Tourney: 16-20 -$220
We're getting closer...
Depending on when you bet, either 3 dogs or 3 favs won, yesterday.
San Diego St +7.5 440/400
Biggest worry: Bama gets up DD...not too confident the Aztecs are built to come back (or even) cover something like that, but my thinking is they won't have to. It's hard to get a gauge them after their first 2 rounds (although CofC and Furman are 2 of the better non-power conference teams out there), but one thing is for certain: they will not be afraid of the big, bad, Tide. No ML, but they make Bama sweat, profusely.
Miami +7.5 1100/1000
Miami 1st half +4 1100/1000
Miami ML 200/560
Miami 1st half ML 200/400
Yep...
Cougs are awesome, and my love affair with the U this year (every year?) may be my downfall, but this is worth the risk, to me. These teams really aren't that different, with the exception of depth (Cougs have a lot; Miami, not so much). Both have fantastic guards, 1 really good big/semi-big, and good role players. Neither of these teams rely on freshman (yes, Jarace is good, but it's not his team). Coaching edge: Larranaga > Sampson... Miami has had a tendency to get up early only to blow leads (which they did against Indy before blowing them out). 100% engagement and focus should not be an issue especially against a #1 seed. Come on, Cane-train!
Xavier +4.5 330/300
Not really a fan of X, but can't deny that when they have been good this year, they have been REALLY good. We saw that against Pitt. We also saw the opposite of that against Kennesaw St. Will Jekyll or Hyde show against Texas? Me thinks Dr. Jekyll.
No play on Creighton/Princeton. Would be difficult not to back Tigers even though they are severely out-talented by the Bluejays (which has been par for the course in their beatings against Zona and Mizzou, too). The line seems right, but not worth the stress of a DD cover either way.
