Reason for putting UCONN in the Teaser........Shabazz Napier, one of the great Seniors should be able to will his team to victory here in his final tournament run (this is what he came back for afterall so expect an inspired performance)..Furthermore, this is a St.Joe's team that once lost by 30 points to Villanova who is a team I don't really respect.
Reason for putting Harvard in the Teaser.........Harvard was in the Tournament last year and is a #12 seed this year....What does that mean? The #12 seeds actually have a winning record Straight-Up against #5 seeds if they played in last year's tournament...This is a Cincy team that likes to play grind out style basketball games as well which can lead to tighter margins at times so I'll tease Harvard here...
Reason for putting North Dakota State in the Teaser.........North Dakota State leads the Nation in Field Goal percentage making a crazy 51% as a team...Meanwhile, Oklahoma is ranked 170th in Defensive Field Goal Percentage......The Bison are also 14-1 Straight-Up in their last 15 Games so I think they hang around here.....
Reason for putting Stanford in the Teaser.................The Lobos have been in the NCAA Tournament 3 of the last 4 years.....They have wins against Montana and Long Beach State...They have losses against Harvard, Washington, and Louisville....This just in....Stanford is better than Montana and Long Beach State so I expect them to hang around here..
Reason for putting Kentucky in the Teaser............Might hedge and go for a Middle if I get to this point or might not.......Kentucky starting to have their talent come together and I'm sure the faithful fans of the Bluegrass State will show up in St.Louis to support them....The Wildcats will win this game no doubt, but in my opinion it will be the ones wearing blue and they will dominate the boards again as they are ranked 2nd in the Nation whereas Kansas State is around 150....A talented team that gets more chances and limits your chances is even more dangerous and I like Kentucky here.
