    Tournament Thoughts

    Books were all over it: public (and maybe everyone) leaned heavily on the dogs, and they got crushed...

    especially on their favorite ones: Vermont, South Dakota State, Colgate squeaked by-- or their favorite faves: Duke....

    Davidson and Loyola were not really underdogs, but they were the smaller schools and pub loved them.

    More to the point, teams that looked pretty horrible over the last month - and people had no confidence in, inflicted a lot of pain

    Iowa State
    Texas
    Michigan Teams

    I swear nobody likes Creighton especially with their big injury, and looked what happened there...

    I will post my thoughts going forward....real soon...There's been a development...

    Next Game Kansas versus Creighton

    Teams like Creighton that have been killing people for so long still cover when they go down...I like Kansas as a team good enough, but not enough to take them. No play.

    I agree these smaller conference pk ems are public plays even though you would think the opposite

    Michigan a true dog nobody likes. People like St. Mary's a lot!
    Murray State seems to be a consensus.

    I think sharp money is on Memphis...This is all FWIW.

    It's a little more than that, Gold. Books were assassins and hyper focused on the games with huge disparities. Books don't lose that Duke game. Nice little free lay-up at the end there....The Michigans...it's not just 50/50....

    East Region has too many good teams. Midwest has none.

    This is why we discuss and get things out. Nobody likes Creighton, so you take them!!

    Also, less games now, more eyeballs--> games will be close.

    Fade my totals and you’d be a millionaire. I went totals because I was sick either winning by 20 or losing by 1

    Creighton covered easily, Michigan covered easily. UCLA is cruising. not that tight here, I guess I inquired about Memphis, so that game could be close...and around the line like all Zag games seem to be

    So I said Creighton was the play (but I, personally, wasn’t going to take them based off principle).

    I then proceeded to say this is the moment you want to fade the public and proceeded to give you.

    Michigan
    UCLA
    St.Joseph’s

    For the last pick, I told you sharps were on Memphis. That’s 5-0. Granted a little nuanced and not a loud mouth soup 5-0, but freaking 5 winners snd zero losers.

    What more do you want from me?!

    I wished some of the podcasts I listen to dealt it out like that (not just the fact they won) in a clear -lead me to the promised land-fashion!
