20 Dime: KANSAS (minus the points vs. Davidson)
15 Dime: MEMPHIS (minus the points vs. Texas)
5 Dime: HEAT (plus the points vs. Celtics)
Kansas
I will not knock the Davidson Wildcats. What this team has done, led by the remarkable Stephen Curry, is beyond impressive, not only to get to the Elite Eight, but winning 25 games in a row in the process. All this said, though, Cinderella?s carriage is turning into a pumpkin tonight, as Kansas is just too damn talented, too damn athletic and too damn deep for Davidson. As many of you know, I stated way back in November that Kansas was my favorite to win it all, and aside from the occasional hiccup here and there, the Jayhawks have done nothing to sway my opinion ? particularly what they?ve done through their first three Tournament games. After crushing Portland State by 24 points (as expected), Kansas buried a solid UNLV squad 75-56 as a 13?-point chalk, then pounded Villanova on Friday in a game that was not nearly as close as the 72-57 final indicated.
To get a firm grasp on just how impressive Kansas has been to this point, consider these numbers; The Jayhawks outscored their first three opponents by an average of 19 points per game (77-58), and again that could be greater had they not let off the gas against Villanova. What?s more, they have shot a ridiculous 55 percent from the field, while allowing their opponents to make just 34 percent of their attempts. But that?s not all: From three-point range ? which is where Davidson makes its living ? Kansas is shooting 43.9 percent. Their opponents? 26.5 percent (17-for-64).
Now check this out: As incredible as Davidson has been in the Tournament so far, the Wildcats (45.5 percent) have shot worse from the field than their opponents (50 percent). Also, Davidson has 10 fewer rebounds than its opponents, getting out-boarded in all three contests! That tells right there how much the Wildcats (mostly Curry) have relied on the three-pointer.
So I ask you: If Gonzaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin ? three defensive-oriented teams that don?t have nearly the kind of explosiveness offensively as Kansas ? can make half of their shots against Davidson and outrebound Davidson, what do you think the Jayhawks are going to do? Guys, Kansas is going to guard the perimeter fiercely tonight, and although Curry probably will get his ? the guy is a freak of nature ? I don?t see him getting much help, if any.
Lay the wood with Kansas, as the Jayhawks and Bill Self FINALLY get to the Final Four ? and do so in convincing fashion.
Memphis
I told you on Friday that the Memphis Tigers have been underrated. overlooked and disrespected by everyone all season long (including by me). And I told you that the players on this team ? which, I remind you, is 36-1 on the season ? would absolutely use the slights as a source of motivation in Friday?s game against Michigan State. So what happened? The Tigers absolutely toyed with the Spartans all night, busting out to a 50-20 halftime lead and cruising to 92-74 victory that ? like Kansas? win over Villanova ? wasn?t nearly that close.
Well, here we are two days later and once again Memphis is getting dissed ? they?re barely favored over second-seeded Texas. And I promise you that coach John Calipari will have his players well aware of that fact coming into this game ? just as I promise you that his players will respond as they did against Michigan State. No, I?m not saying Memphis will dismantle Texas the same way they did the Spartans (although a double-digit win wouldn?t surprise me in the least). What I am saying, however, is that the Tigers? overall body of work is superior to the Longhorns?; their talent is superior to the Longhorns?; their height and length are superior to the Longhorns?; their depth is superior to the Longhorns?; and their coach is superior to the Longhorns?.
The only thing Memphis doesn?t do better than Texas: Shoot free throws, of course. By now we all know about the Tigers? struggles from the charity stripe (they shoot just 60 percent for the season). However, Texas (68 percent) isn?t all that much better. And when you just focus on the last five games, well, what do you know: The Tigers are shooting 63.7 percent from the foul line, compared with the Longhorns? 62.9 percent. Hmm ? And look at what happened Friday: Memphis drained 26 of 35 free tries (74.3 percent) vs. Michigan State, while Texas went 11-for-18 (61.1 percent) against Stanford. Get the point?
Look, as I said the other day, you can knock Memphis all you want. But you cannot argue the results. Not only have the Tigers won 36 of 37 games on the season, but they?ve defeated a slew of quality opponents, including Michigan State (by 18), Oklahoma (by 10), UConn (by 11), USC (by four), Georgetown (by 14), Arizona (by 13) and Gonzaga (by 8).
Bottom line: After two failed tries in the Elite Eight the last two years, Calipari and his Tigers finish the job tonight. Lay the ridiculously cheap price with Memphis.
Heat
I?ll state right off the bat that I cannot defend the Miami Heat in their current state, which is a borderline NBA D-League team right now without Shawn Marion and DwyaneWade. And I will not knock the Boston Celtics, who have reminded us over the last 10 days that they?re the best team in the NBA. But I?m sorry, you give me 20-plus points in an NBA game ? a game Boston will not take seriously, I promise you ? I simply have to take them on the principle alone. After all, three days ago Miami went to Detroit as a 20?-point underdog, jumped out to 23-18 lead after the first quarter, proceeded to get outscored by 18 points the rest of the way ? and still covered easily in an 85-69 loss. As a matter of fact, as bad as Miami has been, it has covered in four straight games (all as an underdog, obviously), and the Heat are 9-3 ATS in their last 12, including 5-1 ATS on the road.
Like I said, there?s now way that Boston, which has a road game at Chicago on Tuesday, will play with full intensity tonight. Remember, in a grueling 82-game season, gimme games like this are few and far between, so you can count on the C?s going through the motions tonight. And hell, even if they?re up 30 in the fourth quarter, they?re going to pull all the starters and the backdoor will be wide open. I know it seems ludicrous, folks, but take these huge points and ride Miami?s hot ATS streak.

Davidson vs. Kansas
Kansas head coach Bill Self is sweating big-time, talking a good
game about making defensive adjustments to win a game he has
never advanced from, with a team of scorers. Good luck, pal,
you'll need it. Davidson is just goin' out and playin' ball, running
and shooting 3s, and that drags Kansas into a shootout -- not
exactly twisting their players arms -- because a fast-paced game
where they can all point to their double-digit scoring totals and
wait to be patted on the head by somebody afterwards is what the
Kansas players would prefer. Anything different simply gives
Davidson a chance to hang around and be right there with a
chance to win at the end, so Kansas is playing against a
double-edged sword. Self blew some smoke talking up Davidson as
being "bigger" than most people realize. But they are not. Davidson's
6-8 players are relative stringbeans who will not be bumping Kansas
around and not taking them too much out of their offensive rhythm.

THE LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR) 100% confirmed
SELECTION: TEXAS vs MEMPHIS
Play: TEXAS +3.5 (CBB)
Comments: THE LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR) SELECTION: TEXAS +3.5 (CBB) Odd situation here. We never felt so square taking a dog before as you get that vibe it's a public play but seems like Texas is playing with a chip on their shoulder as if nobody is giving them a chance. While all the talk have been on the teams to the far extreme sides of the coasts, people are bypassing the Big 12. We are not going to make more of this play than it is. No need to try to impress you with stats in what should be a close game. Memphis is a quality team but haven't been a prize as far as ATS play. Texas is a perfect 3-0 vs Conference USA teams. Numbers for Memphis favor an under as opposed to a ATS cover which means a close game and getting the points in our direction gives us the edge here as Vegas is not giving away money so don't expect to ride the favorites to the finals. Lets take the dog in this one for the Sunday cash.
THE LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR) SELECTION: DALLAS vs NEW YORK
Play: DALLAS vs NEW YORK OVER 96 (ARENA FOOTBALL)
Comments: THE LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR) SELECTION: DALLAS vs NEW YORK OVER 96 (ARENA FOOTBALL) We don't normally rate plays as we are firm believers in flat wagering and not cherry picking plays but if we did rate, this would be a smaller play. Everything on paper lends itself to a Dallas blowout thus the Vegas line of 12.5 to 13 but anyone who followed us on the Philly win over New York knows we bascially got a little luck on our side as a last play INT for a touchdown got us a cover in what should have been a blowout. While other services would brag and take advantage of a break, we are honest with ourselves to know we caught a lucky break which keeps us off Dallas today as New york at home seems to play tougher. Looking at Dallas matchups this season and nothing suggests any cover beyond 10 points. Dallas should get the win today but in a league made for back door covers, we will opt to play the OVER. New York had no troubles scoring on league best Philadelphia and Dallas has had no problems scoring in the mid 50's to mid 60's. Take in the theory that we believe Dallas should only have a -10 line and that adds up to a game that should go over 100. You're looking at a 96 line. Take the Over in this matchup.
THE LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR) SELECTION: NEW ORLEANS vs COLORADO
Play: COLORADO -1 (ARENA FOOTBALL)
Comments: THE LAS VEGAS TECH REPORT (LVTR) SELECTION: COLORADO -1 (ARENA FOOTBALL) New Orleans ranks from first to fourth in all offensive categories yet they come in as the dog. This has trap written all over it as New Orleans should be the obvious choice. As we dig deeper we find that even though Colorado is 1-3 so far this season, we see from the Arena pages that Colorado is 7-3 last 10 home games. Head coach MIKE DAILEY is one win shy of becoming fourth coach in League history to reach 100 regular-season victories...QB JOHN DUTTON ranks fourth in League in completion pct. (67.6)...WR BEN NELSON has third-most receptions on third-downs (4)...FB/LB ROBERT THOMAS tied League lead in third and one rushing (100.0)...Defense ranks second in field goal pct. (16.7)...Defense ranks fifth in passing (253.3)...DB RASHAD FLOYD has recorded league-best 43 tackles over last six regular season games. New orleans is also nursing a host of injuries on the offensive line. We maybe getting tricked here, and LVTR was the first to be on the New Orleans bandwagon as we have called all their games perfectly this season when nobody gave them a chance but everyone has caught on and you can be sure that Vegas has too. Colorado at 1-3 will turn the squares off but as you can see from the tech stats, we maybe getting some value on an under the radar team with a solid home record which is a huge advantage when wagering Arena football
