They generally have no idea how to set these lines, and I generally do pretty well on them.
Duke -2.5 vs. Syracuse - please; Duke wins this by 5-6. Worst Orange team in decades. Would lean under the 20.5.
Colgate +3.5 at UMass - Colgate can score with anyone. Haven't seen UMass. 24.5 is a big number, but I'd lean over that. Winner should get 14+.
Canisius +9.5 at Loyola - Griffs played one team near this level (Cornell), and lost by 15. Also lost by 12 at Siena. Still, top-seeded Greyhounds don't score that much, so damn near anything out of the visitors should get the cover. Not a game I love. Lean under 19.5.
UNC - 1.5 vs. Denver - two teams who are a little hard to figure, but UNC has been better of late and Denver hasn't been so great away from home. Better play here is probably over the 22.5, as nobody is going to look to slow this down, and DU doesn't play much defense.

Virginia -1.5 vs. Princeton - here's a game I figured to be on the other side of, but I wasn't expecting such a small number. UVa has looked awful for three weeks. PU only has one win over a team at this level - though they have anihilated a few decent teams. UVa probably finds a way to win, so here's hoping it's by 2. Would lean under 20.5, though that number is probably about right.
Stony Brook +4.5 at Johns Hopkins - sh, which Blue Jay team shows up? Hopkins is probably the best team in the country when it's all clicking. They are also capable of losing by six to Navy. Not a game I'll be playing. Lean over 15.5.
Yale +1.5 at Notre Dame - Bulldogs, who arent (or weren't) on anyone's radar screen, have only lost by more than one once all year (Lehigh). They have played four OT games, and won three, so they could just as easilly be out of the tournament. Irish don't impress much, but are at home. Over 16.5.
Maryland +1.5 at Lehigh - tough duty for the 14-2 Engineers, as they make first appearance in tourney. It's a gamer Lehigh can win, but probably won't. Over 16.5.
