Tourney: 11-10 +$1,720 (Ark to make sweet16 cashed...barely)
No surprises, really...Texas looks...decent. Big guy is legit and Pope is hitting some big shots (consistently). Won't be a surprise if they make the Elite8. Michigan game looked like a practice/scrimmage for them---Duke "found" themselves in the 2nd half---Houston and Illinois will probably be the best Sweet16 game (on paper)---Arkansas better find some D or they are going to lose by 30+ to Zona (if they can get by Utah St)---Sparty is trash, but unfortunately it may not be known until the elite8 or later---and The Mayor continues the dream season for the Corn!
Some (better) good games today...
Miami +8 550/500
Miami 1st half +4 550/500
Purdue/Mia OVER 68.5 1st half 550/500
It's on...Miami won a pseudo road game in round 1, and not much will change against Purdue---absolutely love what Jai has done this year and the starting 5, so foul trouble (or staying out of it) will be the biggest key for the U b/c there is a BIG drop-off after the first guy off the bench.
Kansas +3.5 550/500
Both of these coaches are awesome---both teams have their moments---but will St. John's go through a draught like last year where they couldn't hit the ocean from a boat?---the drama w/ Peterson is annoying AF, but Kansas is the better team (with the best player) when that drama is put aside---the winner could go either way, but gimme the dog getting a little over a bucket.
UVA +1 2200/2000
Hate the Vols and they crushed me against Miami OH (what was I thinking)---not much has changed, though---Red Hawks were frauds so not reading much into that practice the Vols had---the Wahoos, however, are for real---and getting ZERO respect---sure, 3 seed, but now a dog to an underwhelming Vols team---I'm taking the bait and running...
Florida -10.5 550/500
Love Stirtz and all, but this is a horrible matchup for them---really don't see a way through, around, anything---if they keep it within 10, that would be a HUGE success
Alabama +1 550/500
Another lower seeded dog---sure, Bama lost one of their lead guards, but not their best player (like T Tech w/ Toppin)---and I think they can put that crap in the rear view after cruising through round 1.
Happy Sunday and GL, MJ'ers!
