7-Unit Play. Take #735 Connecticut (-3.5) over Colorado (1:30 p.m., Thursday, March 17)
UCONN is rolling and it will continue versus a team that is terribly overseeded. The two teams in this tournament that are overseeded by a few spots are Colorado and Oregon State. Lucky for Oregon State they don't play UCONN. If they did they would lose in their first round game as well. Colorado just isn't good enough to win this game or stay within this small number. Connecticut may have a bit of trouble rebounding the ball versus Colorado but Daniel Hamilton will be the best scorer on the court, and that is huge come Tournament time. Look for this game to be close in the first half but for Connecticut to pull away late. The Huskies are 4-0 ATS in their last four non-conference games and 15-3 ATS in their last 18 NCAA Tournament games. Colorado is a pathetic 1-4 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games. Lay the points in this one as UCONN keeps their hot streak going.
3-Unit Play. Take #719 Wichita State (+2) over Arizona (9:20 p.m., Thursday, March 17)
Wichita State, like we said against Vanderbilt, is underseeded, and if they would have stayed healthy would be a top 3-5 seed in this tournament. Now almost fully healthy this team will continue to win games. I wouldn't be surprised to see them reach the Sweet 16 or even Elite 8. Wichita State is 4-1 ATS in both their last five games versus teams with winning percentages over .600 and in their last five non-conference games. The Shockers are also 17-6 ATS in their last 23 games overall. The wrong team is favored in this one.
3-Unit Play. Take #740 Kentucky (-13.5) over Stony Brook (9:40 p.m., Thursday, March 17)
Kentucky may win this game by 30. The Wildcats are not happy that they are a four-seed and they are going to take it out on Stony Brook. The Seawolves are 0-5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall, while Kentucky is 5-0 ATS in their last five. This is just too big a mismatch in all facets of the game. Lay the huge number as Kentucky rolls. Have no fear of the backdoor cover as Kentucky will slam it shut early.
3-Unit Play. #725 Take Fresno State (+9) over Utah (7:25 p.m., Thursday, March 17)
Fresno State is fired up for this game and uncle Mo is on their side. Yes, Utah is a good team, but I don't see them winning this game by double figures. Fresno State has the horses to at least keep this close. I don't see them winning the game, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did. Fresno State won six straight road/neutral site games to end the season, and played Oregon tough (78-73) earlier in the year. Take the Bulldogs plus the points in this one as they cover the line, like they have seven straight times versus teams with winning records.

PLAY: Kentucky/Stony Brook OVER
RATING: TRIPLE DIME PLAY
We have promised More Brief Thoughts during the Tourney Games and that is what we will deliver here with this play. Kentucky is a Team that NOBODY Wants to face in these games. After a less than stellar start these guys are playing basketball. There are no weak link scorers on the floor and the Offense has gone to Peak Mode with Over 88 PPG their last 5 games and in many cases playing defenses better than Stony Brook. There is no way that the Seawolves can stop the Wildcats from getting good shot opportunities in this game. The Big Questions are whether SB can score and whether we will get enough Pace to get this relatively high number? We say YES, YES. We have seen them score a lot lately, we have seen them score a lot during lined games, they managed 72 verses Vandy earlier this year. This team can hit the 3's and actually shoot them slightly better than KY. Pace for both teams very similar and better than average. This Side Line suggests that we will at least NOT have a very close game at the end which can often slow scoring. We will hope (As Always) for some late fouling. However our number has this one going way over what has been posted so most likely we will not need help with that. You can play 3% here up to 147.5. Further Updates if needed.
Quick Note: Often in these Tournaments Later Totals can be influenced by earlier in the day results. So we could see this number Rise or Lower based on that. This number has been pretty steady and one of the few that have been. But we will see it go somewhere.
