Sunday's Seletions:
5* Texas-2 (Sticking with my initial reaction, USC is talented but I watch them score and win with no inside presence, better balance with Texas. Unusal for me to go against the better defensive team)
5* Wisconsin -6 ( Better defensive team and almost a home game in Chicago, they get a break with the injury to UNLV, one of the few big 10 plays of the tournement, I thimk it will be a defensive low scoring game)
4* Florida Under 135 ( part of my anti big 10 sentiment, Florida shuts down Purdue, I like Florida to win easy but I hate to take big favorites and the under, it is not a good combination, if Purdue scores more than 62 you can't win both)
3* Kansas -8 ( Tubby will be done after this game, too much for Kentucky to handle)
3* Nevada +5 1/2 (First thought in tournament Memphis may be the first top seed out, I will take the points)
3* Winthrop +3 ( I love to root for the dark horse, so their is a little sentiment on them, showed some moxy against Notre Dame, almost a home game for Oregon yet a low number, tells me to take Winthrop)
2* Virginia Tech +1 1/2 ( they have trouble scoring at times and SILL plays good defense, toughest game on the card, I will take the more athletic team)
As Always Good Luck
