NCAA games I like

Manhattan +5.5 over Florida
Syracuse -2 over BYU (price looks cheap)
Washington -1.5 over UAB (thanks Big Al)
Xavier +2 over Louisville

I will fade Conference USA a lot here. The conference is overrated with six teams in.

I like CUSA, from what I ve seen they have multiple strong teams which will favor them come NCAA tourny games. These teams are battle tested and I expect a big effort from CUSA. These are the games I took in first round:
Illinios - 7.5 4 units
UNC Charolette +2.5 3 units
Vermont + 20.5 3 units
Cincinatti- 9 2 units
Pitt - 14 1 units
Feel free to fade away.

My idea of fading Conference USA didn't really work, but I still got there with a plus.

Overall your picks were very strong, still the CUSA isnt that bad of a conference. If I just bet your games I would have made a nice profit instead of less than 1 unit profit. U got any thoughts on the second round? I like:
Texas +1 I think UNC is just getting to much respect they havent been that great all year and Texas seems to be pretty steady.
Maryland - 2.5 The rebounding edge should be in the double digets, unless Maryland doesnt shoot well I think win easily.
