Buffs are winning the NIT. Choke on your own vomit if you don't agree.

Would've liked to have seen if WKU could've at least repeated last years performance in the NIT by making it into the final four there or winning it. But I believe their AD years ago said that if they didn't make the main tournament or the NIT, they weren't going to the others. They had the potential to be much better than their record but they choked away too many leads in the 2nd half of games.

NIT is slightly more prestigious than the NCAAT this year due to the fact that the Greensboro Coliseum will be hosting NIT games

Oregon favored over Wisconsin. Hmm...

picking Wisconsin, they're a legit good team.

Sucker money came in on Oregon. I do believe early bettors don't study the metrics.

Yes pro gamblers just haphazardly throw money out there and hope for the best.

Pro gamblers are waiting for the line to move. Oregon being favored is just ludicrous. There is no, I repeat, no logical basis for them to be favored.

Wiconsin has been in 6 of the last 8 Sweet 16. No other team has as many appearances the last 8 years.

There is, given all the circumstances.

Well the easiest one is Oregon is more talented. Playing in San Jose is another. Happ seems to be getting worn down.

Says who? San Jose maybe 1.5 points not full home court advantage. Happ just played one of his best games against Michigan St.

In a loss?

Is your question in regards to who's more talented? It's pretty easy to research it and come to that conclusion. And yes location is a factor, if this game was in Milwaukee I'd say the same thing for Wisconsin. It's probably worth a point or 2.

Play the game. I will admit the Oregon is playing better but so is Wisconsin. See ya Friday.

I'm not even suggesting Oregon will win, I haven't filled out a bracket yet. Just giving you reasons why the spread is what it is.

I figured the lone on Oregon Wisky would move huge once the talking heads on TV started toutobg Oregon as the best shot for a 12 over a 5. Early money is always the sucker money as the shsrps wait for line movement . I didn't think it would move this much though so I jumped on Wisky big this morning because I didn't want to lose the line

This is probably the most favorable draw Kentucky has gotten since Calipari became coach there. Wofford and Seton Hall both pose issues for them but I don't see Kentucky losing to them again this season, as they've gotten SO much better since then. I don't know what to make of Wofford since I haven't seen them play, but I guarantee it isn't going to be easy beating them either.

Wofford shoots about 40% from 3. If they play that half-assed 3 point defense they did vs UT then it probably will be a humiliating loss.
