Yes, Rutgers covered (should have won), but they did not...Houston will get their's against CUSE. Looking forward to a CUSE/Loyola Elite8 showdown!
Oregon did what I thought they would (pac10 teams have literally been unconscious from deep). Line for Zags is up to 16.5; I'm already in at +14.5 for Sooners. Later games:
LSU +5 (no shock here; fade BIG10); think Michigan has the better team concept and coach (Will Wade is turrible), but LSU has 4 NBA players in their starting 5 and they actually seem like they want to win (exhibits A-B: how they played against St. Bona and SEC tournament). Throw in no Livers (Michigan's most athletic wing), and oh yea, they are part of the Big10---gimme the pts
220/200
FSU -1.5 (the one exception against pac10 for me, but scared to death that Colorado keeps that conference train rolling); FSU's hang-up has never been talent, but showing up (don't ask Gonzaga that, though)...I think they do and grind out a W here to move on.
220/200
Alabama -5 (the last of the Big10 blunders---and this one could be uglier than Iowa's loss. MD had a nice W against a UCONN team that they matched up very well with. This one seems like the opposite. Sprinkling some ML on LSU, too, as I think the Big10 is gone from the tournament today)
275/250
USC -1 (another Pac10 demolition?) Potentially---Kansas has not really been "Kansas" all year; had the one W against Baylor---who was coming off a COVID layoff---and they just don't seem to have "that guy" when the heat is on. USC looks like an NBA team and I think they will control this one. I mean, how often has Kansas been a dog in the NCAA when they are the higher seed? Gimme the Trojans
