Bradley has the two leading shot-blockers in school history on this team. They will gobble up anything on the inside. The biggest concern is Michigan St. getting super star calls, but I don't see that happening. Bradley will be able to score enough to hang in this low-scoring affair. Nate Kanel is an absolute sniper. He will hit some big shots and is the type of player that allows you to maybe pull off a big upset if he's getting open looks. Decent free throw shooting and rebounding as well.
Oregon +1.5
The Oregon shotblocking should win them this game. Oregon can probably get a few turnovers with their press. Those two things will be the difference. Also, Oregon will get a few easy buckets on the fast break and some alley-oops.
St. Mary's +5.5
This team has the right pieces to hang with Nova. They defend well and are efficient. That slow-pace makes St Mary's a good value play. They need to avoid giving Nova an early lead. Nova showed that they can't maintain any sort of lead in their last game. That Black forward crashing the boards will be a big difference-maker for Mary's. He should be able to guard Pascal. Catching pts in a game like this is huge.
Washington +3
I'm not in love with this play because Washington is a bit of a stupid team. Still, the defensive pressure they bring will probably cause some issues for Utah St. I doubt Utah St saw anything like that in their regular season. Washington should be able to force some turnovers and get some easy buckets.
UNC -25
UNC should be covering this by the half. Iona and that conference were a complete joke. Iona is small and dependent on wide-open three's. If UNC pounds it on the inside, shoots a decent percentage, and defends the three, then they'll win this by 40.

Based on KP and sos alone the line is miss priced. Why? Cause the books know they'll get more action on a hot Oregon team who's streakin.
I think they get a rude awakening. Both play offense at a snails pace. No one will be out of their comfort zones on either side.
Oregon has luckily faced horrible 3pt shooting this year. Allowing only 29.4% from the arc, 10th best in hoops. But they allow 24 attempts pg which is #271 in hoops. The Badgers hit at a 36.6% clip from the arc.
If anything does the Badgers in, it will be their poor free throw shooting. Especially Happ, the dude has gone cold from the charity stripe this year.

I like 'em all except the Wash Huskies - This team IS COOKED ! They fell apart down the stretch looking uninspired, uninterested, and can't wait for Summer out West. Do any of them play golf I wonder? I wouldn't bet your money on The Huskies - Utah State is THE REAL DEAL as evidenced in their season and conference tourny. Disciplined, Smart, GREAT from the Foul Line and a Dark Horse to reach the Sweet 16 ......other than Utah State, I like the others.
Thanks for the input - We should ALL BE HERE to assist one another in making money !
