UCLA -1 over Kentucky ***
Think to much of Ball and Leaf....line is up to -1.5 but bought my ticket on Monday in Vegas..so much hype on Alonzo but he delivers...
Baylor -3.5 over South Carolina **
Line is now -3 but like the UCLA ticket that's what it was on Monday..so gained a 1/2 pt and lost one...think they have regained their momentum somewhat..after the way they played the end of the season...think they are back..SC plays great defense and are now scoring...think Bears play like they should...
Florida -1 over Wisky *
No idea...Wisky looked so good with Nigel and co...either team could win..I will lean on gators..small play
Butler +7 over North Carolina **
OK who am I? high shooting %, we "take care of the ball"avg 11 turnovers a game,we pass a lot to avg over 15.5 assists a game,play tough defense allowing 64 pts a game compared to last year when gave up 100.9 pts per 100 possessions...but when the NCAA's come around we kick ass..we have been in it 8 of the last 10 years and are 9-1 in the 1st round...lost last year to Vir by by 8 or 9....we are the Butler Bulldogs..NC has more talent,big frontline quicker,more athletic,etc,etc..but think Butler hangs around....Holtman has done a great job with these kids....no one knows the coach..Brad left 3 years ago to the Celtics...maybe after tonite some people will take notice esp if he can do what Xavier did to Zona ,,

Stanford -2 over Texas ***
No 2 vs No 3 seed...Stanford on opening day beat Texas 71-58...but Texas was really young and inexperienced ....Texas went on a roll all season and then hit a road block...lost 4 of 5 games...Baylor beat them in the reg season for the B-12..think they peaked to soon...they have come back in last 3 or 4 though..McCarty is 5'4 and was POY of B-12....can shoot,pass,etc..Aikens is the other gd that is solid...Lang and Holmes are tough inside...Cards have Samuelson the best 3 pt shooter in the country..McCall inside is tough..think Cards are just a little better...both teams rank in shooting 3's...Cards have 4 girls that have hit ,71,31,20 and 19 3's...think Stanford will try to slow down McCarty because she is like a waterbug but fun to watch...just recently Tex beat K-State by 7 where Stanford just beat them 69-48 in the tourney...close game but cards win and cover..

Xavier beating Zona killed a 4 team parlay...was 3-0 with Zona leading by 6 or 7..fell asleep and woke up to collect ....and XU won outright....and they are doing this w/o Sumner who was going to the NBA after the season...
St Peters-Texas St is a pick'im....with the over-under 119.5 going to the game...should be intriguing both teams ended up 2nd or 3rd in their conferences...have to go with Peter...but Bobcats play such a great defense...puzzled on the over-under...like a low score of 65-61....but that is over....anybody have any suggestions will take them...
