Boy... when you're wrong, you're wrong.
Only one Thursday game went as picked, as Ohio State made their way past the Arizona Wildcats. Everything else wasn't just picked wrong, it was badly forecasted.
The saying is when you fall of the horse, you need to get back on it, and that's what we're doing as four more games are on the schedule for tonight. Remember, we will be airing tonight's games on 1410 CBS Sports Radio.
Midwest: (12) Oregon vs. (1) Louisville - 7:15PM (CBS)
Preview coming soon.
South: (4) Michigan vs. (1) Kansas - 7:37PM (TBS)
Preview coming soon.
Midwest: (3) Michigan State vs. (2) Duke - 9:45PM (CBS)

South: (15) Florida-Gulf Coast vs. (3) Florida - 10:07PM (TBS)

We'll recap the Thursday games when we preview the Elite 8 games tomorrow. As there will be no concurrent games, each game will air in its entirety on 1410 CBS Sports Radio.

NCAA Picks - Sweet 16 Thursday Night
Another Thursday in March means another round of March Madness, and this time March Madness comes to the North Country, airing live on 1410 CBS Sports Radio (WENU-AM) starting at 7PM both tonight and tomorrow night.
In celebration of the Sweet 16, let's pick the four games that will be coming our way tonight.
East: (3) Marquette vs. (2) Miami (FL) - 7:15PM
For the most part, these two teams put up similar stats, although Miami holds a defensive rebounding advantage. This game could come down to who cleans the glass efficiently. Miami can be a more dangerous team behind the arch, shooting 36% compared to Marquette's 30%. This could become an issue in a late game situation if Marquette finds themselves down.
Pick: Miami (FL), 74-62
West: (6) Arizona vs. (2) Ohio State - 7:47PM
This game should be a battle between a defensive team and an offensive team. Ohio State's 70.3 points per game is less than Arizona's 73.5 points per game, but where Ohio State excels is their defense. At 58.8 points per game, the defense has shut down many teams, forcing them to shoot less than 40% from the field and less than 1/3 conversion rate on the 3 pointers. Deshaun Thomas has not scored fewer than 10 points in any game this season, including a 19 point effort when Ohio State played U-Albany on November 11th. Mark Lyons will be a threat for the Wildcats, scoring 15.4 points per game this season, including his season high of 27 when the Wildcats ended the Cinderella story of Harvard last week. It should be a close match throughout.
Pick: Ohio State, 66-64.
East: (1) Indiana vs. (4) Syracuse - 9:45PM
Syracuse is another under 60 points per game defensive team, but will have to find a way slow down a hot Indiana Hoosier team that puts up nearly 80 points per game. The Hoosiers can shoot nearly 49% from the field and 40% from behind the arch. Although the Orange may have a good defense when it comes to stopping the 3, doing so may open the door for the high percentage shots. Syracuse has one of the better offensive rebound figures of the 16 teams in the tournament, but ultimately it will come down to stopping Indiana's key scorers, Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller and Christian Watford. C.J. Fair will be put to work in this game for the Orange.
Pick: Indiana, 76-61.
West: (9) Wichita State vs. (13) LaSalle - 10:17PM
The Cinderella run of LaSalle now brings them to Los Angeles where they will have to face Wichita State. LaSalle is a team that can hit well from the field, but doesn't defend too well within the arch, allowing about the same percentage as they shoot themselves. This will become an issue if Wichita State gets hot, shooting 44% from the field. Rebounding could become an issue, as well, with Wichita State outrebounding LaSalle by a wide margin. Ramon Galloway is a strong player on the court for the Explorers, scoring 17.4 points per game, and has three other weapons he can distribute the ball to for an even scoring attack. Cleanthony Early also needs to be watched for the Shockers, scoring 13.9 points per game in only 24.5 minutes per game.
Pick: LaSalle, 71-70.

Lake George Fight Hard, but can't pull past Syracuse.
Syracuse came out with an early lead, getting two goals in the opening 5 minutes. Lake George finally got one of them back when Henrik Linden fired a shot that crossed the goal line just as the horn sounded to end the 1st Period.
The Fighting Spirit would tie the game in the 2nd period when Linden scored his second goal of the game, capitalizing on the power play. But 1 minute later, following a Lake George penalty, Brandyn Morgan made quick work on their power play, scoring 30 seconds in to retake the lead.
In the 3rd period, a dangerous turnover turned deadly as Alex Foster was able to net one past Nate DelGiudice for the 4-2 lead. The Fighting Spirit showed some signs of desperation, but calmed down when Blake Tarbell scored an unassisted goal off a Syracuse turnover to put them within one. Then with over 6 minutes left in the game, Mike Gough forced a faceoff in the Syracuse zone, and after Tyler Simmons won the faceoff, Mike Gough buried the shot that would tie the game at 4.
But with 4:41 left to go, Viktor Lundgren gave the Syracuse Stampede the lead for good, and despite some good chances with the empty net, the Fighting Spirit were unable to equal the game one final time.
Both teams will get to represent the Northern States Junior A Hockey League in the nationals in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the Fighting Spirit gained a berth from their regular season title, and the Stampede gained a berth from their tournament win.

NCAA Tournament: U-Albany gets 15-seed, Face Duke Blue Devils.
The University of Albany Great Danes will be dancing for their third time in school history after winning the Automatic Bid courtesy of its America East title. In the brackets just released this evening, the Great Danes are seeded #15 in the Midwest Region.
They will face the #2-seeded Duke Blue Devils this Friday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Tip is scheduled for 12:15pm, and will air on CBS (Locally, WRGB Channel 6).
For the Great Danes, it will be the first time since making it to the tournament in 2007, where they drew Virginia and was outscored 45-25 in the first half before losing 84-57. This was one year after the first appearance of the Great Danes in the Big Dance, where they drew #1 seeded Connecticut, and for 33 minutes threatened to become the first team to ever knock off a #1 seed as a #16 seed.

2013 Football Schedules
So the 2013 Section II Schedule has been released and there are a few things to note. First, Scotia drops from Class A to B. They will play in Class B West along with Hudson Falls and Glens Falls, creating a full 8 team division where all 8 teams will play each other once with no crossover games. In Class D, a new program has developed, in Schoburg, which we mentioned in yesterday's blog entry is a blend of both Schoharie and Duanesburg High School atheles. They will play in Class D South, and to make things even, Greenwich will play in Class D North. Greenwich will preserve their local rivalry with the Cambridge Indians through a divisonal crossover game in Week 1.
For your reading pleasure, here's our thoughts for the most interesting matches to look forward to in the 2013 season, based on last season's results. Individual team-by-team schedules to follow after.
Most Interesting Matches:
These are the games we're looking forward to seeing in the 2013 season. These are not necessarily the games we will be broadcasting in the 2013 season; that schedule will be posted at a later date.
Week 1:
Schalmont at Glens Falls: We get the season off with a bang, featuring a rematch between two Class B teams that met in the Super Bowl at Shenendehowa last year. Schalmont will still have Devon Willis, who will return as a senior. However, the Indians will have to restock and rebuild after all the seniors from their Carrier Dome team have graduated. This will be a key game to see whether or not the Indians will have any trouble continuing their long-lasting streak of making Sectionals.
Scotia at Broadalbin-Perth: The Scotia Tartans dropped from Class A to B, and have to face last year's #3 seed Broadalbin-Perth to kick off their season. It will be a good test to see how they match up with the rest of Class B West.
Greenwich at Cambridge: Last year's edition of this Washington County rivalry required overtime before Cambridge walked off the field as winners. This year's edition comes early in the season as these two teams now find themselves in opposite divisions in Class D, brought about by last year's result where Greenwich was left out of the playoffs despite a better record than those in Class D North and by new addition Schoburg to the Southern Division.
Week 2:
Glens Falls at Schuylerville: The rematch of the semifinal round of sectionals last year, this time down the Hudson in Schuylerville. In the regular season match, the Indians took command of the game late thanks to a couple of Schuylerville turnovers. In the post-season match, the Black Horses and the Indians played a close game for the first half, but the Indians took control in the 3rd Quarter off the first possession and never looked back on their way to victory.
Scotia at Schalmont: These two schools are separated by 7 driving miles, but have not faced each quite some time, if at all. It should be interesting to see how these two treat each other. Week 1's games against Broadalbin-Perth and Glens Falls will tell the tale on how close we should watch this game.
Week 3:
Troy at Amsterdam: Troy's season last year was brought to an end by the Rugged Rams of Amsterdam. And this rematch could have come at a better time in the season, as the Flying Horses have to endure games against Queensbury and Burnt Hills in the first two weeks.
Salem at Warrensburg: Last year, the Salem Generals had a 13-6 lead with less than a minute left in the game. But the Burghers would not go quietly. They marched up the field and pushed it past the goal line with 30 seconds left. The two-point conversion was good, and that gave the Burghers the 14-13 win. This year's edition should be just as good.
Week 4:
Burnt Hills at Queensbury: The Queensbury Spartans met with the Burnt Hills Spartans last in the semifinals of the Class A Sectionals in a game where Queensbury played well against the other Spartans for awhile, but eventually would fall to the would-be state champions. This will be the start of three real big tests for the Queensbury Spartans, as they face Amsterdam and Class AA's Columbia afterwards.
Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk at Albany Academy: Last year at this juncture, Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk and Albany Academy both entered the game undefeated. Ravena's win kept them battling for the top spot in the Reinfurt, which later would be given to Lansingburgh in Week 6. Albany Academy would go on to be the #3 seed and would go on to be shut out by the Glens Falls Indians in the Quarterfinals.
Lake George at Whitehall: It was a Friday night in October when the Whitehall Railroaders scored the first three touchdowns, and it was looking like it was going to be a rout. However, the Lake George Warriors would fight back, taking the lead in the 3rd Quarter in one of the loudest crowds we have heard all regular season last season.
Week 5:
Queensbury at Amsterdam: Last year's match between the Queensbury Spartans and the Amsterdam Rugged Rams quickly turned into a classic, coming right down to the closing minutes before Amsterdam walked away the 34-26 winners. This year's, conveniently located in the middle of the schedule, could have serious playoff seeding implications.
Fonda at Chatham: Chatham was the source of Fonda's only Class D South loss last year, when they were shut out 34-0. Both teams would make it to the playoffs, where they would both find their run brought to an end by defending champs Hoosick Falls. This game could go a long way towards deciding who takes Class C South's #1 seed.
Week 6:
Schenectady at Shaker: Last year, Schenectady's playoff run came to an end as their starting QB ran for the end zone and was brought out of bounds as the clock expired. The officials ruled he did not cross the pylon for the touchdown, however, replays on the Time Warner Cable Sports broadcast showed contact between the QB and the pylon. This allowed Shaker to move onto the championship game, where they would beat Shenendehowa before losing to New Rochelle in the final minute of the State Semifinals at Dietz Stadium. With that being said, this game should be very interesting.
Amsterdam at Burnt Hills: A rematch of the 2012 Class A Super Bowl. This late in the season, the #1 seed in the Northwest could be up for grabs for the winner to claim.
Glens Falls at Hudson Falls: The Jug Game. Nothing more to say.
Cambridge at Rensselaer: Cambridge claimed the #1 seed in the final week of the season when they defeated the Rams in what was supposed to be a preview of the Class D Super Bowl, but the Indians failed to make it past the Salem Generals the following week. With a 3-round playoff structure this year opposed to the 2-round (4 team) structure last year, this game may not mean as much for the two teams, but should still be a good game to watch.
Week 7:
Colonie at Shaker: What the Jug Game means for Hudson Falls/Glens Falls is the same as what the Colonie Cup means for Colonie/Shaker.
Albany Academy at Lansingburgh: Last year turned into a shootout that saw the two teams combine for 103 points, decided by only 3. If both teams still play the same way, this should be a fun and high-scoring game to watch. And perhaps top seeds for the Reinfurt could still be up for grabs.
