ATS: Oregon Ducks -8.5 (-110)
LOSS for -3 unit(s)

Oregon State Beavers at Oregon Ducks

Oregon has played very well over the last few weeks and isn’t getting enough credit from oddsmakers.  I feel that the Ducks are still being priced according to some of the struggles they had in the last two years.  The betting public as well has not caught up to the recent improvement of this team.  Despite the problems with Oregon in the last few years, they have still dominated this series, covering in three straight games against the Beavers.  Oregon has outright wins at Washington and Washington State, while Oregon State lost at both of those teams this season.  The Ducks offense is also very high scoring, which will make it easier for them to cover this point spread.  They will also be motivated to blowout their in-state rival.

Butler Bulldogs @ Duke Blue Devils Monday April 5, 2010 9:21 pm
Butler has had an impressive run in the tournament, and they are a very good team.  However, they beat a worn out Kansas State team, a banged up Syracuse and Michigan State teams.  In fact, Michigan State was just flat out outcoached by Butler’s Brad Stevens.  ... read more

West Virginia Mountaineers @ Duke Blue Devils Saturday April 3, 2010 9:12 pm
First and foremost, Duke is not used to playing a physical and tough team like West Virginia.  The ACC is not a physical conference, and Duke hasn’t played any physical teams in the tournament, so I expect them to have a hard time adjusting to West Virginia’s style ... read more

Michigan State Spartans @ Butler Bulldogs Saturday April 3, 2010 6:07 pm
Butler has used a very tough and grinding defensive style of play to get to the Final Four.  That grinding style was able to frustrate Syracuse and Kansas State, two of the most talented teams in the country.  Meanwhile, Michigan State has played both a slower and faster ... read more

North Carolina Tar Heels @ Dayton Flyers Thursday April 1, 2010 7:00 pm
Sharp money also agrees with this side, as the line has moved from -1.5 to -3, a fairly significant line move for a post season game, especially since it’s going against a very public and popular team in North Carolina.  North Carolina won a very sloppy game the other ... read more

Baylor Bears @ Duke Blue Devils Sunday March 28, 2010 5:05 pm
Duke finally has to face a team that can challenge them.  They have had a rather easy path to the Elite 8 by beating a Purdue team without Kyle Hummel, California, and Arkansas Pine-Bluff.  However, Baylor has size all over the court and some of the best guards in the country.  ... read more

Tennessee Volunteers @ Michigan State Spartans Sunday March 28, 2010 2:20 pm
Michigan State showed great resiliency once again on Friday, beating Northern Iowa in a hard fought game.  However, the Spartans were able to capitalize on the Panthers scoring drought in the 2nd half.  The loss of star point guard Kalin Lucas will be the downfall in this ... read more

West Virginia Mountaineers @ Kentucky Wildcats Saturday March 27, 2010 7:05 pm
Kentucky has proven that they are the best team in the tournament, and they are playing better and better with each game.  West Virginia has played very well this season and of late, but they looked very sluggish in their win over Washington.  The Mountaineers weakness ... read more

Northern Iowa Panthers @ Michigan State Spartans Friday March 26, 2010 9:35 pm
Starting guard Kalin Lucas will not play for the rest of the tournament due to a ruptured achillies.  Much has been made about that injury, but the Spartans are a very resilient and talented team.  Several players remain from last year’s Final Four team as well.  ... read more

Saint Marys CA Gaels @ Baylor Bears Friday March 26, 2010 7:25 pm
Baylor has a substantial advantage of playing this game so close to home in Houston.  They will have a substantial edge in fan support as a result.  St. Mary’s has used their star big man, Omar Samhan, to get to the Sweet 16, as he has able to dominate over smaller ... read more

Tennessee Volunteers @ Ohio State Buckeyes Friday March 26, 2010 7:05 pm
These two teams are evenly matched, which makes the underdog very appealing.  Bruce Pearl is a great tournament coach and always has team ready to play in the postseason.  Tennessee dominated Ohio in the 2nd round and outplayed San Diego State in the 1st round.  Ohio ... read more
