Taking FLORIDA STATE here. I am not sold on Xavier. I did cash them in the Big East tournament +4 vs Creighton after they knocked off Butler and DePaul in the rounds before. But that was a desperate team that needed a win to get to the NCAAs. They had lost 6 straight before beating DePaul twice. Once to end their season, and then to open the Big East tourney. Look. They gutted out a pair of 2pt win over the Hall after their assist leader Sumner went down. But fact is, they won 3 games over DePaul and a desperation win over Butler that was tied with a minute to go. No way I trust them again a very good Seminoles team. Let's see Winthrop, Minnesota, Florida, Wake, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Duke, Notre Dame, Louisville, Miami.. Just the NCAA teams they knocked off this year. Xavier lost to Baylor, Lost Butler twice. Lost to Nova twice. Lost to Creighton twice. - I mean, you can't even compare, especially with the injury last month. Give me the Noles big. 8* Sure Shot FLORIDA STATE

Taking GONZAGA here. I get that Northwestern is a nice story. But this is where dreams come to die. Zaga overcame a terrible first half and put away SD State by 20 without breaking a sweat. Rest assured, there will be no adjustment period here. HC Few knows he needs to make some noise. These guys aren't a little Cinderella bunch anymore. They were a dominate team all year and have the 1 seed. Northwestern was given a gift foul that they delivered on. And, it probably should have been more seeing how Seton Hall had a flagrant called against them today that totally blew the spread and any chance of a win. These guys took care of Florida, Arizona and Iowa State all on neutral floors. I think those teams are better than Northwestern. Sorry ESPN Greeny, your boys are in for a rude awakening this afternoon. 5* Best Bet GONZAGA

Taking CINCINNATI here. I really want to up the rating on this game. But this line is a bit tricky for me. Bearcats are 29-5. 29 wins! I don't care what conference you play in, that is a good season. What I like a lot about this spot is pretty simple. K-State off a game with zero defense played. Then they travel and have limited prep time for a team that is physical and has a smothering defense. I would actually like this game more if Cincy was 5-6pt fave. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BEARCATS

Taking WICHITA STATE here. What a complete joke? What the heck does the committee have against the Shockers? They screwed them in their undefeated year putting them in the Kentucky bracket and here as a 10 seed they get Kentucky again as a 2 seed. I do like Dayton. But the Shockers have been running roughshod over teams.. Try these margin of victories on for size - 20,15,26,19,26,29,19,17,18,41, .8. 15,42,26,17 - you get the picture yet. Forge the 8pt win. That is an anomaly. Minimum 15 points. So double what they are laying here. If you don't think they will be motivated to crush the Flyers you are sorely mistaken. 5* Best Bet WICHITA STATE

Taking SMU here. 16 straight wins for the 30 victory Mustangs. People talk about seeds, but man. How about the way that the AAC is looked at. Terrible seeds by SMU and Cincy. No respect. If Connecticut made the dance, they would be on a 5 line based on their name. So USC in off a huge comeback win. They might feel good about themselves. They beat SMU back in November 78-73. In fact SMU lost to Michigan, USC and Boise all away from home back in November. But even with those non-conference losses, Vegas still sees theses guys as a decent size favorite. Let's roll the dice on the fave here. 8* Sure Shot SMU MUSTANGS

Taking SETON HALL here. Not getting fancy in my thinking here. Both teams lost in the conference championship games. No harm in that. But this really rests on the Hall defense getting the job done. And the fact that they are in their 2nd straight tournament. They went to Gonzaga last year. And that is a great growing experience. Arkansas is a 25 win program. Clearly not a push-over. Just think the experience factor is high here. 10* Money Bomb SETON HALL

I get people normally see San Diego State out here. But this bunch has something to really prove here. I had Iowa State through the Big 12 and even at +475 to start the tournament there. Not a surprise as they have won this tournament a few times over the last couple years. Just think they might be counting their chickens before they hatch here. 10* Money Bomb NEVADA WOLFPACK

Taking VIRGINIA TECH here. Almost put this out on the sites ML +200. VT had reeled off wins in 4 of 5 before Florida State beat them in the ACC tournament. I just can't trust Wiscy. Yeah, they some Final Four hold-over guys. But before their season finale win over Minny, and 2 tourney Ws, they had lost 5 of 6. So what team is showing up? The one that run out of the building Sunday? The one that beat Indiana, who we faded and cashed with Georgia Tech as a nice dog with? ACC was much better than the Big 10 this year. Va Tech went into Michigan and beat the Wolverines. And also beat Nebraska on the road. They beat Duke, Virginia, Miami. These guys play for Buzz. Wiscy was 21-3 in early February. I make it a habit of not backing teams on a slide. Especially come tourney time. And ones that are laying points to boot. Live dog here. 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA TECH

Taking ST. PETERS here. So, the Peacocks have had some time to lick their wounds getting bounced as a 2 seed in MAAC tourney, no such luck for Albany. Fresh off of Sunday's 56-53 nail-biter. They have to be thinking. Are we really in the CIT? We had a 9pt lead with under 9 to play. Did we really miss 10 of 11 shots? Did we really lose a lead with 38 seconds to play? St Pete's defense will get after the Danes, who, I believe have zero heart or motivation for this game. 10* Money Bomb ST PETER's

Blue Raiders beat Vandy by 23 and lost on the road to VCU by 3 to the only tourney teams they played. They knocked out Michigan State 91-80 last year in Round 1 when we cashed with them. Their top 3 guys are all back from that group. Final thought. Minny lost G Springs. The 2 deep bench is now 1 deep. Committee has Minny ranked 18 and Mid Tenn 48. And we are a PK.

Taking WINTHROP here. Back in the day Butler was a regular tourney play-on for me. But those days are long gone as evidence of them laying double digits. I know they are a big, bad, Big East team now. But I must be missing something. They come in on a 5-5 while the Eagles of Winthrop are streaking, winners of 9 of 10. The one loss, 3pts in OT. I get it. The Big South. But the Big South is on a 4-1 ATS run in the tournament. This is veteran team. Cooks and Johnson were on 3 straight teams that went to the Big South Championship Game. They finally captured the crown. They are a legit pair of guys who can carry a team. Or at least, do enough to get us inside this number! 4* Money Maker WINTHROP

In 2015, 13 seed Harvard lost to 4 seed North Carolina 67-65. 2014 saw Harvard as the 12 upend 5 seed Cincy before losing to 4 seed Michigan State 80-73. In 2013, 14 Harvard beat 3 seed New Mexico before losing to 6 seed Arizona. Notice a trend here. Ivy plays teams pretty tough out of the gate. If the Tigers can neutralize double-double machine Colson off the glass, they have a real shot at winning this thing outright. 4* Money Maker PRINCETON TIGERS

Make no mistake, this is a good team. As I have said before, road wins at Texas and St Mary's shows us these guys can play. Now they head to a tough BYU court. Most teams getting NIT bids feel snubbed from the NCAAs and fail to show up. Arlington is one of those teams that has to win their conference tournament to get a bid. So they will be especially ready tonight to take care of a 'bigger' named school. 5* Best Bet UT ARLINGTON

Taking GREENSBORO here. Forget about Boheim said about the ACC tourney playing in Greensboro. That is alright for talking heads and people selling those dumb shirts. But fact is coach was on ESPN radio this morning moaning over how they should be dancing. They beat Duke, Virginia, Florida State, Wake, Miami, all ACC dancers. Guess he forgot losing to BC by 15. Or St John's by 33. They have dropped 5 of their last 7. I had the Orange in that ACC opener. I thought they need at least 1 win to dance. So it isn't like I don't think they are good. But they don't have any motivation here. On the flip side, Greensboro happy to face an ACC team. Even if they are in NY, this is still a huge game for them. 9-1 their last 10. They did blow a lead to East Tenn State in their championship game. But as the saying goes. Tough to beat a good team 3 times right. Still, NCG is going to be really excited about this one. It isn't the NCAAs, but they get a huge program like Syracuse so their guys will be extra pumped tonight. 4* Money Maker NC GREENSBORO

They just look unbeatable which is why we are laying double digits. Normally a double digit championship dog would be a key release for me.

West Va last night on 3 FTs with seconds left. A couple OT games. Just haven't gotten the bounces like we have had coming into Thursday. - Depending on the when the lines come up, will be on Iowa State. I will be attending my 5th funeral in 2 weeks tomorrow. So I won't be posting some of these games until after 2 or 3pm, if I get to post at all. I also have had 2 weddings, so it hasn't been all doom and gloom. - Ok. back to work. Taking TEXAS ARLINGTON here. Yesterday we had a similar game to this. MidTenSt over UTEP. Big line. The dog looks easy. Texas State won the first match-up. Well, that was when TA was right out of non-conference play. They played some real teams. Which is why I like them. They scheduled up, and it is paying off.

Taking NORTH CAROLINA here. Time slot is a boon for Duke after that tough affair with UL. These guys split their games this year. NC put in a workman like game over Miami and just drubbed The U to death by 25. It was a nice way to start the day as we went 3-0 at noon. Duke had to battle back, and if it was for horrible FT shooting, UL would be in this game. Forget the gambling aspect. I can't understand how these kids today can chuck the ball from 30FT, but can't hit a FT with nary a soul guarding you. All I do is teach my kids basketball team FT shooting! They are FREE THROWS - ok, back to this game. These guys have played 2 high scoring games already. But it's tourney time. I expect a bit of a slow down. Especially with Duke off that kind of game. I think NC is the team to beat. 10* Money Bomb NORTH CAROLINA

Taking IOWA STATE here. How am I not taking these guys? Cashed them yesterday. Said on my Big 12 Tournament Talk video that these guys +700 were our dark-horse play. And now they get TCU off a huge upset. Now, regular season and opening rounds of tournament, I will fade away on a line I think is short. TCU had dropped 7 straight coming into the Big 12 Tournament. Now they have 2 wins under their belt. You have 14-15 losses, I don't there is any way you should be in the NCAAs. Stop with this 6-7-8th team in these big conferences. Give me the Belmonts and Monmouths, mid-major madness. I think the bell tolls for Cinder-Fella tonight. Cyclones the better team. So the Horned Frogs won 2 straight. Iowa State won this thing in 2014 as a 4 seed and 2015 as a 2 seed. 8* Sure Shot IOWA STATE

A short line in a 3/6 battle. Conference wins not that much different 11 for Towson. 8 for Northeastern. Teams split on the year, each winning on own home courts. But Northeastern comes in a limping a bit. 2-6 their last 8 with a pair of 1pt wins. And one of those was in OT. I can only think that Northeastern will be getting some players back. As of now, they have a real short bench missing a couple scorers. I think they get 2nd leading scorer Alex Murphy back. But G Begley is still up in the air. Both Murphy and Begley played in the season splits combing for 26 and 28 in the 2 games. Towson had won 7 of 8 before dropping a pair on the road to close the season.

They also have been shooting the ball a lot better down the stretch. These guys might be cutting down the CAA nets if all goes right. 4* Money Maker CHARLESTON

---Weekly + Monthly Followers... Be sure to check your mail as lines come up late ------- Taking OKLAHOMA STATE here. Have to go back to our Top 10* on West Virginia laying points to #1 Baylor last time I liked a ranked match up like this. Forget about West Va who was a Top 10 team at the time laying points. We have a totally 'unranked' team over the #1. Disclaimer. I did have Kansas the other night and they failed to cover double digits. Should have used my head a little better and fade the newly minted #1 in their first game. That being said. The Cowboys in their final home game vs the top dogs in the land? Should be a wild one for us. Kansas also knows it just needs to win the Big 12 Tourney, which they do in their sleep, to lock up a 1 seed in the NCAAs. Oklahoma State on a 10-2 ATS run last 12 and 5-2 ATS last 7 at home vs Kansas. 10* Money Bomb OKLAHOMA STATE

Taking SOUTHERN ILLINOIS here. Why wouldn't this be a close, ugly game? 50-46, 60-53 tell us this will be a defensive battle. Even though Illinois State went 18-1 in conference (Wichita), they are not really designed to be a blow-out winner most nights. In a close game, the crowd will be with the Salukis and the Red Birds might start to feel the pressure as a tight game progresses. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

Taking OKLAHOMA here. I know that TCU is suppose to be a bubble team. But come on. They have dropped 6 straight. They will flip the switch on the road all of a sudden. Sooners in their final home game of the season. And you know when I see 10 wins laying to 17 wins it will peek my interest. TCU 1-6 ATS last 7 on the road and 1-7 ATS vs Big 12. Oklahoma on the other side of things on a perfect 5-0 ATS run. 4* Money Maker OKLAHOMA

Taking WOFFORD here. Honestly, what a slide for the Mocs. I thought these guys would win this conference. And here they are, limping in as the #4 seed and with 4 straight losses. Chattanooga won both regular season game (11 and 8) but that seems like an eternity ago. Mocs 3-13 ATS as faves and 3-14 ATS last 17. Wofford 10-3 ATS run as dogs. 4* Money Maker WOFFORD

Taking VIRGINIA here. Have to say, you know me. Not a big fan of laying double digits. But I think we have a couple good angles working in our favor. 1. We have senior day to close out the regular season. The fans will be pumped up. 2. Revenge. No way we look past a team that beat us by 12. (we cashed Pitt with that OT win). Virginia had a 4 game slide (2 OT losses) but have rebounded their last 2 taking care of NC and NCST. They held NC to just 43 points. That is the Tarheels lowest point total in 38 years. So, safe to say the defense will show up here. Pitt comes sliding in having dropped 3 straight and 4 of 5. Right now Pitt is a 14 seed for the ACC tournament. What are they playing for today? 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA

Just a little Opinion play on ST FRANCIS here. They both won on each others courts this year with Wagner needed OT to win by a bucket. Francis won by 5. Both teams with 12-7 conference records. Looking at the numbers though, Francis rates a bit of an edge across the board. +4.5 is nice, but I think that the Red Flash win this one outright.

Taking MURRAY STATE here. A 7 seed as a small dog every time. Murray had a down year after being picked to win the west finishing 3rd. But here they come. They did drop 3 straight coming into tourney play. But found them favored in the opening round against the 6 seed. They then took care of business vs 3 seed Morehead last night and we cashed them as a best bet (had them as Best Bets in both games). So we again will be on board the Racers express. +135 is ok if you want to go ML. Both teams won their home games in the series this year. Jonathan Stark with 37 last night and 41 the night before, seems to putting the team on his shoulders. Tenn Martin is sitting, rested with a double bye. Fresh memory of beating Murray to end the regular season last week. 5* Best Bet MURRAY STATE

Taking CAMPBELL here. Will be honest, nearly went Radford. I mean. Do we really expect 56% shooting from the field again tonight? 53% from 3? Probably not. Now. Both teams in off upset wins. So they both know they are a game away from the championship. They are playing with house money. The Camels won both meetings this year. They grinded out a 3pt home win when both teams shot 38% just a week ago. And they won by 17 as a 3pt dog when they shot a blistering 57% from the floor and 52% from 3. Stop me if that sounds familiar. Have to take the team with a bit of a hotter hand here. 4* Money Maker CAMPBELL CAMELS
