Looking at the brackets quickly seemed like the West was the toughest top to bottom but reading online it appears the experts rank the Midwest as the strongest!

I guess the MW has Louisville, Duke, Mich St and some others but the West has the Zags, Ohio St, Wiscy, K State, N Mexico, Arizona, Pitt, ND, maybe in my mind just see lots of big name schools!
 
quette def. catching a hot davidson squad right now...

vcu -6', butler -3', st. louis -8' ... there are quite a few teams who i think are really safe to advance, vcu/stl being 2 of them... ml parlays will be flying all over the place too
 
Play-in game La Salle - Boise St on Wed!

These 2 teams are like twins in using a 4 guard offense, rely on good 3 pt shooting, and have offensive and defensive numbers which are very close! Boise is 44 while La Salle is 46 RPI wise! Boise has played a slightly harder schedule while La Salle has performed better away from home!

La Salle uses a 7 man rotation while Boise uses 8 men! Reason I think line has gone to Boise as a fav is the key injury for La Salle! Didn't know if he would play but now we know!

La Salle sophomore forward Steve Zack will not play in the Explorers' NCAA play-in game Wednesday due to a sprained ligament in his left foot. Zack missed La Salle's final two games of the regular season and its Atlantic 10 Tournament game. The Explorers play Boise State at 9:10 p.m. Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio.

Zack comes off bench playing 22 minutes a game to be second leading rebounding at 6.4 and adds 6.4 points a game! Leads team in block at 1.3 a game! Big lost cause no other player on La Salle plays more than 8 minutes a game! No size either if only big guy gets in foul trouble!

I've seen La Salle play and I'm thinking little more athletic and experienced than Boise plus they were expecting to be decent this year while Boise probably has surprised themselves but going with Boise St cause of injury!

Boise St -1.5 -110 5d
