DAY 1

There is a lot of information to be gathered, but let me just give you B. Anthony's top four games, and then I will break down the rest of my picks by time.

9:20 AM PST Game

Georgia +8 vs Xavier. I need a Dog, and what better dog than a Bulldog that won 3 games in 20 minutes!!!! Keep Cinderella dancing. I think they lose, but they cover, and this line may go up to 9. Public is all against Georgia, which means they are wrong!

1:10 PST Game

Stanford -14.5 vs Cornell. Again, a team I haven't had a lot of success with, but they are dominant right now. Especially against an Ivy squad.

4:10 PST games

Duke -19.5 vs Belmont. I don't like the Dukies, but this has 20 point blowout written all over it. Experience, pressure and the like make for a big advantage.

USC -2.5 vs Kansas St. I have been pumping Beasley all year, but this KState team is not good enough to beat the triangle and two, and USC is built for the tournament. They will make a run, and it will start out with an easy win over the Wildcats

The Rest

9:25-9:30 am Games

Kansas -25 vs Portland St. Kansas is well equipped for a route. A lot of points, but this is a very deep, healthy team.

Temple +7 vs Michigan St. This is a grind it out physical battle. I like this many points. Take the Owls, but MSU advances.

11:45 am Games

Kentucky +4.5 vs Marquette. Gillespie knows how to get the most out of his team. Defense will keep them in it. James and McNeal will hit some big stretch down the stretch, but take the points in this barn burner.

Purdue -3 vs Baylor. Young, talented, cocksure squad will win this one against the Bears. Big 10 is always underrated, I think they will have a few teams advance. Purdue is one of them.

Kent St. -1.5 vs UNLV. Rebels won their tournament because they were at home. Kent State has winning in their blood this year. They advance!

Oral Roberts +10 vs Pitt. Pitt is playing great and does win this game, but double digits is too much. they will grind this one out, but ORU has experience and will hang around for a while. I think Pitt's success in New York will get to their heads and they will start slow in this game. Hopefully, Pitt will be trailing and you can load up on them in the 2nd half, and win two ways in this game!

4:10 PM PST games

Winthrop +9 vs Washington St. Great game, too many points for a low scoring offense. Again the winning team won't cover, but the Cougars dance on. Take the points.

BYU +2 vs Texas A&M. Experience wins out, and A&M is just too inconsistent. Tough game, don't lay a lot here!

6:30Pm PST games

West Virginia -2 vs Arizona. Too much confusion at U of A. New coach and Lute not seeing eye to eye, and Huggins is angry. He will limit Bayless to less than 12 points.

George Mason +7 vs Notre Dame. Irish should pull this off, but it will be close. The post play of George Mason and the experience will keep them in it. Plus ND won't shoot like they do at home!

Wisconsin -12 vs Cal St. Fullerton. Too much defense. Sorry Bobby Burton. An old friend only gets you so far!

UCLA -32.5 vs Mississippi Valley St. One route that will happen, despite the best efforts. 100-55.

good luck

B. Anthony
