WE CONTINUE MARCHING! THE BEST BETS WILL BE HAD.

Analysis will be for matchups I did not pick, which you can read here.

Saint Louis vs Michigan(-12.5)

DK -110

FD -110

Louisville vs Michigan State(-4.5)

DK -110 FD -110

I had Michigan State advancing over USF, that pick is not changing just because it's now Louisville.

Texas Christian vs Duke(-11.5)

DK -110

FD -110

Texas A&M vs Houston(-10.5)

DK -110

FD -110

Texas vs Gonzaga(-5.5)

DK -120

FD -120

I did not have Gonzaga advancing over BYU because I thought that the Cougars' supporting cast would be able to support AJ Dybantsa to a point where he could score 30+ points and the Cougars could win. They even had impressive wins without Richie Saunders, leading me to that thought process.

With the dust settled, Gonzaga took care of business and I think this is the game Texas runs out of steam. Graham Ike can hang with Texas' bigs and that alone should be enough to stymie the Longhorns.

Virginia Commonwealth vs Illinois(-10.5)

DK -120

FD -120

Vanderbilt(-1.5) vs Nebraska

DK -112

FD -112

High Point vs Arkansas(-11.5)

DK -115

FD -115

Had Piggy Sooowie advancing anyways.
