    Biggest NCAA line swings so far

    Cincinnati from +3 to PK over Missouri (57% of betting public on Bearcats so far)
    St. John's +1.5 to -1.5 over Gonzaga (59%)
    Old Dominion +1.5 to -2 over Butler (70%)
    Temple PK to -2.5 over Penn State (57%)
    Tennessee +1 to -2 over Michigan (68%)
    Florida State +1 to -1 over A&M (61%)
    UNLV PK to -2 over Illinois (69%)

    Public is backing all of these plays early, so no RLM -- but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

    Most lopsided public plays so far:

    Notre Dame -13.5 (94%) over Akron
    Arizona -6 (92%) over Memphis
    Louisville -9.5 (90%) over Morehead State
    Duke -22.5 (89%) over Hampton
    Washington -5.5 (82%) over Georgia

    Just an FYI -- I'm not on any of these yet, though I do have strong leans to Memphis and Morehead State.

    Cincy-Missouri
    For 2-3 weeks Missouri coach Anderson has been rumored to take over at Arkansas weeks ago, well before Ark coach was fired.
    Anderson was asst at Ark for many yrs, that is his dream job.
    Look it up, MU lost something like 4 of last 5 straight up (beat TT) and something like 1-4 ATS.
    The kids know he is leaving... affects their play IMO.
    And, to boot, MU has been overrated all yr, thin front line. If you can beat their press, MU is toast.
    (Colorado is devastated that they did not get in NCAA's... will not cover the 22 at home tomorrow in NIT)

    Line movement in the NCAA Tournament, like the postseason in other sports, is mostly public driven. When there's a big line move, you can often get a lot of value on the other side.

    With so much parody in NCAA basketball this year, I almost want to tease underodgs the whole tournament - that way I wont suffer the same fate that everyone seems to say this time of year: "Yeah, that upset cost $ me too..."

    Go figure its all on these ticky tacky 1 & 2 point spreads. Might be pricing quite a few teasers at this rate

    those seven LM plays are all in an insignificant range..
    basically pick-em games.

    I'm liking Michigan more and more now. The latest news out of Knoxville is that the Vols got torched by their practice squad after only 1 hour of practicing John Beilein's offense. Also, Scotty Hopson sounds an awful lot like he's looking ahead to Duke.

    What about Long Island going from +19 to +17.5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm seeing the public slightly favoring North Carolina. There's usually a few teams that get sharp action early in the tournament. Murray State was one of them last season. I felt like this was too many points for North Carolina to be laying. Looks like I'm not alone. Not strong reverse line movement by any means from what I'm seeing, but definitely one to look at.
