guess you missed the stat thatCalhoun is 0-7 in the tournament when playing teams in their home state.

Calhoun Losses
1992 Ohio State (L) (OSU was a #1 seed and UConn a 9 seed, UConn wasn't even an established program yet, they were still an up and coming program)
1994 Florida (L) (I remember Donyell Marshall missing key free throws in the final seconds of the game... I am pretty sure he mised both FTs after being a 80+% FT shooter, which led to the game going into OT and their eventual defeat)
1995 UCLA (L) (UCLA was the best team in the country and went onto win the title, UConn kept it close and had opportunities to steal this game)
1998 UNC (L) (Young team and got beat by a better team, UConn won the title next year with the the same team just more experienced)
2003 Texas (L) (Texas was a 1 seed and UConn was 5 seed yet UConn gave them all they could handle, as a more mature team they won the title the following year)
2006 George Mason (L) (Worst loss I can remember. But it was coming the team was not playing as a team the whole tourney and everyone was playing for their draft stocks. They ahd the most talented team in the country and should have won a 3rd title this year)
2009 Michigan State (L) (Was at this game and there were 70k Michigan St fans. It was a legit home game for them and all the UNC and Nova fans were cheering for MSU also cause they didnt want to face UConn, too bad Sticks had that follow up dunk that awed the whole team and caused no one to get back which led ot Kemba fouling and MSU getting the and 1 that sealed the game)

I got alot of respect for you bro.  I almost never bet the opposite side of you in anything.  As a matter of fact, pretty much all of the cappers I pay attention to on this site are on SDSt.  However, I got to go with my gut here.  Uconn 7-0 ATS and SU over the last 7 against some pretty good ball clubs.  Uconn undefeated in tournament play this year.  Kemba is the best player on the court.  I dont care if they are playing this game in Steve Fischers driveway, I got to play the Huskies.  Will keep my plays small tonight cuz I like Uconn and BYU, but most of the quality cappers are on the other sides.  Bright lights, big stage, I got to go with Jimmer and Kemba.  BOL.

Since 2003, for instance, teams playing an N.C.A.A. tournament game within 50 miles of their campus are a remarkable 24-2. One of the two losses came in last year’s championship game, when Butler — playing just miles from its campus in Indianapolis — came within 2 points of defeating a heavily favored Duke team.

By contrast, teams traveling at least 1,000 miles to play their game are 121-174, having won just 41 percent of the time.

Another way to look at these numbers: the team playing closer to home has won 59 percent of tournament games since 2003. When one team has to travel at least 500 miles more than the other, its advantage has been 67 percent. And when one team has been at least 1,000 miles closer to home than the other, it has been 73-25, winning nearly three-quarters of the time.

Now, teams playing within 50-100 miles have are winning at a 64% clip, but this takes into account all the piss poor teams that we all know have little to no chance to win. I lean SDSU also and the UNDER even more. BOL.

Oh my god,
Pro is 0-4? good thing i never follow his picks or bought anything from him.
However, I think Pro has very good stat and knowledges. He seems to know what he is talking about. but too bad.... NO LUCK AT ALL

I'm very happy to follow a handicap at Pregame and he did me good. 
Plus Sense= the half time genius. Many of us follow his threat and did well in the past few days.

Pro, I hope you the best of luck, and I am still watching you, let's hope your pick is good today, I'll just follow my handicapper and see how you can help other bettors.

Good stuff on the SDST though
