Hello my friends, today i will be posting my NCAA Tournament plays with small right ups for each.I apologize for not posting yesterday, but i got caught up in handicapping this tourney. I had a slow start in the morning games dropping my first 3 plays, but after that i did quite well and seemed to get into the flow of things. One thing that really stood out to me was the fact that alot of the heavier favorites were taken down to the wire by the smaller schools. For example #14 American University came really close to beating #3 Villanova, the Eagles had a 9 point lead in the beginning of the 2nd half only to see it slip away at the end. It will be interesting to see what heavy favorite struggles today against a weaker opponent, so without further to do i will get started.

Stephen F. Austin (+11.5) at Syracuse(-11.5)
In a nutshell the Orange have to be worn out mentally after working hard to get to their conference championship game only to lose it to Louisville 76-66. I think in any other situation they would cover this spread but since they have had a rough go of it lately i think they win a close game. The Lumberjacks have played some good defense this year so it should help them stay within the number.
Betting On: Stephen F. Austin(+11.5)(-110)

Memphis(+11.5) at New Orleans(-11.5)
Their are some key injuries for the Hornets tonight and it will probably be enough to slow down their scoring against an already offensively challenged Memphis squad. I can see the pace of this game moving slower than a snail race so i will play the under and hope that the Grizzlies continue to struggle.
Betting On: Under 190.5(-110)(3.30 units)
Final Score:
Memphis 84
New Orleans 96 (win)(+3.00 units)

I know the Raptors are a horrible team, but I'm looking at the revenge factor on this game, not to mention the Raptors play much better at home and now have an easy schedule ahead of them the rest of the season.

Siena(+2) at Ohio St(-2)
I think the buckeyes have a better team and I expect them to outplay this very talented Siena team. The biggest difference between these 2 teams is the ability for the Buckeyes to play defense as they allow 59.4 ppg compared to Siena allowing 72.2 ppg. Ohio State has had a much harder schedule versus much better competition, they are battle tested and should have no problem tonight covering the spread.
Betting On: Ohio State(-2)(-110)(11.00 units)
Final Score:
Siena 74
Ohio St 72 (Final/2 OT)(lost)(-11.00 units)
