some food for thought... 4 years ago, villanova was a #2 seed, laying 4 in the second round, and lost to uconn. 3 years ago, villanova was a #1 seed, laying 9.5 against nc st in the second round, and lost. last year, villanova was a #1 seed, laying 5 to wisconsin in the second round, and lost.
so 3 of the last 4 years, villanova was favored to advance to the sweet 16, and lost.
alabama (+11) 2 units
alabama (ML) 1 unit to win 5.7. no, i don't think the crimson tide are anything great. but villanova has advanced to the sweet 16 once since 2009. there is value in the tide today.
UB (ML) 2 units to win 4.4. davidson had their opportunities to knock off kentucky, but just couldn't hit a big shot when they needed it. if the bulls can stay hot from beyond the arc, they can win this game.
loyola (ML) 2 units to win 4. I'll take this nun https://deadspin.com/we-like-this-old-nun-from-loyola-chicago-1823815614 over rick barnes any day.
florida (ML) 2 units to win 2. the red raiders may win the popular vote, but the russians are going to rig the outcome for Egor Koulechov. seriously though, this game is in texas, and tech is only laying 1.5? practically begging for tech money.
michigan (-3) 2 units. gotta play one fav, right? i'm hoping the wolverines got their bad game out of the way on thursday. and even then, they won by 14.
also like the under in those last 2 games.
