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

Holy ****, can we have a Final Three? These two teams are pathetic. Butler has 18 turnovers and Gus Johnson says they're running a clinic.

That was fuc king pathetic. Can I get the right side of the bracket winner over the left side winner right now? Jesus Christ, what an imbalance.

Frank Martin is a fu cking moron. How the hell do you lose to a team with zero frontline that commits 19 turnovers? You might want to tell your guards to stop dribbling for eight hours and feed Curtis Kelly, you f ucking oversized suit wearing douchebag.

Eh, f*ck K-State. Who give a sh1t about them anyways. Nobody would remember next year if they made the Final Four, but they'll be talking about Butler coming home for 20.

I don't know how Butler does it, because on just about every metric they are pretty much mediocre, but they just WIN. And that's all that matters to me.

LOL, what a disaster this second week has been. This is what happens when you can't pick your spots. I should've packed it up after the first two rounds, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

-105
28-27-2

Kentucky -4
220/200

The Butler, WV, Baylor, Tenn final 4 will do about the same ratings as the Turfway park debacle did today on the USA network
