"Screw Experience" was the exact quote I used yesterday to conclude my flip-flopping. My gut said go with UMass, but the numbers told me Syracuse. Should have stuck with the gut. Add in Arizona State's meltdown at home against the Gators, and I'm back to 4-under .500 at 25-29-2.
Honestly, I wasn't as confident with these NCAA Basketball picks as I was with my Ohiotucky picks on Monday. Just hoping to go on a roll, and I'm running out of time on my quest to break even. So I'm going with the following prognostications, the latter I like more than the former.
Mississippi at Virginia Tech (-8.0)
Andy Kennedy has built a solid squad in the Deep South, and The Rebels are a deeper, more physical team. But they are terrible on the road. Ole Miss went 1-7 as the visiting team in SEC play. V Tech only lost two home games all year, both in conference play. Advantage, Hokies. They win by 10.
Bradley at Virginia (-6.5)
This one we're giving lock status; take the money-line, I don't need the points. The Bradley Braves are going to win this outright. UVA is not a good team. They went 5-11 in conference, and though they somehow beat Arizona early on in the regular season, their second best win was a lucky two-point victory at Georgia Tech. Bradley beat Drake twice, and just beat up two Ohiotucky schools, UC and Ohio, to make it to the CBI semis. In comparison, The Cavs barely got by Richmond and Old Dominion. Bet the farm on the Braves, kids!
Hope you'll stop by tomorrow, we'll check the lines of the Big Dance.
