Now that we are really in what we would call the "meat and potatoes" portion of the tournament, it's time to start tossing some money around. Unfortunately for you, our erratic picks record has probably left you with little money to gamble with. So grab that solo cup full of coins, Chuck E. Cheese tokens and paper clips, head to Coin Star and check these bitches out:
(LOSS)
(+180) Michigan (-3, teased to +1) vs Tennessee (WINNER!)
Louisville (-4.5 teased to P) vs Kentucky (L)
Michigan St. vs Virginia (UNDER 129, teased to 133) (WINNER!)
First, let me point out that there are two teams from Michigan still in the tournament. Hopefully this points to signs of recovery for a State that has had no financial stability since the Dragon "Smaug" made his home somewhere in Detroit. Now, the Wolverines have some solid tourney experience, a smart coach, the classic white guy that is good in college, a pedigree player in Glen Robinson Jr and cool Unis. Take a look at Tennessee: They are not very good. That's it! We've watched Tennessee a few times this year. Yeah they have a couple pieces and have won a few games, but are they going to have a shot at the title? No way. We're rollin' with the team that named their University mascot after a Marvel character (fact).
Louisville and Kentucky will be a fun game to watch! For the first 5 minutes...If you are trying to convince me that the Harrison's are going to beat the best full court press, man to man defense in the country, then I've got a safe neighborhood in Detroit to take you to. The Harrisons will lose this game by themselves and Coach Calipari will force them to go to the NBA (Europe) so he never has to deal with them again.As far as the Spartan's and Virginia go, I would rather not pick. Tony Bennett is a great coach, Tom Izzo is a great coach. They both play great team ball, they both scheme well defensively and they have both played in big games. All I can say is, this should be low scoring. Probably 65-61.
