SI.com's Luke Winn gives his daily forecast of the NCAA tournament.
Final Four -- Saturday, April 5
6:07 p.m. ET CBS	No. 2 Kansas vs. No. 3 Marquette Well before Al McGuire the announcer gave James Forrest the "Holy Mackerel" treatment, McGuire the Marquette coach described his 1977 national title season with imagery straight out of Highlights Magazine: "seashells and balloons." A Golden Eagle title this year would be similarly magical, yet far more shocking than '77 -- like a beach scene with seashells and balloons, and Tom Crean running by in a Speedo. The lowdown: Crean's name continues to be mentioned for major job openings, but his Final Four adversary, Roy Williams, has been the larger focus of the Media Inquisition over the newly vacated UNC post. It's hard to believe a veteran like Williams -- still in search of his first title -- would let the distraction be his downfall, so I'm taking the Golden Eagles for different reasons. 1) After an unpredictable first four rounds, Marquette's lack of Final Four experience seems like a lot less of a caveat. 2) KU's Jeff Graves can't play as well as he did against Arizona. 3) With the game on the line, MU's Dwyane Wade has shown he can do something magical; you know, like seashells. Golden Eagles 73, Jayhawks 72
8:47 p.m. ET CBS	No. 1 Texas vs. No. 3 Syracuse Texas and Syracuse will meet in N'awleans before a throng of orange-clad fans -- except in a novel setup, they won't all be rooting for the same team. The Orangemen are fresh off two wins in front of a partisan crowd in Albany (two hours from Syracuse), while the Longhorns clinched their Final Four berth in San Antonio (slightly more than an hour from Austin). "Geographic advantage" has been a hot topic in this tournament, but take solace that the men's bracket isn't run like the women's, in which another orange-clad bunch, Tennessee, often plays regionals in its own arena. The lowdown: Texas' depth and outside shooting ability carried them in the South Regional final, while Syracuse's vaunted 2-3 zone gave Oklahoma fits in the East. But as the stage gets bigger, one must focus on the duel of superstars. The Longhorns' T.J. Ford, the nation's top point guard, distributes like a magician and wears his trademark smile. The Orangemen's Carmelo Anthony, the nation's top pro prospect, has a polished game inside and out, a killer crossover and wears a trademark headband over his braids. But the man-child they call 'Melo has a trademark celebration dance, too -- the pogo stick. Expect to see it again here. Orangemen 79, Longhorns 76
Results: First round: 23-9. Second round: 12-4. Sweet 16: 6-2. Elite Eight: 1-3. Overall: 42-18.
