Check back in the thread slodirt. Ateam was on them about a month ago.

Oh, my bad, I forgot that because someone else has an opinion, I can't have the same one. Sorry, ateam!

Racers are only 3-point dogs against Vanderbilt, so it's probably not just us two with that opinion.

Montana +9 seems like a play as does Ok St -1.5

I didnt mean it the way you took it so I apologize if I came off the wrong way.

As for games, Wofford plus the 9. What do you think boys?

It sucks. I would've preferred any of the other 4 seeds and even one of the 3's (Pitt) to Wisconsin, which is a very, very tough matchup. Wofford plays good defense, but they rely on causing turnovers and Wisconsin is 3rd in the country in turnover rate. Wisconsin also has the bigs in Nankivil and Leuer to shut down Dahlman. The good news is that on offense, Wisconsin relies heavily on three-pointers and Wofford defends the three well so covering the 9 is within reach. Diggs and Rundles and Dahlman have to get to the line often, because Wofford isn't going to get many second chances. Unfortunately it's tough for me to see them pulling the upset, as much as I wanted to pick them.

The expert from ESPN just said KY has no chance to get to the Final Four....And with that, KY just got to the Final Four.

Agreed- and Bo Ryan just does not lose in the first round. But that being said... I think they cover.

Yeah the experts on CBS and ESPN said Kentucky has a tough road. I don't see it.
