What is the spread on Niagara/Kansas? Niagara won't lose by more than 15 and has as good a shot at winning as any 16 has ever had. Marist just won at Oklahoma St in the NIT last night in a direct matchup between the two leagues. Take away Niagara's 1-6 start when half their team was suspended and they are 22-5 since.

Curry was awesome. I agree, it looked like Davidson ran out of steam.

Snipe, The line I saw Kansas -19, I think Niagara also is going to
give them a very tough game.

Not a good way to compare. Oklahoma ST. completely gave up on their coach the last few games of the conference, and even though they got a big win against ATM (on cruise control, coach did not care about seed) in the Big 12 tourney, they were playing the tourney on their home floor. OK. ST. was absolutely horrible the last 10 or so games. They played as poorly as any team with talent as I have seen.

On the other hand if Niagra can play some D... Kansas is a great team against teams that want to run and play athletic with them. Hope Niagra plays the slow down game. Only team more athletic and as deep as Kansas is North Carolina. But I think Kansas plays out of control. Kansas was beaten by poised teams in conf. ATM and Texas Tech.

btw... been gone so sorry if this has already been discussed: I have not flippin idea how Texas Tech made the tourney. If you had to take another team from the Big 12 (which I would not have) it would have been Kansas St.

but I want revenge when it counts. I was really hoping they would lose so I could see every person that walked in the store tomorrow with their bottom lips dragging on the ground...

Wow, I continue to amaze myself. I couldn't have been more wrong if I tried. This is why I love college basketball though. Everytime you are sure of something it completely blows up in your face.
