as 12½-point favorites versus the Tigers, while the game's total is sitting at 159.

No. 2 Oklahoma vs. No. 10 Michigan
Oddsmakers currently have the Sooners listed as 7-point favorites versus the Wolverines, while the game's total is sitting at 135.

No. 4 Gonzaga vs. No. 12 Western Kentucky
Western Kentucky produced a first-round NCAA upset by beating Illinois 76-72 last time out, as 5-point underdogs. That game's combined score made it OVER the posted total of 123.5. Meanwhile, Gonzaga trailed by three points at the half, but roared back to defeat Akron 77-64 in their first round matchup of the NCAA tournament on Thursday night. They failed to cover the 14-point spread, but the 141 points made it OVER the night's posted total of 134.

No. 2 Memphis vs. No. 10 Maryland
Oddsmakers currently have the Tigers listed as 10-point favorites versus the Terrapins, while the game's total is sitting at 132. Look for the big men on Memphis to make amends for their first round scare.

No. 1 Connecticut vs. No. 9 Texas A&M
Oddsmakers currently have the Huskies listed as 10-point favorites versus the Aggies, while the game's total is sitting at 137. Right now Texas lacks depth up front, but if Josh Carter and B.J. Holmes can nail those threes, this will be a closer game than most are predicting.

No. 4 Washington vs. No. 5 Purdue
Oddsmakers currently have the Huskies listed as 2-point favorites versus the Boilermakers, while the game's total is sitting at 140. This one should be an intense matchup, with both teams eager to control the tempo of the game. Some might say that the Huskies lack depth up front…and that could prove to be their downfall against the Boilermakers this afternoon.

Although Pitt has made four Sweet 16 appearances in the past seven seasons, the Panthers haven’t gone beyond that round since 1974. As the No. 1 seed in the East Region, this marks Pitt’s best chance to get to the Final Four during the program’s recent renaissance.

The Panthers have to be considered one of the favorites to win it all (+500). They have three experienced players in DeJuan Blair, Levance Fields, and Sam Young, and any one of them can carry the team. Check out the Bodog Sportsbook for all your March Madness betting.

The Arizona Wildcats are in big danger of falling off the Tournament bubble after falling 68-56 to the Arizona State Sun Devils. ASU was favored by 4.5 points at home, so the loss is no surprise, but Arizona still needed a strong performance in the Pac-10 tournament. Same goes for Wooden Award finalist Stephen Curry and the Davidson Wildcats, who were upset 59-52 by the College of Charleston (+9.5) in the second round of the Southern tourney.

And what will the Committee do about the Mountain West? The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels have lost three times this year to the San Diego State Aztecs, including 71-57 on Thursday as 3.5-point home faves. It’s one or the other. Bet on NCAA basketball with Bodog before March Madness passes you by!
