DOC’S LOCKS: MM DAY 3

March 23, 2024

We cleaned up yesterday friends. Had FAU not forgotten how to play basketball in overtime and had we just not trusted New Mexico at all it would’ve been an undefeated day. Regardless tho, plus seven unis. That’s what we like to see. But just like the teams who won last round, we can’t rest on our laurels. I’ve seent the board. The ghost of Bobby Knight has spoken to me. Shown me the way. I know where we’re going now. I know which doors to open to take us home.

In the words of Sean Kingston “we can go to the tropics sip pina coladas, shawty I can take you there”. Hop on the LL Cool J Coors Lite Soul Train. It’s time to ryde.

ARIZONA -9 vs DAYTON

Similarly to the other day, this has nothing to do with Arizona and everything to do with fading Dayton. Anthony Grant will fumble this when it matters most and don’t forget that. Also Arizona is pretty good. Tommy Lloyd will make sure they blow out the flyers.

KANSAS mL vs GONZAGA

Man Samford almost got em the other day. But the ghost of James Naismith made a call and the Jayhawks got to advance. While this Kansas team isn’t great, that game probably woke them up a little bit and they’re gonna be firing at max capacity. I like them to beat the zags out right. Also Bill Self is way better than Mark Few. Take the better coach.

NC STATE -6.5 vs OAKLAND

Cinderella not gonna keep it going. NC State is a legit team and Kevin Keats is a good coach. He’s not gonna let Oakland just go nuclear today and honestly I don’t know how they can shoot as well as they did the other day again. Also bad at free throws. If Kentucky wasn’t so incompetent they would’ve won that game. I like big diesel from nc state to impose his will.

ILLINOIS -10 vs DUQUESNE

Thank you Jeff

Similar to above, Duquesne is cool but Illinois is a legit good team. This is their chance to make it to the sweet 16 for the first time in forever and they’re not gonna get a better draw than what they have here. I think Underwood drags them along and gets them there with a blowout of doo kwez knee today.

OREGON +4.5 vs CREIGHTON

Shoutout Sabrina

Dana Altman. One of the best coaches in the country. If anyone can drag a team to the sweet 16 it’s him. I just don’t trust Creighton. I think this game will be tight enough down the stretch that the ducks will have a shot to win. Worst thing that could happen here would be overtime, but I like Oregon to cover the 4.5 and honestly win.
