I had Maryland +9 to finish out a fun large team low dollar high reward teaser.
If you saw that last layup at the buzzer, that put it to 10. No need for wv to even shoot up 8 after a steal but the dude lays it in at the buzzer. Wow. Bad beat that wasn't for much but still hurts! Can't make that shit up!
Need lville to finish this game v

I'm going to take that back. I still do like Utah but might tease that number up a bit. Still looking at it.
The best dog I see is Notre dame actually at +2. Probably will buy it to 3 and be my largest wager of the sweet 16. More to come on that one.

I like the following today,
Notre Dame +2 (will buy the 1/2 to 2) - I might just play the ML here at EVEN odds. ND finished 3rd in a pretty tough conference (54th toughest schedule), Wichy St 1st in a pretty bad one
(94th toughest schedule).
ND beat Louis by 12, Duke by 10 and NC by 8 down the stretch. 4 of ND's 5 losses came by a combined 16 pts. The only
game they were not in was a blowout @ Duke.
ND was 7-2 vs top 25 teams and 11-4 vs top 50. Wich St only played 5 top 50 teams and went 3-2 (2-2 vs top 25)
Sagarin ratings actually have ND very slightly ahead in every formula. I'm picking ND by 4.
North Carolina +6 - This team was a little inconsistent but they played the 2nd toughest schedule and hung pretty good in
most of the top 25 games (13). Wiscy hasn't really blown out many top teams....Okla by 13 was about the biggest, GT, Mich St x 2
were all close and then losses to Duke and Maryland. And then Ore was close again by 7. In the last 2 games they've given up 15 of 31
from 3 pt range for nearly 50%, and given up about 10ppg over their season avg. Unless they come up with a defensive gem I think
this one is pretty close. I'll guess Wiscy by 3 or 4 but an outright NC win is possible.
Arizona -11 - (buy the 1/2 pt) - Arizona has been on fire the last 3 games with a 28 pt win over Oregon in the conference championship
and then 21 and 15 pts wins in their 2 tournament games so far. They also hold a 115-65 rebounding advantage over those 3 games. Arizona
head coach Sean Miller was head coach at Xavier for 5 yrs and has familiarity with the staff and program there to add to Arizona's advantage.
Hopefully it won't come down to Arizona jumping up to a healthy 2nd H lead and then deciding not to embarrass Xavier giving them the backdoor
then I think I'm OK. I'll venture a guess and say Ari by 16.
Kentucky -13 - The defensive pressure WV exerts may result in less shots for the opposition but the shots they do give up result
in a very high scoring percentage. Plus, I think Kentucky finds a way around the pressure anyway. In addition, WV has given them extra
motivation now in bulletin board material predicting a win. All chances of Kentucky potentially letting up late in the game with a large lead
just went out the window. Kentucky by 18.

Great write up Dragon- I agree with every game except the ND game.
I think Wichita Senior leadership will be the key here-combine that with suffocating Defense I see the Shockers winning this by 8.
That KY-WV game will be a foul festival-KY is great at getting to the line and shoot very well as a team from the charity stripe- Your dead on about the bulletin board material WV has provided KY. I really do not think WV will score 46 points tonight.
WI-NC This Wisky team is loaded and might get back their leading point guard for the game-NC has no way to stop Kaminsky down low-No Way. This is the best Wisconsin team I have ever seen in all my years.
AZ-On fire for sure.....

I rolled with N Dame +3 ob the buy.
Like Wiscy SU and will parlay them Oklaholma +7 (Buying +5).
Wiscy
Okie +7
(-135 odds on parlay)
Rolling with Xavier +12 too for the night game. Zona should win but this could be a closer one than most expect.
