Surprises Abound

The number of turnovers by the Orange was shocking.  They didn't look focused or prepared.  Believe it or not, after all the energy that Kansas St. expended beating Xavier in double overtime, Butler has a shot to go back to Indy and play in the Final Four on their home turf.

Whether you are playing my picks or someone elses or your own, play the rest of this tourney with caution.  These games are obviously trickier than the regular season.  Just because the game is higher profile doesn't mean you have to bet on it or bet a lot on it.

Saint Mary's +5 vs Baylor

Another close finish with SMC having a really good shot at moving on.

Northern Iowa +1 vs Michigan St.

No Lucas.  No answer for UNI's size.  Ali for 3.  Sorry Carlos.

Tennessee vs Ohio St. -4

Turner is a beast.
