#738 4* West Virginia -5 Grand Canyon 7 PM
Would not normally back a team like WV that has 4 tournament wins the last 2 seasons and lost to a #1 seed to end their season each of the last two years but when your 14-20 and can play a home game and perhaps finish the season on a run it’s different. The Mountaineers as bad as they were (4-14 in the B12) were still 4-5 at home including beating Kansas, Oklahoma, TCU and Iowa St.

#887 3* Southern Miss -9.5 Longwood
Longwood may be hosting this game but this scream blowout. The Lancers were 5-11 in a very poor Big South Conference and their best win was against Winthrop (#180 team). Southern Miss is the best D they have faced and the only other D’s they have met that were in the top 160 they lost by 20 and 10 points (SMIss #100). Doc Sadler took over at S Miss in 2015 and this is their first post-season appearance so motivation is not an issue.

#713 3* Arizona St -2 St Johns
Better offense, better defense and much better current form. I, like most people, thought the Pac-12 sucked but Vegas has compensated and I actually like all 3 P-12 teams in round one.
