OK, Illinois and Kansas in the Final Four, Whats Next?

[Glaken]

Out of the two spots left I can't pick a sleeper? Can You? Maybe Notre Dame or the Zags again? I love ODU to get to 16 and Pitt too. G

 

[wilheim]

North Carolina and Duke.



wil.

One potential sleeper: Utah. They're style is suited for tourney games and they have a guy they can lean on to win the close ones.

My friends think I am nuts, but I think Pacific may be able to make a run.

 

[sherman]

Your not nuts..Pacific is the real deal...I like them too...I am going to make a statement that is equally nuts..the early rounds are going to be won in the paint and at the line..Thats why I see Kentucky out early and as I always lose my dollars in March..the young teams never cover in the first week but find a way to win. G

you can get ODU 8-1 to make the sweet 16 at Pinn right now. I don't think the Zags will make it very deep this year, 16 at best imo. They lost alot from last year, and they aren't deep at all. Turiaf needs to finally step up.

I like UNC Charlotte to make it to the sweet 16, and my sleeper pick for the Final Four is Maryland. I just don't think they are as bad as they have played this year. I don't really understand that friggen team, but what the hell. They're my sleeper.

 

[ApolloKid]

Pinnacle's tourney props seem to say UNC is in. In Pinnacle I trust.

Seriously, though, they can be beaten. Roy Williams is their coach.

Nothing would surprise me this year. We learn a little more about BC on Saturday. The mid major tournaments, always important, have even more importance this year because there could be some open spots for teams that weren't available in the past.

 

[ApolloKid]

Thanks GLaken. I'm glad some one believes. For once I'd love to see a Pacific or Wichita St. or the like make a run and get one. Even if it meant beating my Orangemen.

 

[Glaken]

Maybe we should do the Elite Eight.LOL...UNC would be in, Duke, Maryland for sure I am 5'9" and can barely play horse but I love the game, G

Just got done playing the following teams to win the title.

Kansas +808
Wake Forest +842
Oklahoma State +1616
Washington +3003
Arizona +3323

I really think that there is a ton of value on these teams because you can always hedge, middle, ect if these teams get deep into the tourney. I also think that either Kansas or Wake Forest will be in the title game. It might even be both of them. That would be nice.

 

[GrandMasterB]

Wake is going to be tough to keep out of the final four. I do like Utah, but they really haven't played anyone. As much as I am impressed with their 17 game winning streak, the Mtn West is really bad, I mean really bad this year. I always loved watching these late Monday nite games, but this year I can't even watch a whole game. The talent just isn't there.

 

[ApolloKid]

Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with playing any of the teams other than UNC or Illinois. Value isn't there with them.

Now watch both make it to the title game.

 

[GrandMasterB]

what I don't like is this one-

Tue 3/1 Big 2 (N. Carolina & Illinois) vs The Field

Maximum Wager: 1000.00 USD
12:00 PM 173 Big 2 (N. Carolina & Illinois) +149 Risk To Win
174 The Field -159 Risk To Win

why not just take both Ill @+360 and UNC @ +310?

I wouldn't plat it anyway, but that Big 2 bet is kind of a cheap shot isn't it?

 

[spreadbeater]

Great value IMO with both Kansas and Wake to win the title. Reminds me of my Uconn play last year when they were 9-1 to win the title.
