Damn it! I wrote up a great bit on my plays and somehow it did not post and was lost.
Here's what I have and I will try to recall what I wrote:
There are some really odd lines today...
Richmond -3.5
UConn -3.5
BYU +2
Richmond -3.5
This is the 9 time that a 12 is taking on a 13. 12 seeds are 8-1, only Valpo a 13 seed in 98 beat a 12 FL St.
Richmond is a better team. They beat Purdue. Their defense is stifling holding opponents to 40% FG and 30% 3PT shooting.
Morehead St. had the perfect storm for the upset against Louisville. Louisville was 7 for 16 FT shooting. Missed a 1 and 1 at the end. Blew a 7 point lead with 10 to go, came back from 5 down to take a lead of 4 with 40 seconds left. On top of that Knowles was hurt and missed the final 9 minutes of the game.
Add to the fact that Morehead State shot 38% against Louisville. Unfortuantely, that will not get it done against Richmond.
Richmond is the better team, and I am getting on this short number before it moves to 5 or more.
UConn -3.5
A couple of weeks ago, UConn was a 4 point road dog in Cincinnati. Well, they lead the entire first half, only trailed for about 30 seconds in the 2H. Had a 13 point lead during the 2H and won by 8.
UConn dominated Cincinnati and I can see this happending again as I don't really believe in Cincinnati. It's a conference rematch and these teams know it each well.
Once again, I will go with the better team and the hot team...UConn -3.5
BYU+2 or ML for valueI cannot recall the last time a 3 seed was a dog in the second round? Has that ever happended? Yes, I know BYU is down a player. As a result, I believe that along with the Gonzaga mystique in the tournament is creating this unique value.
I'm a sucker for this wrong team favored line...I'm sucked into BYU ML as I will not need the points.
