NCAA Tournament: 0-0, +0.00
Rank them each day how I see them w/ #1 being my best option, bets will always be at the bottom of the post. Way back in May I thought that Memphis would win it all and I’m not 2nd guessing myself now. Good Luck and Fear the Bloodbath.
#1 Kentucky +6.5
#2 UNLV +2
#3 USC -3
#4 Wisconsin -11.5
#5 Georgia +8.5
#6 Temple +7.5
#7 Pitt -8.5
#8 West Virginia -2
#9 Notre Dame -6.5
#10 Texas A&M -1.5
#11 Washington State -9.5
#12 Belmont +20
#13 Cornell +14.5
#14 Baylor +3
#15 UCLA -32
#16 Portland State +22
Some thoughts:
First off, I’m not touching a 1 versus a 16. No reason too in my opinion w/ coaches resting players on big leads for a game just two days away. I’m not interested in that period. Can probably say the same for a 2/15 match up. Second, Only 3 sides I’m playing for Thursday is based off experience. It’s time. The Big Dance is here. When you talk about Kentucky, you talk about a less than stellar campaign on the year, but looking at the big picture, 10 of their 11 losses are to teams that are currently still playing in some form of a post-season tourney, and playing in the SEC, they’ve seen all sorts of styles of play. Add in the fact that they have two guards that have the ability to knock down shots in critical times in the game, along with the fact that they’ve been playing with desperation for about the last 2 months of their season, I say their hungry and an outright win is possible. With UNLV, I’ll take the team who is not necessarily better, but they’re more experienced w/ the Big Dance. As for USC, you got Tim Floyd who comes from the NBA and has the ability to put a scouting report out there to stop Beasely. They also have the experience factor. I’ve flat out sucked at totals this year, but I’m sticking with them as well. Wisconsin total seems awfully high to me. I went to the ISU game tonight where they faced the nation’s best offense in Utah State and held them to 57 points and it was ugly. Now throw Fullerton into the Big Dance, and I think they’re a bit hesitant at the start and once you get down to Wisconsin, they’ll control the tempo and make the game so damn boring it’s hard to watch. Not only that, it’s Fullerton’s first time to the Dance and you’re stuck waiting around ALL day and so damn anxious to get on the court and you draw the late game. Considered a 3-teamer ML Parlay w/ Wisky, Pitt, and WVU, not worth it. That’s it for Thursday.
4* Kentucky +6.5
3* UNLV +2
3* Wisconsin/Fullerton Under 137
2* USC -3

I can't believe UNLV is the dog. The Badgers roll 80-55. They have Butch and Stiemsma to Fullerton's High School height. Flowers will shut down they're 5'11" shooter.

Neil- I say UCLA you say Memphis. Should be interesting. I have Memphis losing to UCLA on April 5th in San Antonio. I think Memphis limps in after two very hard fought wins against Pitt and Texas. BOL with ALL of your Tourney plays||clover.gif' border=0>||Peace_5.gif' border=0>
So far today I am on:
Temple and Georgia.

I really like the UCONN play. I watched SD's last game. They dont look like they can match up anywhere with UCONN. Also liking St.Mary's. Good Luck to you.||thumbs_up.gif' border=0>||clover.gif' border=0>

4-4, -0.10
Got some back yesterday, not much, but enough.
#1 Washington State -2
#2 Pitt -2.5
#3 Duke -4
#4 UNLV +13.5
#5 Purdue +3
#6 Stanford -3
#7 Wisconsin -5
#8 Texas A&M +10
Like Washington State to move on, also liking Pitt. After that, I like Duke to bounce back and UNLV can play with Kansas. No interest in Purdue/Xavier teams that are somewhat identical. Stanford’s guards will be extremely rattled w/ Marquette’s pressure (take a look at Stanford last year in the tourney for reference), Wisconsin matching up w/ Beasley is laughable, but I don’t think Walker can have two games like that in a row, and UCLA and A&M should be low scoring, and all it will take is A&M going scoreless for about 5 minutes for UCLA to cover this, so laying off. Not exactly sure why KU/UNLV is low, but I had it about 6 points higher. Kruger might slow the tempo, but still, this total indicates UNLV doesn’t even show up today.
5* Washington State -2
3* Pitt -2.5
3* Kansas/UNLV over 135.5
