NCAA Tournament Record: 7-9 (-1.55 units)
11:00AM CST: Stetson Hatters (+280) vs. Florida State Seminoles (-395); Total 12.5
The Stetson Hatters won’t be sneaking up on the Seminoles in this games after already facing them twice this year. Stetson won by one run in the first meeting and loss by five the second time around. I would have thought about Stetson here but after FSU got embarrassed by Duke, I expect them to be locked in. 3.5 runs is not enough for me to get behind Stetson, but I thought about it.
Play: PASS
11:00AM CST: Wofford Bulldogs (+200) vs. LSU Tigers (-270); Total 11
LSU is one of the hottest teams in the country. I’m not too sure Wofford has the guns to keep up with the Tigers. The Tigers are ready to go on a run and I can’t wait to see them face North Carolina.
Play: LSU -2.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
11:00AM CST: Penn Quakers (+500) vs. Virginia Cavaliers (-810); Total 14
Penn surprised plenty of people last year winning two straight games against Auburn and Samford as a #4 seed. I’m willing to take a shot here as well as teak the runs with the pesky Quakers.
Play: Penn +6.5 (-140) [via DraftKings]
Play: Penn (+500) [via DraftKings]
11:00AM CST: Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (+114) vs. Vanderbilt Commodores (-145); Total 11.5
Vanderbilt got hot in the SEC Tournament. Coastal Carolina, not so much. I am long on the Vandy Boys and it all starts with this game.
Play: Vanderbilt (-145) [via DraftKings]
12:00PM CST: Indiana Hoosiers (+124) vs. Southern Miss. Golden Eagles (-160); Total 12
Southern Miss. is red hot right now. I can’t trust Indiana after dropping two in a row in the Big 10 Tournament.
Play: Southern Miss -1.5 (+105) [via DraftKings]
12:00PM CST: UConn Huskies (+210) vs. Duke Blue Devils (-280); Total 12.5
Duke destroyed all of its competition in the ACC Tournament and I don’t see that stopping any time soon. Not only is Duke’s offense one of the best in the country but they have great pitching too. With Andrew Healy on the mound today, I like Duke to have another big day.
Play: Duke -2.5 (-115) [via DraftKings]
2:00PM CST: West Virginia Mountaineers (+145) vs. Dallas Baptist Patriots (-190); Total 9.5
We’ve seen a few surprising early scores today. I have not been a fan of this West Virginia team. We are not only long on Dallas Baptist but with its offense they can compete with anybody. I’ll lay the runs.
Play: Dallas Baptist -1.5 (-105) [via DraftKings]
2:00PM CST: Southeast Missouri State (+500) vs. Arkansas Razorbacks (-810); Total 12
Arkansas has some of the best pitching in the country but a terrible offense. SEMO has a solid offense but this is obviously a step up in competition for them. I think SEMO can keep this game close if they shake up Mason Molina early. A lot of pressure on the Razorbacks.
Play: SEMO +5.5 (-135) [via DraftKings]
2:00PM CST: Florida Gators (-130) vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers (+100); Total 11
The Gators are very fortunate they made the NCAA Tournament, mostly on name alone. They have not been good especially at the end of the season. Nebraska is a little underrated. Was hoping we got a better price but it is still plus money.
Play: Nebraska (+100) [via DraftKings]
5:00PM CST: Texas Longhorns (-130) vs. Louisiana Rajun-Cajuns (+100); Total 11.5
The Rajun Cajun’s are an underrated team. Texas looked dead in the Big 12 tournament but today, every team that looked dead last week is playing great. Every team that was hot last week has been dead today. The Longhorns might be well rested and can turn things around. With a victory, they will meet with A&M. After Southern Miss got manhandled I think I will take my chances with the Texas pitching and back that offense.
Play: Texas (-130) [via DraftKings]
5:00PM CST: UCF Knights (+124) vs. Alabama Crimson Tide (-160); Total 11
We have been on UCF all season and grabbed them at 400/1 to win the National Championship. They have a great offense and will be playing in Florida.
Play: UCF (+124) [via DraftKings]
6:00PM CST: St. John’s Red Storm (+290) vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs (-410); Total 11.5
The Johnnies have been a good team all season and played a tough out of conference schedule as well. We know Mississippi State is good but it seems like the SEC tournament took a lot out of these SEC schools. Let’s take the runs with St. John’s.
Play: St. John’s +3.5 (-115) [via DraftKings]
7:00PM CST: Kansas State Wildcats (+135) vs. Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (-175); Total 11.5
Let’s continue with our new gameplan for the rest of the day in backing teams that didn’t look great last week. I’m scooping up this dog price with the K-State Wildcats.
Play: Kansas State (+135) [via DraftKings]
8:00PM CST: Tulane Green Wave (+230) vs. Oregon State Beavers (-315); Total 13.5
I’m gonna go with history here, which matches our gameplan. Tulane didn’t have a great season but caught fire in the AAC tournament and won like they did last season. Once they got to regionals, they fire was completely gone. Let’s fade them in a come down spot. Beavers should be rested after not winning the Pac 12 Championship.
Play: Oregon State -3.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
8:00PM CST: Grand Canyon Antelopes (+110) vs. Arizona Wildcats (-220); Total 10.5
The Cardiac Cats! We are long on the ‘Lopes and need them to win the first game. Let’s once again fade a team that was hot last week.
Play: Grand Canyon (+160) [via DraftKings]
8:00PM CST: Fresno State Bulldogs (+250) vs. UC Santa Barbara Gauchos (-345); Total 10.5
Fresno State was hot last week and won the MWC. We also have them to win it all so this first game is huge. After the way today has gone, I would not mind ending the night with a bang!
Play: Fresno State (+250) [via DraftKings]
