Under 4-2 in last 6 Wisconsin 1st round NCAA tourney games. The two overs were by total margin of 7 points, 4 unders by total of 48.5 points. That includes OT game vs Florida State that finished under by a point (was 17 points under at end of regulation).

Only 4 American games have had posted total this year and all 4 finished under (average of over 20 points below posted total).

[BiffTFinancial]

Also like under in Harvard/Cincy. Don't like playing side and total in same game. Considering Cincy TT under 62'.

Also will likely be on Providence/UNC 1H under on Friday once it is released

FWIW ... reports have Amaker to BC. Talking like it's a done deal. Not sure what this means to the bet?

I took Vill, Mich, Wisc, Lou, Mich St, Duke, Virg, Kan, Creigh, and Arz ML parlay 3 to make 2.

BOL!

[Madison]

Shame on those early season losses backing Dayton. Bad timing!

Like your ML parlay. Glad you weren't tempted to put Buckeyes in there....

As for Amaker point, yeah, i heard the rumors too. I had already booked bet and don't know that the rumors would've dissuaded me even if i'd waited. You could probably argue either way, but more likely that it hurts Harvard than helps them (though Harvard likely more mentally focused team than most). Here's hoping they play the 2H the way that they played the 1H.

Right! Wish i could bring myself to fade the Buckeyes - today was a such an obvious spot to do so.

[BiffTFinancial]

Cincy 2H is -3'. Pretty decent spot for middle but passing.

[Madison]

Was gonna post an hour ago but didn't want to curse anything but what a sexy ML parlay Harvard and Dayton would have been. Two winnable dogs.

Sure glad that i passed on this middle. Would've lost by the hook.

Absolutely. If Harvard had made their free throws down the stretch, it wouldn't even had been that close.

[BiffTFinancial]

Consarn it. Gators up 6 at half, 2H is -10'. Not such a great opportunity. Pass. Hoping Danes would be closer

Ala 9-seed Pitt being big fave over 9-seed Colorado, UT and UK are obvious plays tomorrow. Fortunately, kenpom agrees and so do my models (which are largely kenpom-based).

5-0 start tarnished by 0-2 finish. UW-Milwaukee in particular was a dagger, but can't complain about 5-2.

Eying Weber/Arizona under, SFA/VCU under, Tulsa/UCLA under, doing some more work on those right now.

[BiffTFinancial]

Really liking PC/UNC 1H under, considering adding another unit to it. However, i have to play in the first round of a hoops tourney* at the girl's school at 8 pm, and that game is at 7:20 so if i upgrade, i'll be way too distracted at a time when i'm supposed to be focusing upon other things, so probably will leave as-is.

* - Yes, yes, i agree - who the heck has a hoops tourney the same weekend as this hoops tourney. It's a parochial school, which is the reason that i passed on swearing in the preceding sentence. I don't use the work heck a lot, but i suppose i can stomach it when referring to a Jesuit school that teaches my daughter. That said, who the penetrate says "heck"?
