Edit: Vegas spreads are out.

Also, Chicago region gets the Kevin Harlan/Reggie Miller team. Yes!

The best CBS team come tournament time.

[NewtonHawk11]

Don't think spread is official, though.

Probably close to being right.

I don't want to lose track of the fact that Remy Martin is averaging 17.5 PPG in this tourney (10-16 from two point range and 3-6 from three) and has 8 assists to just 1 turnover. What a performance.

Can't wait to see how they do Friday night. Fingers crossed that Agbaji starts to rediscover his range. Just 32-103 (31%) from the UK game to today. He seems to be trying to force up shots and has lost his rhythm.

He looks tight.

I disagree that he's forcing shots, he's been letting it fly all year, mostly with great results.

I just think teams have guarded him a little different since UK and that the result of it is that he is pushing up a shot as soon as he feels he has a tiny crack of a look. That's a huge drop off considering he was shooting 46% from deep prior to the UK game.

Also of note, those rims in Ft. Worth seemed extremely tight and bouncy. Anything that hit any rim material was bouncing off.

He has to stop with the long 2 point shots though. He's one of the worst 2 point jump shooters in major D1 ball at like 25%. He needs to focus on doing what he does best which is 3s and driving.

See the line is around 7.5 with a 141.5 O/U.

They're pretty dang good. But when they are off shooting they stink.

They have 5 losses on the year. 3 of those are by 20+ points. The other 2 are to Villanova by a total of 7 points.

Updated. They are having a really good season and will be pretty tough.

That said, the Iowa line would have been a lot closer.

[NewtonHawk11]

Probably 3 point favorite against Iowa right?

[CrimsonNBlue]

Yes, I think Newell posted something in the -3 to -4 range before the tourney started.

[NewtonHawk11]

The get-in price for the games on Friday are not that bad. $230 for the Friday session. With Iowa State with a surprise visit and KU fans with a planned visit, it's not the worst price. 2nd cheapest of all the sites. San Fran is 1st, Philly is next, then Chicago then the boring south in San Antonio.

My dad and I are trying to decide if we want to plan for both days or just wait to see providence result and then come to the Sunday game if we win friday.

[CrimsonNBlue]

If anyone is holding out hope to get a Sunday ticket from an ISU fan should they lose on Friday, give up now. ISU fans eating tickets and not selling to KU fans is a yearly tradition.

[MICHHAWK]

providance fans tickets for sunday will be going for cheap at the providance team hotel late friday night.

I have never had issues finding tickets for tournament games for the 1st 2 weekends. Especially if you are willing to pay for pretty good seats.

I haven't been to a sporting event in years.
What's the best way to get tickets for this?

Online secondary market seems to be the safest. Seatgeek. Stubhub. Vivid Seats. etc. Prices tend to be about the same.

[NewtonHawk11]

I’ve used TicketsForLess for the last 5 or so secondary market purchases. Easy process. They don’t charge fees, but their prices are about same as sites with fees included.
