Each game day during the NCAA tournament, the Post's Marc Raimondi, Anthony Sulla-Heffinger and Justin Terranova will be providing you with their input for that day's games.
For the afternoon session of Saturday's third round, Raimondi is going almost all chalk.
SOUTH REGION – AUBURN HILLS
(4) Michigan vs. (5) VCU: 12:15 p.m., CBS
Michigan limped down the stretch and John Beilein's teams are susceptible to hard-nosed, blue-collar defenses. VCU is one of the most intense teams in the country – the Wolverines can't handle the heat of "Havoc" for 40 minutes.
Prediction: VCU 60-55
MIDWEST REGION – AUBURN HILLS
(3) Michigan State vs. (6) Memphis: 2:45 p.m., CBS
I'll let you in on one of my top NCAA tournament bracket strategies – never bet against Michigan State early in the draw. Tom Izzo win the coaching battle and his team will easily outphysical finesse Memphis in what is likely to be a rout.
Prediction: Michigan State 59-43
MIDWEST REGION – LEXINGTON
(1) Louisville vs. (9) Colorado State: 5:15 p.m., CBS
Louisville isn't as unbeatable as many people think and Colorado State, a group of strong-willed seniors, will give the Cardinals a run for a half. But Peyton Siva, Russ Smith and company are too fast and athletic – Louisville will be in the Sweet 16.
Prediction: Louisville 75-58
WEST REGION – SALT LAKE CITY
(6) Arizona vs. (14) Harvard: 6:10 p.m., TNT
Harvard became the darling of the tournament before Florida Gulf Coast ever took the floor when it beat New Mexico on Thursday night. Well, the Crimson's run will come to an end Saturday – Arizona is far too fast and talented to let this one slip by.
Prediction: Arizona 69-56
