Dayton +6 over Ohio St **
Think Flyers can keep this close...just give Craft the ball and let him shoot all day.
West Mich +13 over Cuse *
Cuse is in a funk but...Ennis is awesome,CJ good...WM is riding high on winning the MAC..Brown can score and they have 6'11 Whittington in the middle..they played EMU which plays Cuses 2-3..they lost at EMU big hitting 5-20 from the 3 and shooting 12-42...at home they did better winning by 8 but still shot 5-16 from the 3..small play..its 'happy to be here vs "we better get our act together"...I'll lean with "happy" for a small play.WM won 12 of last 13..
NC St +3 over St Louie ****
Think Pack is back...TJ tough..Louie in a tail spin,great defense but not enough offense...
Manhattan +17.5 over Louie *
Small play..love my Jaspers..Beamon and Alvardo,Brown.. they don't turn the ball over but have never played with the pressure they see today...worried about getting worn down in the 2nd half...Mais coached under Pitino for 6 yrs..Pitino is upset with the NCAA for pitting his buddy against him in round 1...maybe Pitino calls off the dogs if it gets to be a blowout..maybe not..but think the Bronx boys play their hearts out and keep it under the number.
Zona St +2.5 over Texas ****
Think the Sun boys can beat the Longhorns...both teams backed in the tourney with losing games late in the season..Tex owns the bds esp. on offense..4th in the country..but the reason the get off bds is because they can't shoot...but Ridley,Holmes,etc inside are tough..Taylor is a good pt gd,Flix has to hit his shot,Holmes is back after sore knee and Ridley with size and body takes up 2 parking spaces..Tex plays good perimeter defense..Zona has Carson one of the best pt gds in the country..has been off a little but he can penetrate...in the middle they have the leading shot blocker in the country in 7'2 Bachy..also have 6'10 Jacob and McKissic and Marshall...they have some talent but have been in a tail spin losing 5 of last 7...after Zona upset they kind of been lost...Like Herb over Barnes coaching wise...Barnes said already" if my gds aren't playing or shooting well I'm yanking them"...nice positive reinforcement for a team with all sophs are froshs...
Delaware +14.5 over Mich St **
Why don't we just cut down the nets for the Spartans..everyone in the world of sports is taking Mich st...the 20 panelist on ESPN,Obama,Checkov the Ukranian Pres, Senator Ted Cruz of the Tea Party,etc,etc...well they better be careful today with the Blue Hens..these guys can play. Sadler is good as any gd in the B-10.. Usher and Threatt both avg in the 18's..they have 4 players that can put the ball down on the floor..Baptiste in the middle is solid.This guys can score..the big question is can they play D..the answer is no...not against Dawson,Harris,etc,etc...I'm sure Izzo has his team prepared and heads back on earth..no one can do that better then Izzo..but I think the hens will be a pain in the ass for Mich St today...and the hens drive and go to the hoop and get fouled a lot...hopefully the refs call it...and the President of the Ukraine should be worried about Crimea because they are -30 vs the Russians...
Baylor -3 over Neb ****
Neb playing great..talented..happy to be dancing..BU found itself..loaded with front line,hot gds..Cherry and Heslip are bringing their A game every nite..O'Neal,Jefferson and Austin are athletic and big..Huskers are talented but just running into the wrong team at the wrong time...living here in Austin I only get ESPN radio thru Waco..so I'm influenced by the Baylor Bear nation...they are playing in San Antonio and most of Waco will be there...
Memphis -3 over GWash **
Vir -21.5 over Coastal **
Cavs play great D and Coast can't score..
Wisky -13.5 over American **
Wisky can score and never turns the ball over.
Ok St -2.5 over Zaga **
Smart back..Brown is really a stud.. Nash can score.. Zaga losing pt gd hurt big time..Pangos,Dower,etc tough...but Cowboys are on a mission...when Pokes penetrate just kick it out to Forte...
top plays..Zona St,NC St and Baylor
