Michigan St. over Nevada
and the over 130 on the Air Force game are probably the easiest shoe-ins for betting.
I would take Syracuse as well, by 2? no problem.

eh…excluding last year, the 'cuse are choke artists. would stay away from them with a ten ft pole. its that 2-3 zone, if you can shoot over it, they are done.

i don't know. . .that princeton-style offense is tough to score alot of points against. i mean, look at the over/under for the princeton/texas game, 119. . i think that's a better representation of the point total for the carolina/air force game.

Syracuse with only a two-point spread is a frickin steal. I'd lay my tuition money on the Orangemen, if I wasn't on scholarship.

Offense:
UNC = 71.2 ppg
Air Force = 57.3 ppg

Total = 128.5

Defense:
UNC = 75.2 ppg
Air Force = 50.1 ppg

Total = 125.3


Take the under

So you want the over?

I'll take the under.

How much you wanna go? $20?

the way i see it , Air Force doesnt score a lot of points, but WILL against a suspect UNC defense.

The Air Force defense let up many points, because they dont play UNC everyday.

I'll figure about 74-60 UNC, and enough to cover 130

So my 10:00 AM meeting that should have ended by 11:00 ran until 12:30. Sorry I didn't get in your pool.

I only made it into one pool this year – I took Pitt beating Stanford. (Stranger things have happened.)

One 12 beats a 5 every year……smackie had that one. Sorry I didn't get in the pool, I'm in like 5 others.

I remember going to West Point when I was 12 or something and seeing the Dan Marino-led Pitt team trounce Army in football.

That was probably the last time I paid any attention to any kind of college sports.

yeah, i got this one too.

i went with the work poll, lots of trash talking in the office. i have manhattan in that game…partially because i was in the big apple last weekend.

caved and went with pitt over stanford too (weird). figure that pitt has a chip on its shoulder after getting the worst draw in the tourney. plus, i can actually root for them.

I took two 12-5 upsets – Manhattan and BYU.

I really, really wanted to take Princeton over Texas, but couldn't bring myself to do it.
