Si Woo can absolutely win at this event. When the putter is cooperating even marginally, the dude can stare down some of the best in the world. He’s done it on some of the biggest stages, like when he took down The Players. He can also slide into abysmal mediocrity when the flat stick proves uncooperative.
This week, the Bundesliga’s first Sunday duo of April features a quartet of teams for whom European qualification isn’t on the agenda. But that won’t necessarily translate into a brace of dull affairs, and first up is a battle of two Rhineland rivals desperate for a win after seeing their respective runs of form tank in the early spring.
This is the final four of the NIT in Las Vegas. Wisconsin is the only team from a power 5 league and getting them as an underdog is too good to pass up. Big 10 vs. American Conference. Wisconsin plays Michigan and Indiana. North Texas plays the lines of ODU.
Nate is back with an instant preview of the Final Four matchups on Saturday with his initial leans on both games from a betting perspective.
That SDSU halfcourt, grind-it-out-to-a-halt and watch the paint dry basketball, is something to behold. While I was not known as a defensive minded basketball coach, and I spent only one fourth of my average practice time on it, this Aztec defensive is something to behold.
It’s been a while since Texas failed to at least return a bet to its backers. The Longhorns have gone 5-0-1 ATS in Big 12 tournament and NCAA tournament play, and their last ATS loss came in February at Baylor. They’re an almost-perfect 7-0-1 ATS in March, and they ride a seven-game winning streak straight up.
But if anyone thought that Miami’s tournament run was a fluke, the team certainly silenced its critics with an 89-75 win over the top-seeded Houston Cougars on Friday night, advancing to the Elite Eight round for the second straight season.

This is a fun game between two teams that nobody had expected much out of in November when the season started. K-State was picked by most college basketball journalists to finish last in the Big 12, and FAU has no real pedigree to speak of that would suggest they would surge out and win over 30 games this season.
