3 Purdue vs. 11 Virginia Commonwealth, 7:10 PM ET, TBS
The VCU Rams stunned Georgetown for their second opening round victory since 1985. But Purdue stands in the way of the first Sweet Sixteen appearance in school history.
Starting Lineups
Purdue: JaJuan Johnson F-C, DJ Byrd G-F, E'twaun Moore G, Lewis Jackson G, Ryne Smith G
VCU: DJ Haley C, Jamie Skeen F, Ed Nixon G, Joey Rodriquez G, Bradford Burgess G
Player to Watch: Joey Rodriquez, G, VCU
Rodriquez shot only 33 percent (3/9) from the field against Georgetown, but still led the team with 17 points. He needs to step up big time if the Rams hope to continue their tournament run.
In my bracket: VCU
Purdue made the Sweet Sixteen the past two seasons, and it will take a miracle to stop them from making their third consecutive one. I, however, am planning for a miracle. Haley and Skeen make a tough tandem for the Boilermakers. - Jeff Laboon
