Analysis

At 7:35 pm, on Thursday, in the NCAA Tournament, our selection is on the Maryland Terrapins + the points over Florida. Going into this tournament, Florida was a point spread darling. It was 26-8 ATS, and covered the spread by an average of 5.73 ppg. Unfortunately for its backers, Florida has burned money in this tournament, going 0-2 ATS. I think that streak will reach three games on Thursday, as #1-seeds have gone 6-11-2 ATS in the Sweet 16 Round off back to back ATS losses. Moreover, the Big 10 has dominated the SEC in the NCAA Tournament "in Vegas," as it's gone 16-7-1 ATS in the last 24 meetings. And it's also 20-11-2 ATS the last 33 meetings when the Big 10 team has been the underdog. Take Maryland. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
