I published the column below a couple of weeks ago, but due to several shifts in some of the conference standings, I think it might be best to update it by adding and subtracting a few teams.  Only teams in first or second place of their respective conferences or have an especially good chance of winning their conference [...]

Check out these two recently recorded 68 and 16 podcasts: http://68and16sportscast.tumblr.com/ BYU Edition: Another exciting week of college basketball is in the books and the two biggest winners were BYU and Virginia Tech.  Justin and I discuss how far BYU could advance in the tournament and whether Virginia Tech is now a virtual lock.  Also, get our [...]

The spreads below are from the Sportsbook’s current lines and are ordered based on my personal confidence in each.  Purdue (-1.0) at Michigan State- The Boilermakers have been rock solid on the road, and I’m not yet buying into this Michigan State “resurgence” talk. North Carolina (-6.0) vs. Maryland- The Terps just haven’t played  well enough on [...]

We are back with our weekly Thursday update on our brackets.  Justin and I breakdown our 1 through 16 seed lines and discuss the weak bubble.  Justin also made a comeback this week in our upset pool by hitting 4 of his 5 upset picks. http://68and16sportscast.tumblr.com/

The spreads below are from the Sportsbook’s current lines and are ordered based on my personal confidence in each. College of Charleston (-7.0) at Appalachian State- The Cougars have covered or pushed in their last 7 games and have been blowing threw everybody in the process.  They’re truly playing some of the best mid-major basketball in the country [...]

The spreads below are from the Sportsbook’s current lines and are ordered based on my personal confidence in each. Arkansas (+7.0) vs. Kentucky- When will oddsmakers figure out that Kentucky cannot play basketball away from home?  They are now 1-5 on the road in SEC play and haven’t covered in any of those 5 losses either.  The [...]

Justin and I are excited to introduce a new feature called the ‘Small School Spotlight.’  From now until the big dance, we will feature a team from a small conference that could make some noise come tourney time.  The first team to enter the spotlight is the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers out of the Big South [...]

The spreads below are from the Sportsbook’s current lines and are ordered based on my personal confidence in each. Ill-Chicago (+9.5) vs. Butler (2:00)- The Bulldogs have played poorly on the road throughout league play and only beat the Flames by 7 at home a couple of weeks ago.    FIU (+3.5) vs. FAU (7:00)- The Golden Panthers had the [...]
