NCAA Sunday - All Games

[t3a]

Early game - NC St +4.5 @sia

UConn has all the gaudy tournament stats - Calhoun 31-3 SU vs lower seeds for instance, everyone knows their recent success, they were a favorite of many analysts to reach the final four while the lowly Pack was a bubble team going into the ACC tournament.

So here is the #2 vs #10 matchup , line I think is too low based on the teams reps plus UConn has the inside edge on paper. I am hoping for one of those 3 point barrages I have seen NC state throw out many times this season, I know they are capable and I have to go with ACC since I have been bashing Big East's ratings all year.

NC State +4.5 for 3 units

Adding

wish I could wait on some of these, think the lines may move but here is the rest of the card:

3 units:
Villanova +1.5
Tale of 2 halves for both of these teams as they both blew huge leads in the first round. Thinking Nova is more likely to put up consistent offenseve showing, they are the one Big East team that I can support
Georgia Tech +1
Another 4-5 matchup, Louisville on 19 of 20 streak, but taking Tech based on ACC vs SEC
Michigan St -7.5
Vermont clebrated like they had won the tourney after beating Syracuse, they have arleady accomplished their goal, Izzo is 18-2 vs lower seeds, I don't think he will let Spartans get caught underestimating Vermont here.
Southern Ill +9.5
little wary of this one, as it has been bet down, points look too good

Also 2 units:
Duke -8.0
They can't play as bad as in the 1st round can they?
North Carolina -15.0
15? Are they begging you to take I St?
Bucknell +9.0
Expecting low scoring game, take the points

Recap 5-1-2 +11 units

Got most of the 3 unit plays home and 2 pushes on the late card with Duke and Bucknell, those late fouling strategies will never make sense to me. I won't complain though since some of the lines moved against me late

Will update 'official' record in the tracker thread
