BYU ML v Xavier

BYU has a couple of big men that Xavier cannot match. If Xavier sags to shut them down, BYU has a plethera of 3-point bombers. I don't see Xavier stopping BYU enough to win.

MSU ML v Marquette

MSU rebounding reigns supreme in this one. Though I am afraid of MSU's turnover propensity.

Indiana ML v Gonzaga

Who stops DJ White with Heytfeldt out? No one unless Gonzaga sags alot. If that happens, IU has more than enough 3-point bombers. IU, like MSU, is also a very *tough* team right now.

May I ask why you are going straight moneylines??

why did I bet the moneyline and not +2???? [censored]
anyway, Xavier was able to drive and draw fouls. The free throws allowed them to keep up with BYU's scoring. Oh well...close loss
