#718 4* Notre Dame Fighting Irish -6.5 (12:15 edt) CBS
I see this line has dropped and that suits me just fine. I know Princeton plays good defense but look who they have played against. They went undefeated all season in Ivy League play but they only are 7-6 SU outside of conference play. Notre Dame is very battle tested playing in the difficult ACC so they will be ready for whatever the Tigers can throw at them. Princeton does not have enough offense to come back if they get too far behind and since this is the tournament they will be fouling a ton late if they are behind. Look the Golden Domers to pull away late to get this cover. Thank you and good luck.

Tonight's Winner and Rating: (100) Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders
Point Spread: -1, as of 1 a.m. eastern.
Analysis: There are several reasons I can give you for taking Middle Tennessee State, most of which I'm sure you've already read. Last year's big win over Michigan State, this year's run through the regular season, the 5 v. 12 seeds theory... they're the reasons that are becoming cliche.
But the fact is, Middle Tennessee has won 20 of its last 21 games and brings a 10-game winning streak to Milwaukee. On the other hand, we have a Minnesota team that made impressive runs, but that also stumbles into the dance.
Senior Akeem Springs - the team’s starting shooting guard and on-court leader - will miss the rest of the season because of an Achilles injury he suffered last Friday. And while there is some remaining talent, the lineup is jangled without Springs, who hit more 3-pointers (67) than any of his teammates, while averaging 9.5 points per game.
The points are irrelevant compared to the mentorship he provided on the floor for his team. And without his presence, the Blue Raiders are going to attack to point of suffocation. They will be relentless in Minnesota's face.
Middle Tennessee State has six players back from the team that shocked No. 2 Michigan State a year ago. Leading the charge is junior guard Giddy Potts, who averaged 15.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists this season.
Minnesota can be defensive, but the Blue Raiders will have the Gophers rattled beyond recovery.
Take Middle Tennessee State, which will improve upon its 5-0 mark on neutral courts.
