OK, I'm now glad I was not in Las Vegas for the beginning of the tournament. Four of my six wins came in the afternoon session on Thursday, so it was pretty much downhill from there. The upsets that I thought were going to happen, at least according to the Giant Killers Blog on ESPN.com, did not materialize, yet the upsets that did happen (which also occurred Thursday afternoon) were largely overlooked.
Although I faced a huge hole coming into this weekend regardless, the spread losses to Stephen F. Austin (+6 1/2) and Wichita St. (-5 1/2) really hurt because the margins of victory were, respectively, seven and six points. Goddamn hook.

With that I pick myself off the dust of the earth, realize this is all fake, try and take pleasure in believing that someone was in Vegas and bet the opposite of me and thus has a huge payday, and go again, lamenting that, as of press time, the lines (at least on Covers) still do not have odds for four games on Sunday. (Also, there are no Moneyline odds for Sunday, so the Shockers M/L, 8), were taken from Doc's Sports.) Why don't they? What is this, 1997?
1) Ohio St. +9 $100
2) Ohio St. M/L +404 $50

4) Georgia St. M/L +274 $50
5) Utah -4 1/2 $200
6) Butler +4 1/2 $150
7) Wichita St. +2 $100
8) Wichita St. M/L +115 $50
9) West Virginia Pick 'Em $100
10) Parlay 2) with 8), for $150
11) Parlay 1), 3) and 7), for $100
Good luck!
