    4* Butler -1'

    watching Brad Stevens makes me feel like such a failure. leaning Duke but still thinking it over. don't like either game total, though probably lean under. will probably wait until halftime for totals and hope one of the games is 10-10 at half.

    michigan state doesn't wow you with any aspect of the game, but when you look at the final score they always seem to have one more than the opposition, butler would be a great story , but i am going to lean toward sparty

        i hear you, and i normally never go against Izzo in the tourney. i'm a big ten fan and was rooting for Sparty with my heart (love Draymond Green), but Butler's defense is outstanding. Lucious has been shaky at times and i think Mack, Veasley, Nored may cause some real TO problems for MSU. i don't think Sparty will get as many easy shots today as they did against Tenn, Maryland, NMSU. my concern with Butler has been Matt Howard foul trouble, but he's gotten in foul trouble in each game and they've been okay. i think that Butler's weaknesses are more noticeable if you speed them up, but i don't think Sparty can without Lucas.

        BOL today. can't say part of me won't be happy if Izzo gets another W. just won't be my pocket.

                  3* Duke -2 (bought half-point)

                  Duke's defense is underrated but outstanding. its weakness is dribble penetration, and WVU doesn't have a lot of that (well, other than Mazzulla deconstructing best-player-ever-heh-heh John Wall in the Elite 8). like Butler, Duke has been good at turning opponents into jumpshooters, and if they're able to do that to WVU, it should be a big advantage. WVU thrives on offensive boards and streaky 3PT shooting, two things that Duke does a good job of limiting, and that will be huge assuming they can turn WVU into jumpshooters. Duke's interior depth also make it less susceptible to foul trouble. in the end, f lang, f vitale, but go Dookies.

                        I feel like I'd be better off flipping coins on todays picks--but I keep coming back to butler and duke. I think WV will not be able to put up the 3 pointers like they did against Kent. and Duke is well Duke, better coached and smarter players. I think Butler still isnt getting the respect they deserve and hope the fairy tale continues today. Mich St. is sound and obviously well coached, but Butler is having one of those years.

                        Not locked in yet but going big on Butler 5 units and Duke 5 units, (I'll probable adjust my Duke play depending on the outcome of Butler)

                          GL Biff - like you I wouldn't mind seeing MSU win, but I just don't think they get it done tonite. And as much as I dislike Duke, W Va just doesn't show the consistency it needs to beat Duke.

                                  yep. BOL, rick. neither of these sides were easy for me to commit to. hate going contra Izzo in the tourney, and hate backing Duke period. but i've thought about both all week, and i keep coming back to the same factors and conclusions. we'll find out soon.

                                    4* Butler -1' - WINNER
                                    3* Duke -2

                                    nice start, and about time i'm on the right side of a half-point winner (0-3 on half-pointers in tourney til today). Gordo is fkn nails. pretty fortunate, under was probably better call. like 1H under in Duke game, but waiting for half and hoping it's 12-10 or 40-35 for 2H total.

                                    quote-unquote wife: "i'm so ready for April."

                                    my heart breaks for Lupe Izzo (who looks a lot like Ethelyn Tenenbaum), but hey, she'll probably be back next March.
