Default Re: +200 odds and +150

I am hesitant on Stanford also , but like the fact they are playing in Calif .
TexAM should look lost playing Ucla in Calif , maybe not right , but is an advantage play with an angle .
Other possible angles ? KanSt with Bease making history with a lil run before he leaves for the $ . There are other angles you guys know about I'm sure .

MichSt ? it seems like a stretch putting $ on Drew Neitzel but MichSt is a team that returned all 5 starters from a 23 win team last year . This year they flew under the radar as nothing special , but are they really nothing special ?
Same thing with Marquette .
Kansas ? should Unlv even put their sneakers on ?

I felt as though I was among the informed going against #3 seed Xavier and picking Ga to reach the sweet 16 . Sometimes it is better not to know too much and just be a casual fan when picking the tournament .
No way Unlv will win a game this year in the tourney right , after surprising last year with a different team .
If I didnt follow it all year I would have picked Unlv , WKy , Xavier and Purdue (maybe Vill too ) . Yes , as a casual fan I would have picked KY and Usc and those 2 would have been wrong .
Just some thoughts . No , I would have never picked Sienna or Sd in any state of being .

How does all that mumbo jumbo apply to the round of 32 ?
Ooh it's real , for sure .
Casual fan picks for saturdays round of 32 :
Duke
Wisc , but is tainted with the prescence of a star for KanSt
Xavier
ND
Stan
Kan
Ucla and some
not sure how to categorize the Pitt game as MichSt is the better basketball name but people know Pitt has been hot , am lost on that one .

Looks like ND would be the only u-dog the average joe would pick if we did a 100,000 person work survey , more or less .
Yes , this has so much gray it is mind boggling .
The favs seem to get the most play so much .
So , why cant Duke , Stan , Kan , and Ucla be +pts , why cant they be the dogs ? We all know there is no such thing as a true fav at this time in the tourney . -3 pts ? - 4 pts ? -13.5 ? - 10 pts ?
While these might not be the best examples , there is always sundays games .
When yes everything can go to hell if you take the favs .

Let me see , officiating , the most critical key factor in these games bar none. Vandyyyyyyy wtf was that ? 25 ft attempts to 12 ft attemps for Vandy ? I watched it and we all know there was some bias or just some bad judgement . No sense debating that though because we would have to go over the game film to make any sense of accuracy in point .
Yeah I know , Siena was just hot from 3 pt land and actually had a couple guys play like their names could be Mike and Larry . Or should that be Larry and Mike . haha just kidding . plz
So , we all know that any of these teams have guys that for one game could be Mike and Larry . (and that would be that , gametime , its over , I lost , how ? I dont believe this shit ! haha
