Leaving tomr. morning for Glen Falls.One of my best friends is being enshrined into the NY state HS Basketball Hall of Fame.Won't be back until later in the evening.[Hoops you know who]
Played Butler and NC Wilma.Games are still going on.NC-Wilma is now leading Maryland.I had to go opposite it after suspension.But they might win anyway.I have both in a big parlay so I might still get lucky.By the time I type this the games will be over.
Conn -2.5 over Stanford
Okafor,Okafor and Okafor.BYU was a tough game but I think Conn has to much talent.Ben outside and Okafor inside are to much.Calhoun will overplay Barnes and Stanford.Conn is quicker and has more depth.
Cal +8 over OU
Golden bears are my sleeper team.Although they slumped a few weeks ago they have awoken.Shipp is big time leading the PAC-10 in scoring.Tamir and Wethers both avg 15 pts a game.OU will have its hands full.I know they play the pressure defense but stopping Cal is a problem.OU inside is not that physical.They have those speedy greyhounds everywhere but I think Cal can protect the ball.Hollis is not 100%.You can see him struggling.Ere isn't the same.I think Cal has a real shot at upsetting OU.If not at least covering the 8 pts.
ASU +7.5 over Kansas
Another PAC-10 team that will cause problems.Diogu could be the best player on the floor tomr.He can do it all.Millage can pass and shoot.Smith is a 6'10 shot blocker.Kansas is loaded.Just think they struggle with the Sun devils.Collison and their transition game scare me but ASU is athletic and stays with them.ASU is not big but rebounds very well.
Central Mich +10 over Duke
I've been riding the "train" for a long time.Kaman can dominate.As long as he stays out of foul trouble.But the other nite he sat the bench and the Chippewas didn't miss him.Duke is in a dog fight.Manciel,Wallace and Meerman can play.This is a experinced team vs Duke who is young but talented.Riddick needs his shots contested.They love that outside shot.One of these days it won't fall.Think tomr with Kaman in the middle they take more.CM offense can shoot the 3 just like Duke.Chips ended up 7th in the nation in 3 pt FG%.Thats because everyone doubles down on Kaman.Chips keep this one close.
Illi -5 over Notre Dame
ND is lucky to still be alive.Illi has to much inside strength and enough outside to win this by 6-10 pts.Cook should dominate.Brown is a "blurr" sometimes. Powell and willians can shoot.ND is to slow.Thomas is by himself tomr.Illi should pressure him from the tap.Illi is 2nd in the nation in FG% defense.ND will have trouble getting open looks.
Mizzou +4 over Marquette
Think Mizzou can stay with Wade and co.This should be a close game going right down to the wire.Paulding,Clemona and Johnson inside is a major defensive problem for marq.Diener playing awesome but Mizzou has speed.
Zaga +10 over Zona..
The Giant killers...Always seems Zags scare the hell out of everyone in the Big dance .Knock off the Florida's,Louisville's,Virginia's,the Stanfords.Don't think they beat Zona but I can only find one time in the last 5 yrs they lost a NCAA by 10 pts or more.
Wisky -3 over Tulsa
Wisky spread offense will cause problems..

Butler won outright and Wilma covered.Wish I didn't change my play.Scott-Atlanta,I didn't see your post.I just went the other way for the same amount.But I had a huge parlay with Butler and Wilma.Didn't change that.I figured i'd eat it.But Wilma covered and almost won.
