Second set of 2 games - Day 1



So it seems like the CBS family of networks is going to schedule the games in a 2-2-2-2-4-4 format, so I will update the overall scores accordingly.  There aren't any games completed yet, but I wanted to give the distributions for the next set of 2.

The next game up is Butler / Winthrop.   The picks are:
Butler: 207
Winthrop: 17

Not too crazy for a 4/13 matchup.  It turns out to be the most lopsided of the 4/13 matchups, although none of them are really that much more appetizing.

The next game up is the game is the Gonzaga / SDSU game.  Sadly, SDSU this year means South Dakota State, not San Diego State.  I'm wearing my South Dakota State t-shirt today anyway.  I'd like to see a 16 beat a 1 someday.  Maybe today, although it would crush my bracket (and most people's).  The distribution is:

Gonzaga:  221
SDSU: 3 (Jim D. #1, Emily W & Joshua R.)  <- brave souls all
VegasLine: Gonzaga by 23.

If SDSU pulls the upset, I think it will surpass Missouri / Norfolk State as the biggest upset in NCAA tournament history based on the point spreads.  There's another game today that could surpass it also, but 23 points is a lot....

The early games are almost done and they are looking pretty close.  I'll be back with the updated standings when they are finished.  Good luck to everyone!!!!!
