Great Danes vs Blue Devils MidWest Region Spread/Handicapping
The Blue Devils made an early exit from the ACC tournament but it didn’t damage their profile too much as they are still a #2 seed.
Tigers vs Rams MidWest Region Spread/Handicapping
The Rams are riding the Mountain West Conference wave this year. They had another very good season losing just 8 games all season long and finishing second in the MWC.
Panthers vs Shockers West Region Spread/Handicapping
All of the advanced metrics say that this Pittsburgh team is really good. They aren’t horrible but I just don’t see it. What I do see is a team that is better than average in the deepest conference in America. They have a few nice wins but this is probably one of the least impressive Pitt teams of the past decade.
Broncos vs Explorers Play In Game Spread/Handicapping
They are not as good as the football team but the basketball Broncos are better than you think. They were a very good 12-2 in the nonconference part of their schedule including an impressive win at Creighton that wasn’t even close.
Wolfpack vs Hurricanes ACC Tourney Spread/Handicapping
The Wolfpack were able to get the game flowing and had a relatively easy time in beating Virginia, beating by 20 a team they lost to earlier in the season.
Bulldogs vs Billikens A-10 Tourney Spread/Handicapping
The Bulldogs are doing their usual thing of building towards the tournament. They exorcised a demon in the quarterfinals by beating a La Salle team that beat them earlier in the season.
Wolverines vs Badgers A-10 Tourney Spread/Handicapping
The Wolverines are the second highest ranked team in the conference despite finishing tied for fourth in the standings. As a result they didn’t get a bye like Wisconsin even though they were tied with them.
Wolfpack vs Cavaliers A-10 Tourney Spread/Handicapping
The Wolfpack had a pretty easy time of it in beating Virginia Tech to advance to the next round of the ACC Tournament. Now it is Virginia, a team they lost to earlier during the season setting off a mini-slump.
Hawks vs Musketeers A-10 Tourney Spread/Handicapping
If memory serves I think there was some buzz about the Hawks being a surprise team in the Atlantic 10 conference this season.
Bears vs Cowboys Pac 12 Tourney Spread/Handicapping
Huge win by the Bears to close the season. By toppling Kansas, handily by the way, they were able to finish the conference schedule with a .500 record and prove they can play with the big boys.
Utes vs Trojans Pac 12 Tourney Spread/Handicapping
The Utes might have surprised by winning as many as 5 conference games this season (out of 18). They snuck out of last by sweeping the Oregon teams on the last weekend, including beating a ranked Ducks team by 10.
Red Storm vs Wildcats Big East Tourney Spread/Handicapping
The Red Storm have become an odd program of late. For years they were trying to reclaim a spot among the upper echelon on the Big East and just when it looked like they might be on that path everything began to unravel.
Sun Devils vs Cardinal Pac 12 Tourney Spread/Handicapping
A couple of weeks ago Arizona State was in great shape…then they lost their last 4 games to finish just 9-9 in a far from stacked PAC 12. They have 20 victories on the season but probably need at least a couple more to improve their position on the bubble.
Gaels vs Bulldogs CBB Basketball Spread/Handicapping
When you are talking about the West Coast Conference the conversation doesn’t completely end with Gonzaga. That is because the Gaels program has really emerged over the last few seasons.
Wildcats vs Cowboys CBB Basketball Spread/Handicapping
Is it possible that Kansas State, with supposedly awful coach Bruce Weber, is really a top 10 team? Based on their body of work so far it is tough to argue with as they look to close out the season on a tremendous run – they have won 10 of their last 11 heading into Saturday.
