Monday, March 7

Colonial tournament
Road team won both VCU-Old Dominion games this year, with Rams scoring 59 points both games; these teams won last two CAA tourneys, beating each other in semis both years. VCU entered tourney losing four of last five games; they've outscored opponents 45-15 on foul line last two days. Old Dominion won last eight games (7-1 vs spread), with nine points closest win. Higher seed (ODU) is 8-0 in last eight CAA finals.

MAAC tournament
Iona beat St Peter's handily twice this season, 70-52 at home (-11.5) Jan 7, then 73-59 (-3) on road 10 days ago. Gaels won their last nine games, covering five of last six. Peacocks are 5-2 vs spread last six games as an underdog. Higher-seeded team (Iona) won last eight MAAC finals, with three of last four decided by 7 or less points. St Peter's played almost a perfect half Sunday, leading #1 seed Fairfield 40-15 on its home court.

Southern Conference tournament
Charleston beat Wofford twice this season, 77-73 on road Jan 8, 79-54 at home Feb 3; Cougars won eight of last ten games- they're 7-3-1 in last 11 games as favorite. Terriers won last seven games, covering five of last six. Charleston hasn't won this tourney in last eight years, losing final in '07/'09. Terriers won this tournament LY. Wofford is 4-5 vs spread as an underdog this year, 1-1 in SoCon games.

WCC tournament
Gonzaga is 5-3 in WCC final last eight years, losing to St Mary's here in LY's game. Road team won both series games this year, with two games decided by total of 6 points. Gaels' guards played 39-40 minutes in last night's win, as Bennett played only six guys 10+ minutes. Zags won last eight games, covering five of last seven lined games. Loser here is going to be squarely on the bubble, so this will be fiercely competitive game.

Sun Belt tournament
North Texas (+2.5) lost 87-76 at Western Kentucky Feb 12, game that started Hilltoppers on current 6-2 run after starting season 10-13. WKU played two guys 40 minutes last night; all five starters played at least 31 minutes, but in their two tourney games so far, they're +15/+8 in second halves. North Texas had a 34-14 edge from foul line in Sunday's upset of top-seeded FAU, Mean Green's fourth straight win.

Ark-Little Rock is playing third straight night, Middle Tennessee had a bye Saturday; Blue Raiders (+1.5) lost 62-58 in Little Rock Feb 19, with Trojans' bench outscoring MTSU's 24-3. UALR entered tourney on 1-4 skid, but allowed only 60 ppg in winning last two nights. Raiders won their last two games, allowing 39-38 points- they crushed FIU last nite, should be well-rested here. Kid on Middle Tennessee is boyfriend of the young woman who was murdered last week; not sure if it matters here.
