The Saturday Schedule & Lines

2:20 -- Duke (-4) vs. West Virginia
4:20 -- Wisconsin (-5) vs. Kansas State (O/U 130.5)
4:40 -- Xavier (-3) vs. Purdue (O/U 132)
6:40 -- Washington State (-2.5) vs. Notre Dame (O/U 133.5)
6:45 -- Stanford (-3) vs. Marquette (O/U 133)
6:50 -- Kansas (-13.5) vs. UNLV (O/U 136)
9:10 -- Pittsburgh (-2.5) vs. Michigan State (O/U 132)
9:15 -- UCLA (-10.5) vs. Texas A&M (O/U 125.5)

So far, I'm taking Stanford -3 and Purdue +3.  I'm sure there will be more as we progress (that UCLA/A&M over is very tempting).

Thread's open.

12:15 -- Tennessee (-20) vs. American (O/U 141.5)
12:25 -- Gonzaga vs. Davidson (-1.5) (O/U 141)
12:30 -- Miami (pick) vs. St. Mary's (O/U 137.5)
12:30 -- Drake (-4) vs. Western Kentucky (O/U 140)

2:45 -- Butler (-4.5) vs. South Alabama (O/U 127)
2:55 -- Georgetown (-17) vs. UMBC (O/U 131.5)
3:00 -- Texas (-16) vs. Austin Peay (O/U 140.5)
3:00 -- Connecticut (-11.5) vs. San Diego (O/U 131)

For the record, I have Drake -4, San Diego +11.5, Gonzaga +1.5, Drake/WKU over 140, and Kige Ramsey eye rolls over 3.5...

I predict Drake will beat inbreeding by 6.  This is Hawkeye State for BHGP Sports.

Thread is open.  So is my beer.  Marchifornication continues.

We've reached halftime on day one.  Seven games are done (with an eighth in progress) with no sign of anything resembling an upset.

It's the Night of the Freshmen.  As you know, we here at BHGP love some good, old-fashioned High School Highlights.  We love things like this:

Or especially this:

Enjoy watching the kids.  Thread is open.

Go Cats!  Beat that spread!
