Texas A&M is yet another of the teams that fit my perfect ‘go against’ profile. There’s nothing better in this type of tournament than finding the overrated teams from ‘power conferences’ and circling them to go against. Now, there’s nothing …

Middle Tennessee State has pulled the biggest upset of the tournament to date, eliminating a Michigan State team that they realistically had no business staying inside double digits against. The Blue Raiders return four starters from a year ago and …

Nothing better than good sized underdogs that I would still bet as a short priced favorite. Shaka Smart has moved on to coach the University of Texas but Virginia Commonwealth is still up to their old tricks. That’s playing nasty, …

This is a lopsided ‘in state rivalry’ game. Virginia is looking *way* ahead to Michigan State and more urgently to potential next opponent Texas Tech or Butler. And while it’s very unlikely that Hampton can give them even a straight …
