It was nice of the NCAA to schedule a game this morning where we could all (or most of us) pick up some points. I think I may have dozed off after lunch in the second half of the Gonzaga / Oklahoma game. This happens time after time in the tournament. The better team gets up double digits. Stretches it to around 18-20. The other team comes back to around 10 or even 8, but then the better team extends the lead to 12-14 and then time runs out.
Almost that exact same scenario played out in the first game
as well, only in that game the lower-seeded team (Oregon) did it to the
higher-seeded team (Iowa). Thus continuing
the trend of the Pac-12 playing above their seeds and the Big 10 playing below. It’s a particularly bad look for the Big 10 who
are down to just Michigan and Maryland.

- - The brackets that can get the most remaining points
right now are all missing one more remaining Sweet 16 team and at least 2 Elite
8 teams.
- - There are 192 point available in the pool. 53 people are already missing at least 1/2 of
those points. Points of any kind are
going to be at a premium this year.
Picks for UCLA: 31
Picks for Abilene Christian: 2
Picks for Other: 148
Vegas Line: UCLA -4.5
I was really surprised that 2 people took Abilene Christian
to go this far (JoJo D., Jay H.#2). I didn’t
think anyone would take them in the first round, much less the second. I harp on this every year, but the numbers
tell you to take the play-in winner to win a round or two. UCLA is playing really well right now, and
people could pick up some big points if they manage to win this game. Then again, 4.5 points is not a lot. Judging by the way this tournament has been
going, I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see them pull the upset here.
Picks for Creighton: 51
Picks for Ohio: 21
Picks for Other: 109
Vegas Line: Creighton -5.5
I was torn in the first round as to who to take between Virginia
and Ohio. This round it is much clearer. I need Ohio to win this game, and I want the
MAC to win at least one more game. I’m
sure Creighton is a fine school and I’m sure all the players are nice, but I’m
going with the conference I know. Plus,
I was looking at the picks, and there are some people ahead of me in the
standings that the exact same final 4 as me that picked Creighton in this game,
and I can’t really afford to lose more ground to them. Go Bobcats!!!
