    Honestly I am a little concerned that so many are picking the Gauchos but win or lose it will be a fun week.

    Got Kent state and firman with points, wouldn’t be surprised if they win

    Could see possible FAU upsetting Purdue in round 2

    Also have Kent State getting to the sweet 16

    And creighton beating Baylor in the 2nd round

    Last year model performance:

    2022
    No. 11 Michigan Wolverines (59%) vs. No. 6 Colorado State Rams - Mich win by 12
    No. 11 Iowa State Cyclones (42%) vs. No. 6 LSU Tigers - ISU win by 5
    No. 11 Virginia Tech Hokies (39%) vs. No. 6 Texas Longhorns - UT win by 8
    No. 12 Indiana Hoosiers (32%) vs. No. 5 Saint Mary’s Gaels - SMC wins by 29
    No. 13 Vermont Catamounts (29%) vs. No. 4 Arkansas Razorbacks - ARK wins by 4
    No. 13 Chattanooga Mocs (23%) vs. No. 4 Illinois Fighting Illini - ILL wins by 1
    No. 11 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (22%) vs. No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide - ND wins by 14
    No. 14 Colgate Red Raiders (21%) vs. No. 3 Wisconsin Badgers - WISC wins by 7
    No. 13 South Dakota State Jackrabbits (20%) vs. No. 4 Providence Friars - PROV wins by 9
    No. 12 New Mexico State Aggies (12.5%) vs. No. 5 Connecticut Huskies - NMSU wins by 7

    The lower seed went 4-6 in these games, and it seems like the model was pretty good at identifying 12-13 seeds with potential.

    Fade the "slow down, grind it out" teams like Virginia, St. Mary's, San Diego State. Fade teams coached by Rick Barnes. Fade NC State.

    Memphis over Purdue. Kent State over Indiana. Take Xavier to cover they love running up the score in the first round under Sean Miller.

    Texas and Duke have favorable matchups. Colgate and Oral Roberts will let them run.

    Kent State is only a 4 point dog.

    How about Oral Roberts over Duke... or Colgate over Texas... Iona over Uconn...

    I think Oral Roberts should not be underestimated, especially on the numbers. A likely inflated market here with good tourney squat at Oral.

    When those two types of lines cross, it's usually a gift to the value bettor.

    Yeah, was typing about Oral as you were posting. Could be a place to find a good bet all the way up to the close.

    Yale to beat Vandy outright.
    Princeton loses to Arizona but keeps it within the 14.5

    Don't sleep on the top two Ivy dogs.
    Those smart kids know basketball too.

    Do I dare say it?
    Iona covers the 9.5 vs. UConn

    Duke is one of the hottest teams now, I wouldn't have them being upset in R1. Don't know how far they will go but they seem like a dangerous team going into the Big Dance.

    Oral Roberts is a square dog. Duke will run them out of the building.
