Glad I laid off A&M.
2* MSU/ USC- under 64.5 (-115) Both teams play gritty, tough D. MSU plays at a slow pace offensively and USC at a moderate pace. These plays have been paying off so here's another.
2* Iowa St. -4.5 We can see what has happened to some offense first teams already (Arizona, WVU, Iowa). Pitt will not be ready for a suffocating Iowa State D. Iowa State should be brimming with confidence off their 2 Baylor wins....although they'll have to shoot decently.
1* Baylor -5.5 1H On the subject of Baylor, they can reset their season here vs. UCSB team that played a soft schedule. Baylor is well coached and should adjust to their late season offensive woes.
1* VCU +4.5 (-115) This game pits two strong Ds from conferences that are somewhat overrated. St. Mary's issues have been exposed a few times this year- as in they can be stifled offensively, and their D packs tight, but doesn't cover the perimeter all that well.
1* Vermont +10 This is on the light side of a 1*. Vermont usually finds a way to hang with the big boys. Marquette could go to the final 4, or maybe lose in the first two rounds. They finished well, but are a young team.
