NCAA March Madness - Day 5

How sweet it is! Do you think the games have lived up to the hype thus far? Even though I've hit an impressive 85% straight up in the tournament, my bracket is looking a tad beat up. Currently my mother in-law is winning the annual family tournament. Usually we laugh at her because she picks all the #1 seeds to go to the Final Four (this year included); however, this year she could be on to something. So what gives? Is the tournament extremely boring because the top seeds are running away with it? I think it's just that the top seeds are playing like top seeds should. I never dreamed OSU would come back from a 9 pt deficit against Xavier last Saturday. I didn't expect Oregon to be where they are today. I really thought Miami OH would beat them. I think Texas A&M is a fraud yet they are in the Sweet 16 and could be headed to the Final Four! So is this tournament going to continue to play out as it should, with the top seeds earning a trip to Hotlanta? Time will tell. Until then, let's profit!
I expect the team in BOLD to win the game outright.


Thursday March 22nd

Memphis +3.5 over Texas A&M
Ohio State -4.5 over Tennessee
Kansas
-8.5 over So. Illinois
Pittsburgh +3.5 over UCLA

BET OF THE NIGHT.....4 pt teaser with Kansas -4.5 and Pitt +7.5!

Best of Luck,

Oh, I see. Wait till game time to post your picks. Are you that afraid of my critisism?
Fortunately for you I had some things to get done last night and I can't very well tell you how I saw last night shaking out now.
Some great games last night.
As for your performance, 3-1 SU and 1-3 ATS is not helping you hit your targets. I have you at 43-9 SU (83%) and 28-23-1 ATS (53%). Those close games are killing you huh? How about your bets of the night? A big fat 0-2. Way to make some money!
By the way, can you try to get today's picks up at a reasonable hour so I have a chance to tear them apart? Thanks.
