    Big East is 10-3 and Big Ten 8-1 March Madness

    The two conferences everyone wanted to fade before the tourney started.

    I'll add the next obvious reply.....they won't win anything anyway, it will be Kentucky, N.C. or Kansas....

    hell no a big east team isnt gonna win anything or even be in final 4 for that matter (ive been wrong before tho), sure i prob thought/think big east a little down this yr but hell all of college hoops is so i guess it balances out..i dont go in looking to straight fade any conf, several times you will see a team from a legit "piss poor conf" make a run so kinda foolish ruling teams out because you think conf is down...far as big-10 i didnt realize anyone thought they were down, though it was generally excepted they were the strongest conf this season...and yes UK is going to win it, lol..but i do have 2 big 10 teams in final 4..

    Doesn't matter who wins

    All that matters is who covers

    Lot more to gambling than "covers". Futures, props, moneylines, parlays, etc.

    The spread does not come into play as often as people think it does.

    I said the Big 10 was head and shoulders above everyone else all year... the irony is that I didn't really bet accordingly based on my beliefs because I thought I was just sipping the kool aid. Figures.

    Yeah, Big 10 has only been the underdog twice (Purdue both games).

    Yeah, books seem to be slow in figuring out that midwest/east/south> west coast as a general rule.

    Nope, they're all gone with New Mexico/Colorado done. Pathetic. Next year, I might focus solely on fading Pac-12 teams against top 50 OOC teams.

    Except Arizona... Arizona might be damn good next year.

    Hope those who create the rankings remember this shit next year bc i don't want to see UNLV and SDSU in the top 25 all year when they both suck.

    UNLV pounded Illinois when people thought Illinois was good. Beat up on UNC early in the year when they were struggling as well. That got them over hyped.
