Taking the team with literally all the momentum in the world right now.  UCLA was in the play in game, yes the play in game vs Michigan St and are now here with a chance to go to the final 4.  Bruins have guards everywhere and several can give you 20.  Dickinson is going to have to play great in order for Michigan to win let alone cover.  I will take UCLA and all the points.

IMO here there is no choice but to take USC.  I think they will present a ton of matchup issues for the Zags here because of the zone they play but also the length they have.  This will be something very unfamiliar with Gonzaga. We all know how good they are yes and the line reflects that but USC has been nothing but impressive all tournament long.  I actually think they have a great chance for the outright win.

Wrong team is favored here in this game.  If you watched the whole Iowa Oregon game you saw a team that literally can run with anyone.  They have size and shooters across the board as well.  The reason is that Oregon had COVID issues throughout the season plus their best player Durarte was hurt for a while.  They are now finally healthy and look out for this team! USC might have the Mobley brothers but they dont have the guards to match up here

I'm not sure when the PAC 12 will get some love but regardless you're taking them here.  UCLA has weapons and length along shooters.  That is a deadly combo come tournament.  Also to mention Cronin running the show at coach.  Bama is good take nothing away but this teams are very similar so give me all the points. 

Little confused by Houston laying this number.  They really should have lost vs Rutgers last game with a crazy comeback in the final 2 minutes.  Cuse right now clearly looks under seeded from the standpoint because they didn't have sharp shooter Buddy who is clearly making an impact on both ends right now.  Cuse is live here for a nether win and I wouldn't put it past them. 

This is no surprise here that USC is favored here despite it being a 6 vs 3 game.  I think Kansas is over seeded and USC under seeded.  This USC team most haven't seen play but they have size with the Mobley brothers which will be a handful for KU.  I also don't think KU guard play is good enough to off set anything.  USC wins easily.

I am taking Colorado here on the ML.  I was just extremely impressed with how they played vs Georgetown and I think it's being over looked.  FSU only won by 10 despite shooting over 50% and UNCG shooting 32%.  FSU does have talent no doubt about it but I think Colorado is the real deal here.  

I know the Bruins are playing their 3rd game here but this team really passes the eye test and this is too short of number to pass up on.  The Bruins have guards everywhere and can flat out shoot the ball.  I give ACU credit for an impressive win no doubt but give me the hot hands of the Bruins right now.  

I know the PAC 12 is on fire right now and it's hard to go against them but I think Iowa is being under looked here.  This is also quite a trendy upset most people are having and I just think Oregon will struggle to defend Garza down low.  Iowa wins by double digits.  

North Texas really controlled the game vs Purdue.  They were hit several times with some runs but managed to hold them off and I was very impressed by that.  I think this team is playing with a ton of confidence and Nova may have covered RD 1 vs Winthrop but I think they are seeing a different animal tonight. 

I think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  I really like the Razorbacks here in this game.  This team isn't getting enough credit and I love how they were tested in their first game and once it came together they blew out Colgate.  Tech is the darling pick and I think its a good fade 

I'm taking Cute here in this game.  I think they showed a lot in game 1 against SDSU and just literally smoked them.  It was one of the most impressive wins fro mRD 1 IMO.  I think the matchup and style of play favors Cuse as well.  

I think this is a horrible match up for Wisky here.  I also think they won't shoot 50% again from 3 like they ddi against UNC.  Baylor has tremendous size and big time athletes across the board.  Wisky needs this game in the 50's and I don't see it.  Baylor rolls 

I really like USC here against Drake.  Drake was just horrible on offense vs a bad Shockers team and the length of USC will be a problem.  I also think the PAC 12 is underrated in this tournament the Mobley brothers will be a problem for Drake.  

I'm going to take the Bonnies here in this game.  The betting public will be all over LSU for the fact they come from the SEC and also they made it to the SEC title game and lost to Bama but gave them a great game losing by 1.  The Bonnies are a veteran group playing well right now and can really defend which I think will cause problems for LSU 

I love Colorado here laying a short number vs Georgetown.  The Hoyas are getting all sorts of love now that they ran the table and won the Big East.  Lets not forget that this G Town team was 4th from last in the league. This Colorado team was 3rd in the PAC 12 and nearly won the conference and the conference tournament.  I think the route is on here for Colorado 

I think we have seen this story before where everyone complains about Cuse being in the tournament and then they go win a game or two.  I think this should be a PK honestly and SDSU is living off their name from last season.  Cuse is a dangerous team, Aztecs traveling clear across country something they clearly aren't use to. 

This Rutgers team really underachieved this season but boy do they have firepower here.  They have a legit pro in Ron Harper and a good guard in Baker to go along side him.  Clemson here just played well against some bad teams.  Mind you this Clemson team lost by 26 to Duke.  They started off the season so hot beating legit teams but teams adjusted and their true colors showed give me Rutgers. 

Im surprised this isn't higher actually.  UNC has underachieved IMO this season but you can't ignore their talent here and vs a team like Wisky it's a large large gap.  I think the style of the Badgers player here is going to hurt them big time against this long team as you want to get out and run against them when you're smaller.  UNC is one to look out for.  Wisky just 2-6 SU their last 8 games. 

This Liberty team is no joke and I think Oklahoma St is now a public darling team with their stud freshman.  The thing is for me though that Libery has been battle tested here.  They have beat power 5 teams like South Carolina and Miss St.  Played teams tough in losses like Purdue and Missouri.  They won't be scared here of this game.  I think this has potential upset on it

This Oral Roberts team is battle tested big time.  While they didn't win any of the games they played @ Mizzou, @ Oklahoma St, @ OU, @ Wichita St, @ Arkansas.  This Ohio St team wont scare them one bit.  Ohio St is a team that doesn't really have that go to guy.  Oral Roberts shoots the ball very well from deep @39%.  I think they keep it close for comfort here 

I will take Texas Tech here as I simply trust Beard to get the job done.  They have the guard play here lead by Mclung who is a guy you look for come tournament time to ride deep into the tournament.  The talent is there for Tech no doubt about it.  I think he Mountain West was very down this season and the Aggies have a good record but competition is a big step up here for them

I really dont understand this line here.  I mean Arkansas is a very good team playing very good right now.  They lost there SEC title game to snap their 9 game winning streak all the way back to Feb 2nd.  The talent gap is huge here and Colgate played one of the weakest schedules you could have asked for in the country.  Arkansas shouldn't have any issues here.

I'm a big fan of this Va Tech team here in this match up.  This team was ranked in the top 25 for most of the season and starters out 12-3 and really caught people by surprise.  I think they are very underrated here in this game.  Florida I just think has a name quite honestly here.  The are 1-3 their last 4 with that win being a single digit victory over pathetic Vandy.  I think Va Tech wins this easily.

I love Florida St here tonight.  This team has played now a coupler games and honestly Georgia Tech doesn't even deserve to be here with Virginia having a positive case last week.  The Yellow Jackers wouldn't even have been here if it were for that.  This Florida St team is long and nasty and have layers everywhere. I love them tonight 

I really like Texas here intros game tonight.  Everyone will fall in love with Oklahoma St here beating Baylor and also Cade Cunningham.  They deserve some credit no doubt but Texas a loaded team as well and a team that can make a deep run into the tournament.  I think they win easily tonight 

This two teams dont like each other at all here.  I think we are getting a great price here on Iowa. They matchup very well with them.  I also think people will look at Illinois beating Iowa already and blowing out Rutgers yesterday they will jump on them.  Iowa I think wins this game

I know Weiskamp is out for Iowa and don't get me wrong it is a huge loss but Iowa is a very deep team.  They have won 7 of their last 8 games and are trending in the right direction.  Wisky has no answer for Garza down low either.  

I definitely want no part of G Town here.  They are coming off a huge upset yesterday over Nova but Nova had that huge injury which has clearly affected their team.  So I'm not putting much stock into it and I think Seton Hall is a dangerous team and shouldn't have an issue here.

I like the Vols here in this game.  Florida is just being one valued here for a team that was barely above 500 in the SEC.  Tenn had a hot start to the season but soon cooled off but I think they match up well against them and get the job done.

Purdue won both meetings this season and quite frankly I like the makeup better of their team.  Purdue is playing extremely well right now winning 5 straight and 6 of their last 7 games.  Ohio St on the other hand is limping into this tournament with 4 straight losses.  Painter is the better coach here and I trust the Boilermakers to get it done.

Texas Tech is one of my sleepers team come tournament time this season.  I think they have all the makeup to make a deep run like we saw couple years ago.  They also have the coach to do it as well.  Texas on the other hand is talented but I just think it's a bad matchup for them as they are 0-2 against them this season.  Texas lost to them despite shooting over 50% for the game

I will take UNC again here tonight.  I just love the make up of this team and yes they vastly underachieved this season but I think we are seeing them click at the right time.  That was beyond impressive last night what they did to Notre Dame.  UNC rolls again here

I will lay it with Virginia here.  I know Virginia was favored by 5 at home so you could say we are paying a premium here but they are just so much better.  They destroyed them in the first meeting.  Cuse had a nice win yesterday but I just think this is a cheap price for a team of this caliber 

I'm more just putting my trust in Coach Cal here today with this game.  Kentucky is playing a lot better right now going 4-2 their last 6 with both losses being by single digits.  I wouldn't be suprsised at all if they made a little run here.  I think this is a cheap price.  

Let's take Sparty here in this game.  Michigan St finished the season well going 5-2 their last 7 with some big wins like Michigan, Illinois and Ohio St to get into the tournament.  They also suffered a nasty lost during that time to Maryland.  Spraty shot 33% from the field for that game which we know wont happen again.  Sparty wins this game and they really need it.

I like West Virginia here.  I really love this angle during this time of year.  WVU just lost to Oklahoma St and were 10 point favorites in that game.  We are getting a major discount here fro a neutral court game.  The Cowboys shot nearly 58% from the field for the game and WVU was horrible all the way around.

I will lay it with UNC.  I'm actually pretty high on this team going forward as they create matchup issues with their length.  Notre Dame made a crazy comeback vs Wake as they were down double digits most of the game then hit a buzzer beater.  UNC is a sleeper

All the injuries here for the Gophers I believe have taken their tole.  This team has lost 6 straight and they clearly have quit on the season.  While NW isn't very good they clearly haven't as they enter winning 3 straight.  NW wins this easily.

Duke beat down a horrible Boston College team yesterday and are now laying points against Louisville?  Nah I want nothing to do with them here.  They were very hot shooting yesterday and but have been inconsistent all season long.  Wrong team favored here

Butler @ Xavier were 12 point dogs and lost by 12.  I think Butler is just a bad basketball team here and especially on the road as they have a 1-10 record.  I want nothing to do with them.  Xavier has handed them both times by double digits and see no reason they won't gain today

Oregon St is quietly one of the better teams that no one is talking about at all.  They in fact already beat Oregon @ Oregon earlier this season.  They have covered 7 straight games and aren't getting the respect they deserve. 

I will take TCU here in this rivalry game.  TCU will be hungry here to end the season on a positive note.  I think we get a big effort here from the Horned Frogs.  Big let down spot here for Texas coming off a huge win on the road @ Oklahoma 

I will lay it with Maryland here.  They are coming off an ugly ugly loss @ Northwestern and already lost to Penn St so a nice revenge game here.  Penn St coming off their best performance of the season as well I think setting up for a let down.

I will take Tech here in this game.  Baylor isn't playing the greatest right now and quite frankly this one really means nothing to them today. They have only covered once in the last 6 games.  Tech is 6-3 their last 9 and they match up well with Baylor

Iowa is starting to play their best ball of the season right now.  I think they win going away here against a Badger team that is trending in the wrong direction.  Iowa won by 15 @ Wisconsin and they really dont have an answer for anyone down low.  That was also without CJ who means a ton to this Iowa team.

UNC should be favored by more here.  They handled Duke the first time around I gully expect it this time also.  UNC really needs this win as they are a semi bubble team.  UNC should just own them down low. Duke now knows its fate and even though it's a rivalry I think UNC wins easily 

Big time game here for Ohio St. Illinois is off the biggest win of the season over Michigan in a blowout actually.  I think that is setting up for a big let down.  Ohio St has lost 3 straight but have also had a week off here and I think the bounce back. 

I will taker the Bruins here on the ML.  UCLA was just embarrassed in the first meeting and I think this is a great spot here for them.  USC is just 2-3 SU their last 5.  UCLA off back to back losses but both of those were on the road. 

I think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  Louisville is 9-1 SU at home this season.  Virginia is just 2-6-1 ATS their last 9.  Virginia just barely beat them the first time around and were favored by the same number.  I think with that Louisville should be favored here 

Missouri has really struggled here toward the end of the season after a crazy hot start. LSU on the other hand is playing well.  I just dont trust LSU on the road who is just 3-7 ATS.  Missouri coming off a nice road win @ Florida I think sparks them 

I love Providence here.  Nova is missing their best player with an injury and I think it's a lot bigger blow than what odds makers are thinking especially given when this injury took place this part of the season.  Providence is on the outside looking in but a win here would be huge 

Too many here for Purdue to be laying in this rivalry game.  Indiana was just horrible in the first matchup only hitting 3 threes for the game.  Hoosiers know this is a big chance for a late statement win and I believe they put forth a big effort.

I wil take the Sooners here tonight who have lost 3 straight games and a back to back with their rivals Oklahoma St. This is a great spot for them to bounce back against another rival.  Texas is a team I don't trust on the road.  

I know Iowa St is bad, but this is so many for Tech to be laying especially for a team that doesn't exactly light up the scoreboard on offense. Tech has a huge look ahead here with Baylor on deck.  

I will bite here and take Purdue.  They should be favored by more here which is why it smells funny. Badgers aren't trending in the right direction just 2-4 their last 6.  Purdue has won 4 of their last 5.  

I will take Georgia Tech here.  They have covered 5 straight games and won 4 straight here clearly playing their best ball of the season.  Duke finally lost for the first time without Johnson and I think now that is a blow to the team as they are on the outside looking in for the the Tournament now.   Duke only won by 7 first time around despite shooting 18 more free throws than Tech 

Tech laying 13 is just too many here in this game.  Tech finally snapped their 3 game losing streak beating rival Texas but their recent forum doesn't suggest they should be laying anywhere near this many.  

I will take West Virginia here. as they are hot winning 6 of their last 7 games playing very well.  Baylor on the other hand isn't I great form losing to Kansas and barely beating a bad Iowa St team.  

I like Iowa here today.  I think the Hawks are in a great bounce back spot after that loss to Michigan.  Iowa also blew a game vs Ohio St not to long ago as they were up double digits and went cold down the stretch.  I think we see them rise up and make a statement road win.

I'm taking Maryland here.  Sparty is riding high right now with a couple big wins but the spot here isn't ideal for them.  Terps have won 4 straight themselves.  I think classic let down here for Sparty off Illinois and Ohio St wins.  

I will gladly take all the points here with KU.  I think they aren't getting enough respect for being home here in this game.  KU coming off a tough loss @ Texas.  Baylor still only won by single digits in the first meeting despite shooting over 53% for the game.  KU is 11-1 at home this season

Well the Gophers seem to have quit on the season with a horrible performance last game vs Northwestern.  They have now lost 4 straight games and they key is that Minnesota hasn't won a road game all season long.  Nebraska has covered 4 of their last 7 and even took Illinois down to the wire losing in OT

I think Iowa St get their first conference win here today.  This team still does play hard despite being horrible.  They should have won at Baylor and blew a big double digit lead.  They also should have won at TCU.  

I like UNC here today.  FSU will be playing their 3rd straight road game and UNC is coming off a loss to Marquette which was a late added game.  I think UNC knows the importance here of this game.  They also probably have a sour taste in their mouth from the first meeting letting that game slip away in the final minute.  

Oklahoma will be motivated here against their rival the Cowboys who really beat them by 17 in the first meeting.  OU is the more talented team and with them coming off an ugly loss to Kansas St I think we see a nice back performance here.  

The Badgers are a tough team to figure out that's for sure.  They generally just dominate at home and that really hasn't bee the case this season.  I was actually going to be on them regardless here if Illinois had their best player or not.  The fact that Ayo is out only adds more value and I dont think the books have adjusted enough 

I like Davidson here in this game for the situation.  VCU is coming off a big time win over St Louis and I think this is a great spot to fade and the line is giving you a clue as well.  VCU is a solid team but just 5-5 ATS on the road and they are battling some injuries right now,  

I know this is square and the public side but Arkansas is quietly one of the hottest teams in the league. They have won 8 of their last 9 games and also have revenge here as LSU blew out Arkansas last month.  Arkansas is just playing with confidence right now and I dont wanna go against them 

I like Tech to end their losing streak here tonight.  I know Texas has revenge on their minds but but give me the more desperate team here as Tech has lost 3 straight.  

Indiana has a ton at stake here and will gladly lay it with them.  I think they are in the tournament but a win here would definitely seal the deal.  That being said I dont expect them to win but give the nature of this game I think they put forth big effort.  

Is Michigan St the normal Izzo squad we are use to seeing?  No, but I think if you have watched them this season you are seeing a different look here the last couple games.  Start matches up very well against the Buckeyes and with last games big win over Illinois I think we see them win again here tonight 

Both teams here are coming off ugly losses.  I think Stanford is a sneaky team here in this spot.  They were on a 5 game winning streak and they have big time revenge on their mind as Oregon blew them out in the first meeting.

This line smells funny to me but I think the Gophers should handle it pretty easy.  Minnesota has only lost one home conference game all year and it was last game and it was also their worst performance of the season.  NW is 1-8 on the road this season and they haven't won a game since the new year. 

Utah is 9-10 and UCLA is 16-5.  UCLA is only laying 1 point I wonder who the betting public will be all over??  Utah is the right side here.  Earlier UCLA was only favored by 2.5 which actually means that Utah should be favored here.  UCLA won that game by just 2 points but I don't trust the Bruins on the road as they are 3-7 ATS 

I will take Iowa here.  I think they are starting to turn the corner here and I also think Michigan is getting a ton of love because of coming off that win @ Ohio St.  The thing here is that Iowa matches up very well against them.  Garza and Dickinson is a must watch matchup.  With CJ back healthy for Iowa he just makes them that much more dangerous.

I will take the Cowboys here in this game.  I know Texas Tech has revenge on their mind from earlier this season but they aren't playing that well right now.  They haven't covered 4 straight games either.  Oklahoma St has won 4 of their last 6 with both of those losses being on the road.  

I had both of these teams over the weekend in wins.  I just think now Duke is getting a little to much love without Johnson.  Yes, they have played well but now laying this many seems like a stretch.  Cuse is playing well themselves going 4-1 their last 5.  I think we see a big effort tonight

I like Iowa here today.  The Hawkeyes had a rough patch a few weeks back but now have rattled off 3 straight wins and covers.  I think we are seeing them come into form and a lot of this is because their best shooter and most underrated player in Fredrick is back.  Penn St had an all out effort last game vs Ohio St and blew and lead and ultimately the cover.  I think a tough one to come back from.

I like the Buckeyes here.  There is no doubt that Michigan is a good team but they have also played an easier Big Ten schedule than most.  The Buckeyes are playing great ball. right now themselves and I just think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  

Maybe there was something to Johnson leaving for Duke the highly touted freshman.  This Duke team really showed up following that news.  And maybe it means nothing or it was just that game but I pay attention to things like that as it was a Duke performance we hadn't seen this season.  I'm gonna back them again here against an overrated Virginia team. 

I like UNC here tonight to win big.  They have been a pretty dissapeointng team to say the least as they do have talent across the board. UNC is 7-0 at home this season and Louisville quite frankly doesn't pass the eye test to me.  I think they are much overrated this season and also just 3-3 on the road.  

LSU coming off two nice wins as slight underdogs and now look for revenge following a 1 point loss earlier this month to Auburn,.  Auburn really slipping as of late just 1-4 SU their last 5 games.  LSU is a sneaky team folks pay attention to them.

I mean you have to take the Gophers here at home.  All they have done this season is literally win nearly every home game with a 13-1 record and have covered 11 of those.  They can't cover a road game to save themselves and this is a great spot here.  

WVU let the first meeting between these to slip away as they should have won fairly easily.  I think the revenge here is huge for this game.  Longhorns aren't playing the greatest and have only covered once in their last 8 games 

Missouri has lost 3 straight and are so much better. than how they have  been performing.  I think it's fair to say that South Carolina has mailed it in for the season so with that we are getting a big discount here in Missouri. 

This line smells bad but we are taking Cues anyways.  They are 10-1 at home this season and just much better than ND. They have hopes for the NCAA Tournament and a loss here would be a tough one.  ND getting some respect because they have covered 5 straight and 7 of their last 8

This one is weird here.  I just have to think that there is a lot more going on in the Duke locker room than what anyone knows.  Their best player just left and clearly that is a distraction.  Throw in the fact that Duke isn't very good and it could be easy for the kids to throw in the towel.  Wake however doesn't care as they know it's Duke and they will give max effort.  Wake may not win a lot of games but if you have backed them in the spread you're doing just fine as they have covered 9 of their last 11 games. 

I really like UNI here tonight.  These teams just met a week ago and Drake came out on top really putting it to them.  Well, Drake is off their biggest two games against Loyola and won 1 of those in OT which was the 2nd game.  This is a rivalry and I expect a big performance from the Panthers tonight. 

I like Butler here tonight.  They have covered 3 of their last 4 games and have won 3 of their last 4 home games.  This is also a quick revenge spot here as Butler took Marquette down to the wire two weeks ago and lost by just 3.  The most impressive thing there is that Marquette shot 61% from the field for the game and still barely won.  

St Johns was quietly one of the hottest teams in the country and literally no one was talking about them.  Prior to their last loss they had won 6 straight and 7 of their last 8 games.  I think Xavier is one of the most overrated teams in the league as their record shows a different story but just watch them play.  St Johns will be out for revenge in as they lost earlier this season to them

I will take Iowa St here tonight.  You have to think this team is some what motivated not to get O for in the conference this season.  They have. covered 3 of their last 5 plus I don't believe Oklahoma St is a team that should be laying double digits.  Last game for example they were laying 13.5 against Kansas St and only won by 7.  This big favorite role isn't the spot I want the Cowboys in 

I trust Florida St here tonight woh is 10-1 at home this season.  The Seminoles just played their first game in two weeks so they were a little sluggish but prior to that they had covered 5 of their last 6.  I dont trust Virginia on the road and this is by far the hardest opponent for them on the road this season.
