Didn’t you also have Auburn losing by double digits to UK???
How can you say Virginia is overrated? They lost only 3 games (twice to Duke and to FSU in the conference tourney). Their SOS is the same as TT, Virginia is rated higher than TT in the Sagrin Rating, Virginia is #1 on KenPom through Saturdays games. Yes TT is a solid team but I think the Cavs are being undervalued by their close calls in winning games. Eye test and public preception is in TT’s favour right now. It would not surprise me if TT won, but very surprised at how so many are already not giving Virginia any chance tomorrow night. Should be a great game.
Yes I had KY, I haven't won every tourney game, have you? I saw NBA bound Washington back for KY, and NBA bound Okeke out for Auburn, figured the KY bigs would dominate inside, and had seen KY guards on "D" minimize Wofford's 3 pt shooters. Auburn bigs compensated, KY did not execute, IMO poor coaching, too, by Calapari.
Yes, VA is overrated, the whole ACC was this tourney (last year they did well), especially the favorites, especially the three #1 seeds... how did they do ATS (look it up, please, it matters)? VA is solid but luckiest team on the planet to beat Purdue and Auburn, both in the final seconds on crazy plays. By the way, Brown had the flu and had to sit out here and there and that hurt Auburn though he got back in late and hit some big 3's.
Again, teams in the tourney, look for those that keep pounding the spread against those that keep losing or barely squeeking by. And also look for conference ATS... by the way the Big 12 is top notch hoops, for years, this yr KU had injuries, so did K State or they would be in the fray. There are other things to look at, of course, and yes VA -1.5 is now a small spread for VA to cover. But TT (if Owens is OK) should win SU by 7-10.
