So Davidson just lost, and for the first time in history, all number 1 seeds have made it through to the final four.

The lines for next weekend's games aren't up yet @ BoDog (link on the right), but it looks like Memphis is going to open as a 1 point favorite over UCLA. I imagine that UNC will be favored over Kansas, but I expect that to be a close line as well.

It's been a fun tournament. I think that I'm almost done in all my brackets, since I didn't have all #1's in the final four. I would have liked to see Louisville or Xavier and of course Davidson there, but the best teams were able to fight their way through, and it should make for a couple of exciting games to finish the tournament.

So that's about it for now. Good luck.

with my March Madness bracket! Okay, I shouldn't be too excited. I have Memphis winning in my big money brackets, and other teams have been looking really good this tournament. I do have Louisville in my final four, so I was really glad to see them stomp last night.

I would love to see Stanford beat Texas tonight (the line is Texas -2.5 @ BoDog). One of my best friends has Texas going all the way, and while I usually hope for the best for my friends, we are in a tight race in a small person but big money pool. Knocking him out this early would be great.

Looking at the lines, I think the Nova/Kansas game looks interesting tonight. The cinderella team is getting 12.5 against Kansas, a rock solid team . While I don't think Villanova will win tonight, I do think they have a good shot of keeping it closer than 13.

Anyway, I'm going to a wedding tonight, so I'm not sure if I want to place a bet. I might call one in later on the Nova game once I see how the reception is set up.

Good Luck tonight and in case I don't post, for the rest of the tourney.

It's a big day for college basketball with the conference tournaments finishing up. I'm looking forward to the Big East Final tonight @ 9. (Georgetown -5.5) I haven't bet the game yet, but I have to lean toward Hoyas.

Anyway, there are some really good games going on right now with Virgina Tech currently beating UNC. That would be a huge upset.

This really is the best time for college basketball with March Madness starting next week. It looks like I'm 3 brackets so far this year, with only one being big money. Once the bracket comes out next week, I have to see if I want in any others. Besides, I'll probably be betting some games at BoDog.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to tonight. It's a friends bachelor party in NYC. We have all you can drink and eat at a good spot for 3 hours tonight to start it off, and then we'll see where the night takes up. With the bars open until 4 am in the city, it should make for a crazy drunken night.

Good Luck today. Bet big and win big.
