UCLA -3.5 over Cinncy *****
UCLA -2 1st half over Cinncy *****
Should be great game...top offensive team in the country vs top defensive team...Cinncy always had great defense but this year now has some scorers...but still think it won't be enough...UCLA scores in transition...everything is about tempo...on TV you will hear that today 50 times...Cinncys defense had held almost 30 of its opponents to under 70..they are great in scoring def and FG%.... they have a great turn over ratio and I think lead the country...their gds are big Evans,Caupin,Cumberland,etc...they have 3 guys with over 38 shots blocked...and 4 guys with 48,70,95 and 156 assists..some of the good offensive teams they played they did give up some points.. Marshall and Smoo......UCLA is No 1 avg 90 pts and shoots over 50FG%..they can hit the 3 and shoot FT's...Leaf is tough inside...Welsh the big kid could be trouble inside...Alford hasn't done anything latley scoring 6.5 and 8 in last 3 games...due to breakout today..Holiday and Hamilton are tough..and Alonzo is is another world...defense is their Achilles....but think they are so good on offense with Ball handing the ball 75% of the time he negates a lot of the great Cinncy defense...esp on an open court in transition...think UCLA can control the paint and open court...love the half time -2 because sitting in row 1 in front of huge screens the halftime neon lights were staring right in front of me...
NC-Ark over 160.5 **
Duke -7 over South Carolina **
Don't think SC can stop Duke on defense...
Wichita +3.5 over Kentucky **
USC +6.5 over Baylor ***
USC took my Mustangs and a few *'s and my brakets...looking to try to get even...who knows what Baylor teams comes out of the lockeroom...talent wise they could blow the Trojans into the Pacific..but USC plays tough and think will give Baylor all they can handle
Kansas -8 over Mich St**
Think Mich St's time is up..buts its IZZO and that bastard i tourney time just wins or covers except lyr..
Oregon -5 over URI 1/2 half * over URI
I love URI...this is a tough game for them...both teams are almost even...both can score and play defense...URI has those lefties that can go right...Ducks play great defense...should really pass on this game..heart and soul on URI...this could be one of those games you make a small play on one team and lose but happy inside poorer in your pocket...might just pass and play over 139...and cheer when both score..
Louie -Mich over 140**
NIT-CIT,etc
Iowa -2 over TCU **
TCU on the rd is just avg...Iowa at home much tougher..
Oakland +4 over Richmond **
Ga Tech -3.5 over Belmont **
GT at home.. Belmont loaded with Brads POY..but Pastner has done a great job at Tech...think these kids are playing over their heads and will continue to do so...
tomorrow Rice -4.5 over Utah Valley
Could be the play of the year..sorry I never say that
Rice -4.5 ************************

Strong plays
