2010 NCAA Tournament Picks - Real 1st round (Thursday Edition)

Clemson vs. West Virginia (-2.5) - Clemson did look good in the Play-In game (it'll always be a play in game to me) but I'm choosing to think that it was more of UAB laying an egg. ACC was down this year and Clemson was average most of the year.

Old Dominion (-2.5) vs. Butler - I think this spread is as close as it is because of the Butler name. ODU is beating Pitt next round too.

Morehead State vs. Louisville (-9.5) - I'm as high on Kenny Faried as anyone but everytime I bet on a mid-major against a major conference school I get burned. I'm actually not going to bet this for real since I want to root for Morehead.

Penn State (+3) vs. Temple - I'm not betting this one either. But Penn State was locking people down in the Big 10 Tourney.

Princeton (+13.5) vs. Kentucky - I'll probably take the Princeton 1st half line instead of the game but I have a feeling Princeton will be up at the half.

UNC-Asheville vs. Pittsburgh (-18) - Took Asheville long enough on Tuesday. Pitt will roll,

Richmond (+3) vs. Vanderbilt - Richmond is winning this game outright.

Northern Colorado (+15.5) vs. San Diego State - I'm a little worried about Mountain West teams. San Diego State will win but I think this is the 2 seed that gets the scare in the first 2 days.

UCSB vs. Florida (-13) - You can tell me about Orlando Johnson all you want but one player does not make a team. The thing that worries me is that the line does look a little low. Almost trap like

Wofford (+13) vs. BYU - BYU has been in trouble since the suspension and I really think Wofford has a shot to win this game outright.

Bucknell (+10) vs. UConn - I think UConn will pull it out but remember what happened to Syracuse after their magical run the Big East tourney a few years ago?

Belmont (+5) vs. Wisconsin - Belmont is a solid. Take the moneyline

Michigan State (1.5) vs. UCLA - Because I'm in idiot.

Gonzaga vs. St. John's (-1.5) - Yes DJ Kennedy is out but Sacre is soft and I think the rest of the seniors are going to #DOITFORDJ

Missouri (+1) vs. Cincinnati - Good luck against that pressure with 1 legit point guard Cincy.

Utah State (+2.5) vs. Kansas State - K-State is inconsistant and Utah State can D up. I like Utah State to win this game.


For the record - Kansas, Ohio State, Florida and Texas
Kansas over Ohio State
