We could really use Matthew Rivers today. He's been on fire.
If anyone has him, please post.
If not, I will be happy to purchase.
Good Luck to all.
As of now, I'm thinking of a 4 game parlay with Cleveland, Phoenix, UNC, and Michigan State money line.
Thoughts, suggestions, comments, recommendations?

Michigan State vs. Louisville
Play: Louisville -6.5
Today's game faces two power house coaches: Izzo and Pitino. This game might be a track meet as both teams have shown a propensity to run and gun. Will be interesting to see if Michigan State can run with a very deep Louisville team. Louisville comes at you in waves and usually wears teams out in the 2nd half. With a four guard rotation the Cards just keep coming at you until you give it up late. The Spartans have turned back several good teams lately and will try to upset one more team to make the final four. Lets look at records and trends:
Team records:
Michigan State: 29-6 SU, 19-13 ATS
Louisville: 31-5 SU, 22-14 ATS
Recent Trends:
-Spartans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
-Spartans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. Big East.
-Cardinals are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite.
-Cardinals are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite.
Michigan State has had a very nice season and has overachieved in my opinion. Tom Izzo is a great coach but even his skills will not keep this game close. Louisville is too deep and the press will kill Michigan State late in this game. As all have seen the Big East is the best conference without a doubt all year. Louisville showed on Thursday what they can do when they are hitting outside shots. Terrance Williams and Earl Clark might be the best two all around players left in the Tournament and will have a great game today. Cards will keep up the hot shooting and show how over rated the Big Ten was all year. Most likely will be high scoring affair but the Cards have no problem ATS. SCORE: LOU 90 - MSU 75

Michigan State @ Louisville Under138.0
The Louisville Cardinals exploded for 103 points in their rout of the Arizona Wildcats in the Sweet 16, but we feel that just gives us added value on the Under here in their Elite Eight matchup with the Michigan State Spartans.
After all, while Louisville is obviously capable offensively, the main reason they have gotten to this point is their defense, The Cardinals have allowed just 61.8 points per game on a miniscule 39.4 percent shooting from the floor over the entire year, and according to the Pomeroy Ratings, they are second in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency, allowing only .833 points per possession.
Also keep in mind that their offensive explosion Friday came vs. a middle-of-the-pack Pac-10 team that is not known for defense, and they will not have as much success running today vs. a defensive-minded Spartans team that is almost as stingy as Louisville.
Michigan State is allowing 63.0 points per game on 41.5 percent shooting, and they held a very good Kansas offense to 62 points Friday. The Spartans are ranked number 10 in adjusted defensive efficiency by Pomeroy, allowing .887 PPP, and they also play great perimeter defense, allowing only a 31.5 percent success rate on three-point attempts.
These are two defensive-minded teams, so we look for the pace of this game to more closely resemble the Michigan State/Kansas matchup on Friday than the game where Louisville ran an outclassed Arizona team off the floor.
Pick: Michigan State / Louisville Under 138

Play On: Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta returns home off Friday's 99-93 home loss to the Celtics with same season revenge on their minds when they host the Lakers Sunday afternoon. With Los Angeles looking dead ahead to a same season revenger up next against Charlotte on Tuesday night, look for the Laker to dip to 0-4 SU and ATS in this series when playing off back-to-back wins against a same season revenging Hawks' squad. Grab the points with Atlanta.

Michigan State vs. Louisville
Play: Under 138
Teams play tough defense and will be playing with one day rest. Look for a lot of sloppy play in this contest. Under 138 5 STAR PLAY
Oklahoma vs. North Carolina
Play: Under 163.5
I will take the Under for the same reason as MSU game. Short rest more important possesions. Sooners will slow and dictate the pace. Why ...casue they shoot a high percentage and will not let UNC go a running. Look for a even flow game. Game should be in the Mid to upper 70's. 3 STAR
