NCAA Tournament Rd 1

NCAA Tournament Rd 1 Made these plays last night. Was going to post right away, but I hadn't had any sleep at all. All of these #'s are/were available. Early games: 727/728 Florida/BYU OV 146' 728 BYU (-4) (-120) It was 4.5 last night. I played -4 earlier in the week. 719 ODU (+3) (-119) 719/720 ODU/Notre Dame UN 122' 709 Robert Morris (+19) 709/710 Robert Morris/Villanova UN 147' Robert Morris coach Rice knows he can't run with Nova. He will slow the pace like they did in the NEC Title game. 2:30 games 731/732 Murray St/Vanderbilt UN 141 732 Vanderbilt (-2') (-109) Murray State functions terribly against a zone. Morehead went to a zone in OVC Title Game, and Murray looked completely lost. Stallings is one of the best coaches in this tournament. I think he'll come up with some good stuff here. 725/726 North Texas/Kansas State UN 148 717/718 Sam Houston/Baylor UN 150 712 Richmond (-1') 730 Butler (-2) (-105) Trendy upset pick here. UTEP quit at the end of the CUSA game and got complacent. Will post night games momentarily.

723/724 Northern Iowa/UNLV OV 113' 713 East Tenn State TT UN 58' 735 Washington (+2) (-116) 735/736 Washington/Marquette OV 142' Marquette didn't beat anyone in the non conference. The Big East is great at the top but average at best after the top 4. 705 Ohio (+13') 721 Lehigh (+26) 716 Texas (-5) (-105) 734 New Mexico (-9) 707 San Diego State (+4)

729/730 UTEP/Butler UN 129' SMU and So Miss was able to control tempo vs. UTEP in CUSA as was Air Force. UTEP will play at the opponents' tempo. UTEP won all of those 5 games against the above teams, but none of those clubs are as good as Butler.

705/706 Ohio/Georgetown OV 139' Ohio's guards are probably pretty close to = w/ Georgetown's guards. Hoyas should get whatever they want inside against Ohio w/out the suspended DeVaughn Washington.

pretty good run shooter, not bad some winners to begin the ncaa tourney good stuff

Very nice start indeed.

Thank you. Add: 721/722 Lehigh/Kansas OV 146 Lehigh is the most uptempo team in the Patriot League. They shoot 40% from the 3, but they aren't a usually good Patriot League defensive team like the Bucknells or the Holy Crosses in recent past. They allow over 45% shooting on the road. I think Lehigh will hit enough 3's to stay within the +26, but Kansas will score a lot here.

CIT (5 min to tip): 747/748 Southern Miss/Louisiana Tech OV 127 So Miss is slow, but this is the CIT and I don't see the defensive intensity and So Miss may be allowed to run a little more here since this is a minor tournament. Coaches may let them be a little more free and easy.

706 Georgetown (-12) 2nd Half - Greek Ohio has no size and has hit a ton of 3's. I've got Ohio +13' for game so have to take a shot at a 25.5 pt middle.

707/708 San Diego State/Tennessee UN 129' Against the late move here. 2 good defenses.
