GREAT DAY FOR HOOP DREAMS

B. Anthony thinks this is one of of the best basketball days of
the year. It will be difficult to pick all of these games, and the
temptation is to just keep playing games as they come up. I will
pick several below, but I have tried to be selective as there are
many games out there.

Let's get to Saturday's winners.

Vanderbilt +6.5 vs. Florida- Vanderbilt is a great home team
and will not be intimidated by Florida. Florida is very good but
they are probably too cocky to make the effort to win by 8 or more.
Take the points.

Memphis -3.5
vs Gonzaga- Just too many athletes for Memphis
and too many problems for Gonzaga. This game does make me
nervous because of Gonzaga's history as a dog, but this is
a mismatch.

Pitt -12
vs Washington- They will embarrass the Huskies and
Spencer Hawes will have a long day and foul trouble trying
to handle Aaron Gray.

Wright St -7 vs CS Fullerton- Simply a better team winning
big at home with people watching to see if they are
deserving of a 2nd bid in the Horizon. This is a long trip
for Fullerton, and they don't have much to gain.

Butler -3 vs Southern Illinois. Great game showcasing two good
teams.Home court is worth a little more than 3 points. Take Butler
to hit their free-throws and win by 6. If you can find this
game at 2.5, I would feel better.

VCU-5.5 vs Bradley- Just another one of my favorite teams
stepping up in a bracket-buster game. Bradley was great last
year, not quite that good this year.

Oregon +3.5 vs Stanford- Oregon needs this game, and they
are shooting the ball well enough to beat a slowing Stanford
team.


I tried to be selective, but there are many others I like.
If you are looking for other ideas or leans see below:

UCLA +1
Northern Arizona -6
Utah +1.5
Northern Iowa +9.
Santa Clara -10

Good Gaming,

B. Anthony
