Sorry Mo ... I have Butler KO-ing Tennessee here also. Definitely am taking Butler and the points. Interested to see if Tennessee shows up for this one. They played like shite against American and Butler looked fantastic.

I like Tennessee here. I think Butler played over their heads while South Alabama played some of the worst basketball of any team in the tourney (right up there with Vandy's round one game and Winthrop's 2nd Half). I like Tennessee to take Butler down, but I'm not touching that line. I would admit that Vegas is begging John Q. to take Tennessee and lay the relatively small amount.

The thing is, I can't even fathom teasing this game. The only real value I see is the Tennessee ML. I think they win this game 80% of the time or so, so I'll take my -210 and run with it.

I like the under 139.5. I might be the only person on the under?

How do you not see value in Butler +190?

I was actually looking at the under pretty hard. Butler's defense has been stout and Tennessee's is probably a little un-noticed in that it is fairly solid. Only thing that scares me on an under is late FTs because I think this one will be close enough for late fouls.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but assuming I think Tennessee wins this one 8 out of 10 and I put 100 on each outcome:
100=290 (190 + original 100)
100=290
100=0
100=0
100=0
100=0
100=0
100=0
100=0
100=0
Net: I lose $220

Seeing as the only two sides I have picked right out of about a dozen or so tourney games so far have won ... Tennessee is likely a mortal lock. In fact, I am going to pass on a side in this one to see if my streak hits or not. I got locked out on betting WKU & Siena on the ML in Round 1. Butler was my choice here and I am foregoing it. I am going to go with the UNDER at 140 though. So I guess go Vols since I don't give a F!

I love watching Bruce Pearl freak out on the dunderheads on his team. Bunch of lazy, cocky players. I hope Butler destroys these clowns.

OK, if that is how you want to calculate this game. I see value because Tenn is very up and down and Butler has some good leadership on their team. If Tenn 3's are not falling it will probably be close. But, I understand what you are saying, GL.

Oh, by the way Tenn is my team and I put a future bet on them last year right after the tournament, so technically I would like to see them win so I guess you could also say that I am hedging a bet.

You will lose your next wager on some bs like the Butler backers lost on today. Karma is a bee-otch. No need to rub it in. Cash your ticket and go about your business.

Exactly. Celebrating is one thing, saying it was easy was another. You should be down on your hands and knees thanking God Tennessee sucked at the free throw line at the end of regulation.
