Taking TENNESSEE STATE. Mocs could be in for a long year. Or at least a long couple months. Already with a loss (11pts) on the road to another Ohio Valley team, EKU, Chattanooga gets a team I think is a bit better, albeit they are home. Not sure they should be trusted as a fave though. After Game 1, looks like a lot of offense going through their sophomore PG. 3-13 for Commander from the floor. LY as a frosh he shot 34% and 27% from 3. If he is the starting point. Oh. Could be bumpy. Wesley Harris comes over from West Virginia. He should find the going a bit easier than what he faced in Big 12 night in, night out. This team though is just big. 4 guys shorter than 6'6 so they can really run some size at people. TSU in off a tune-up cup cake where they look like world beaters. But, they are better than Eastern Kentucky who handled the Mocs. 4* Money Maker TENNESSEE STATE

Taking SOUTHERN UTAH. I'll tell you what. I was thinking about Cornhuskers in this spot. Getting smashed at home by Big West Cal Riverside. Now they have Big Sky Thunderbirds coming to town. This team has a bunch of upper class in the starting lineup. 5 guys who scored more than 9ppg last year. They have experienced guard play. They have 6 transfers from Power Conferences on the roster. Basically what Nebraska is trying to do with their guys coming from Robert Morris, Gulf Coast, Pitt and Seattle. Losing by 20 at home to a team that hasn't had a winning season in 19 years is something to take notice of. Not sure they should be favored over an experienced program, small school or not. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN UTAH

Off a loss of key player, vs a conference foe. Double revenge on the season. Everything lined up. Now, not so much. I get that these guys have been great in this tournament. Really just a couple hiccup spots of poor play. But I said all season I believed Virginia looked a bit different. They are 2 wins away from getting away from last years epic loss. I think that is a huge motivation factor for them. They have been tested and responded. I think Auburn has peaked and this is a double digit loss for them 5* Best Bet VIRGINIA

Taking TEXAS SOUTHERN. Had these guys already in this tournament. I told you about their more than solid non-con schedule that got them primed for a nice run like this is a smaller tournament. I don't like them falling behind at half though. The OTs in the tourney do scare a bit. But, on the positive side of things, they know they can fall behind, battle back, and win, in OT, on the road! Sign me up again. 4* Money Maker TEXAS SOUTHERN

Taking LIPSCOMB, again. Have been on these guys all NIT long and will do it again. This is a good team. Shame they didn't get a shot at the NCAAs - but they are making the most of the NIT with a run here to MSG. Wichita State has really turned it on going 14-3 their last 17 games. But I think their shooting won't be enough to slow down the Bison. Just a bit too much for the Shockers to overcome. 4* Money Maker LIPSCOMB

Taking DUKE. Lost with these guys the other day. And I'll tell you, it is hard passing up those points. It just seemed to me that it was too many points. Maybe they were trying to get VT money. I dunno. I thought that line should have been about half of what it was. That being said, you have seen me write many times about lines I think are too good to be true. Sometimes we take the low hanging fruit, sometimes we go against it. This line is again, probably a point or 2 high. Have this as a PK in my ratings. The fact that Duke is living dangerously to say the least, doesn't have me too concerned. They have probably the best 2 players on the court. Coach K hopefully won't screw this up for us. At this price, I am backing what I think, is a team with 2, possibly 3 NBA Top 10 picks in this years draft. I do love Sparty and Izzo. I said in November this was a Final Four team. And really, every team this weekend you could have made a case for back when the season started, minus probably Auburn (I thought they were a Top 20 team.) Short price, backing the favorite Duke again. 4* Money Maker DUKE

Taking AUBURN. Hit a little bump in the road with our Sweet 16 action. Still a great month of college hoops. Look. Sometimes we take favorites. It didn't pan out Thursday/ Friday. Last week the first 4 days we were 18-6 and 5 points from 21-3. It happens. So in this spot I like the dog. We had Houston and NC last games out with these two. Houston, well, tough one. NC, totally run out in the 2nd half. I know Auburn loses Okeke, who is arguably their best all around player. But I think in this spot, it is next man up. They are playing Kentucky, a conference opponent who they know. There will be no surprises. Kentucky took both from the Tigers during the regular season. 82-80 on the road, and an all out ambush 80-53 in Lexington. Time for a little pay back. That was Auburn's last loss as they have reeled off 11 straight wins. Kentucky dancing with the fire lately. PJ back, but I am still on the dogs. 4* Money Maker AUBURN

Taking VIRGINIA. These guys hurt the bankroll on Thursday, but we are still backing them. I am not buying on Purdue. They have had some great runs of ball in this tournament. I mean, we had the Vols. They took the first half off. And not that I am bitter over losing in OT, but we had that game and let it slip away after a big comeback. Blame that loss on me for having faith in that crap coach. I said from the ACC tournament when we backed these guys - they are on a mission. This game is the regular season, it is probably higher. They were in a dog fight with the Ducks. I get it. You're scared to lay with them. It's a new day. New team. Tourney time, we throw out the last game. Just like we toss out the Boilermakers huge first half. We toss out their total collapse in the 2nd. 4* Money Maker VIRGINIA

Taking GONZAGA. Well. I was talking about coaching in our Pur/Va write up. Hats off to Texas Tech staff who have done an absolutely brilliant job this year. Tech is going to want to dictate the pace. And you know. I don't think it matters. Florida State seemed to play their game and that was a 72-58 point Gonzaga win. Tech not giving up points in the Dance, 44-58-57. I feel the Zags are on another level. We touched on their losses this year. Forget that WCC Championship Game loss. That was a total outlier. Neutral 3pt loss to Vols and 13pt road loss at NC in back to back spots. That's it. And we saw how good the Vols can be when they bring their total game. By the time you purchase this play, we will know if NC is advancing (I had them as a Best Bet Friday night). Tech is a very good team, for this price though, we are backing the fave. 4* Money Maker GONZAGA

Taking HOUSTON. Had these guys last game and they looked just as solid as I thought. Nearly played Kentucky as a premium play but opted for them on the free pick video. Look. Will I be shocked if Kentucky wins by a dozen. No. Will I be shocked if Houston wins this outright. No. First off, Washington may or may not play. And if he does, how healthy will he be? We saw them in an absolute dog fight with Wofford eventually getting a 6pt win. Houston slow and steady pulled away for a double digit win over OSU after handing Georgia State by about 30. Both teams go deep - But Cougars have their go-to leader and scorer in Davis. Who is that guy for Kentucky? Herro 2-11 and Hagans 4-11, Travis 5-10 last game. If McGee just hits a couple of his 4-17 0-12 from 3 shots, we can be taking Wofford/ Houston right now. Can never count out Wildcats with the yearly talent. But I will take a ML shot also on the dogs who are hungry to prove they below in Power 5 talk and aren't little brothers from the AAC. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON COUGARS

Taking DUKE. I liked UCF over Duke last game and cashed with Va Tech in their Round 2 game. On last Sundays NCAA Round Table where we talking after the selection show, I said I wouldn't be shocked at UCF knocking off Duke. And lets be honest, they probably should have. But that game is water under the bridge. New day, New team, New game. And we get a couple of old ACC foes squaring off. Duke was a 3.5 fave on the road with no Zion. So, this line is 7 - I think it should be 10. I know Duke can't hit a 3 for their life. But their inside game is nuts. Normally, I would shy away from a 3 man team in this round. I've been on VT going back to the ACC tournament. I think they are a very good team. Something just tells me this line is a bit fishy. 4* Money Maker DUKE

Taking NORTH CAROLINA. I really want to jump in with a larger play, nearly a Top 10* Money Bomb here. I just think - As much as Auburn wants to run with these guys, they just don't have the horses to last. NC is scoring 80, at a minimum tonight. If Auburn wants to push the tempo this game, I think they are getting run out of the building like 93-75 territory. As great as the Tigers have looked, they will need another SEC Championship Game performance to knock off the Tarheels. 5* Best Bet NORTH CAROLINA
