NCAA Day 4 - 2 games in

This was what I expected in the first game.  It was a good game – if you were a Duke fan, or wanted to take a nap or, in my case, take a shower.  I even managed to read a few pages of the book I’ve been neglecting for the better part of last week.  Thanks Duke.  I appreciate the time you gave me to concentrate on other things.

Game 43

Picks for Kentucky: 161

Picks for Illinois: 81

Picks that will get 0 points: 30

Vegas Line: Illinois -1.5

I think that line will surprise some people.  Vegas thinks that Illinois is slightly better than Kentucky, but Kentucky is the 3 seed and Illinois is the 6.  I think this represents 2 of the bigger seeding story lines in this tournament.  I think the committee overseeded the SEC, and slightly underseeded the Big 10.  I think both of these teams have had really good games, but both seem pretty inconsistent to me.  I think Illinois has the higher ceiling, which may account for the point spread.  According to the lines, this should be the most exciting game of the day.  It certainly will go a long way towards the winner of this pool.

Game 44

Picks for Alabama: 230

Picks for St. Mary’s: 27

Picks that will get 0 points: 15

Vegas Line: Alabama -5.5

5.5 doesn’t seem like much to me.  Alabama showed a little something in pulling out their first round game against Robert Morris, but it certainly wasn’t the walk in the park people were expecting in a 15/2 game.  Robert Morris had the lead in the second half of that game.  St. Mary’s was down 7 at half-time, but dominated in the 2nd half, thus sparing us a potential SEC v SEC 2nd round game.  I’m hoping Alabama peaked too early, and that St. Mary’s wins here.  Plus, you know…  Mid-major v power conference.  It’s like catnip.
