1st round NCAA/NIT sides and totals

It was December 2003.

I live in the French Quarter. Prior to the storm, NOLA had to be one of the top travel destinations for sports fans. I see fans of pretty much every team come here for events. I can tell you that if you are capping the Memphis/N. Texas game based on it being a home game for Memphis you are making a huge mistake.

Memphis may bring some people but it will not be like UNC in Winston Salem or Louisville in Lexington.

First, tickets are floating around town for this thing like cigarettes in prison. I have turned down several. Second, it is the noon game on Friday. The turnout for these afternoon games is usually horrnedous.

NOLA is not a hoops town. If the arena is 1/3 full for the afternoon session, I'll be shocked.

All right, maybe I'm wrong on the Nevada/Creighton game. I was never all that sold on Nevada to begin with, so I might just make this a no-play. I was mainly just looking to fade Creighton here anyway. The problem is that Creighton, Nevada, and Memphis who are all overrated IMO are all in the same 'pod' together. I guess I'll have to wait for the winner to take on Louisville (or Texas A&M) before I really get something I can take advantage of.
