NCAA Day 4 - 4 games in

Too much chalk today.  All 4 games have gone to the better seeded team.  All but the UConn / Florida game was kind of boring.  It’s never that interesting when the closest one team gets in the second half is about 7-10 points.  That’s not all that fun to watch.  I remember one March Madness year where there were all sorts of overtime games.  Those were fun games to watch.  Now I don’t think we’ve been anywhere close to getting even one overtime game.

To make it worse, the Sweet 16 is set for the Midwest region, and it is a 1, 2 ,3 and 4 seed.  Yawn….  I thought that region was the weakest of them all, but yet all 4 top seeds made it to the Sweet 16.  To be honest, I’m not sure we are going to get a wacky region.  Then again, there’s always hope for the West.

We are down to 66 people there.

Game 45

Picks for Maryland: 173

Picks for Colorado State: 39

Picks that will get 0 points: 60

Vegas Line: Maryland -7.5

It looks like Colorado State has a 2 point lead with 12 minutes to go!!!  We may have an upset on our hands!!!  If not an upset, at least a watchable game.  This matchup kind of sucks because I like both of these teams.  I would much rather see both of these teams advance that say Purdue or Kentucky.  Colorado State is one of 2 remaining non-power 5 conference teams, and they are both from the Mountain West.  I hope they can hold on.

Game 46

Picks for Iowa State: 165

Picks for Ole Miss: 42

Picks that will get 0 points: 65

Vegas Line: Iowa State -5.5

I fully suspect Iowa State will win this one in one thos e boring games where they jump out to a 10 point lead at halftime, extend that lead to about 16 in the second half.  Despite the announcers best efforts to make the game interesting, Ole Miss only cute the lead to 8 before Iowa State pulls away at he end and wins by about 20.  Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.  I’d be happy to be wrong.  Then again, am I going to cheer too hard for a team that has as its mascot someone that took up arms against the US government?  Probably not.  So, Go Cyclones?

Game 47

Picks for Michigan State: 231

Picks for New Mexico: 12

Picks that will get 0 points: 29

Vegas Line: Michigan State -7.5

I grew up in Michigan.  I have a lot of friends that went to Michigan State.  They usually have teams I like.  I’m sure New Mexico is a fine school in a picturesque state, but I am pulling for the Spartans in this one.

Game 48

Picks for Arizona: 159

Picks for Oregon: 80

Picks that will get 0 points: 33

Vegas Line: Arizona -4

This will never stop being strange to me.  Was it just a year ago that these two teams were in the same conference?  Let’s pour one out for the Pac-12.  Now they are in the Big 12 and Big 10, which also seems strange to me.  Eventually we are just going to have 1 giant power conference and a bunch of smaller conferences.  The 1 giant conference will act like a cabal to keep all the smaller conference teams from getting at large bids.  They may even just decide to jettison the idea that other conferences deserve a shot at the Championship and declare that the winner of the super-conference is that National Champion and only have a super conference tournament.  It’s not too hard to see any of that happening.  It will be sad, but it might happen.

Anyway, this is a 4/5 game, so it will go a long way towards determining tiebreakers at the end of this thing.

That’s it for now.  I’ll be back later tonight, hopefully with odds for 1st place.
