Memphis -3.5???

Why? I need Texas to win this game, but -3.5? Seems a little high, thought it would be -1.5/-2... games in Texas, why is this line -3.5?

Appears that Memphis will win by about 8 here

Everyone and their mother will think Texas is the play here

Texas is almost as bad as Memphis at the FT line

Memphis to the Final 4

Memphis to the Final 4

Have to agree Gerk. Never thought I would see the day that all Number 1s actually make the Final 4 but it looks like that is what is going to happen this year

Believe both UNC and UCLA roll today with 10+ point wins, believe Memphis takes care of business with how this line is setting up should of opened around -1/-1.5 and not -3.5 and believe Kansas should beat my favorite team of this tournament Davidson, now just have to figure out if Davidson can at least get the cover

Agree on UCLA, already on that one. Still undecided about North Carolina, though leaning that way. Hard for me as a former resident of Louisville, may just sit that one out

Kind of think the Davidson bubble gets popped hard tomorrow also, but will see what the line does there

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

Who though? Lines not looking favorable for any of the dogs, UCLA line moving up now

Think North Carolina is probably the most vulnerable and would not be suprised if they went down
