Elite Eight – Michigan vs Florida Predictions
These two teams were expected to reach this stage in the NCAA tournament – Michigan held the number one spot in the nation earlier this season before some problems in winning tough road games appeared.

Pacers vs Heat Predictions
On a night filled with big NBA match-ups, the best and most interesting one is probably the Miami Heat trying to extend their NBA best winning streak to 18, while getting a little bit of revenge against one of their likeliest foes for the Eastern crown, the Indiana Pacers.

Big Ten – Indiana vs Michigan Predictions
