Florida -11.5  2nd Half 

They should absolutely blow this one open in the 2nd half...nerves are gone...defense steps up

Uconn ML  -220

The Huskies are the 10th best free throw shooting team in the country, and St. Joes is way back at 335. I can't see how this won't impact the game.  Staying away from the spread.

Wofford vs Michigan O60 1H

Past couple for the Wolverines have been faster starts...I don't think the Terriers defense is enough to hold them back

St. Louis -3.5
St. Louis 1H ML  -140

We saw with Dayton that the A-10 might be a heck of a lot better and well deserving of their high invites.  I think NC State is over-rated and the Bilikens great defense should be able to slow down Warren.

I agree that the price isn't necessarily ideal...but I really don't like the 5 either

Oklahoma Sooners TT U76.5

NDSU isn't a big team, but they are the best shooting team in the country, they are very patient.  The Sooners defense isn't much to speak of, they pretty much just fly up and down the court and hope to out-score the opposition.  Should be a close game the whole way, but not as high scoring.

Delaware vs Michigan State O80 2H

Don't think the Hens will struggle as much shooting the ball...and the Spartans are just too much inside with Payne...also the free throws late

Villanova -16

Too strong a team.  Panthers got hot during the tournament, but other than that struggled against mediocre competition.  They don't really shoot that well and don't put up a ton of points either.

Arizona St vs Texas OVER 139

Overtime potential...teams are very even up and down.  Should come down to the wire.  Most of the early games have been slower paced, I think this one gets up and down.

Manhattan vs Louisville O141.5

Manhattan can put up some points, and we all know the fast pace that Louisville likes to play.  Scared away from the spread because of the way the Florida Gators came out today...seems like the best of the best are tentative.

45% from the free throw line to lose by a half point

Mercer +7.5  1H

The Bears are highly ranked in just about every offensive and defensive category.  We all know that if Duke doesn't come out hitting their shots, they have a tendency to struggle.  I think with the earlier start today they will have a harder time getting hot.  Duke is also not a strong rebounding team...the Bears have some size inside and Hall is a great FT shooter.

Baylor -4

I just don't think the Huskers offense has enough to keep up for 40 minutes.  They like to play small...and I just see Baylor dominating inside.

Stanford vs New Mexico U62.5 1H

Lobos have a great defense and size down low...should be able to bother the Cardinal quite a bit.  Stanford will have to rely on Huestis...and I don't think he will have as big an impact.

Good luck I will be following you on this game, see how it goes.

Arizona -20

Weber St relies on the 3-point shot most of the time, but the Wildcats are one of the best rebounding teams in the tournament...4th best rebounding margin in the country.  I don't see the shots falling for Weber today...35 point win

I thought Nebraska was a good choice the way they have been upsetting teams lately, and Bayor might come out small, and you have changed my opinion on this one, I am probably going to follow you on Baylor.  It should be similar to BYU vs. Oregon, so we'll see how that turns out.  Let's go Bears.
