Dude of the Day: Buzz Williams - Marquette. Marquette +9 or even +8'. Down 8 with 20 secs left and doesn't foul. Dick of the Day: Matt Doherty - SMU SMU +7'. Down 7 with 3 secs left and FOULS.
587 Vanderbilt/S Carolina OV 143 585 UCF/Houston OV 134' 586 Houston (+7')
672 Charleston/Wofford UN 67' 1st H 672 Charleston/Wofford UN 146 Game
589 LSU (+2) Auburn just beat Florida St. LSU lost at Rice and at ACC-bottom feeder Virginia. No way they hang in here. 592 Wyoming (+8') New Mexico was -7' at Wyoming LY and only won by 2 when they were a #3 seed and a top 10 team. They are a step back at least this year and still laying this #. Wyoming had 2 injured starters come back last game and ran out of gas at Colorado St on Wed. 594 Towson/Georgia St UN 140' Easier to slow down a fast team than to speed up slow team.

595 Miami/Clemson OV 130
604 Arkansas St/FAU UN 134 601 South Alabama (+3') Oddsmakers have finally caught up to fact that Ferguson and Legion are now eligible and playing for FIU. Overcompensation here. 615 Southern Miss (+1') (-106) Marshall put everything they had into the game at UCF and now they have a grinder team that plays balls out defense in Southern Miss. Tough spot for the Herd. 678 Eastern Kentucky (-6) Tenn Tech played inspired for their MIA HC Mike Sutton (who is very ill and has been for a couple of seasons) at Morehead St. Lack of energy here.
607 vcu (-6)
624 Green Bay (-3) UW-Milwaukee mauled Butler on Monday, but that doesn't mean they are a good all of a sudden. 626 Notre Dame (-5) (-105) One of my best today. All week the ESPNers have been beating to death how Lavin is turning around St. John's after their win over G Town. Irish much better defensively and more disciplined offensively than they have been in the past. 628 Rutgers (+2) 631 Saint Mary's (-15) 632 Saint Mary's/Pepperdine UN 149' SMC can also win playing defense and not just shooting well. 633 Rice (+7') 635 Ole Miss (+8)
637 Portland (+12) 630 UL Lafayette (+2)
640 Fresno St/New Mexico St UN 143
