I’m not a big poster but tossing this out. Let’s get some ??!!!
A few things I look at, among many, when handicapping tournament games is ATS record for these teams during the year, but most importantly, the nonconference games played earlier. Now that we know the strength of these teams, looking back at the beginning of the year, you can get a good feel for how good some of these smaller schools really are…
Utah State 21-12 ATS
Missouri 16-16
some of Utah States earlier wins were against pretty solid teams in Bradley, Oral Roberts, Santa Clara, and Utah Valley. While these teams aren’t world beaters, several are their conference winner and the combined margin of victory was around 70 points ( 4 games).
Utah state coach lead his 16th seeded team to a huge upset over #1 Virginia 5 years ago in one of the biggest shockers ever.
Missouri looks a bit too easy -1 1/2. Starting this hopefully successful thread with Utah State +1.5
