That being said, I am not touching them the rest of the tourney. Coach K, Pitino, and Izzo are my favorite coaches so I am not touching Duke for the rest of the tourney. Also, Plumlee can't play physical and Currey is NOT EVEN CLOSE to his brother. If Duke makes it past MSU, Louisville's full court press will break them.
On another note of public money, will any of us really take Oregon straight up even if 99% of money is on Louisville? I don't think so.
I don't trust college b-ball teams to have the ability or will to cover a spread and I don't think NBA players care enough to cover a spread (plus we all know that Stern rigs the NBA daily), so that is why I try to stay away from b-ball spreads as much as possible...now football is a different story.
