Back from Vegas and still feeling the effects, we made it through another week.
I like to think that it takes quite a bit to make me tired but a late night fantasy baseball draft, intramural basketball game and East Regional showdown preceded by a trip to Vegas will do it.
The Vegas trip was amazing. If you haven’t been go. If you have been go back. And if you have been multiple times, go during March Madness. It is incredible for a sports fan.
On the way there I saw the Head Coach of the MIT basketball team in the airport with there star player who is likely going to play overseas next year. It took me a few but yes I actually recognized a division III basketball coach… weird.
I went 4/4 with my tourney game betting:
Maryland over Cal
Purdue over Washington
USC over BC
MSU over USC
Having that income was key.
On Friday night we were in a private room at LAX. I met a girl from Gonzaga who said she dated Adam Morrison. That’s always a good sign when the girl you are talking to is attracted to a guy as fugly as this –>
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
This weekend is real simple.
Friday
Arizona Wildcats vs Louisville Cardinals -9.5
Syracuse Orange vs Oklahoma Sooners -1
Kansas Jayhawks vs Michigan State Spartans -1.5
Gonzaga Bulldogs vs North Carolina Tar Heels -8.5
Saturday
Missouri Tigers at Connecticut Huskies -5.5
Villanova Wildcats at Pittsburgh Panthers -2
Some friendly lines for those inclined to make a wager or two.
This Missouri team is scary. There is always that team that slips under the radar and shouldn’t. They are that team. At least on the east coast, no one believes they can beat a good Big East or even ACC team. They have already beaten Marquette not to mention the destruction of Memphis last night. Could Uconn be next?
