NCAA NOtes (so far)
For just the fourth time in 30 years, a 5-seed did not lose to a 12-seed in the opening round and three of the four are in the Sweet 16. And remember last week when John Calipari was whining about Kentucky being shipped out to Boise for a variety of reasons? Well, nobody has heard a word from Coach Cal now that his Wildcats are playing in Atlanta and are strong favorites to reach the Final Four, matched up against seeds that are ninth and either No. 7 or No. 11.
With all the craziness, let's look back at what the numbers reflected, starting with sides action, based on the closing lines.
Higher Seeds: 33-15 SU and 21-26-1 ATS
Favorites: 36-15 SU and 24-26-1 ATS
Favorites of 1 to 4.5 points: 12-8 SU and 8-12 ATS
Favorites of 5 to 9.5 points: 7-4 SU and 5-5-1 ATS
Favorites of 10 to 14.5 points: 11-2 SU and 7-6 ATS
Favorites of 15 or more points - 6-1 SU and 4-3 ATS
