    What is going on with the chalk in these tournaments!?

    In the Big East favorites are 8-0 ats.
    In the Pac-12 tournament favorites are 4-0 ats.
    In the A-10 tournament favorites are 4-0 ats.
    In the Big 12 favorites are 1-1 ats.
    In Conference USA the favorites are 3-1 ats.

    I know you are supposed to lay the favorites in these tournaments, but this is crazy.

    Will the dogs come back at all?
    Should I bet every favorite in the Mountain West, SEC, Big 10, and ACC tournaments?

    The better teams are just doing what they are suppose to do.

    Vegas will adjust the lines and things will even out in the end.

    Dont count on it ....I've seen tides change quickly the next day and dogs will end up covering like the first 8 games. May happen tomorrow if the public isnt careful.

    Realize that MANY of those favorites covered by just a basket last night (Louisville, UCLA come to mind) and had the bounces gone the other way it would've been a relatively normal day.

    The past has no bearing on the future in this game. Vegas isn't going to "adjust" all of their goddam lines because mostly faves covered on a Wednesday.

    You cannot argue how much a team covered by, as long as they cover. In first round conference games, it is hard for teams like Louisville to maintain 15 point leads in the last 10min against junk teams. A few dogs will win outright today.
