4 UNIT PLAY

Syracuse -4.5 over Kansas State: The Cuse really need to make a statement here. They got heir wake up call vs Ashevile and after what happened yesterday I don't expect any of the top seeds will take their opponents lightly. The Cuse is the deepest team in the field and they have had a game to further adjust to the loss of Melo, so they may not miss him as much in this game. Kansas State is a tough team and had a great year, but this is not a good time for them to be facing a Syracuse team that is out to make a statement.

3 UNIT PLAY

VCU +6 Over Indiana--- When Indiana played NMSU the other day, they seemed to be playing a team that was overwhelmed by evewrthing that goes on at the Big Dance. The aggies just didn't have a clue and the Hoosiers took advantage and beat em up pretty good. The won't happen here with this VCU squad, as they have been here before and have done very well with a Final four appearance last year. They will not be intimidated. This is a very sound team as it is and hey should be able to keep this one close, or win it outright, Offensively Indiana has been hot, but the they may not be able to hold up to the pressure that the Rams will throw at them. This one will go down to the wire.

2 UNIT PLAY

UMass +7.5 over SETON HALL--- Just too many points here for a team that can score as well as Umass. Seton Hall won their opener, but still struggled with Stony Brook and UMass is much better. Seton Hall is still not thrilled about being here and after today they may not have to worry about that any more.

SPORTS WAGERS

Ohio State -7½ over Gonzaga

7½-points may seem like a bit too much after what Gonzaga did to West Virginia. The Zags were a very small dog against the Mountaineers but came out on fire and put them away early. This isn’t the pedestrian Mountaineers. Truth is, the Zags are getting a little too much respect here by the public. The Zags have a strong reputation in this event (14 straight appearances) and that easy first round win has their stock much higher than it should be. Gonzaga finished second in the WCC to St. Mary’s. The Gaels are on the rail after losing to Purdue last night. The other team in this field from that conference was BYU, who lost by 20 to Marquette. The rest of the conference featured a bunch of cupcakes. The Zags lost to both BYU and St. Mary’s, not to mention losses to Michigan State and Illinois. Their record is impressive but their résumé is not. The Buckeyes are scary good. Jared Sullinger is an absolute beast on the low blocks who can't be stopped defenses. When foes choose to surround Sullinger, Ohio State's other two double-figure scorers (senior William Buford and sophomore Deshaun Thomas) are quite capable of making them pay. The Buckeyes played a tough out of conference schedule and an even tougher Big-10 schedule. OSU’s 19-point opening round win was not close to being their best. They came out flat and everyone outside of Deshaun Thomas was off their game. That they played badly and still won by 19 is a strong indication of what these Buckeyes are capable of. Play: Ohio State -7½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

Kansas State +4½ over Syracuse

Let’s not ignore the controversial calls that went the Orangemen’s way that had the entire betting world in an uproar. Syracuse survived a serious scare on Day 1 and many believe that those bad calls influenced the outcome. Syracuse is likely not going to get favorable calls today and a well prepared Wildcats team should be in good position to finish them off. K-State's strength this season has been Syracuse's Achilles' heel: rebounding. The Wildcats generate extra possessions on the offensive glass by rebounding 41% of their missed shots. The average team in college basketball grabs offensive rebounds at a 32% rate. The Orange, with and without Fab Melo, are giving up offensive rebounds at an alarming 40% rate because coach Jim Boeheim's 2-3 zone defense extends its forwards out to defend the 3-point line. As a result, the basket is available for Jamar Samuels, Jordan Henriquez and Thomas Gipson to attack and create some scoring opportunities. The Wildcats are playing with confidence and they also play relentlessly on every possession of every game. They were close to having one of the best records in all of Division 1 after seven of their nine regular-season losses came after holding second-half leads. They can not only stay within range here but they could certainly win outright too. Play: Kansas State +4½ +100 (Risking 2 units to win 2).

Iowa State +11 over Kentucky

Kentucky is the favorite to go all the way. They’re also playing in its own backyard and what that has created is an inflated line and one we can take advantage of. ISU’s easy win over UConn was no fluke. This is one of the best #8 seeds this tournament has seen in quite some time. They have size, depth, experience and the ability to play any style the game dictates. Only once this season have the Cyclones lost by more than the points being offered here. They out-rebounded the Huskies by 19 on Thursday and when you combine that with the way they can shoot, defend and knock down treys, it’s evident that this is a team that is very tough to “put away”. The Wildcats are hugely talented but that doesn’t make them invincible. They’re inexperienced and there are always those early round slugfests that a team like this has to endure to get to the finals. This is one of those danger games against perhaps the most undervalued teams in the field. Overlay. Play: Iowa State +11+100 (Risking 2 units to win 2).

2** Kansas st +4.5 over Syracuse (12pm) rot #517 -
As a whole Cuse isn't playing well. None of the stars have picked up for when Melo went out. If Jardine and Joseph play like they did the last 2 games, this one will be either a one possession game or a K-st win. The K-st center Rodriguez played like a beast in the Big 12 tourney and in their 1st round win. There really isn't a Orange player that can match up with him if he demands the ball like he did on Thursday.
