Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (20-11) vs. UNLV Runnin’ Rebels (28-6), 12:25 p.m. ET, Line GT -1 ½ (141 total). The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels have not received much respect since the  Jerry “Tark the Shark” Tarkanian era ended in the 90’s but current coach Lon Kruger has found the right ingredient and has the school back in the Big Dance for the first time in 16 years. The Runnin’Rebels, a veteran team led by Kruger’s son Kevin along with fellow seniors guard Wendell White and post man Joel Anthony, could slap the Yellow Jackets nest. Georgia Tech of the powerful ACC is a very young team as evidenced in starting freshman Javaris Crittenton and forward Thaddeus Young, both guards averaging over 14 points per game. This game is almost a dead even match up between two schools who like to get up and down the court. Point-Spreads.com pick: OVER 141.

On Thursday the NCAA Tournament South Region was dominated by the favorites with the only lower seed winning was No 9 Xavier topping eight-seed BYU by a bucket 79-77. The win by the Musketeers can hardly be considered an upset since the Atlantic-10 co-champion was favored to win the game by oddsmakers by a -2.0 chalk. The 3 p.m. match up between seventh-seed Nevada and No. 10 Creighton appears to be the better Friday game in the region. Memphis, Tennessee and Virginia will probably be safe. Of course this is the Big Dance and anything can happen. 

Virginia Cavaliers (20-10) vs. Albany Great Danes (23-9), 12:15 p.m. ET, Line UVA -8 ½ (135) . The Great Danes, who came close to the biggest upset in NCAA Tournament history against UCONN last year, will not sneak up on the Cavaliers. The ACC regular season co-champs have plenty of weapons in store for Albany including an experienced back court in junior Sean Singletary and senior J.R. Reynolds. Albany counters with shooting guard Jamar Wilson (18.5 p.p.g.) and a stingy defense. Albany has little chance of pulling an upset but if they hit on all cylinders could give UVA a scare. Point-Spreads.com pick: UVA -8.
