Every Book (at least the ones I use) took their sweet time putting up lines for many games. I finally said "f_-k it" and went to bed.
The "Ole" Miss/Missouri Over got me healthy again, so feeling optimistic about the controlled chaos that is the Conf Tournies with start times all over the board. As most of you know (this is for guys new to this) be careful because Conf Tournament games have very different ways of playing playing their games... What I mean to say is some Conf Tourn games start with true home vs visitor matches at the higher seeds house (then will transition into a neutral site) for the Semis or Finals.
Some Conf Tournies games are actually played at whatever school is up to host (pre-scheduled) so while all the games are played in a true neutral venue, one of the schools is the home host and has a very high advantage. This has screwed me up in the past, as some websites (ESPN, CBS Sports, Yahoo) or whatever site you use sometimes doesn't list the "neutral court" and if you are like me, my schematics/mock ups are adjusted significantly for Home Court-Visitor match-ups. Just have to be careful. I learned along time ago (the hard way) that extra effort needs to go into the intangibles that make up Conf Tournies throughout the country.
With all that being said.... Good Luck to everyone!
