Las Vegas - Still a day away from the Sweet Sixteen, but gotta jump on Oral Roberts +11.5 points before the line changes. We might be missing something, but ELEVEN & A HOOK? Are you KIDDING ME? These teams played back in December, AT Arkansas, and the Razorbacks posted an 87-76 win, but the Golden Eagles had NO trouble covering the 19.5 point spread. Again, the game was AT Arkansas. Now, the game is on a neutral court, the spread is 11.5, and Oral is playing its best ball of the season.

Las Vegas - Another ride on the Zamboni tonight, gonna play the total, and go OVER 5.5 in the Colorado/Vegas game. Skatin' & scorin' is exactly what these two West Division clubs are doing.

And if you have not ever stepped into a Popeye comic, PLZ take a few minutes and meet Popeye, Olive, Brutus, Swee'Pea and my favorite, Wimpy. Back to thin.

Las Vegas - Thought that Gonzaga might take its foot off the proverbial gas pedal against Norfolk State after going up by 30. But nah, the Zags kept on firing and wound up winning by FORTY THREE! Looks like the Bulldogs wanna be the first team since the Indiana Hoosiers to complete a perfect season and win the national crown. Not only do the Zags have GOBS of offense, they can D up as well. They harassed Norfolk all game and the kids from Virginia wound up shooting an UGLY 19 of 62.
