Default Re: 1st round NCAA/NIT sides and totals

Murph's Tahoe 1st round NCAA Pix.

Gonzaga/Indiana under 142
Davidson +7 -105 (intertops)
OSU/Cent Con over 125.5 (WSEX)
TAMU -13.5
Vandy -3.5
Wazzu -6.5
Illini/VaTech over 117.5
Purdue +2.5
Creighton +1.5
USC -1.5

A lot of action there. My favorites are in order...

Creighton - Nevada distraction factor, NOT the injury. Injuries often see the team missing a player step it up (this trend is very big in the NBA regular season FYI). But with the shitstorm surrounding Fox, and the excuse factor because NV is whining about *how* their player got injured... I see Creighton winning this one.

Illini/VaTech Over. VaTech is 198th in the country in rebounding. Pruitt will be good for 25, and frankly I hope Weber uses my most disliked Illini player - Brock - who is a rebounding machine. That will also keep the game close which is good for a lot of free throw parade points.

Purdue. Carl Landry is Da Bomb. They aren't deep enough to beat top notch teams. Arizona is not one of those teams.

UCLA Yes Sweet 16 -270
Memphis Yes Sweet 16 -220
