Hudson Valley area.....NY
URI pk over OU **
URI-OU 157.5 over **

Duke -19 over Iona ***
Iona split their last 8 games..Iona has never faced a front line of a Bagley and Carter....they lead the nation in offensive rebounds.. Iona has TKE at 6'8 inside..they play 4-5 gds...Iona doesn't see teams with this size and athleticism ..Dukies are tall,physical and have length..Iona has to double down to stop Bags and Carter..then you have Grayson,Duvak, and Trent.. Griffin for Iona has come alive but think Iona coukd get run out of the gym...McGill Iona one star did absolute nothing in the MAAC tourney...rebounding,size,Bagley..

Seton Hall -2.5 over NC St *
small play..these guys get knocked out every year in the 1st game...good news is they are all back from the last 2 years..experience maybe...

San D St +4 over Houston **
Aztecs have height and length...are hot the last few weeks..Coogs are tough but cannot get out of my mind their last game where I had a +375 play to win the conference..probably a personal play so maybe everybody should pass..

Bonnies +5.5 over Florida **
Florida plays with 4 gds....Chiazza I love.and they don't turn it over..inside game is avg..Bonnies have 2 superstar gds that really don't play very good vs UCLA win...Stockard who was listed doubtful scores 27 pts..Egor K also scares me but think Adams and Mosbly get their act together and give the gators a close game...

Texas Tech -10.5 over SFA ***
TT lost Evans the last 2 weeks and went on a Tailspin..Evans is one of the best gds in the country,,he is back..Zaire,Culver and Gray are solid gds...they are vets and experienced...SFA were always the "giant killers " in this tourney...they have some good gds but Tech plays tough defense...see Lumberjacks in the 2nd half having problems esp with an Evans attacking you on every possession..

Davidson +5.5 over kentucky ***
Cats are loaded with size,speed,athleticism,etc...all greyhounds.. Knox and co have really looked great in th SEC,etc...but these other Wildcats have played together for a few years and play their half court offense and slow you down,,pass,screen,pass,reverse pass,skip pass,dribble ,pass and a good wide open shot..swish...Aldridge can come out and hit a 3...Grady is solid and Jon Exel is tough...you have a bunch of Greyhounds trying to play fast vs old school type players... Aldridge can carry this team and just might send the other Wildcats home..

South Dak St +7 over Ohio St ***
Jackrabbits fear nobody... Bucks have better athletes,jump higher,have length,quicker,taller but they can't catch a Jackrabbit.. Daum is tough to stop...but he has Jenkins and a few guys that play with him that are good...think they could even upset them in the 1st rd...

Arizona- Buffalo ??? -8.5
I'm really confused..the line is exactly like I thought...was thinking it would go to double digits with all the Ayton hype...but he is for real...Bulls play so loose on offense but they have 5 guys that can score. Every other nite someone else is the high scorer...there defense sucks...but in the MAC Bulls just outscore you..Zona is loaded.. Between rebounding,size,FBI reports ,shooting...but Zona defense I think could be attacked.. Bulls aren't going to challenge the big guy inside...but they have 5 guys that can hit the 3..so I like the over
Over 157 ***

think Zona wins the NCAA's,FBI report is final...vacate the title...its such a joke

Gonzaga -13 over NC Green *****
Fell in love last night doing this game..Zaga is loaded...Perkins,Melsom are back from last yrs game..Tillie is 15-
17 in last 3 pt attempts...Hachimimura comes off the bench.. Williams i love at 6'9...NC Green is in trouble today.. Few in this tournament is taking no prisoners...they are going to the final 4 and they just might win it all..

Best play today Zaga
playing A, Peay -3.5 over UL Monroe *8
last 2 days
4-4 0*s

3-4 -3*'s

Having fun here in Vegas..was at Southpoint yesterday..never realized there are over 200- 300 experts sitting next to me...love eavesdropping betters sitting next to me...but everyone there last night had the Cuse except me..so today I will be listening a little closer.

Good luck today
