Sunday Madness
4-4-1 on Saturday, losing Syracuse by a couple sloppy plays late and an almost BDC on it, but a loss is a loss is a loss!! LOL
Up studying most of the evening, these lines are sharper than on Saturday from the oddsmakers, but some interesting trends could be good plays today with all the matchup tie ins. Some of these games are complete mismatches of height, shooting ability, depth, defense, etc., the matchups are there, let's see who really shows up though.
Duke -4 1/2 (Blue Devils too big and too many weapons vs Jays who are limited to McDermott and Gibbs from the outside, they have some speed with their lil guard, but Curry or Suliamon should keep him at bay, no one really to matchup on Plumlee, Echy can try and put his goggles on him, but Plumlee moves a lot quicker than what Echy is used to, Kelly gives Duke the outside presence that the Jays have in McD, but in the end, experience in the tourney, ACC should give a 7-8 pt win over the Jays who did play a pretty good schedule beating the Wisky Badgers and Shockers, but lost horribly to St Mary's in the Bracket Buster)
San Diego St -7 (Aztecs under Fish are the play here only because of experience and yeah, FGC beat a #2 and they are high on it and have moved onto focus on this matchup, but the Aztecs have a totally different style than the one dimensional scoring of Otto Porter, Aztecs can rebound and play "D" and good at ORB margin vs their opponents. Fish's teams are 3-1 ATS in 2nd round of tourney and I like the Aztecs to wear down Downtown Brown and the big white boys up front in the 2nd half, SDSU 77 FGC 65)
Iowa St +7 1/2 :00hour (Like the hook here, this could be one of the most entertaining games of the day, Buckeyes play "D" and ISU shoots from trey land, Freddy Hoy-boygh vs Matta, court favors instate Buckeyes, trend favors ISU as 2nd rd teams under Matta are just 3-6 ATS whereas ISU a #10 seed are 5-0 vs an opp of B2B SUATS wins, Buckeyes won B10 last Sunday vs Wisky and won their first round game easily vs Iona, Ohio St 71 ISU 67)
Miss -3 1/2 (bought down the hook, another trend play and also fact SEC plays well in tourneys in 2nd rd, yeah LaSalle is playing the VCU role here for the A-10 which I feel is over-rated and they have a big kid in the middle, Ole Miss is physical and has their lil ADHD kid in Eminem who had an off game last game out vs Wisky and he should have his shooting edge back on track with a game under his belt, #13 or lower seeds are just 9-25-1 in the 2nd rd of the tourney)
Under 144 1/2 LaSalle/Miss (Both teams played low scoring first round, this line is off 15-18 pts, Ole Misss 67 LaSalle 60)
Miami -7 1/2 (Illinois has two key offensive players, Miami has several they can go to, mismatch here is "D" that Hurricanes play vs scattered offensive inconsistency of Illini (Paul for one), Kadji & Old Man River Gamble, Reggie Johnson may have a game that he's capable of if he has pushed himself away from the buffet line at Golden Corral, UM has 4 returning starters from last year and these guys have played great when all of them have been together this year, McK & Scott are two guys that can give Illini fits and who is going to stop Larkin? Illini returned 4 starters as well, but new coach and their style favors Miami's matchups, Miami should win by 10 or more here, UM 77 ILL 67)
Over 128 Illini/Miami
Over 123 Minn/Fla (Tubby vs his ol' SEC foe, Donovan, I've been a Tubby basher for years, but let me tell you, when Tubby's teams get this far in the season, he plays in tourney's a lot better than on the road in conference, Fla on the road the complete opposite this year, both teams feature quick guards and a defensive stopper, Fla with Young and Minn with Robinson, this game should go back and forth, I have the line off by 13 pts, this also could be a huge upset today, #11 vs #3, FLA 70 MISS 67)
Could another #1 go down today? KU or Indiana? Quite possibly, KU looked ahead vs WKU to play UNC? Maybe the players did but Billy "Himself" Self didn't and Roy's team will crave being the UD on the road and playing in KC will favor Kansas, but UNC @ KC is 7-1 last 8 ATS!! No play for me, would lean towards the dog to cover, but 6 pts is a bit low? I guess Gonzaga was a bit low too at -6 vs the Shockers? We shall see!! Late game should be entertaining as well!
GL today whichever games you pick and choose!!
