Las Vegas - Here's the question. Will Mississippi State fold its tent after stunning Kentucky yesterday, or, is Uncle Mo ready to spring another upset? Think we're gonna roll with Uncle Mo and grab State +9 points over Alabama. The Bulldogs were kinda awful from downtown against Kentucky, hitting on only five of 17, but they OWNED the glass. With the SEC's leading rebounder, Tolu Smith grabbing nine, they posted a 46-30 edge over the Wildcats. The Crimson Tide beat Miss State twice, 81-73 in Tuscaloosa, failing to cover a 9.5 point spread, and 64-59 in Starkville, coming up short of cashing at -6 points.

Also looking at Michigan over Maryland. The Wolverines had no trouble with the Terps during the regular season. They won the first meeting at College Park 84-73, covering a -2.5 point spread. Then it was an 87-63 blowout at Ann Arbor as a -10.5 point favorite. Maryland had a sweet win yesterday against Michigan State, but everyone knows that Sparty was not a top shelf Big Ten club this season. Gonna roll out another winning two team 6-point teaser, and bump Mississippi State up from +8.5 to +14.5 points against 'Bama, then drop the Wolverines from -8 to -2 points over the Turtles.

And if you find Oklahoma State and Cade Cunningham as a double digit dog against Baylor, +10 or better, we're barking all the way to the bank.
