Hit my first two plays yesterday and pushed on Saint Louis so a good start to the tourney.
I watched Tulsa last Saturday when they won the Conference USA championship and was pretty impressed with how much better they were than early in the season. Although a bit undersized, what struck me was their athleticism. They play tough aggressive defense and still do a good job of rebounding.
UCLA has a major size advantage here between Anderson and Wear and Jordan Adams is one of the best players in the country. Still, I think Tulsa will be able to hit enough 3s and get out in transition enough to hang in this game.
Tulsa finished out the season very strong with an 11 game winning streak and I am going to ride with them here getting the points.
Tulsa +8.5 -105 (3x); ML +360 (.25x)
