Howie Kussoy’s best bets for Friday’s NCAA Tournament action.

It will take more than blowouts of Grambling and Utah State to make me forget Purdue’s annual meltdowns in March.

The exception was Gonzaga, which lost, 73–63, in Hawaii at the start of the season after the Bulldogs shot 6-for-32 on 3-pointers.And for once, Mark Few’s team can enjoy a tournament game where the weight of expectations and history is on the opponent.The Cougars are making their fourth straight trip to the Sweet 16, having advanced to the Elite Eight in two of the previous three tournaments.

While Houston was routinely tested in the Big 12, Duke has just one win over a team that was ranked entering the tournament.But even at the offense’s worst, the nation’s third-ranked defense stepped up to hold a top-30 offense to 58 points.Shaka Smart is in the Sweet 16 for the first time since leading VCU’s Final Four run in 2011.
