Sweet 16 Pick'ems

[bballnut90]

Which teams are advancing in the Sweet 16 this weekend?

My picks:
Vanderbilt over Notre Dame

UCONN over North Carolina

UCLA over Minnesota

LSU over Duke

Michigan over Louisville

Texas over Kentucky

South Carolina over Oklahoma

TCU over Virginia


I know my picks are boring but I'm not very inspired by many of the underdogs on here. Teams will the best shot of pulling an upset are Notre Dame and Duke IMO. Kentucky is my pick for a 1 seed upset, but I'm not betting against Texas right now.

I'm not optimistic, but I picked a couple upsets. All #1 seeds advance, however.

Vandy
UCONN
UCLA
Duke
Louisville
Texas

Virginia

The one seeds will stomp mud holes... The other games can really go either way.

Referring back to the post by @BRS24 on the main forum...I'm surprised by the single digit Lines for those games.
I'm interested in seeing how the answers to this poll goes.

Looking at this round’s games, it’s easier to see that Texas and SC had the harder path all along. Minnesota and UNC are not credible upset prospects. [We’re doomed.]

By contrast, Kentucky and Oklahoma, while very likely to lose, are at least credible challengers. Oklahoma is better than last season, and they gave UConn quite a run then… at least until Paige got pissed and took the game away from them. For Kentucky, I can at least imagine Strack and Key going off against the slower front court of Texas.

I wanted to pic Duke, but I don't think they have enough offense to keep up with LSU.

I picked Louisville. Macy Brown for Michigan, tore her ACL last weekend.

They were right about the ND-Vandy game being close, but not the victor. I'm not sure why, but a 9 point victory for LSU seems a tad optimistic. Feel it's going to be closer regardless of who wins.

So far, I haven't missed one.

Edit Thought I had picked ND. Oops. I'll take 75%. Better than how I did with my brackets. 🤦‍♀️

Michigan blew that 4.5 spread out of the water.

Vegas does not try to get the spread correct, they move the line to get 50/50 betting for each team. Then the losers pay the winners and Vegas just keeps the vig with no risk - prudent business.

So Vegas had to offer Duke bettors 9 points to get half the bets to be for Duke.

Turned out to be a good bet.🤑
