Tourney Bracket Picks – 2013 March Madness Projections
March Madness is here baby and everyone is filling out there brackets to see if Lady Luck is on their side. It is never easy to pick the 4 region winners of the NCAA Tournament, but I will give you my take on who I think will be heading to the Final 4.
2013 MLB Team Preview: Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers finished 83-79 in 2012 after a 96-66 record in 2011 and even though they lost Prince Fielder to the Tigers their offense was solid and they ranked 3rd in the Majors in runs scored.
UNLV vs Colorado State Betting!
UNLV and Colorado State meet in the Mountain West Conference semifinals with the winner taking on the winner of the San Diego State vs. New Mexico.
San Diego St. vs New Mexico Betting!
New Mexico won the Mountain West Conference crown in the regular season and they now face San Diego State in the semifinals of the conference tournament.
Vandy vs Arkansas Betting!
Arkansas is at 19 wins and at 10-8 there were in the middle of the pack in SEC play. They are on the bubble and if they lose this game they may be headed to the NIT and not the Big Dance. Vanderbilt is under .500 on the season and their only chance to make it to the NCAA tournament would be to win the conference tourney.
A+M vs Mizzou Betting!
Missouri is at 22-9 and 11-7 in SEC play so they look to be a safe bet to make the Big Dance, but the same cannot be said about Texas A&M. The Aggies only have 18 wins and they were 4 games under in conference play and unless they win the SEC tourney they will not get invited to the Big Dance.
Auburn vs Texas A&M Betting!
In the first round of the SEC tournament Auburn faces Texas A&M and the Aggies are really on the Big Dance bubble at 17-14 and 7-11 in SEC play and they need to go far in this tourney and may have to win it to get a NCAA tourney bid.
OSU vs ISU Betting!
Iowa State is at 19-19 and 9-7 in Big 12 play and they have failed to get to the 20-win plateau, as they have lost their last 2 games. They may seal their Big Dance bid if they can beat a ranked Oklahoma State team tonight.
Arkansas vs Mizzou Betting!
Missouri is sitting at 21-8 and 10-6 in the SEC and they are looking in good shape to make the Big Dance, but that may change if they falter down the stretch.

Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Missouri Tigers Preview
Even though they lost to Arkansas earlier this season on the road they have won their last 2 games and 3 of their last 4.
The Razorbacks are at 18-11 and 9-7 in the SEC and they are really on the bubble and need to finish the season strong to make the NCAA Tournament. NCAAB lines have Missouri as big 10-point favorites with a total of 151.5.

On the season Arkansas is 11-10 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 7-12 and Missouri is 12-13 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 14-7.
With their last win Arkansas snapped their 2-game losing streak.
Missouri is a perfect 16-0 at home this season while Arkansas is only 1-8 on the road.
Arkansas only has 1 win on the road this season and that came a few weeks back facing an Auburn team that is 9-20.
Mizzou is a high scoring team ranking 17th in the nation in points per game led by FW Laurence Bowers (14.2 ppg 6.1 rpg), who is coming off a 23-point and 10-rebound performance in the win over LSU. 2nd leading scorer G Jabari Brown (14 ppg) has struggled in 2 of his last 3 games and needs to get back on track. [ad-6571516]
Arkansas will have to play good D facing a deep Mizzou team that has 6 players that are averaging in double figures.
BJ Young (15.2 ppg) leads the Razorbacks in scoring, but he has been struggling and in his last 4 games he has scored in double figures only 1 time and in that span he never shot at least 50% from the floor. Marshawn Powell (14.9 ppg 5.4 rpg) has been playing well in the scoring department, but in the Kentucky win he was only 6/18 from the field.
Mizzou plays a pressure defense that forces many steals and the Razorbacks have to be careful with the rock tonight.
In some betting trends for this SEC match up Arkansas is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 5-0 in their last 5 games.
Missouri is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games, 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 19-7-1 in their last 27 home games.
Jason’s Pick: Mizzou will keep their perfect home record in tact with a win tonight, but Arkansas will not get blown out and they will cover the double digit spread.
Baylor vs Texas Betting!
Baylor is sitting at 17-12 and a few weeks back it looked like they were on course to make the Big Dance. However, they have lost 4 of their last 5 games and at 8-8 they are on the bubble.
Venue/ Stadium: Frank Erwin Special Events Center, Austin, TX

Baylor Bears vs. Texas Longhorns Preview
Texas will not be making the Big Dance unless they win the Big 12 conference tourney, but they are coming off a win and have won 3 of their last 6 games. NCAAV lines have Baylor as slight 1.5-point road favorites with a total of 137.
CLICK GRAB OUR BEST Expert CBB Hoops Picks for 2013 GAMBLING season!
In their last games Texas lost to Oklahoma State 78-65 and Baylor lost to Kansas State 64-61.
On the season Baylor is 11-13 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 12-11 and Texas is 14-12-1 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 13-11.
Texas is 11-4 at home this season while Baylor is only 4-6 on the road.
Earlier this season at Baylor the Bears beat the Longhorns 86-79 in OT.
Baylor has a solid offense ranking 33rd in the nation in scoring and they Longhorns will have to play good D in this game, as their offense is not a high scoring one ranking 236th in the nation in points per game.
Baylor leading scorer Pierre Jackson (19 ppg) has put up decent numbers in the last couple of games, but he has struggled with his shot. He is a speedy 5’10” G that the Bears have to keep out of the lane. One guy the Longhorns really have to worry about is 7’1″ C Isaiah Austin (13.6 ppg 9 rpg), who has the size and Texas cannot let him dominate in the paint. [ad-6571516]
Texas leading scorer Sheldon McClellan (13.3 ppg) is coming off a game where he did not score and he and backcourt mate G Julien Lewis (10.4 ppg) must play well tonight, as Texas does not feature a lot of frontcourt scoring.
Jonathan Holmes (6.7 ppg 6.1 rpg) and Ioannis Papapetrou (8.5 ppg 4.3 rpg) are the top 2 rebounders for the Longhorns and they are 6’7″ and 6’8″ respectively. They have to play good inside D tonight facing the 7’1″ Lewis and 6’9″ Cory Jefferson (11.9 ppg 8.3 rpg).
In some betting trends for this Big 12 match up Baylor is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 12-5 in their last 17 road games.
Texas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Over record of 4-0 in their last 4 home games.
Jason’s Pick: The Bears have covered the spread in their last 4 games at Texas, but that trend will not continue. Texas is solid at home and they will cover tonight facing a reeling Baylor squad.
Duke vs Virginia Handicapping
Venue/ Stadium: John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, VA
Time/Date: 9 PM EST Thursday, February 28, 2013
NCAAB Odds From: BetOnline
Moneyline: OFF
Spread: Virginia -1
Over/Under: 129
No. 3 Duke Blue Devils vs. Virginia Cavaliers Preview
Duke has won 2 straight, 8 of their last 9 games, and if they finish the season strong they can snag a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Virginia snapped their 2 game losing streak in their last game and they look to be in good position for the Big Dance with 19 wins and 9-5 in ACC play, but they can lock up their bid if they can beat Duke tonight. NCAAB lines have Virginia as 1-point home favorites with a total of 129.
In their last games Duke beat Boston College 89-68 and Virginia beat Georgia Tech 82-54.
On the season Duke is 15-12 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 14-12 and Virginia is 16-7-1 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 10-6.
Virginia is 16-1 at home this season and Duke is 4-3 on the road.
The Cavaliers have won 15 straight home games, but only 1 of those wins came against a ranked team and they have not beat Duke in the last 6 seasons. The Blue Devils have won 17 of their last 18 games facing Virginia.
Virginia will have to play good all-around defense, as the Blue Devils can score inside and outside and they are a deep team. They are led by F Mason Plumlee (17.5 ppg 10.7 rpg), who has 16 double doubles this season, and G Seth Curry (16.8 ppg). Also, freshman G has averaged 22 ppg in his last 2 games.
The Cavaliers are one of the lowest scoring teams in the ACC averaging 65 ppg, but in their last 6 games they are averaging 74 ppg on 50.9% shooting.
Virginia is led by G Joe Harris (16.6 ppg), who is averaging 20.9 ppg in his last 9 games, but he has struggled against Duke in the last couple of seasons. One player that must play well is FW Akil Mitchell (12.6 ppg 8.7 rpg), as he must give the Cavaliers some inside scoring and he also has to play good D on Plumlee in the paint.
Mitchell will also need help on the boards, as he is the leading rebounder while the 2nd leading rebounder is Harris and he is a guard. The Cavaliers only rank 283rd in the nation in rebounds per game.
In some betting trends for this ACC match up Duke is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and they have an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
Virginia is 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 home games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 6-1 in their last 7 games.
Jason’s Pick: Duke is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against the Cavaliers in Virginia and not sure why the Cavs are the favorite tonight. Duke will not only cover, but they will win as well.
Georgetown vs UConn Betting!
UCONN is sitting at 19 wins and they are 9-5 in Big East play and with a 20th win tonight against a top 10 Georgetown team they may be a lock for the Big Dance.
Florida vs Tennessee Betting!
Tennessee is sitting at 16-10 and 8-6 in SEC play and they have played themselves back on the Big Dance bubble with 5 straight wins including beating a ranked Kentucky team.
KU vs Iowa State Betting!
Iowa State has won 3 straight games at 19 wins they look to be in the picture for the Big Dance, but they can make it a lock to make it if they can beat 9th ranked Kansas.
Stanford vs Oregon Betting!
Oregon is coming off a loss, which snapped their 3-game losing streak, but they are still tied atop the Pac 12 standings with Arizona.
