Las Vegas - Can anyone beat GonZILLA? Probably not, but at +9 points, USC might be a live dog and worth a taste. Here's why. Gonzaga's starting five are THE BEST in the country, without a doubt. They're smart, can run, shoot, defend and score in bunches. But if there is one Achilles heel, it's the lack depth.

Las Vegas - You know that we have been BEST BETTING and riding Oregon State to the bank the last couple of weeks, but we're getting off the Beavers tonight.

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.
