Should be Michigan -2

I was just sitting here pondering the saame thing... I am also curious where Oregon Ducks go. The way they are playing, I'm not sure an NBA team could beat them by 10. Nervous the ducks line will go down but at the same time, a lot of public should be on Louisville for name recognition.

As far as Kansas, I don't see any way they win by less than 8. They only played for 10 minutes today and routed UNC and UNC was scrapping all game.

WIll be interesting to see where they go

I think the line stays around -2, it is -1.5 at Pinny. I am leaning Kansas in this game, but probably won't play it.

I'm on Kansas. Love how the Jayhawks match-up against the Wolverines.

Some interesting insight from blogger Brad Evans:
"defensively Michigan is more ferret than Wolverine, a harbinger of future disappointment to come. VCU, in 2011, is the only tournament team since 2000 to advance to the Final Four sporting a defensive efficiency rank north of No. 40. Currently, Michigan checks in at No. 57 in that category. Spanked on the glass, vulnerable in transition and generally generous, it's simply too accommodating. Blinding opponents with its retina-damaging florescent yellow uniforms hasn't even helped. Over their past 12 games, the Wolverines have surrendered an appalling 1.09 points per possession. Heck, Wisconsin, a team known for its prolonged droughts, dropped 48 points in one half against them in the Big Ten Tourney. They clamped-down on rival Michigan State March 3 forcing 18 turnovers while holding the Spartans to a modest 40.5 percent from the floor, but if a similar effort isn’t exuded consistently in the second season an early exit seems likely..."

Michigan is a much different team with McGary starting.

Kansas just feels like the play to me... If they can play anywhere close to way they did in the 2nd half today, I think they win this game. Regardless of seeding, Kansas has more talent on the floor. If they can execute and find away to turn all those turnovers into some shot attempts, they will be a dangerous team.

its kansas guys they outscored nc without their "best" player in mclemore doing anything if he plays to his capability they should go the whole way. In every game kansas plays they know they have the best center on the court and if mclemore plays to what all these scouts are saying the best 2 guard on the court.

Think KU is the better team. Will play them on ML.

McDabs · 03-25-13, 12:14 PM

What would you guess the ML opens at? I really just want to get the best price I can on Kansas whether that be the ML or me eating a point and riding with -1 @ -130. If they win by 1 and I push I can live with it but I'll never play a -1.5 spread in hoops again in my life after being burned by that half point on more than a few occasions.

Like KU but could see this line moving closer to pk. Michigan had 2 very favorable match ups w/ SDSU and VCU but that will end when they face the Jayhawks.

Minus 135 at 5D.

Just locked in Kansas ML (-130)

Hard to say which way it goes from here but I wasn't seeing myself being able to get a better number as the week progresses... If it does drop closer to a PK towards tipoff (doubt it) I may make another play on them or throw them in a parlay. Unfortunately this part of the tourney is going to be the hardest to call and have no idea who to pair them with. I don't know if its just me, but this weekend was pretty kind towards me for the most part, even with some really tough breaks with Gonzaga and then Miami -5 last night (bought 1/2 a point early on)...

The rest of the games (including this one even) are really tough calls and almost all toss ups from here on out. I'm going to try to proceed with caution LOL
