Creighton gets a very generous - in my opinion - 6 seed, and only has to travel to Denver. Most talking heads had them on the #7 line, and I thought that was a bit too kind.

Hawkeyes have to play Auburn in Birmingham. I don’t see that going well.

After seeing NC State in person I feel like I am an expert on all things Wolfpack(kidding) . They have a chubby bordering on fat big man with really good feet. That's about it

Purdue will lose in the 2nd round. Either Memphis or FAU can beat them.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the Big Ten teams are out after the first weekend.

I'm seeing it opined on Twitter that Rutgers missing out pretty much guarantees Nebraska won't be in the NIT field.

The NIT bubble is enough for many to want to throw multiple more years into the garbage instead of Fred

I actually thought Creighton was good enough for a 5 seed. I’m a gambling degenerate that’s familiar with all of these teams. I’m impressed with no BIG teams, especially Purdue. Indiana and Michigan State will lose early. And Furman, VCU, Iona, and Oral Roberts are my dark horses. I’ve won money with all four of those teams. They’re good.

They probably should be a 4...maybe a 3.

Unfortunately, the Big Ten us made its bed with terrible showings the past couple of years. Hopefully, they reverse course and play above seeding.

The conference requires the blue bloods in the conference to benefit from calls all year. The dumbasses still don’t understand that kills their teams when the tourney starts.

Creighton has a really strong NET but they haven't beaten anyone of substance away from home since that tournament in Maui several months ago. I'm pulling for the Jays to do well, but they are soft as Hell when they step outside of Omaha.

Michigan State might beat USC, as the Trojans are banged up and not playing very well, but they won't beat Marquette. I'm not impressed with Indiana but they seem to have a pretty easy path through the first weekend.

KSU scores.

I still love UVA -5 in the first round, that is a metric line

Mizzo getting points is odd.

Arkansas is going to hold Illinois under 62...enjoy the free money

Kent st only +4 vs indiana

Utah st are very good and extremely hot

B1G only favored in 2 of 5 games on thurs (Sparty -2, Hoosiers -4)

Obviously already max bet Boise (pk) over northwestern

Arkansas will run Illini out of the gym

Been preaching this since Huskers Big 12 days. NCAA has no idea how full a 1st & 2nd round venue would be (especially if was within 300 miles) if Huskers got invited and advanced. Yes I'm one of the idiotic ones that would do my best to be in attendence.

UVA will win by 12

Boise sucks but that game will be weird because NW sucks too.

Oh boy, the suspense is killing me. Half the field is announced and no Huskers yet. :rolleyes:

I don't know. KU just got their a$$es kicked by texas for the second time in a week. I think they were lucky to get a 1 seed at all. They play well when everything is clicking, but they aren't consistent enough. It wouldn't surprise me to see them lose to Arkansas in the second round.

If Michigan State somehow shoots like they did in Lincoln, they will beat Marquette and wreck a lot of brackets.
