Can't ever win in the NIT. LSU was up 10 in the 1H and had SMU on the ropes calling timeout to hang in it, yet the Tigers couldn't cover 7 points. When momentum switched in the 2H Johnny Jones tried to press and all that did was lead to open shots/easy buckets. Infuriating to watch the Tigers show no interest in defense to finish the half -18 after a solid half put them up 5 at the break. Just not my year...
Will be looking at all remaining games trying to find winners, just haven't fared well in the NIT...

add Kentucky +4.5 (-108) vs. Louisville -Been riding UK since they smacked me and my LSU +4.5 wager around in Catlanta. Looks like I was too high on LSU losing on them again in the NIT when they lost @SMU, but I thank them for getting me back on the horse as the Cats won for me in the finals against Florida and beat Wichita State for me on Sunday. Calipari's boys weren't great and did not live up to the preseason billing, but that happens with freshmen. I think they are much more worried about the team now and are playing really well. They are bigger than UL at every position on the floor and much deeper plus they hold the victory over Louisville in Lexington this season. Pitino is an amazing coach and the Cards did get me in their last game when I took the +10 on SLU, but I think there's plenty of room for a loss and cover. UK will have many more fans in the building, even if UL and UT fans combine to root against them, and though I have the Cards advancing in my bracket I circled UK as a spot I want to bet. Cats may win outright, but I took the 4 1/2 points for insurance as I really don't want to see another loss like the UNC game I had to take Sunday.

Dugie-- I made it 5.5 with Tennessee circled and was shocked to see it so low. Seems like the books were protecting themselves from UT money, but I think they went too far. Won't bet Michigan, but I think it's gonna be really tough for the Vols to keep up on the scoreboard...
I'm going to be in Miami likely missing one of the better Sweet 16's in recent history (based on how close I see each game being), but I figured to prepare myself I could make all the possible numbers for Saturday/Sunday ahead of time. This is probably a mixture of my numbers and what I'd expect from the books: UL -3.5 MICH UL -6.5 TENN UK -1 MICH UK -3 TENN
