All eight favored teams won in the opening session of the NCAA Tournament.
Does that bode poorly for the University of San Diego?
Let’s hope not.
The Toreros will be among the eight teams expected to lose during the second day’s early session of the tournament Friday.
Not only is the University of Connecticut an 11 to 12-point favorite over USD; the Huskies are a No. 4 seed playing the 13th seeded Toreros.
Not good!
USD really has one chance to win: the 3-point shooting of guard Brandon Johnson.
If he’s on, the Toreros have an outside chance (pardon the pun.) If not, hopefully the Toreros will come closer than San Diego State did in its 24-point loss to Florida in the opening round of the NIT Tournament.
USD will certainly be dominated inside by All-Big East Defensive Player of the Year Hasheem Thabeet, a 7-foot-3 sophomore center who averaged 4.5 blocked shots a game this season.
So Johnson, maybe with a little help from Rob Jones, will definitely need to keep shooting and succeeding!
Prediction: UConn 73, USD 64

Yes, all the favorites won yesterday and USD still has a chance to win. When reality set in, it looks like you had to choose the better team. But it never hurts for the Toreros to dream; it not called March Madness for nothing.
Okay Mr. Smartie Pants, what do you think now that USD has beaten the mighty UConn?
