Saturday Picks:

Buffalo ??? over Ohio: Whatever the opening line is. Buffalo will roll to the championship. Ohio is happy to be there but Buffalo is on a mission. We should get a pretty good number since Buffalo lost at OU just over a week ago and also lost to them at home. That most recent game is the only weak spot in the past month for this team. Reggie must have gotten them all scrotums for Valentine's Day because they have played with much more guts since then. The Bulls inside strength will neutralize Williams and Battle and Cage will not shoot a combined 2-18 again. Buffalo will not be denied in this one. I'm not one to hype a selection (probably because most of mine lose) but this is a 5 unit play for me.

Could't agree more. Had Buff last night been riding them all tourney. They are the best in the Mac. Good luck.

Opening line was Buffalo -1.5. It will be 3 or 3.5 by gametime.

 

[Fluidoz]

It's already 2 1/2 at my book.

Adding:

Adding:

Vermont -6.5 over Northeastern: Going with the veteran team in this one. Northeastern hasn't had an answer to Coppenrath inside other than to have Barea fire from outside. Vermont will pull away late in the second half for the cover.

One more side:

One more side:

Minnesota +13.5 Illinois: The over/under on the announcers mentioning Bruce Weber's mother will be around 25. Sad as it is to lose a family member, once the game starts the players will not be affected. This line has been creeping up and you might want to wait until gametime to play it. It might hit 14 or 14.5. It is simply too many points for Illinois to cover in what should be a 125 point game.

Two Totals:

Two Totals:

Duke/NC State over 139.5: This game should be close enough to have quite a bit of scoring in the last part of the second half. I see it ending up in the mid to high 70's.

Syracuse -5 over WVU: Four games in four days will be too much for WVU to handle. Look for an ugly 8 point win for the Orangemen.

UTEP/Boise St. under 152.5: Boise St. will have nothing left for this game. The books are predicting 81-71 but Boise will struggle to get that high. They might have a better chance of getting 71 if their football team was playing.
