S virtually in cd of a mailing before the final four it and difficult �p�lbli.t0 declare a Clear Cut favorite us a Cuit to pick a final four. Here is a look at the Sweet 16 party and a review of How the guests secured their invitations. West Loyola Mary mount 25-5 is. Alabama 26-8 univ 31-5 is. Ball state 26-6 the game that most fans would like to see is Nevada Las vegas a the original run and gunners a against Loyola Mary mount a team that has elevated fast break basketball to new Heights. For that matchup to materialize Loyola must defeat a Tough Alabama team that crushed Arizona. No team can keep up with Loyola but Alabama will do a better Job than Michigan in slowing them Down. Nevada Las vegas is beginning to hit its stride after a season of disruptions. The running rebels Are the favorite not Only against Ball state but in the Region and possibly the entire tournament. The Challenge for Ball state will be to duplicate the smothering Interior defense that forced Louisville into a perimeter shooting game. Midwest Xavier 28-4 is. Texas 23-8 North Carolina 21-12 is. Arkansas 28-4 one of the disadvantages of being a highly visible program is that More people have a greater Opportunity to scout. Xavier scouted Georgetown and realized that its weakness was its guards guards Are Xavier a strength. The musketeers pressured Georgetown a backcourt and used their 6-foot-10 players Tyrone Hill and Derek Strong to neutralize Alonzo mourning and i Kemble Mutombo Georgetown a big men. Texas like Xavier has a Strong three guard attack. The most compelling matchup is North Carolina and Arkansas. On saturday the tar heels forced run minded Oklahoma into a medium Tempo game and won on a last second shot. Arkansas which prefers to run adjusted to a slower Pace and Defeated Dayton. Arkansas is not a Strong rebounding team while North Carolina is Strong inside. But the Razorbacks who have not gotten this far since 1985, Are Strong and quicker at guard and Forward than North Carolina. East Duke 26-8 is. Urcla 22-10 Conn 30-5 is. Clemson 26-8 Duke barely survived its second round game against . Johns and actually needed a 6-Point turnaround on a technical foul to prevail. Urcla on the other hand played Tough searing half court defense against Kansas and exploited the Jay Hawks bal handling flaws. This should be the Gritty kind of game that Duke which has had intensity problems this season May be hard pressed to win unless its big men Christian laettner and Alaa Abdelnaby stay intense. Trevor Wilson Darrick Martin and Gerald Madkins come to play every game for Urcla and in great part it was their sheer tenacity that pulled the Bruins through against Kansas. Connecticut has cruised through its first two games winning on the strength of pressure defense and a solid running game. The huskies game against Clemson could severely test their offence. Southeast Minnesota 22-8 is. Syracuse 26-6 Michigan state 28-5 is. Georgia tech 26-6 Minnesota has squeezed every ounce of Talent from itself while Syracuse has turned itself on and off. On paper Syracuse with a front line of Derrick Coleman Leron Ellis and Billy Owens should have few problems with Minnesota a team that relies on outside shooting Tough defense and grit. Because Syracuse is an inconsistent outside shooting team and erratic from the foul line no team is truly out of a game against the orangemen. The compelling matchup in this bracket is Michigan state with its solid half court defense against Georgia tech with its three pronged attack led by Kenny Anderson Dennis Scott and Brian Oliver. Against leu Georgia tech proved that it could survive an inside attack while Michigan state in barely defeating Murray state proved that it knew How to win
