You know, I'm a degenerate and I'm partial to ASU cause I cashed on them against Stanford. I wanted to see them get taken care of, but instead they got screwed! I was looking forward to betting on the sin devils.

dick vitale just said az st should have be considered over az on espn right now...and illinois st out at 24-9...damn...

Arizona would get the nod due to its tradition any day of the week.
Same reason Kentucky got in.

I'll be betting against Gonzaga in the first round, no matter what the line is! This team is completely overrated!

I could name quite a few at large bids who could get beat by Drake by 30 on most nights. There is no shame in that loss. Unfortuanately, the committee does not watch a lot of these teams and therefore, are not very effective.

Will probably open at a more competitive price than you think. I see that line opening at Gonzaga -2.5 to 3.

I actually like Gonzaga in frist round, and game is only a Pick'em, so its not like there is any value going agains them.

Two other notes:

1 - ASU sweeping Arizna is certainly a valid point, but unlike other Pac-10 teams, Arizona played a very tough non-conference schedule that included taking Kanasa to overtime in Lawrence. My guess is that the huge difference in SOS got them in. I am still not sure I agree with it though given their 14 losses, but again, SOS was a factor their too.

2 - Drake is my "George Mason" this year, and I actually have them going to the Final Four. No, they are not one of the four best teams in the country, but I am not crazy about UCLA's region, so why not? Sets up a nice future bet at around 175-1 to win it all at an exchange, where I could start selling off if they make the Sweet Sixteen. If ther don't get that far, hey it was a 175-1 shot!
