5* 1-1

1* Kentucky Wildcats -2.5

Herb Sendek is widely considered a better coach than Mark Pope, but with this game being in St. Louis, the Enterprise Center will be PACKED with UK fans, and that's a huge edge for the Cats.  I also think we have seen that the WCC, outside of the Zags, kinda stumbles when they take the step up.  St Marys last night, despite their best player being limited, was never in that game.  This is also a like a 9am local start for the Broncos. 

1* Texas Tech Red Raiders -7.5

This comes down to one thing for me, and it's the 3pt line.  Texas Tech is one of the top 5 shooting 3pt teams in the country, and they get the third highest percentage of their points from beyond the arc.  Akron on the other hand, doesn't guard the the arc at all.  251st in 3pt defense.  Double digit win for the Raiders, cause damn near everyone on this planet is betting Akron.

1* Iowa St/Tennessee St Over 148.5

Tennessee St is going to want to run and try and get points in transition before the Clones can set up their excellent man to man defense.  They are used to playing up tempo, and they play a defensive style that is high risk, high reward.  So they will get some live ball turnovers that turn into points, but they will also get burned for easy buckets quite a bit.  They won't have an answer for Jefferson or Momcilovic and I think like last night in the Illinois/Penn game, we just need Tenn St to get to 60, cause Iowa St will be at 90+.

1* Hoftra Pride +11.5

Bama has more distractions than our government.  They had a pro, then they didn't have a pro, they have a drug dealer on the roster, now they don't have a drug dealer on the roster.  Their coach is an ego maniac who can never take responsibility for his players.  They have great guards, but they live and die on the 3 ball and that's a dangerous way to live. If the 3s aren't going, they will struggle to find anything inside the arc, as the Pride carry a top 5 2pt% defense. They also, as a team, shoot the three ball better than the Tide do.

1* Utah St Aggies -1.5

This offense is really tough to stop, and I don't think Nova has the defense to do it. The Cats played 8 games vs what I would call "really good offenses" and they won 1 of them, against Wisconsin way back in December.  The Aggies should have the Cats running all over the defensive end of the floor, taking away their efficiency on the offensive end.  

1* Miami OH Redhawks +11.5

It's no secret that Tennessee struggles in the tournament.  That plays a part in this play, but Miami taking it to SMU really opened my eyes to them and their offense.  They spread the floor so well, that even if you play great defense, you can't play great help defense, so something is always open.  These guys can shoot the three very well, and Tennessee, even with Ament, go through scoring droughts, and it's tough to dig yourself out of a hole when a team has momentum. 

1* UCF Knights +5.5

Fading Mick again.  I don't think he's a good coach.  Sure he won a few games at Cincy, and now at UCLA, but he's never won dick and he'll continue to never win dick because he is a dick. These are two of the most experienced teams in the land, and it will be a battle.  Dent and Bilodeau are both probable, but going to play even if on limited mins.  But how effective will they be???

1* Miami Hurricanes -1.5

I love Mizzous size, but I hate their coach.  He fails to adjust to in game situations, and it's cost him team more than once.  Jai Lucas comes from a lineage of great coaches, and I think he's shown in his first year at Miami, that he can coach.  They don't know how to close out on a 3pt shooter, and a simple pump fake and drive gets them nearly everytime.  I don't think this game is close. 

Good luck STL 

I agree with most of those accept Miami of Ohio. They are a shit team that played nobody all year long. They are playing a motivated Vols team that plays defense and rebounds at an elite level.  

It will get ugly.
