This game is the only one so far where I just can't pick a side. Probably will just wait and take whoever is trailing at halftime. I am leaning UCLA though just because I think the rest of the team can step it up for one game and get a win. Minny was horrible the last month of the season.

Harvard Statistics guy predicts first round upsets. 6 for 6 last 2 years People from Harvard win Nobel Prizes, eradicate deadly diseases and preside over the world's most powerful financial institutions. But we decided to consult them for something that's actually important: predicting upsets in the NCAA tournament bracket. John Ezekowitz, a senior at Harvard and former president of the Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective, has forecast the NCAA tournament for The Wall Street Journal for the past two seasons. He went 3-for-3 in his 2011 upset picks and then repeated the feat last year by calling three more upsets involving double-digit seeds. Now he's back with his latest prediction and somebad news for UCLA and Memphis.
Ezekowitz gives Minnesota, a No. 11 seed, a 69.9% chance of beating UCLA, a No. 6 seed, in the first round Friday. His model also spells doom for Memphis—even though the Tigers don't yet know who they're playing. Memphis gets the winner of Tuesday's play-in game between Middle Tennessee State and St. Mary's. No matter what happens, Ezekowitz sees Memphis losing. Middle Tennessee would have a 60.8% shot of winning and St. Mary's chances would be 52.7%. Ezekowitz's model is based on a statistical regression of first-round NCAA tournament games between teams seeded from No. 3 to No. 14 since 2004. Ezekowitz found several traits common in successful underdogs: turnover and rebounding rates and defensive field-goal percentage. The system also skews conservative, Ezekowitz said. "It's probable there will be more than two upsets this week," he said. "But these are the two that are most likely to happen, according to recent history."
Ezekowitz cautioned that Minnesota might be overrated because the Golden Gophers went through the Big Ten Conference grinder, giving them the nation's No. 2 strength of schedule, per kenpom.com. But there are two reasons to still follow Ezekowitz's advice. The first is that Minnesota leads the country in offensive rebounding percentage. The second is that UCLA recently lost starting guard Jordan Adams for the season, which could boost Minnesota's win probability even higher. "This model has no idea he's hurt," Ezekowitz As for Memphis, despite its gaudy 30-4 record, it's hurt by a lousy strength of schedule that is the weakest of single-digit seeds. Their high turnover rate also makes the Tigers vulnerable—especially to Middle Tennessee, which ranks in the top 20 nationally in defensive turnover rate. St. Mary's would be a slight favorite over Memphis, too, because it's one of the field's best defensive rebounding teams. But what really makes Ezekowitz credible isn't his track record so much as his Harvard prediction. The model gives his Crimson just a 4.8% chance of knocking off New Mexico on Thursday. Trust the Math

Kenpom will also show you that Minnesota's biggest weakness on offense is turnovers - steals in particular. Jordan Adams was the leader of the defense and was the team leader in steals, 40th in the country. UCLA is a very tall team - but they don't rebound for garbage. They seem to be pretty equal offenses, but Minnesota will wipe the boards and should be able to dictate the pace of the game. I hate juice, and I hate favorites with this much attention... but here I go on the Minnesota ML. I think its a good play, their free shooting is sketchy, I think they have a strong lead by the end of the game, I'm going to pay extra to not be saying 'why did I bet it anyway) when I can still see them winning by a small number. I have been on some great blowout wins in this building so far, lets hope the decision to go ML isn't even a thought by the end of the half.

Before today Mayweathers biggest known bet was 1.9. Now all of a sudden he drops 7 mil on ucla? I don't question you passing on info and what you know and whatever contacts you may have. But I question the wager. I find it hard to believ even a knuckle head like Mayweather would be that foolish with his money. Truthfully, the way he spends money, it wouldn't even surprise me if he even had 7 mil to bet to begin with. Yeah I know he makes a grip a money, but realize every number you hear about him making, uncle sam takes half. Dude probably has 15 million in his cars and jewelry alone. What I'm saying is this idiot doen't take care of his money well enough to be betting 7 mil on a game. IMO

You are crazy if you dont think Mayweather has 7 million spare change to throw on a game. The guy is worth 100's of millions. Somehow I doubt he threw that much on this game though

He should have it. But just like people think it's crazy that millionaire athletes can live pay check to paycheck. It's not far fetched to believe someone that is so careless with money might not have it. Not saying he's hurting or can't continue living his lifestyle.Naturally he has in in assests. But does he have it to lose in one day. Someone dropping 7 mil on a game, has probably lost well over that in the past and will soon be on his way to the broke house.I'm sure at one time people thought Mike Tyson had money too. mayweather is RICH not WEALTHY. You can blow rich. Oprah can drop 7 mil on a game. Mayweather loses 7 mil on a game its gonna sting. He basically has to earn 14 mil to recoup that.
