2nd Round? Or as I would call 1st round games.

[Destructor D]

Dayton +7 (-120) for 5* - Ohio State hasn't played well late while Dayton has been on fire. I'll take Flyers in a huge game for their program grabbing 7 points. Buckeyes haven't looked good late and ran into a red hot St. Joe's club. Ohio State doesn't have bigs in the middle to exploit Dayton. Take Dayton!

American +14 (-120) for 5* - Tough call as American isn't very athletic, but 2 TD's is a lot in a game which should be slower paced plus American is better than most think. See a closer than expected Wisky 8-12 point win. Wisky is tough and could make Final 4, but run into a slowdown style IMHO where winning by 15+ will be TOUGH!

Harvard +3.5 (-120) for 5* - Cincy is so terrible offensively other than Kilpatrick. Feel Tommy Amaker has his team more than ready. Watched Harvard almost win @ UConn earlier this year and like my chances with them winning their 2nd NCAA tourney game ever. Cincy's offense is brutal late in there year and will have problems vs better coached team IMHO. Cincy is a nightmare to watch offensively. Harvard should have been a 8 or 9 seed as well.

This will do it for early games?. lot of games ahead and think dogs do well with public pounding chalk early. This appears to be setting up for a doggie dog style tournament.

Texas -1.5 (-120) for 5* - Other than Carson, who is decent for ASU? Really they don't have much? Felix can guard Carson and Texas has huge bodies in the middle with Ridley and Prince Ebeh and ASU doesn't. Just don't see Horns losing this game. Holmes is also tough and Texas wins by at least a bucket!

Honestly, be careful with this one. Carson can win a game by himself, but the all time NCAA shots blocked leader is Brandon Bachenski......Texas will struggle matching up with him.

You might be right Capping-Guru? already placed so it's done. Texas has an experienced coach in Barnes and think they win a game before losing. Texas has great size and Holmes is a matchup nightmare for ASU IMHO. Just think Horns win a game. ASU had their 1 game against Arizona, but don't like their chances. At least one of us is happy. Best of luck!

Well the American call was a disaster? thought the slow pace would keep it close, but they just sucked!

Delaware +14.5 for 5* - Spartans are a great club, but this spread is large and the fact everyone is picking Michigan State to win it all could make their players heads a little large and see a closer than 2 TD game.

Louisville -16 for 5* - Manhattan just simply hasn't played anyone close to this Cards club and I believe they get smoked. The press should eat up the Jaspers.

St. Joe's +6 (-120) for 5* - Great opportunity to knock off a big name program and I believe this little Catholic school keeps it close similar to how they did vs VCU.

NC State +4 (-120) for 6* - Really like this play. SLU 1-8 ATS to finish the season. Too much TJ for SLU.

Florida -21 for 5* - Gators should eat up Albany in basically a home game. Realize Albany has played big name schools tough in the past, but think they get slaughtered in this spot.
