Anybody want Stephen F. Austin +12 - I'll take any eligible offer ("same side of the bracket" - I guess that means South or East)....I won't be able to root for them v. 'Cuse, but 'cmon, Syracuse is exhausted and ripe for an upset, right???

Remember- it's not about how good your teams are- it's how good they are against the spread. I doubt Portland State has much of a chance against Xavier but if they can keep it close, I get Xavier going forward

Maryland? These guys have screwed me in "Beat the Streak" all season long. I expect they will do the same in this competition. Which means I'm banking on Akron.

I forget, do we get have one site we go to for the lines? Or will it be whatever line Lathum picks each day before the tourney action starts (and I presume he will go to one site himself...CBS Sportsline?).

I get the lines from wagerline. In the past I have posted them, but I will be on a cruise the 21st -28th so I may not be able to do it as reguarly as usual

I recognize the format is luck of the draw, so I don't see it as strategic to make a request. I just know that Maryland has only had bad luck for me so far.

Can we make requests of "anyone but this team"?

My initial lines...

Texas A&M +2.5
Syracuse -12.5

A close game and a not-so-close game.

I'm pretty happy with Utah and FLST. One of those fives will probably lose to a twelve, but at least I'll last past the first day this year.


(both games are on Friday!)

I think I am screwed.

Duke -21.5
West Virginia -8.5

Duke should handle Binghamton, but I'm not sure they'll win by 22.

I guess I am okay with my picks, thinking about it now. Having a #1 or #2 would be nice, but like spleen said - what are the chances Duke covers that spread?

I'm not thrilled with my teams, but I I'm enough of a Missouri homer that I was hoping to get them.

Wanna swap for Temple or Boston College, tarcone?

Yes! Play-in game winner! Yes! Wisconsin!

Could it get any more hideous than that? All I can do now is pray..unless someone wants either of these dogs.

If Morehead wins the playin I'll trade out Utah. MSU is my undergrad alma mater, so I feel compelled to support them.
