    NCAA tourney first round lines are starting to come out. Any first impressions?

    I guess the thing that jumped out to me was Milwaukee getting 17 points against Villanova.

    Milwaukee didn't even win half their games in the weak Horizon conference going 7-9

    less than a month ago they lost by 22 to UIC who was 6-25 this year, that was UIC's only conference win

    so Milwaukee has the potential to stink up the joint

    not to mention that Villanova wants to get that bitter taste out of their mouths from losing to Seton Hall in the Big East tournament...I think they come out firing early and often and Pinkston has big game inside as well...Lay the 16.5 (Pinny) or no play for me!...

    Milwaukee is a very bad basketball team. The predictive ratings I have written and used for several years have them ranked 198th in the country and Villy number 7

    Leading scorer Jordan Aaron missed 4 games and they lost 3 of those games pretty badly, and he played hurt in a home game against Illinois Chicago and had a terrible game in a blowout loss. Take away those 5 games and they were 20-9 in games which he played, including 2 road wins at Green Bay and a road win at Davidson. Not eye popping wins but they are better than their record/stats.

    I think Providence will beat UNC. Just not a good UNC team this year. Providence is hot, they'll make the upset.

    I like Vols -1 over Iowa in the play-in game.

    Everyone is just assuming Kentucky is advancing to play Wichita. Last time I checked, 8/9 matchups are 50-50. KState getting 5 against an inexperienced Kentucky team sounds good to me.

    Lobos -3 over Stanford. Lobos got under seeded here.

    I hate the Buckeyes, but don't think that high of Dayton. Ohio st should dominate them
    physically.

    louisville minus whatever. They never let up for full 40 mins.

    I agree with you guys on the Vols which begs the question....is this a trap game or sucker bet?!....why is the line so low if Tennessee has been red hot and Iowa ice cold and the Hawkeyes barely made the tournament?...I was thinking at least the Vols being favored by 5 or 6.
