Day 3

Favorite
St Mary’s vs Nova – Nova is sitting @ a 5 ½ pt favorite – St Mary’s showed that they can ball and Nova has not played good at all down the stretch. Going into overtime as a 2 seed in the first round with everyone watching is probably why this line isn’t a little higher. I think Nova covers

Favorite
Ohio Tennessee with UT -8 ½ - Ohio just won the National Title in their minds. They upset a George Town team that couldn’t hit a barn with a shot gun but lets not forget that Ohio was a 9 seed in their conference tourney and had to win it to get in… After UT got a scare from San Diego St I think the Vols pull away here.

Dog
Old Dominion and Baylor – Baylor is a 4 ½ pt favorite but I think ODU is experienced enough and good enough to play with them. I have a lot of respect for Baylor and the Big 12 but think ODU takes them down to the wire and covers the number

Dog
Wake Forest Kentucky – UK -9 playing a Wake team that is coming in from an ACC conference that didn’t get much respect this year but obviously the ACC is a little better than advertised. Wake keeps it close enough to cover the 9

Favorite
BYU Kansas St – Kansas st is a 4 ½ pt favorite and BYU has some kids that can ball. I don’t think that BYU has played a team that is as physical as Kansas ST and I think they get into foul trouble trying to match State and get into foul trouble. The Mormons are not near as deep as State and that’s why State covers the number

Dog
Northern Iowa vs Kansas with Kansas as a 11 ½ pt favorite. Kansas, in my mind, is the best team in this tourney. They are the deepest team in this tourney. They are the most experienced team in this tourney BUT this N Iowa team can shoot 3’s and they will not give up. I can easily see NI down by 20 with 3 minutes to go and come back and make this a single digit game. Get the points here.

Favorite
Murray State Butler – Toss up but im leaning towards Butler

Dog
Washington New Mexico – I like NM but Washington has a lot more talent than they have shown this year and they may just be peaking at the right time. I still think that New Mexico wins but when you have an 11 seed as a favorite over 3 seed then it screams Trap Game! So stay away.
