After North Carolina game....

That was a game of runs for both teams, but it looks like North Carolina had a little more ability to make a run than Michigan State.  I guess MCU still overperformed, but not too much.  North Carolina was also playing in North Carolina, so they had another advantage.

Here is the breakdown of the second set of games.

Game 37

NC State v Oakland

Vagas Line: NC State -6.5

Picks for NC State: 30

Picks ofr Oakland: 2

Picks for Other: 242

How many people had this matchup?  9 people.  That’s it.  Of those 9, only 3 of them are currently sitting in the top ½ of the rankings.  That’s why this tournament is so tough.  You can hit both of these teams, but people tend to pick a lot crazier stuff.  It’s so hard to be selective.  It’s like trying to predict peaks in a sporadic forecast.  It’s nearly impossible to do.  Someone will though, and that person will win this thing.

Game 38

Tennessee v Texas

Vegas Line: Tennessee -6.5

Picks for Tennessee: 227

Picks for Texas: 26

Picks for Other: 21

See what I mean about the 6.5 point spread?  This is 3 games in row with that exact same line.  This is the Rick Barnes game, as he is the current head coach at Tennessee, and used to be the coach at Texas.  That wasa long time ago.  It is where the reputation for choking started.  He had Kevin Durant once, and still didn’t make the Final 4, but one time.  He perpetually underachieves.  IF he doesn’t lose this game, he’ll still have a chance to underachieve in the next one.  I guess that’s the curse of being a 1 or 2 seed.  If you don’t make it really far, it looks bad.

Game 39

Illinois v Duquesne

Vegas Line: Illinois -10

Picks for Illinois: 193

Picks for Duquesne: 7

Picks for Other: 74

It’s the t-shirt game of the day!  My wife gave me a hard time for yesterday’s picture.  She said I was holding the camera too low and wasn’t smiling.  We remedied that today by having her take the picture.  Is Duquesne going to win?  Probably not.  If they do, I hope everyone shares the attached picture far and wide.  Go Dukes!!!

Game 40

Creighton v Oregon

Vegas Line: Creighton -5

Picks for Creighton: 186

Picks for Oregon: 54

Picks for Other: 34

If Tennessee and Creighton happen to play each other in the Sweet 16, it will really be a battle of teams that traditionally choke.  If it happens, I predict a ton of missed free throws and layups.  Then again, it might not happen.  Oregon is pretty decent.  They could pull the upset here – or Texas could beat Tennessee earlier in the day.  I kind of hope Oregon wins so I can wear my Oregon T-shirt in the next round.  I mentioned that it’s my favorite T-shirt before.  I wouldn’t mind showing that one off.

Good luck to everyone!!!!!
