won't get a chance to post my early games tomorrow (stupid work!), so here they are...
was it last year that the favorites dominated the first day? that was a brutal day for a lot of us here. i hope we don't see a repeat. you know, except for my first game.
lsu (-2) 1 unit. not 100% sure what to make of this game. obviously 'the best team in the sec' isn't saying much this year. but butler has definitely dropped a notch without the dead-eye shooting of aj graves. that guy had icewater in his veins. so i'm going with the tigers here.
northern iowa (+8) 1 unit. not a bad matchup for the panthers. i think purdue is the best team in the big ten this year (again, not saying much), but they'll play a style in which northern iowa is very comfortable. i think the boilermakers put a lot into winning the big ten tournament, and may come out a little flat here.
maryland (+1.5) 1 unit. according to the numbers, cal should be laying 3.5. maryland is so inconsistent, but i'll take the acc over the pac 10.
