What is your top play for the first round of the NCAA Tournament? I'll lead off but keep in mind, I've been on the chilly side lately with my posted picks. This one should get the attention of all of our supporters of the teams from Iowa.

Georgetown -3.5 (-110)(CRIS)

NORTHERN IOWA really struggled down the stretch.

On the otherhand, GT is no world beater in my opinion(losing to South Florida in season finale and having a so-so conference tourney.

This game has PASS written all over it for yours trully.

Bradley as +8 underdog over Kansas looks intriging to this observer.

Also looking at NWS plus the points over IOWA.

Only two games sticking out to me at this point in time.

Murray St +12.5, 19-1 over the last 20 games. Hopefully they can keep it within 12 points.

Kansas is the play, imo. Maybe a larger play.

I love Gonzaga at -5 with free .5 pt at Skybook. Xavier is a team that was only the 10th best team in their conference who is travelling to play out west. They won conference tourney without playing any of the perennial powers and with home court advantage. This team had lost something like 10 of 12 going into conference tourney. They will be without their best player and sr Finn so don't think they can score enough against the Zags pourous defense. Zags also are plenty rested and stay in West time zone. This line imo should be closer to 12 as Zags have too much offense and power for outmanned Xavier. They will win by double digits!

Love Gonzaga ML as they tend to win their games of late by last 2nd buckets...its that or nothing for me in that one.
