Win

This region is very interesting to me and could have upsets everywhere. I will take Marshall here simply for one major reason and that is the fact that they can score the basketball averaging 84 points per game. That alone should be able to keep this close enough. I also think the fact this is played in San Diego favors Marshall as well, not because Marshall will have more fans, but the Shockers likely won't be making the trip either

I normally don't look to lay many points but this mismatch is glaring to me. Cal St Fullerton finished 4th in the Big West conference, so the fact they are here is extremely lucky in itself. They are now getting shipped a long ways away here which favors Purdue. They also cant match the length Purdue has and that will just wear them down and Purdue blows them out!

I have backed this San Diego St team a lot here the last few weeks. They are one of the hottest teams around right now. I had them circled as a team to back first round game simply based this winning streak of 9. I simply view these two teams as equal. I will gladly take the points in this game

I don't think Tech is getting enough credit here. This team is one of the few that play on both sides of the ball. They are now fully healthy and I think they believe they can make a run. SFA is a team with a lot of question marks as they always play one of the easiest schedules around and dominant a very weak conference. They are a known team, but I dont trust them

I thin this will be a common upset pick here, but I will take Loyola. They come from the MVC which in past years have made a lot of noise come tournament time. Loyola has players if you have seen them play they past the eye test easily. The line tells the story here to me.

I think this is a overreaction here to Azubuike injury. I'm not taking anything away from Penn, but this will be like a home game here for Kansas playing in Wichita. I'm really not going to go into depth here. The talent gap is huge and ultimately Kansas should pull away for an easy win.

I personally believe that this Oklahoma team shouldn't have made the tournament. The committee really messed up with this one but to no surprise they weren't gonna make Trae Young play in the NIT even though OU faltered big time down the stretch and doesn't deserve this. Rhode Island is no joke here and they got shafted on their seed IMO. I think they play with a big chip on their shoulder here and win fairly easily.

I like the Sun Devils here tonight to beat Cuse. I'm not exactly sure how Cus got into the tournament, but for me the talent level lies with ASU. I know ASU has really struggled down the stretch here, but 4 of their 5 losses were by single digits. They have the outside shooting which will help them a lot against the zone Cuse always plays.

I think Tennessee should be favored here in this game. I know the one hard thing the Vols have going against them is that it's hard to sweep a team 3 times in a season. I just think Kentucky who I have backed and won with the previous two games is now getting a lot of love based on those performances. Tennessee is the more complete team here and I actually like this team come tournament time next week

Well, if there is one thing you could have done blind this season is bet Miss St at home. They are a crazy 18-1 this season and while I know some were easy non conference games, it's still not that easy especially given how much the SEC has improved this year. Miss St is 7-2 SU their last 9 games. Their 2 losses being on the road and by a combined 5 points.

I think the wrong team is favored here in this match up. Iowa St has had a disappointing season no doubt about it, but I think they get the job done here tonight on another senior night game. Yes, they have injuries they are dealing with, but I really like what I saw last game only having 6 players @ West Virginia who is playing well and they covered the number. Oklahoma St laid it all on the line last game vs Texas losing by 1. Big look ahead as well with Kansas on deck

With Eric Gordon being out tonight for Houston that is a big loss as he does give Harden a lot more freedom than what people realize.

I dont think there can be much wind the sail let for Texas Tech. They lost a chance to win the Big 12 conference Saturday against Kansas.

Also Ohio St is having a great year, but they are just an average team on the road with a 7-5 SU record

Memphis was only an 8.5 point dog at home to Wichita St. I think this is a big over reaction

I really like Penn St a lot here in this match up for several reason. First, this is senior night so their final home game of the season. Penn St is playing great with their only two recent losses coming @ Michigan St and @ Purdue they covered both and probably should have won one of those. Penn St is playing for their NCAA tournament berth. Getting 10 conference wins in the magical number. I also think big let down spot for Michigan who is coming off beating Ohio St which I had Sunday.

Indiana is playing better as of late, but they are beating up on the bottom feeders in the conference. The Hooisers have shot over 55% from the field for 3 straight games that is highly unlikely to continue.
