Cizzle NCAA 2011 Tourney

719 UK -1.5 Reading between the lines, UK is playing better ball right now. Also, the square opinion on this game is that the 2 teams are evenly matched. If that's really the case, then there would be no need for the hook working against UK.

Rounds 64 through 8: 10 -6 -0 +3.4

812 BUTLER -3 Coaching will win this game, and, despite being only about 1 year older, Brad Stevens is way ahead of Shaka Smart. Stevens has beaten some very good coaches the past two years in the tournament, and almost got Coach K in the finals last year. He will have BUTLER defending the 3, and will feed the ball to his senior Howard down low to control the game. Also, for what it's worth, Shaka Smart's grandfather passed away during last week, who reportedly was a major influence in his life. Some might think that Smart will win this one for his grandfather, but, in reality, this is a big distraction for Shaka during what is aleardy the most distracting week of his life. We also think there's a good chance this hits 3.5 before tip-off.

814 UCONN +2 UK is the squarest play of the day. Also, it is not a good idea to fade the best player in the country right now (Walker).

Rounds 64 through 4: 12 -6 -0 +5.4

601 BUTLER +3.5 We think UCONN is finally gassed, and BUTLER's excellent team defense will win the game for BUTLER.

For the 2011 Tourney: 12 -7 -0 +4.3

Great job on the tourney!
