My aversion to this Michigan team is long-storied. I don’t actually dislike the team in general. They aren’t a team that I just don’t like like Duke or Kentucky, but I don’t like the premise that if you are a top-10 ranked team in the pre-season, you can’t possibly lose enough times to miss the tournament. That being said, they look pretty good. I didn’t think Tennessee looked bad in this game, but they faded a little bit when it counted and that was enough in an otherwise close game. The legend of Rick Barnes underachieving is alive and well. Something to remember for next years’ pool, I guess.
Providence looks like the only favorite that is doing what
favorites should do, but the games not over, so the score there isn’t included
yet.

The UCLA / St. Mary’s game is at half time right now. St. Mary’s started of pretty fast, but UCLA
has come back to take a comfortable lead.
Here are the stats:
Vegas Line: UCLA -3
Picks for UCLA: 165
Picks for St. Mary’s: 29
Picks for Other: 18
A 7-point deficit doesn’t seem like all that much in this
tournament. St. Mary’s could make this
one close. 4/5 games are notoriously
close, and most of the games today have come right down to the wire. We’ll see what happens there. People that have UCLA will be feeling pretty
happy if they make it to the Sweet 16, given no Kentucky or Baylor.
Vegas Line: Murray State -8.5
Picks for Murray State: 15
Picks for St. Peter’s: 0
Picks for Other: 197
Well, if you aren’t one of the 15 people to take Murray
State here, you are definitely rooting for St. Peter’s. It’s the “if I can’t win, no one can win”
strategy. I talked about the nice T-shirt
I have for St. Peter’s. I decided to
wear it today. We’ll see if that is yet
again the kiss of death. It has been so
far. Honestly, I’m not sure it ever
works.
