(We will sort of be live blogging from The Place today. No promises on how much, but I'm bringing my laptop to keep all you miserable fucks stuck at work somewhat entertained)

So I was 6-1 yesterday.   Not surprisingly all the losers who base their entire lives around ripping me a new asshole when I miss a game were nowhere to be found.   Funny how that works huh?    Bottom line is I told everybody I was going to dominate this tournament and that’s exactly what I’m doing.    Nobody knows more about college hoops than me and once again I’m proving it.  The only disappointing thing was that we didn’t have a shitload of shirt orders yesterday.  Apparently people wanted me to go a perfect 7-0.     I guess I can’t blame them.  Anyway here are four more locked and loaded winners for today as I sit back and enjoy the festivities at The Place.

North Dakota State vs. Kansas -9.5

This is North Dakota State’s first time in the Big Dance.  I watched their conference championship game which they won like 23-21.    You better be able to score vs. the big boys and I don’t think these guys can.  Plus Kansas is an absolute team to watch in my brackets.  In fact, I have them going all the way to the Final Four for a rematch vs. Memphis.

The Pick – Kansas

Utah State Vs. Marquette – 5

I don’t care what you say about Marquette.  They suck without Dominque James.  Utah State is no fluke job.  Not only do they cover this game they outright the Golden Eagles.

The Pick – Utah State

BC vs. USC -2

As much as the Superfans probably don’t want to hear this I love them today.   It always amazes me that people fall into the same trap every year with conference tournament winners like USC.  Teams that sucked the entire regular season but then get hot for 3 games against teams that aren’t trying and suddenly everybody thinks they are great and will do well in the tournament.  It NEVER works that way.   Just ask Mississippi State who got their dick kicked in yesterday by Washington.    USC will revert back to the crappy team they were all season and BC should roll.

The Pick – Superfans

Cleveland State Vs. Wake Forest -7.5

Cleveland State has been a team I’ve been keep my eye on for the past month.   And even before the brackets came out I knew I was going to pick them no matter what.   Mark my words they are going to be the darling of this tournament.    There isn’t a doubt in my mind that they not only win this game but they get to at least the Sweet 16 and maybe even the Great 8.   This team has been very good all year.  They beat Syracuse at Syracuse.  They beat Butler at Butler for the conference championship and they should have beaten them the game before as well.   If you like money and betting games where the spread is never in doubt then this is the game for you.   It’s what we refer to here around the Stool as a “tshirt game”

The Pick – Cleveland State
