OK, so today, I definitely like...
Indy, Miami, Wichita, and Zona...
Hate the Johnson absence. Marquette is horrible and overrated, but, for some reason, I wouldn't be shocked if they kept it close somehow. I would be shocked if they won. If they somehow do win, it won't be all bad, because Indy ML might be my game of the decade. At any rate, I think the Canes pull away behind their strong guard play, and tough interior.
Indy... i'm little afraid of their unfamiliarity with the Cuse 2-3. If you slow Indy down, you can definitely beat them forcing their offense in the half court. And, while INdy has the shooters to cause problems for the zone, Cuse has the length to combat that a bit. I think this will be relatively close and low scoring. I like INdy and the under.
Zona... I think the proximity def helps Zona here. I actually don't love either of these teams. I think they are pretty equal and expect a toss-up game wire to wire. Zona has the guard play to fend off Craft's D. Lyons is playing great, and I expect him to get the better of craft.
Lasalle will need to shoot lights to from deep to win this game. Shockers should be able to bust them up inside. Henderson took that game too much outside when the bigs could have dominated. Wichita won't make that mistake. I think this is a case where the matchups simply favor Wichita in almost all respects.
I like the moneylines in all these games. The faves scare me a bit more than usual today. I am going to formulate my plays with some additional teasers and ML parlays for tonight. I don't love doing it, but it may save/make me some money.
Be back
