Will update the record after tonight's games finish. Wanted to get these out now. Will try to provide at least a little logic.

Wofford Terriers +7.5 (-105), 1 unit: Razorbacks will try and speed them up. Terriers have done well against pressure and should slow it down enough to stay w/in the number.
North Carolina Tar Heels -10 (-110), 1 unit: Hate laying a big number like this but this is not the normal Harvard team. They cannot contain the Tar Heels size and speed.
Texas Longhorns -1.5 (-105), 1 unit: Tough draw for a good Bulldogs team. Pretty sure the Longhorns pound the ball inside all day and as long as they limit the turnovers I think they roll here.
Purdue Boilermakers PK (-110), 1 unit: Not sure how either team scores. In a physical battle I'll take the best player in Hammons. Look for Octeus' poise to be the difference.
UCLA Bruins +4 (-105), 1 unit: Every year there is a team that "shouldn't be in the tournament." Every year they win their first game. Mustangs were impressive but I doubt they look as good in the Pac 12. If Alford keeps the turnovers down the Bruins win.
Virginia Commonwealth Rams +4 (-105), 1 unit: One of those games where the public is backing the name team. I think the Buckeyes can handle the pressure as Russell is a special player but what they can't handle is the inside presence of the Rams. I've seen the Buckeyes play several times this year and I am thoroughly unimpressed.
Iowa State Cyclones -14 (-105), 1 unit: Did I mention I hate laying a big number like this? Again there is just such a huge difference that I can't avoid it. The Blazers lucked into home court for their tournament otherwise they're probably not here. They don't have the defense to stop the Cyclones and don't have the weapons to go toe to toe.
​ML Parlay: Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Baylor Bears, North Carolina Tar Heels, Utah Utes (+121), 1 unit

Clearly the record is 146-157-5. Just a typo...not that anyone should still be reading this crap.
