BIG 12 Game Of The Year! I love Iowa St here tonight on their home floor. This to me is do or die for the Cyclones tonight. They have games @ Kansas and @ Texas next. With coming off a bad loss @ Vandy and a loss here tonight they would nearly be eliminated from the tournament. I actually feel that West Virginia and their pressing style will play right into the hands of Iowa St. The Cyclones have one of the best PG's in the country in Morris who takes care of the ball. This press won't rattle them and I believe that will create a lot of easy shots. I still think West Virginia is being over valued with their win over Kansas, prior to that game they lost to Oklahoma @ home and @ Kansas St who is no where near as talented as Iowa St.

This game is all about revenge here for me. Loyola is 4-1 their last 5 which is playing into this line. During that stretch though they were beating the bottom feeders. Missouri St will be extra hungry here after suffering back to back 1 point losses. Also as I have mentioned the revenge here, Missouri St blew a 11 point half time lead the first time around so you can bet that is in their mind here as well.

I will take Boston College here as they are a live dog in this situation. Wake Forest is coming off a heart breaking loss to Duke in a game they blew big time down the stretch. Sure Boston College only has 2 conference wins, but they have played a very tough schedule in the ACC. Their recent play suggests they are due for a win. Lost by 8 @ home to Carolina as 19 point dogs, by 1 @ Miami, and 6 @ Va Tech. They will also want revenge here on Wake a team they lead @ half @ Wake earlier this season

This Cincinnati team is going way under the radar because of their style of play. However, I really believe this a legit top 10 team. This is a huge game for the Bearcats and they will be out to make a statement. SMU lost true road game @ USC and Boise St both teams aren't as good as Cincy. They were also very lucky to come away with a win @ Memphis as well.

This is a very big game here for Miami and I believe they will respond. They are undefeated @ home on the season and are coming off a very ugly game @ Syracuse which they are due for a big bounce back. They also have 3 straight road games after this so you know there has been extra focus here given that. Notre Dame in their only recent road game were very lucky to win @ Pitt. Everything points here to Miami

I like St Bonaventure here as a short home favorite. They are a very under rated basketball that has a legit shot of making the tournament.

If some how he does play Dayton will probably go to favorites, but I would still like St Bonaventure then.
