Who you got right now?

I like Virginia (9/1) best. I also like Kentucky (9/1). I think I'm gonna put $50 on each. If I go longshot, I'll go with Texas tech (35/1). I took us at 100/1 at Mandalay Bay in September as a lottery ticket to return to Vegas.

That Kentucky bet to me is the best one on the board by far. I threw down $50 on UK -7.5 yesterday and felt like I robbed those bastards. Easiest money I've ever won

Duke.

Not feeling it. Besides the obvious question on Zion's health, they just don't shoot 3s well enough. Then shoot 30.6% as a team from 3. I think they'll crap out against a good zone team along the way. Find the last team to win a championship that shoots less than 31% from 3 as a team... bet you'll be looking a while.

I actually wouldn't have picked them before Zion got hurt. O'Connell is getting more minutes and spreading the floor. He's their best 3-point threat and he's blown up with Zion out. Barrett is having to create off the dribble more now too. Without leaning on Zion, they've gotten better and more diverse scoring. Defensively they need his presence in the middle, but they've gotten better on offense as a team with him sitting.

I could see Kentucky beating Duke with their length, but they're streaky to me. UNC is long and can flat out run people out of the gym. Be interesting to see that match up down the stretch before the ncaa tournament.
