Making the tourney odds

[HoopsGuru]

guys i like a few of these props offered by wwts, let me know what you think pro/con on making the tournament.

Uab (No) -130
Indiana (No) +160
Texas (Yes) -260
Notre Dame (Yes) -150
WVU (Yes) +160
Nc St (Yes) +170

Seems like texas is an easy pick to get to the tourney. they are 19-9 with a game vs ok st remaining and the big 12 tourney, whats everyone thoughts? thanks

Dont think so on NC State, just depends on if the committee has ACC envy. As for Texas, look at the whole picture. They are 5-7 since losing Aldridge and Tucker. The RPI has fallen to 47, and will drop a tad more when they lose tomorrow. They have zero quality road wins. I think the value in the line favors No. I think they probably sneak in, but I wouldnt bet on them.

Agree with Sun here on Texas, they'll probably slip in, but I wouldn't lay that kind of chalk on them. There last 12 games have been less than impressive. Like the Indiana play though that's a nice price for a team I do not think will get in.

yeah, that makes sense about texas, i'll definitely stay clear of that one. totally forgot about their recent failures and injury problems plus the large amount of juice on that wager. i think indiana and notre dame are the ones im leaning to the most.

If NC St. wins Sun, they are in period. That's a big if though with Wake coming to town. 8-8 and other bubble teams slipping should be enough.
