First round tourney lines

[Pitt2006]

Some hmms in there for sure:
Utah State (-1) vs Mizz
Duke (-6) vs Oral Roberts
Miami (-2.5) vs Drake
Virginia (-5.5) vs Furman

No love for ACC.

I'm all over that Mizzou line. I think USU is a fraud.
(They'll probably win by 20 now)

As for the Duke line.... ORU has an 8' monster in the middle. (not really, he's 7'5" ... but still). He could present a matchup problem. But he is also good practice for Duke to potentially face Edey in the Sweet 16.

Miami line is probably based on Omier maybe not playing.

And Virginia... well... they play at a molasses pace - so -5.5 is a fairly big line.

Duke spread is pretty much the 5-12 norm...Miami has some injury issues.. Pitt is listed as the tightest 6-11 thus far (+4)...nothing to do with ACC love or lack there of...
