Ole Miss(3)
Arizona(2)

I love the Wildcats.Arizona has the talent and athletism to beat down anyone.Highly touted,hot,and media backed this team is favored by 12.5.However,I feel this game is where the books make out tonight.It will balance the hit the books take on the Illinois win.Ole Miss will hang tough.
Public loves the heavy chalk.

Arizona 79
Ole Miss 71
Take Ole Miss and the 12 and a half.

Old-Timer,

I think Kansas will beat Illinois (the weakest #1 seed in the tourney) tonight. . . they are playing some incredible ball right now.

However, I would not take Ole Miss on the basis that Vegas will even out their books! Since when has anybody made a pick based on that logic?!?! Maybe I have something to learn, but always make your picks based on picking the better team or valued team instead of trying to outguess Vegas!

Actually, i am not trying to Outguess Vegas.
I posted the Wildcats are hot,highly touted,and media backed,and also that the Public is all over the Wildcats.Siting Value in Ole Miss and +12.Betting they will hang tough and stay inside the number.

O yeah,BearDownAZ
I wish it was as easy as picking the better team.

Old-Timer,

I meant picking the better team after considering the line! If you think Ole Miss is the better team with 12 points, then by all means pick them! However, if you are picking Ole Miss because you think the odds will even out after the Illini win, then you're still guessing!

Old Timer,

Public loves the heavy chalk?

Those who are losing love the heavy chalk.

They would rather put their money on a team that "should win", than a team that "might win."

I agree!!! A friend of mine once stupidly said to me "It's tough to bet a 'dog' when you are hooked $." And I do not agree with him , I think that is how most "rookies" think.(and this is another road to ruin I would think)....Spanky....
