Did I get duped?

I bet OVER 15.5 on the number of ACC wins in the NCAA tournament.

Louisville and Syracuse were bounced from the tournament yesterday.

Florida State defeated Vermont to post the conference's first tournament victory.

Now I need 15 more.

My big boys - Duke, UNC, Virginia and Virginia Tech -- are up today.

I also bet Virginia to post more tournament wins than Gonzaga.

And OVER on Virginia's number (3.5) of tournament wins.

My predicted storyline for this year's action at the Final Four: Virginia redeems itself one year after its historic loss to Maryland Baltimore-County.

When I saw Gardner up at the half I had a quick vision of JK visiting Pawn Stars....

Good results yesterday because Virginia's quarter of the bracket lost the #4, #5 and #7 seeds, though all three teams (K-State, Wisconsin and Cincinnati) were vulnerable.

The Selection Committee truly honored the ACC this season with three #1 seeds.

Just saw the post but love the bet. Florida St. and Virginia Tech are underrated too.....
Good luck

Get the 3 #1 seeds in the final four and you got 12 wins right there and that is a great possibility right there....

Just as important, a win tomorrow by Va Tech over Liberty and a win by Duke over UCF will guarantee you 3 more ACC wins.

Yes.

Just saw this.

Of course, I need Florida State more than Va Tech.

FSU has the higher ceiling consider VT runs into Duke in the Round of 16.

And I would not want VT to beat Duke obviously.

But one upset before the Elite Eight and I'll be reeling.

I still like the bet BUT the problem is

Winning the bet will not be won easily yet losing the bet could be... The odds are not in favor of it going over 15/2 .... Hope you got plus money

Yes, Fla St with a run in the West wouldn't play a possible Duke/VT till the F4. Losing either Fla St today or VT tomorrow would hurt. Losing both would mean Duke, UNC and Va would almost need to run their respective tables (obviously only one would win tournament, one be runner-up and the other in F4).

Thanks for your input, Bob.

Kenny Smith yesterday predicted an all-ACC Final Four.

I like Kenny.

Terrible play.

Nobody that good, nobody that bad.

You make the same mistake in football by kissing SEC ass.

Then you must be all in on the +14, no?

Sorry just seen this. I had +13.5 but still thought they would lose outright. I think Syracuse would have given them a better fight.

I like Florida st next game. I think this gonzaga team is over hyped. They smack up teams in there conference and in this tournament there are good teams that can knock them out.

I'm concerned Gardner-Webb gave UVA a problem.

Also, North Dakota State gave Duke problems, and Iona gave North Carolina problems.

Only #1 seed not to trail throughout in a first round game and cover first half easily -- Gonzaga.

Virginia and North Carolina trailed at halftime, and Duke didn't come close to covering the first half.
