SOS Baylor 6
Yale 193
Baylor was tested time and time again the in the rugged Big 12 and even though the game is in Providence it is Spring Break for Yale so I do not expect that to be a big factor.
Andy Iskoe may be onto something that the prostestors showing up for Yale could be a distraction with the Monta~gue player.

722 Baylor -5.0 (-110) Westgate vs 721 Yale Analysis: Great story with Yale making the tourney for the first time since 1962 but it ends here.Baylor lost last year in the first round and blew a big late lead to Ga St. Yale does not have the size and power to handle Baylor down low. Big difference going against the IVY league and now biggest and strongest of the Big 12.SOS Baylor 6

748 Seton Hall 1.5(-110) Westgate vs 747 Gonzaga double-dime bet
Analysis:The Hall played outstanding basketball last week at Madison Square Garden to win the Big East Title and put the Boys from South Orange, NJ back on the CBB map. HC Kevin Willard has the Pirates playing their best ball of the season but the Hall must be focused from the get go to beat Mark Few's Bulldogs. Gonzaga also played their best ball in the WCC Tournament as they closed with wins over 3rd seeded BYU & top seeded St. Mary's who had swept them the two regular season games during the regular season.
Isaiah Whitehead ( 18 ppg ) spearheads the attack for the Pirates, while Khadeen Carrington ( 14 ppg ) is his wingman. Desi Rodriguez is the third three point option for the Hall. In the paint, Angel Delgado who nearly averages a double-double ( 10 ppg / 9 RB ) must stay out of foul trouble and on the court. Delgado, Whitehead & Carrington average better than 30 minutes per game for The Hall.
For the Zags, they have gotten solid guard play from Eric McClellan & Josh Perkins of late and that is why the Bulldogs were able to knock off St. Mary's. The two ma “n tandem of Kyle Wiltjer ( 21 ppg ) & Domantas Sabonis ( 17 ppg/ 12 RB ) is solid. It is so important for the Pirates not to give Wiltjer the wide open three. Sabonis is so feisty on the glass that it is also key that Delgado & Company box out and limit extra shots for Gonzaga. Willard is a solid coach but it's Mark Few with the name recognition for having made 17 straight NCAA Tournaments. All in all, another great match-up on paper....hoping it translates into a Seton Hall win and advance!

ML 720 Arizona (-130) William Hill vs 719 Wichita St double-dime bet
Analysis:Again, I'll lay the juice so I know if the Cats win the game they get the money. Never easy to go against VanVleet & Baker of Wichita State, one of the most fun back courts in College Hoops the past four y “ears. After a tough game against Vandy in the play in game at Dayton, the Shockers left for Providence to try and get set to play Sean Miller's Wildcats.
While this is a young squad for Miller, he does have a strong veteran presence in the paint with Kaleb Tarczewski & Dusan Ristic. Vandy played the Shockers tooth & nail in Dayton as it was a 50-48 game with 7 minutes left. Outscored 20-2 to close the game makes it look like a blow out which it was not for 33 minutes. The difference between the two big men for Vanderbilt ( Fisher-Davis & Kornet ) and Arizona's big duo is that Tarczewski & Ristic stay in the paint. Vandy's big guys wander outside and when they don't hit their 3's like they didn't vs. the Shockers, the Commodores are in trouble.
Gabe York canned 96 triples for the Cats at a 43% clip and needs to be dialed in...he has some of the best range in the country. Allonzo Trier & Kadeem Allen need to be locked in defensively on VanVleet & Baker and when Frankamp is on the floor, his defender cannot leave him and can't allow any open looks between 20-24 feet because like York for AZ, the Kansas transfer has great range as Vandy found out late on Tuesday night. Looking for Tarczewski to have a big game and get Anton Grady in foul trouble as the game moves into the last ten minutes. Should be one of the best games of the day!

HERE ARE MY TWO 2*'s as part of my 4 play package
#733 2* Austin Peay +26 Kansas 4 PM
Kansas Head Coach Bill Self does not care by how much he wins this game by. Kansas was the Big 12’s regular season champ, the Big 12’s conference tournament champ and the only goal left is the NCAA champ. The Jayhawks basically only use 6 players so expect them to look-ahead to Saturday’ game early in the second half. Austin Peay has been shooting the lights out of late reaching 49% in each of their last 7 games and shooting 52% in that span and while we not dare compare the Jayhawks defense to the Oho Valley Conference they will put up some points. Another thing we look for when playing on a huge dog is that the large favorite, in this case Kansas, has their game AFTER the #8/#9 matchup so while they are playing this contest they already know if they will be facing Colorado or Connecticut and you can’t tell me the Jayhawks players will stay focused here if they have a 20 point second half lead.
#735/736 2* UNDER 132 Connecticut /Colorado 1:30 PM
Colorado takes advantage of their home court altitude edge and when running the ball they get many easy shots and shoot over 45% there. On the road is different a different story as the Buffaloes only make 39.3% of their shots and an 11:30 AM local time start certainly isn’t advantaged for an quick offensive burst. Meanwhile U Conn’s defense is not only elite (#11) they also use all of the shot clock with a motion offense which is evident with an adjusted tempt ranking of #298. In Colorado’s last 10 games they have played 5 opponents with defense’s in my to 50 and those 5 foes had an average ranking of #36 and the Buffaloes shot 34.0%, 30.5%, 41.5%, 33.8% and 32.9% and you’ll see more of the same tonight.
