Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at BYU vs. Virginia Commonwealth out in Denver. The Cougars come roaring into the Big Dance winning nine of the last 10, with the only loss coming against Houston, a #1 seed, in the Big 12 tournament. The VCU Rams come in on a nice roll as well, winning 12 of the last 13, but Ws against the weak teams in the A-10 is not that impressive. That's why they have only ONE team dancing while the Big 12 has got SEVEN invitations. Gimme the 'Y' for the money.

Check out the starting lineups for the Texas Tech/NC-Wilmington game and if you notice that Chance McMillian and Darrion Williams are both out, then grab +15.5 with Wilmington. The Red Raiders were kinda mid in the Big 12 tourney, beating Baylor by just two points, 76-74, then losing to Arizona, 86-80. They have covered only four of the last 11 while the Seahawks have won 15 of the last 17. Understand that the Big 12 is WAY better than the Coastal Athletic Association, but if Tech is missing a few key pieces, then Wilmington might be a solid investment at plus 15.5, or if you buy the hook, sweet sixteen.
