Next take a random number seed with the chalk and staple it the parlay. If you're feeling lucky, staple a 2nd one to it (like Kentucky).
Next, add Missouri to your parlay. They will cover any number.
After that, depending on your book, you can staple huge ML favorites like the 1 and 2 seeds just to give you an odds bump but if you bet small it
Similarly, look at 4-13/5-12 match ups where you feel like the favorite wins but don't know much about the underdog and just ML them.
Also, look at totals. Teams like Long Beach St., Baylor, Missouri, LIU are going to push totals way over, while teams like Wisconsin and USF are going to push totals way under. Under/USF and Over/LBSt might as well be locks in this tourney.

But really, the tournament is all about matchups. Belmont was the trendy upset pick last year but too many people ignored the fact that Wisconsin was about the worst possible matchup they could have possibly faced. The "trendy" upset pick rarely comes through. Who had Morehead last year? Very, very few.

Also I am looking for teams that have excellent neutral court records over the season. I believe Mizzou is undefeated on neutral floors this season.
Last year Uconn was, I believe, undefeated last season on neutral courts and obviously went on to win it.

So you will being fading one Pac-12 team in Colorado because that's the only team getting in from that conference

good PGs help
smart coaches that adjust from opp. to opp (see Smart, Shaka)
look for good 3 pt shooting vs bad 3 point defense
good rebounding teams

I'm surprised Iona and Texas have made it. I thought Cal would have made it over those teams.
Looks like a one bid league now.

I will definitely be looking to play USF if the line is right(I'm hoping laying under 5 pts.) |

I don't think the Big East is overrated at all. I think the Pac 12 downright sucked this year as well. I thought AZ would be a lot better than what they were. While I didn't have high hopes for UCLA, I didn't think the would lose to the likes of MTSU and LMU this year either.
I think the Pac 12 is just downright awful. I'm just hoping the line makers disagree with me and give USF a good number for the Cal game. Especially since I can make it to Vegas Tuesday.
