UAB +9.5 for 5* @ Memphis... Okay, I know Memphis wants revenge for their loss @ UAB, but Mike Anderson will have his team ready to play. UAB is still trying to gain an automatic berth whereas Memphis is locked into @ #2 seed at worst. I expect the Blazers to give the Tigers trouble once again and this game to be decided in the last minute with Memphis probably squeaking out a win. Memphis is very talented, but UAB is very talented as well and has the athletes to play with Carney, Washington, & Company.
South Carolina +4 (-120) for 5*... Gamecocks always had a lot of talent, but finally they are playing up to Odom's expectations. Kentucky is coming off a couple tough wins and I expect this game to go to the wire. South Carolina has a very underrated frontcourt that will give the Wildcats trouble. Line seems about right, but Odom knows they need this win for a shot at the tourney. Expect South Carolina to come ready to Cocks pull the upset.play.
Texas A&M +8 for 5* - Aggies already beat Texas and they have won 8 straight. Horns have a horrible tendency lately to play to the level of their opponents and should have trouble again vs. a scrappy Aggie team. I also take Gillespie over Barnes coaching any day of the week. Law and Jones are equal IMO to Gibson & Aldridge. I'm sure I hear some comments, but A&M is on a roll and will keep this game close.
Indiana +5 vs. Ohio State for 5*... Hoosiers seem on a mission to win the Big 10 tourney whereas Buckeyes seem ready to go through the motions. Hoosiers showed a lot of character today and I expect Killingsworth to have a monster day against Dials. Home court advantage helps as well.
Wake Forrest +11 vs. Duke for 5*... Gray & Williams know they are seniors who underachieved this season and now they are finally playing to their potential. Duke could blow this team out, but I like the matchups, Gray vs. Reddick & Williams vs. Williams. Dockery not being 100% makes this a good play on the Demon Deacons IMO.
