Day 1

AT 12:25
Old Dominion will upset Notre Dame in the 11/6 seed match to get this Tourney off to a great start. ODU will send the Irish packing. The 11/6 will be the previous years 12/5 match up. I got half the 6 seeds going down in the first round and I have zero 5 seeds losing.

AT 2:50
Richmond will pull away late against St Marys in the 10/7 seed match up. This line is Richmond -2 ½ so Vegas thinks this game will be very close but I see Richmond puling away late. Take the favorite in this one and watch the 7 seed move on.

AT 4:45
BUTLER will have their hands full with UTEP in the 12/5 match up but as I said earlier, all 5 seeds will move on. So take Butler and lay the 2 ½ points.

AT 7:20
MARQUETTE is only a 1 ½ pt favorite over a Washington team that shouldn’t even be playing in this tourney. The A-10 is a better basketball conference than the Pac-10 this year and you get a Big East school, a good Big East School, playing a Washington team that might not have even been invited to the NIT and you get them at basically a pick em… take Marquette and take them big. THIS IS A COD LOCK!!!!

AT 9:45
My 2nd 11/6 upset. Tennessee vs. San Diego State – SDS is the worst free throw shooting team in the Nation and Bruce Pearl will take advantage of this but with Vegas only giving SDS 3 ½ obviously they see an upset potential here also.
