Line: -1.5, Heat This matchup is intriguing to me for one reason. There is no way Rondo is 100%. And Rondo is a guy that needs full use of his body to be effective. He is a guy that dives all over the place, plays great D, and can get boards. Whether he thinks so [...]
Line: Kansas -10.5 This matchup reminds me a lot of the matchup between Ohio State and GMU last week… If all my high school teachers were right, history will repeat itself, and this will be another ass-ravaging. Up to this point in the tourny, Richmond has beaten Vanderbilt and Morehead. I see this game as [...]
Line: UConn -1 The line, for me, in this game is very attractive. Kemba Walker is playing out of his mind. Prior competition is a huge factor for me, and if I have to choose against a Big East team that seems to be peaking and a Mountain West team that seems to be peaking, [...]
Line: Gonzaga -1.5 Winner advances to the Sweet 16. BYU simply has not been the same team ever since Brandon Davies’ bone heard ’round the world. They’ve relied heavily on Jimmer Fredette to do most of the scoring even with Davies, but they are missing his presence in the paint and his 11 and 6 [...]
Line: Temple -2.5 My first pick of this year’s NCAA Tourny is an upset. I’m probably pretty lonely with this pick, but I just feel Penn State has played far superior competition than Temple. The record comparison, 19-14 to 25-7, is enough to turn 90% of people away from t his pick, but strictly based [...]
Big East Quarterfinals Line: Notre Dame -2 Cincinatti comes into this game on a 3-game winning streak, beating their last two opponents by 22+ points, one of those being Georgetown. As impressive as that is, Notre Dame enters the game on a 4-game winning streak, beating Villanova and UConn during the streak. The Big East [...]
Big West Quarterfinals Line: 0 Pacific enters this game on a 3-game skid while UCSB has 1-win fresh off their own 3-game slide. These teams are very evently matched. Neither score very many points, neither like to rebound, both have similar overall records, and identical conference records. Pacific has, however, swept UCSB in the regular [...]
With 6 teams with 20+ wins and GMU in the top 25, this is for sure an up year for the CAA. They kick off their 1st round today at 12:00pm with this matchup between the Panthers and Seahawks, two teams that have been hurt by this year’s upswing in conference competition. Georgia State enters [...]
The 1-point spread in this Missouri Valley Tournament game (which includes two God-awful teams) caught my eye. From an aerial view, it looks like Drake should be the pick to win this game. They have a 7-11 conference record while Bradley sits at an embarrassing 4-14. However, Bradley is coming off of a victory against [...]
Line: Duke, -10 Does anyone else think 10 points is too large of a line for the best rivalry in NCAA basketball history? Even with the game at Duke, I have not seen very many of these Duke-Carolina match ups that didn’t come down to the last few minutes. Just feed Tyler Zeller. He’ll be [...]
