I would have made it Duke -4.5, I guess it came out at -4 according to PG.

My formula-generated lines for each game (a work in progress but getting close to polished, it's up to a 60% winning percentage over a sample size of 2,000 games with approximately 600 of those having a play at 3.5 points differing from the line):
Baylor/Duke -4.5 O/U 143.5
WV/Kentucky -6 O/U 138.5
Butler/K-State -7 O/U 135
Tennessee/Mich St +1.5 O/U 128

FWIW, the Sweet 16 lines it generated:
Tennessee/Ohio St -2 O/U 131
UNI/Michigan St -6 O/U 121
St Marys/Baylor -4 O/U 147
Duke/Purdue -8 O/U 132
Xavier/K-State -2.5 O/U 148
Butler/Syracuse -7 O/U 136
Cornell/Kentucky -12 O/U 149
Washington/West Virginia -3 141.5
