amazing how after a few days of the tourney how quickly the narrative about the conferences changes. ACC is a total terd at this point lol
NIT
1.06 / 1
Richmond -4.5 vs. oak
I like the matchup for richmond because oakland's rim protector Brock will have to defend the perimeter against Cline which could throw off their D. Seems they're less equipped to defend an offense like Richmond's, take my chances with them at home
For the tourney games today, my head is spinning. Tough games. The 3 teams winning that would surprise me most are Arkansas, michigan state and rhode island. I think unc is terrible matchup for arkansas but not looking to lay 11.5 points, especially since ACC has been so terdish, even tho doesnt really have bearing on this game, just not laying those points. And Kansas has just played too many close games this season, and seem to content to just pull it out late with clutch plays from their veteran backcourt.
1.02 / 1
Oregon -5 vs. uri
URI has been tough, but Brooks is best player on the court here who could take over. Both teams very athletic but Oregon more skilled. Also think uri being often foul prone has to bite them at some point. Honestly, who the hell knows tho at his point.

Mich been playing with a ton of confidence, just seems like they have more options to get it done. The whole lineup can drain 3's, they can hit 14+ 3's any given game (it's not like oregon runs people off the 3 pt line) , but vs louisville and in much of the B1G tourney they didnt even shoot well from 3, but they can still get it done. Rather have my money on them in a tight game
1.02 / 1
Purdue +5 vs kansas
Kansas' thing for much of the year was to play close games with most teams in conference and pull it out at the end. Crazy good backcourt and talented lineup but not deep and not a strong defensive team like they usually are. Purdue is dangerous team with all the good shooters and strong inside presence, think they have legit shot at this one

lol these games are tough, and confidence low. Not good combo, this sucks for me. These angles make some sense to me but probably wrong
1.05 / 1
So Car +3 vs baylor
baylor's season long issue with turnovers could really bite them here against this aggressive defense. Hoping Thornwell's driving and foul drawing ability gets at least one of the baylor bigs in foul trouble
1.05 / 1
Florida -1 vs. wiscy
Gators just handled a snail pace team, so not overly concerned about the pace. Also feel there's still some upside with the gators as both Allen and Barry haven't gotten it going yet. Gotta think at least one of them will get it going here
1.05 / 1
Kentucky +1.5 vs. ucla
much improved defensively since the first meeting. Mostly, I like Cal in a sweet 16 game over Alford. Proven winner on this stage and they certainly have enough talent to hang and hopefully expose a mediocre defense.

hard to doubt this team at this point, one of more surprising runs I can remember. Team really has a uconnish feel, with Blueitt playing the role of Kemba/Shabazz, macura the role of lamb/boatright
Their zone with their length has been effective enough throwing teams off and zags dont have much prep time for it. Zags come off very physical tense game vs west v and were looking tired at points. Has the look of a tight battle here, zags have been far from dominant
probably going to play kansas as could easily see them looking machine-like again playing at the sprint.

I expected more close games from kansas in tbe tourney cuz thats how it went for much of their conference season. But they are sharp rite now, sick talent with that backcourt and jackson, and playing in kansas again can take them to very high level , once they gwt going its scary...think theyll go on a putaway run again. Oregon wont wither away like purdue but can definately see the game getting away from them at some point
