Week 2 NCAA tournament lines are out: What sticks out?

[No coincidences]

You always have a chance if you don't give up any points. Defense is suffocating, buys time for the offense to figure things out. And how many points do you need really when opponent can;t get out of the 50s.

Florida, Arizona and Virginia all have better defenses than Louisville. The Cards' defensive numbers are skewed, too, by their schedule (ranked 106th) and the fact that they've only played 12 games against the Top-100 (just 7-5).

[leetreaper]

Computers loveeee Louisville. They've loved them all year.

Louisville 19-14 ATS on the year and 5-0 last 5, if that means nothing to you than i don't know what to say.

Nope. Means nothing. What is your point exactly??

Yep. Pitino has not covered 3 tourney games I believe in last 3-4 years

[leetreaper]

Nope. Means nothing. What is your point exactly??

It means they are getting the job done.

[t-wizzle]

It means they are getting the job done.

Yea. Everyone knows they've been getting the job done.

Again, what is your point? That those games somehow influence Friday's game coming up?

My point is that 5 points is nothing for them vs Kentucky, enjoy...

You just rattled off my Final Four. Show the importance I place on defense.

[Big Bear]

Good for him. Never wished him any ill will. For some reason he likes to bash me in my threads. It must give him some sort of pleasure.

he bashes me too. And he boast like a mofo in his threads.

yet he keeps winning. I think he has a deal with the devil.

[k13]

Kids going to lose lot of money on msu, michigan, Kentucky and maybe even florida.

[KRIT]

Stanford should get it done against Dayton. They are just the better team.

I think Tennessee can beat Michigan. Michigan is overrated, Tennessee is a great defensive team that should be able to contest their jumpers on the perimeter. Stokes should dominate the paint against Morgan.

Lean Baylor with the points, they're hot and look unstoppable right now. Although I do think Wisky matches up pretty well with them with their shooters.

Gators
Stanford
Zona
Badgers
Louisville
Vols

Virginia & Mich St. is the hardest game in the Sweet 16.
Anyone who says they can handicap this game better than I can by flipping a coin is full of

I don't know how significant the Cyclones injuries' are but they are significant enough to keep me off this game entirely.
Only thing I'm pretty sure of is that, the Cyclones won't blow out UCONN.

Picking winners was hard enough this weekend without bothering with the spreads.

Good Luck

Bear, you're not really betting against Napier this week are you?

[Big Bear]

Bear, you're not really betting against Napier this week are you?

nah bruh

in fact i'm doing a 3 team ML parlay with Florida, UCONN, and Michigan State.

[stevenash]

Bear, you're not really betting against Napier this week are you?

Kemba took him under his wing as a sophomore.
He's Kemba 2.0

[Cuse0323]

Everyone trying to figure out these coin flips when the easy money is right there with Stanford.

[Madison]

Kentucky is the value. Lou inconsistent.

[Da Manster!]

Louisville 19-14 ATS on the year and 5-0 last 5, if that means nothing to you than i don't know what to say.

leetreaper,
slight correction, bud...Louisville didn't cover in the first round against Manhattan...they were favored by 16.5...

[NardVa]

UK was happy to beat Wichita. These freshmen think they won the championship. Louisville wins. Michigan is gone run Tennessee out of the gym. Vols have fools gold on offense . UCLA will beat Florida. UCLA has the athletes to beat the Florida defense.

Correct, Michigan will croak the Vols, UCLA will not beat Fla though.

Louisville -5--Kentucky played the game of the year for them against Witchita State. Louisville is a different animal and Ricky has them clicking on all cylinders!!!!!! Also I can guarantee Ricky wants revenge from the first lost at Kentucky earlier in year.

Louisville wants it more and the Kentucky players are thinking about the NBA draft. Louisville wins this by 20 points.

[RollinDo]

This thread just full of opinions. Some say UK +5 easy...Some L'ville by 20.
This is college hoops folks!
I do like L'ville to win and like the UF/L'ville ML parlay right now.
Also leaning UCLA and L'ville to cover, but too tough to figure out.

Consider betting money lines, maybe just bet who you think is going to win, not by how much, but just win.
If you like two m/l favorites, consider m/l parlay, just a thought.

Steve, you're a Uconn guy. Who do you like Uconn/Iowa St game? Probably the hardest game of the 8 to get a read on.

Kentucky just played Florida(best team in the nation) within 1.Beat undefeated Wichita state and now catching +5 from Louisville is a gift.Cal has this team playing on another level now. In their ass all season trying to get them to play together.Now Tourney time...he's acting like their cheerleader. This is a mismatch in every position on the floor.(in Kentucky's favor) with two 7 footers in case one gets in foul trouble (Cauley Stein, Dakari Johnson). Tell me one match up (position wise) that favors Louisville? Kentucky has already beat them once this year while the Harrison twins were playing horrible. Cal has 5 wins over Patino since coming to Kentucky. Patino has 1 win against Cal (last year was his only win. He says himself he under-recruited last year). I live in Louisville and it is hilarious to hear these Louisville fans calling in on our sports radio show terrified. Radio host finally had to tell everyone to stop with all the negativity. All they keep saying is "wish we were facing Wichita state instead of Kentucky". Louisville fans that are calling in to our radio shows are completely baffled by this line. Louisville is nothing like last year. How can you pull the trigger on Louisville? Kentucky M/L is the play
