a few tourney thoughts and an early sleeper........

Not arguing that Memphis is a hot team, but in comparison Oregon played tougher schedule, in a tougher conference. Like I said only 2 losses all year to teams not in the tournament. For the C-USA runner up to get a better seed than the P-10 tourney champ is extremely favorable in my opinion.

Tough luck to be placed in the West region!

One thing that scares me about Wisconsin. They had 9 days off between their last regular season game and their 1st round game in the Big 10 tournament, where they did not look sharp in their loss to #8 seed Ohio State. Now they have another 6 days off until their 1st game in the NCAAs. That's only 1 game in 15 days. It is hard to stay sharp with that many days off. I think another game or two last weekend in the tournament would have really been good for them to help get that sharpness back. Having to travel a long ways out to Spokane won't help either. I look for them to struggle early. Maybe a good spot for a 1st half wager on Weber State.
