Las Vegas - Skating back on to the ice tonight in St. Louis and looking at the Over/Under total which is sitting at 6.5 goals. The Blues know how to score netting 17 goals in the last three games. They also know how to give up goals in bunches, which is why the total has gone OVER in seven of their last nine games. Vancouver has finally perked up under new head coach Rick Tocchet, winning 10 of the last 12, and lighting the red lamp 14 times in the last three games.

Las Vegas - Just came across an incredible stat from back in the day. We know what the GREAT Tony Gwynn did on the baseball diamond, but bet you didn't know about his work on the hardwood. Gwynn played hoops at San Diego State, and IS STILL the ALL TIME leader in assists with 560. Guess GREAT is GREAT no matter if it's on wood or grass.
Not really interested in anything tonight so we're gonna take a breath and close the wallet.

Las Vegas - Gotta stick with my guy Jim Larranaga from the Bronx. His Miami team is not just winning games, they are WINNING GAMES! Started the tournament with a 63-56 win over Drake, covering a -2.5 point spread. Then an 85-69 win over Indiana as a +1.5 point underdog. And then the 89-75 win over Houston as a +7.5 point dog. What makes this a tough call is, Texas has also been rocking. The Longhorns have won seven in a row and covered seven of the last eight.

Las Vegas - Not even a change of hotel in Vegas could stop Connecticut. Not gonna mention the name of the hotel they had to leave, but if the UConn people called me, I woulda told them to STAY AWAY! Before we get to the pick, lemme start with a warning. I was on the wrong side of the Gonzaga/TCU game in one of the WORST bad beats ever. Was also on the wrong side when Gonzaga squeezed out a miracle win against UCLA Thursday night.

Las Vegas - If you don't know much about Miami's Jim Larranaga, here's some stuff on my man from the Bronx. He might not be as well known as Houston's Kelvin Sampson, but he has been on this stage before, a few times. He took a lightly regarded George Mason team to the Final Four back in 2006, and has put the Hurricanes in the Sweet 16 (2016) and Elite Eight last year. Sampson has 731 career wins while Jimmy L. has 723.
