Think Davidson will smoke Iowa as a dog.....Which 12 beats a 5 this year? Think Buffalo has a shot and SFA is always dangerous...

There, now I can read it.

So the MW # 7 is a 5 point favorite over MW # 10 while the MW #6 is a 1 point underdog to the MW # 11, while the MW # 5 is a 4 point favorite over the MW #12, while the MW #4 is a 4.5 point favorite over the MW #13. Vegas says this bracket is all wrong.

Therefore I'm taking Purdue and giving the point.

[Anthroshock]

KenPom has us as a 6 pt favorite over Indiana and a pick'em against KU.

Good points, I've have always said Vegas should set the Bracket, its the only way we would get a tru S-curve.

[WillieJeffJeffries]

Interesting that KU is the least favorite #2 seed at 11.5.

[Shocker-maniac]

A 7-seed a pick'em against a 2-seed? Great job, selection committee.

[WillieJeffJeffries]

Posting ATS picks here for the tourney....probably going to lite a match to 2k but that's my budget, got lucky last nite with ole pizz, poor Mormons..

Sticking with the dog tonite, taking Boise, I know it's a home game for Dayton, but Boise is good and prob pressure on UD to win at home, I'll take the points

BSU +4 ......110/100
NCAA record 1-0 100

Ps, if anyone else wants post plays or takes on games feel free, I also look for advice/info

[Slalomshocker]

The only games I like at the posted spreads are West Virginia, Maryland and Iowa St. I probably feel most confident in Iowa St. I'd tease a lot of these though.

[RoyalShock]

I changed the font color in the OP to Automatic, so it should be readable using any of the skins. If not, let me know with a reply here.

[shocka khan]

I saw on ESPN yesterday where the BPI projections give our Shockers a 69% chance of winning. I like those odds.

[WillieJeffJeffries]

like Christmas morning

Neastn +2-0 so far

[WillieJeffJeffries]

Loops, meant Northeastern Plus 12
