Point Spread: 4.5/-110
Took it right on the chin last night as Duke doesn't come out the 2nd half and my 10* on Wisconsin goes down in flames as at one point the Badgers miss 17 of 18 shots en rout to hitting 30% if their shots. I am going to rise like a Phoenix tonight out of the ashes and put a beating on your sportsbook like his is my red-headed step-child.

Play Title 10* Kansas
Play Selected Point Spread: -10.5/-110
Taking the Jayhawks here. Kansas is good people. I would feel comfortable putting this out if it was 15.5 we were laying. Kansas with 2 losses on the year. They ran into a Texas buzz-saw, then lost on ESPN while visiting hated inter-state rival Kansas State. I don't see Kansas blowing a 12 point half-time lead and shooting 36% and allow Richmond to score 51 points in the second half like in their loss to Texas. Richmond had a great year. They have senior leadership. But they do not have the size or horses to run here with the big dogs. Morris twins inside will control the boards and the Kansas guards will get plenty of open looks from 3. Rock Chalk Jayhawk.. KU by 20.... 10* KANSAS JAYHAWKS
Play Title 4* VCU
Play Selected Point Spread: 4.0/-110
Taking VCU here. We have played on this team several times during the year. Like their press defense and they have a ton of heart. VCU has flat out dominated teams in going a perfect 3-0 this tourney. Not taking away anything from FSU. I had ND as a monster 10* vs them last weekend, but this VCU team is vastly different from Texas A&M and ND. Both those teams plod around and live out near the 3pt arc. VCU wants to mount up and push it. FSU is a top flight defensive unit no doubt. But this VCU team is playing with a huge chip on its shoulder. 4* VCU RAMS

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has an NCAA Tournament winner Friday is on Richmond (+10.5) versus Kansas.
Reasoning: Kansas is awesome and I’d be hard pressed to see them walking off of the court today as the loser but Richmond has been playing great ball for awhile now and with two future NBA players leading the way I’ll grab double digits and take my chances.
Bill Self’s Jayhawks are locked and loaded and the Morris brothers are a handful in the middle that cannot be fully contained. Those guys will get theirs for sure and Tyshawn Taylor, Brady Morningstar and the smaller players are more than competent themselves and should be able to wreak some havoc themselves. But this is a Sweet 16 game on a neutral setting and to be honest with you a good part of the crowd in Texas may even root against the rival Jayhawks and for Chris Mooney’s Cinderella Spiders.
Justin Harper and Kevin Anderson will both be in the Association in the near future and will hold their own today. Richmond is 27-7 this season and just raced through the A-12 tournament to a championship before taking care of business against Vanderbilt and Morehead State in the first few rounds of the Big Dance. Certainly the Commodores and Eagles are not the Jayhawks and I would not come close to acting as if they are but Mooney’s squad is not going to be intimidated and should provide enough competition to stay within this too large of a number.
Top expert pick on this game: Richmond from Matt Rivers.
For more information: Mr. March has an NCAA Tournament side and total, plus the top NBA side. It’s the single biggest Big Dance sides, total, and NBA side going tonight.

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Writer Shea Matthews looks at Friday’s Sweet 16. Our last installment of Sweet 16 games for March Madness betting Includes a David-versus-Goliath matchup and a battle of two teams we never expected to see this deep in the NCAA Tournament.
(4) Kentucky Wildcats vs (1) Ohio State Buckeyes
Friday, March 25, 9:45 p.m. ET
Sportsbook favorite: Ohio State -5.5
Kentucky versus Ohio State isn’t a David-versus-Goliath in terms of seeding, as Kentucky is clearly no slouch as a No. 4 seed. It’s more about the interesting youth-versus-experience dynamic.
Kentucky was supposed to regress after John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe left for the NBA. But its phenomenal freshman crop looks to be way ahead of schedule.
In Kentucky’s opening matchup, the young-gun trio of Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb was a bit lost, combining for just 19 points as the Wildcats edged Princeton. But Knight’s only two points came on the game-winning field goal and it was a sign of things to come.
Against West Virginia, Knight exploded for 30 points as the freshman trio jumped from 19 to 48 points. So the top-ranked team in the nation. Ohio State, obviously can’t sleep on these guys. If the Buckeyes early-tournament performance is any indication, though, that won’t be a problem. Ohio State crushed its first two opponents by an average of 30.5 points.
Can Kentucky stop Ohio State’s ridiculous three-point attack? It shot 50 per cent against Texas-San Antonio from beyond the arc and 61.5 per cent against George Mason. Of the teams’ 16 threes in that game, David Lighty nailed seven (on seven attempts). These guys look like a video game.
(11) VCU Rams vs (10) Florida State Seminoles
Friday, March 25, 9:57 p.m. ET
Sportsbook favorite: Florida State -3.5
A 10 versus 11 in the Sweet 16? Who knew? The craziest thing about this matchup is that neither VCU nor Florida State is playing like a Cinderella. They’re not draining breathtaking buzzer beaters to slay giants; they’re cruising.
VCU over Georgetown was a pretty popular sports betting upset pick; fair enough. But the Rams really turned heads when they dropped 94 points on a good Purdue team and won by 18. It looks like we have to take them seriously.
Same goes for FSU. The Seminoles made it look somewhat easy in dispatching another hot betting pick, Notre Dame. The most interesting story out of Florida State hasn’t simply been Chris Singleton’s return, but that the team hasn’t really needed him. He’s shown plenty of rust, playing 26 minutes and tallying only five points in the Seminoles’ two wins. If Singleton can find his legs, FSU could become very dangerous.
It’s the attack of the low seeds! Of the record four double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16, all four will play this Friday night. Let’s look at the first two March Madness betting matchups for that day.
(11) Marquette Golden Eagles vs (2) North Carolina Tar Heels
Friday, March 25, 7:15 p.m. ET
Sportsbook favorite: North Carolina -4.5
Of the low seeds to reach the Sweet 16, Marquette is perhaps the most under-the-radar. Maybe that’s because the Golden Eagles were dwarfed by all their high-profile Big East rivals entering the NCAA tournament. Low and behold, Marquette is one of just two Big East squads still alive. It hasn’t exactly been dominant, but it forced 31 turnovers against Xavier and Syracuse over its first two tourney games.
Marquette shouldn’t expect North Carolina to beat itself the same way. The Tar Heels are flying high so far in March Madness. Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes have dropped boatloads of points on the competition and Kendal Marshall has been the real catalyst. The guard has 24 assists in two games so far in the tourney and he’s done a phenomenal job taking care of the basketball.
North Carolina got a major scare against Washington in the round of 32. Does that mean the Tar Heels are on shaky ground against Marquette? Or will they be sharper with the nailbiter out of the way?
(12) Richmond Spiders vs (1) Kansas Jayhawks
Friday, March 25, 7:27 p.m. ET
Sportsbook favorite: Kansas -10.5
Of the No. 1 seeds in the tournament, Kansas has arguably gone about its business the quietest so far. Pittsburgh is out, Duke got a scare, Ohio State has been flashy – but Kansas just cruised to two relatively easy victories in its first two games.
Not surprisingly, Marcus and Markieff Morris have been the focal points of the Jayhawks’ offense so far. Both guys have led the team in shots taken and points over the first two games and sports betting sharps should expect more of the same against Richmond.
Kansas can’t sleep on the Spiders, however. Richmond continues to impress, having won nine straight games and beaten nine straight spreads. It slipped past Vanderbilt in a close one and didn’t break a sweat against Morehead State in the round of 32.
If Richmond wants to make Kansas nervous, however, it needs to get its long-range shooting back on track. The Spiders are the country’s 10th-ranked three-point shooting team and it showed against Vandy when they went 12 of 24 from beyond the arc. Against Morehead State, however, Richmond was just 4 of 16 on three-point attempts.
Reasoning: Kansas is awesome and I’d be hard pressed to see them walking off of the court today as the loser but Richmond has been playing great ball for awhile now and with two future NBA players leading the way I’ll grab double digits and take my chances.
