The BIG DANCE - Rd 1

[Jord20]

Ugly start in the play in games. Thanks god for the "other guys' tourneys. Those wins and dollars count just as much thankfully

Anyway 5-12, down 16.5 units to start.

Today. Some posted earlier, but I will post each of them again in my daily thread. These are in. Working on finalizing the rest now. Let's go!

Davidson +4 3 units
Davidson +150 2 units
Montana +13.5 3 units
Southern +22 3 units
Davidson +4 3 units

Davidson - Marquette may be the worst 3 seed I have ever seen. They got extremely lucky all year. Opponents open FG% was one of the lowest in the country. They don't have 1 decent road win all year (beat Pitt, but without Woodall).
Davidson is experienced, close to home, and solid defensively. They will force you to beat them with the 3 and Marquette cannot do that. This seems to be a popular upset pick, but rightfully so I think.

Bucknell +8/Wisco -1 2 units

Davidson +8/FGCU +18 2 units

Good points on Davidson except for the fact about the distance....it seems wierd but there's only a 50 mile difference between Milwaukee and Davidson, NC to Lexington...seems like it would be closer than that...Good Luck!

Yeah, it's not soo close, but it's same time zone. Travel not an issue.

I think Memphis spanks St Marys today...thoughts?

The SoCon was lousy this year. Davidson never really played any great teams. I hope you win as I live 10 miles from the campus. Davidson is getting a lot of great press in CLT.

That was my initial thought for sure. I don't like where they set the line though. That really scared me. Sort of reminds me of AFA/Hawaii last night. That being said, Delly and the boys are going to have to be raining 3s for them to win... which they obviously are capable of. Will be back to this one later.

You are corrrect. totally untested. Short,short line vs the luckiest team in America though. I love the matchup. This is an outright winner.

I don't love this matchup, but I really want to fade Sparty. I was hoping for someone a little more contrasting than Valpo. Either way...

Davidson my favorite play of the day.

Keep in mind this if you follow me or look at my picks...

90% of my 2nd half plays are 2 units or less. My 3 unit 2nd half plays have been my best plays all year. They are currently 4-0 in the postseason.

Bucknell +150 2 units

how does 2/3 unit compare with your normal plays? Is 3 unit a BIG play?

Yes. I am playing almost all 3 unit plays on games in the tourneys though. I am making my bigger plays bigger with moneylines, teasers, and occasional pars
