Sunday 3/24 service plays FreePicks.net aka football betting sheet NCAA Tournament Free Pick for 3/24/13: #15 Florida Gulf Coast vs. #7 San Diego State Posted March 23rd, 2013 by Chief Handicapper & filed under Basketball Picks. The darlings of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the #15 Florida Gulf Coast Eagles are going to attempt to become the first No. 15 seed in the history of the dance to win a second game in the NCAA Tournament. They'll try to beat the March Madness betting lines as 7 ½-point underdogs against the #7 San Diego State Aztecs at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. You're not going to find a better story than this one in the dance. Florida Gulf Coast didn't even have a school 16 years ago, and it didn't even play Division I basketball for the first time until six seasons ago. Now add into the mix the fact that the team was only eligible for the first time ever for the dance last season. It truly is a remarkable phenomenon. Not only were the Eagles good enough to beat the No. 2 Georgetown Hoyas to become the eighth No. 15 seed to ever beat a No. 2 seed, but they also did it in dominating fashion. Over the course of the whole second half, it was clear who the better of these two teams were, as FGCU was full of swagger and was knocking down seemingly every important shot that it took. San Diego State took a far less exciting path to get into the Round of 32. The Aztecs got 21 points from G Jamaal Franklin en route to a 70-55 win over the Oklahoma Sooners. The game was a dominating one defensively for the Mountain West reps, as the team allowed Oklahoma to hit just 39.7 percent of its shots from the field. In the second half, the Sooners only managed 22 points and never really had much of an answer to anything that Franklin and the Aztecs were trying to accomplish. We're full believers in the magic of March. Generally speaking though, No. 15 seeds don't play well after getting through the first round. In fact, they have never won the next game that they have played, and they are winless from an ATS perspective as well. The darlings of the dance are going to get busted on Sunday night. Take the San Diego State Aztecs -7.5.

Greg Shaker triple-dime bet 731 Minnesota / 732 Florida Over 122.5 Bookmaker.com Analysis: No need to get Over-Wordy here as this one is very Cut and Dry and the best kind to bet.

Red Dog Sports 2* Prairie View at Baylor 7:30pm Sunday pick: PV +61 This is the early line in this late game on Sunday. Baylor won last year's title and went undefeated. In their opener they beat UCSB by 81-40. The Baylor women are led by 6'8" Brittney Griner and they only lost one game this year. They stomped plenty of teams last year but the biggest win they had this year was by 65 points. They did win plenty by 30-46 points. Prairie View has won 8 in a row and won in 4 OT's in their last game to get this far. They are led by Etienne, who had 31 in that game as well as Williams and Scott. PV lost by 22 at Texas A&M, by 12 to Kansas and by 35 to Toledo. In game today, we did see UConn win by 105-37 (by 68) as that one opened with UConn -51 but did drop to -47 at one book. Prarie View is located in Texas so they should get some fans there. They will get stomped by more than 40 but I think the underdog has a decent chance to stay within 61 points. Baylor wants to win a title and will be happy to "survive and advance". Prairie View A&M +61
GOLDSHEET LTS EARLY SUNDAY, MARCH 24 COLLEGE HOOPS ST. JOHN'S (+10 1/2) over Virginia 8:00 AM PDT (Game #733)
South Regional: Day 4 NCAAB Betting Preview (8) North Carolina Tar Heels vs. (1) Kansas Jayhawks (-6, 141.5) North Carolina players presented head coach Roy Williams with a special jersey following Friday's victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, marking Williams' 700th career victory. A win in the third round against Kansas – which Williams led to four Final Fours – would be even more meaningful. And, if the Tar Heels needed any more motivation, there is the fact the Jayhawks bounced them from last year's tournament. Kansas beat North Carolina 80-67 in the Midwest Regional final last season, the second consecutive year the Tar Heels have fell one win short of the Final Four. Neither team was particularly impressive in winning their South Region openers, but the top-seed Jayhawks were pushed hard by Western Kentucky before surviving 64-57. The eighth-seed Tar Heels lost a 20-point lead but held off Villanova 78-71. The winner may be determined when North Carolina has possession: the Tar Heels are 14th nationally in scoring, while the Jayhawks lead the country in opposing field-goal percentage and rank second in blocked shots. TV: 5:15 p.m. ET, CBS. ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA (25-10): The Tar Heels have won nine of their past 11, as a balanced offensive attack has sparked North Carolina's late-season surge. Sophomore guard P.J. Hairston scored a team-high 23 points Friday. Sophomore forward James Michael McAdoo (14.5 points), Hairston (14.5) and junior forward Reggie Bullock (14.2) have combined to lead North Carolina in scoring 28 times this season. ABOUT KANSAS (30-5): The Jayhawks have to play better than they did Friday, as Western Kentucky's pressure defense gave Kansas trouble. Jeff Withey is a force inside. The 7-0 senior center scored 17 points and blocked seven shots in Friday's victory. Withey ranks second in the nation in blocks per game (3.8) while averaging 8.4 rebounds. The Jayhawks became the first team in Division I history to win 30 games or more four consecutive seasons with Friday's win. TRENDS: * Jayhawks are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall. * Over is 4-0 in Tar Heels' last four overall. * Under is 5-1 in Jayhawks' last six Sunday games. TIP-INS 1. North Carolina has won 25 games six times in the past eight seasons. 2. The Jayhawks are in the NCAA Tournament for the 24th consecutive season, the longest active streak in the country. 3. Williams will coach against his former school in the NCAA Tournament for the third time. The Jayhawks beat North Carolina last season and in the 2008 Final Four. (11) Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. (3) Florida Gators (-8.5, 122.5) Florida and Minnesota will try to maintain the momentum from their impressive NCAA Tournament openers as they meet in the South Regional quarterfinals Sunday in Austin, Texas. The third-seeded Gators stomped No. 14 Northwestern State 79-47 on Friday, about 2 1/2 hours before the 11th-seeded Golden Gophers took down No. 6 UCLA 83-63. Northwestern State entered the tournament as the highest-scoring team in the nation but Florida held the Demons to 15 second-half points. Minnesota smothered the Bruins from the opening tip, holding them to 31.7 percent shooting - including a combined 13-for-52 from the starters - on the way to its most lopsided win in tournament history. Florida features a well-balanced offense led by seniors Erik Murphy, Kenny Boynton and Mike Rosario. The trio entered the tournament averaging between 12.3 and 12.6 points. Murphy, a 6-10 post player, will need to team with 6-9 junior center Patric Young to keep Minnesota off the boards. The Golden Gophers entered the tournament ranked eighth in the nation in rebounding margin (8.2). TV: 6:10 p.m. ET, TNT. ABOUT MINNESOTA (21-12): Andre Hollins is still a sophomore but he's quickly becoming known for elevating his play this time of year. After averaging 19.5 points last season in the final two games of the Big Ten tournament and the first four of the NIT, Hollins scored 28 in Friday's victory against UCLA. His ability to score in bunches—he put up 41 points earlier this season in a win against Memphis—makes him a threat to put Minnesota on his back. As the primary ball handler, he's also been careful with his turnovers, recording two or fewer in nine of the last 10 games. ABOUT FLORIDA (27-7): Boynton scored 11 points against Northwestern State, becoming the second player in program history to surpass 2,000 for his career. If the senior guard can stick around long enough to score 84 more, he would pass Ronnie Williams (1980-84) as the school's all-time leading scorer. Boynton has played in 10 NCAA Tournament games in his career, averaging 14.8 points while leading the Gators into the Elite Eight the last two seasons. He's supported in the backcourt by Rosario and junior Scott Wilbekin, though the best 3-point shooter on the team is Murphy at 45.6 percent. TRENDS: * Gators are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a win. * Under is 6-0 in Golden Gophers' last six Sunday games. * Under is 9-1 in Gators' last 10 overall. TIP-INS 1. Minnesota coach Tubby Smith and Florida coach Billy Donovan were part of Rick Pitino's first coaching staff at Kentucky in 1989-90. 2. Minnesota and Florida played Florida State eight days apart during the nonconference portion of the season. Minnesota beat the Seminoles by nine points and the Gators prevailed by 25. 3. The winner will play either seventh-seeded San Diego State or No. 15 Florida Gulf Coast at the South Regional semifinals at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. (15) Florida Gulf Coast Eagles vs. San Diego State Aztecs (-7.5, 131) Florida Gulf Coast became the talk of the NCAA Tournament with its stunning 78-68 upset of Georgetown on Friday and will seek the program's second tournament win when it meets San Diego State in the South Region quarterfinals in Philadelphia on Sunday. While the seventh-seeded Aztecs are trying to reach the Sweet 16 for the second time in three seasons, the Eagles will try to become the first No. 15 to get there. The previous six No. 15 seeds lost by a combined 90 points in the Round of 32. Two very different dunks summarized their wins Friday. Eagles junior forward Chase Fieler went high in the air for a one-handed dunk on a fast-break alley-oop from sophomore guard Brett Comer to stop the Hoyas' late run. The Aztecs had everything working for them as they pulled away from Oklahoma late, including junior guard Jamaal Franklin's attempted reverse dunk that bounced on the rim three times before falling through. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, TBS ABOUT FLORIDA GULF COAST (25-10): Senior guard Sherwood Brown, who leads the team with 15.3 points and 6.4 rebounds, was vaulted to celebrity status after scoring 24 points in Friday's win. Brown was seen signing autographs and posing with fans in Philadelphia while the San Diego State-Oklahoma game was being played. Comer finished with 12 points and 10 assists - including three alley-oop passes during a 21-2 run - while turning the ball over just twice. The Eagles use a tough defense to spark its transition offense. "In the second half, we pushed the ball, we got out, we ran, we made shots, got some alley-oop dunks to energize the crowd," coach Andy Enfield told the media. "I'm very proud of our players." ABOUT SAN DIEGO STATE (23-10): Franklin, who leads the Aztecs with 16.9 points and 9.4 rebounds, has scored in double figures 30 times in 32 games, including a 21-point performance in the 70-55 win over Oklahoma. Senior guard Chase Tapley, the first player in school history to appear in four NCAA Tournaments, became the fourth Aztec to pass 1,500 career points. San Diego State is 19-3 when holding opponents to under 40 percent shooting, the latest win coming against Oklahoma (39.7). Coach Steve Fisher was pleased with is team's second-half defense as the Aztecs pulled away from the Sooners. "We have a little bit of an MO where our second-half defense doesn't match our first half, and (Friday) our second-half defense was superior to our first half and that's how we won," he said. TRENDS: * Eagles are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games following a win. * Eagles are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. * Under is 5-1 in Aztecs' last six overall. * Aztecs are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games following a win. TIP-INS 1. Florida Gulf Coast has won six straight and has not trailed in the second half of its last four games. 2. Sunday marks the first-ever meeting between the teams. 3. San Diego State is 3-8 at the NCAA Tournament while the Eagles are the only team in tournament history to have a 1-0 record.
East Regional: Day 4 NCAAB Betting Preview (9) Temple Owls vs. Indiana Hoosiers (-11.5, 147) Indiana made quick work of its first opponent in the NCAA Tournament, but Temple has established a reputation as a giant slayer. The two teams will square off in the Big Dance for the first time since 1994 on Sunday when they meet in the third round of the East Regional in Dayton, Ohio. The top-seeded Hoosiers never trailed against James Madison en route to an 83-62 win on Friday, shooting better than 50 percent for the fourth straight time in a NCAA Tournament game. The nine-seed Owls, seeking their first Sweet 16 since 2001, overcame their recent history of early exits in the NCAA Tournament with a 76-72 victory over North Carolina State behind 31 points from Atlantic-10 Player of the Year Khalif Wyatt. Temple, which went 5-3 against tournament teams in the regular season, has defeated at least one top-10 opponent in each of the last five years. The winner of this contest will meet either four-seed Syracuse or 12-seed California in Washington, D.C. TV: 2:45 p.m. ET, CBS ABOUT TEMPLE (24-9): Wyatt went 12-for-14 from the foul line Friday, giving him 200 made free throws – breaking the single-season school record held by Hal Lear (1955-56). His 31-point effort – his sixth 30-point performance of the season – was the best from an Owl in the NCAA Tournament since 1991 and was made even more remarkable considering the fact he injured his left thumb when he got it caught in a defender's jersey early in the second half. ''He's as tough a competitor as I've had an opportunity to coach,'' Temple's Fran Dunphy said following the game. ''He wants the moment.'' Wyatt has hit at least nine free throws in six straight games, going 62-for-71 over that stretch. ABOUT INDIANA (28-6): The Hoosiers – the highest-scoring team remaining in the tournament – exceeded 80 points for the 19th time. Freshman Yogi Ferrell finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists Friday, becoming only the third Indiana player to reach those totals in a NCAA Tournament game (Keith Smart in 1987 and Tom Coverdale in 2003). "Yogi certainly got us going in a great direction with the way that he moved the ball…he was able to find some great areas to attack," coach Tom Crean said following the game. Christian Watford scored nine points Friday, giving him 1,708 points for his career and moving him into 10th place on the school's all-time scoring list. TRENDS: * Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. * Over is 10-2 in Owls' last 12 games following a win. * Owls are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight NCAA Tournament games. TIP-INS 1. Indiana is 10-1 all-time as a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. 2. Temple has nine wins as a No. 9 seed or lower, tied with Gonzaga for the most since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. 3. Jordan Hulls is tied with Randy Wittman and Jeff Newton for the most games played (133) by a Hoosier in school history. (7) Illinois Fighting Illini vs. (2) Miami Hurricanes (-6.5, 128.5) Second-seeded Miami seeks to tack another memorable chapter into the season scrapbook when it faces Illinois on Sunday in Austin, Texas with a Sweet 16 berth on the line. The No. 4 Hurricanes have only advanced to the Sweet 16 once in their mostly lackluster history but are primed to make a deep run with a talented cast that won both the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season and tournament crowns. Seventh-seeded Illinois beat Colorado in its tournament opener. The Fighting Illini used a late 16-2 run to pull away from Colorado in a 57-49 victory. Coach John Groce is aware a better full-game effort will be needed to slay Miami. "I know that they have got great size and I know they're going to play very hard," Groce said. The Hurricanes trounced University of the Pacific 78-49 in their first game and getting any NCAA Tournament was a big deal to senior center Reggie Johnson and senior guard Durand Scott. "I was saying to Durand, we waited four years to play in this tournament and we finally got our first win," Johnson said. "I went up to him and gave him a big hug and told him that we're not done yet." TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, TNT ABOUT MIAMI (28-6): A huge part of the Hurricanes' meteoric rise is tied to how the players have bought into second-year coach Jim Larranaga's system since he arrived. Johnson accepted a lesser role and Scott gave up the point-guard duties to Shane Larkin, who transformed the team and won ACC Player of the Year honors this season as a sophomore. Scott scored 21 points against Pacific, Johnson grabbed 10 rebounds and Larkin recorded nine assists. "One of the things as a coach that you want to be able to do is trust your players, especially your point guard," Larranaga said. "And since the very first day I saw Shane Larkin play, I thought he was great. And he's only gotten better at making decisions, at developing his skills and developing his role as a leader." Larkin averages 14.4 points and 4.6 assists, with Scott (13.5) and senior forward Kenny Kadji (13.1) also scoring in double digits. ABOUT ILLINOIS (23-12): The Illini are a streaky squad that often goes through feast or famine stretches. That includes shooting the basketball as Illinois missed its first 14 second-half shots against Colorado and went 3-for-22 in the half. Senior guards Brandon Paul (team-best 16.6 scoring average) and D.J. Richardson (12.5) aren't immune to rough patches. "We're mature players," Richardson said. "We have been in college for four years. We have been through ups and downs throughout our careers. We are shooters. We both can shoot. We're going to keep shooting even if they don't fall." TRENDS: * Over is 7-0 in Hurricanes' last seven NCAA Tournament games. * Fighting Illini are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a win. * Hurricanes are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. TIP-INS 1. Illinois won the lone previous meeting, 86-78 during the 1968-69 season. 2. Kadji has eight double-doubles this season. 3. Paul has led the Illini in scoring 22 times this season and 40 occasions in his career.
West Regional: Day 4 NCAAB Betting Preview (13) La Salle Explorers vs. (12) Ole Miss Rebels (-3, 143) Mississippi and La Salle have historically enjoyed their stays in Kansas City, Mo. during the NCAA Tournament and did nothing to dispel that with a pair of second-round upset victories on Friday. One of those teams will add to its success in the city on Sunday when they meet in the third round of the West Regional. The 12th-seeded Rebels collected the program's fourth victory in the "Big Dance" when they stunned Big Ten power Wisconsin, improving to 3-0 in NCAA Tournament games played in Kansas City. The fifth-seeded Explorers are also 3-0 all-time during NCAA Tournament play in Kansas City, where they won the school's only national championship in 1954. La Salle picked up its second tournament win in the same season for the first time since 1955 after it held off Kansas State in dramatic fashion, less than 48 hours after securing a first-round victory over Boise State in Dayton, Ohio. The winner of this contest will meet either Gonzaga or Wichita State in a Sweet 16 matchup in Los Angeles. TV: 7:40 p.m. ET, truTV ABOUT LA SALLE (23-9): The hot shooting that served the Explorers so well against the Broncos (season-high 63.3 percent) completely fell apart over the final 20 minutes Friday. La Salle shot 3-for-18 (16.7 percent) and scored 19 points against the Wildcats in the second half after shooting 58.1 percent and posting 44 points in the first half. However, the much-maligned La Salle defense – which allowed its opponents to shoot an Atlantic 10-high 45.6 percent – forced Kansas State to miss its final eight field-goal attempts. After scoring 12 combined points in losses to Saint Louis and Butler, leading scorer Ramon Galloway (17.1 points) is averaging 20 points through two NCAA Tournament games. ABOUT MISSISSIPPI (27-8): Marshall Henderson – the leading scorer in the SEC – missed 12 of his first 13 shots against the Badgers, but outscored Wisconsin by himself 17-10 over the final 11:25. "He made that first shot and I celebrated," coach Andy Kennedy said following the game. "As long as he's taking shots within our offense, our guys understand that. We were getting him looks. Then once he makes one or two, we keep feeding him." The Rebels figure to enjoy a significant advantage in the front court against the undersized Explorers. Reginald Bucker – a 6-9, 235-pound forward – had five blocks against Wisconsin while 6-7, 240-pound Murphy Holloway has 13 double-doubles and led the SEC in rebounding. TRENDS: * Rebels are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall. * Under is 5-0 in Rebels' last five overall. * Explorers are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six Sunday games. TIP-INS 1. Mississippi will set a single-season school record for victories with a win on Sunday. 2. La Salle's 23 victories are its most since going 30-2 during the 1989-90 season. 3. Twelve-seeds are 8-2 against No. 13 seeds all-time in the NCAA Tournament. (10) Iowa State Cyclones vs. (2) Ohio State Buckeyes (-7, 141) Ohio State managed to avoid any of the pitfalls that has plagued the top seeds in its second-round game on Friday. The second-seeded Buckeyes now look to advance to the Sweet 16 when they face Iowa State in the third round of the NCAA Tournament West Regional at Dayton on Sunday. The Buckeyes have failed to make it out of Dayton in their two previous NCAA appearances, however, going 1-2 overall. Seeded 10th, Iowa State posted a convincing win over Notre Dame in its tourney opener. The Cyclones' defense put the game away late in the first half forcing 14 turnovers before the break on the way to a surprisingly easy win. Iowa State hopes its powerhouse offense, ranked fourth in the nation in scoring, is on track for a long run in the tourney. TV: 12:15 p.m., ET, CBS ABOUT OHIO STATE (27-7): Court general and defensive wizard Aaron Craft did the job on Iona's Lamont 'Momo' Jones in the opener. Jones, who entered the game third in the nation in scoring, was limited to nine points on 3-of-14 shooting as the Buckeyes rolled 95-70. Craft had a season-high six steals. Ohio State has now won nine straight games, four of them coming against ranked teams. "We have a lot of confidence," said Sam Thompson, who scored a career-high 20 points against the Gaels "We know that if we come out and do the things we're supposed to do on both sides of the ball, we could beat any team in the country." Ohio State didn't score over 74 points in any conference game this season but relished the frantic pace of Iona to scored a season high. ABOUT IOWA STATE (23-11): The Cyclones have reached the third round for the second straight year under coach Fred Hoiberg. Last year Iowa State was bounced by eventual national champion Kentucky in the third round. The Cyclones used a balanced attack against Notre Dame getting a team-high nine points in the first half from Big 12 newcomer of the year Will Clyburn in the first half. Clyburn didn't score after the break but he didn't need to. Iowa State hit 12 of its first 14 shots in the second half and eventually built a 27-point lead. The Cyclones hit nine 3-pointers in the contest, one under their season average of 10. TRENDS: * Buckeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall. * Buckeyes are 5-0 ATS in their last five neutral site games. * Over is 8-0 in Cyclones' last eight vs. Big Ten foes. * Over is 5-1 in Buckeyes' last six NCAA Tournament games. TIP-INS 1. Ohio State is 8-7 against RPI Top 50 teams. Iowa State is 45th in the RPI. 2. The Buckeyes have advanced to three straight Sweet 16's. 3. Iowa State has four transfers on its new-look roster. And Georges Niang, who scored 19 points against ND, is a freshman.
Midwest Regional: Creighton vs. Duke Betting Preview (7) Creighton Bluejays vs. (2) Duke Blue Devils (-5, 144) Led by sharp-shooting Seth Curry, second-seeded Duke looks to take another step toward a possible fifth national title when it meets upstart Creighton on Sunday in the third round of the NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional at Philadelphia. The Blue Devils shrugged off a pesky Albany team in their tourney opener. A year ago Duke was also seeded second but lost its first tournament game to 15th-seeded Lehigh. The seventh-seeded Bluejays got 27 points and 11 rebounds from junior All-American Doug McDermott and put the game away at the free-throw line to fend off Cincinnati in their opener on Friday. McDermott, a highly-touted NBA prospect, may turn pro after the season but he'll have at least one more collegiate game to enhance his resume. Creighton has won six straight and is the best-shooting team in the country. ABOUT DUKE (28-5): The Blue Devils' title chances were given a major boost when senior forward Ryan Kelly returned from a foot injury for the final games of the season. At 6-11 and armed with a strong outside game, Kelly - part of Duke's 2010 national championship team - is a nightmarish matchup. But it was stalwarts Curry and Mason Plumlee who carried the Blue Devils past Albany. The tandem combined for 49 points on a spectacular 19-of-25 shooting as the Blue Devils atoned for last year's early exit. "Plumlee did the best Kareem Abdul-Jabbar imitation I've seen in a long time," Albany coach Will Brown said. "He hit three sky hooks. I haven't even seen somebody attempt that shot in my 12 years at Albany, and he hit three of them." Coach Mike Krzyzewski has won an NCAA Tournament-record 80 games. ABOUT CREIGHTON (28-7): The Bluejays finished the first half of Friday's second-round game on a 6-0 run and never trailed again on their way to a 67-63 win over Cincinnati. Creighton was inconsistent throughout the contest - it shot 63 percent with 10 turnovers in the first half, then hit just 7-of-23 shots in the second half but converted 9-of-10 free throws in the final two minutes to prevail. The Bluejays also reached the third round of last year's tournament but were eliminated by North Carolina. Creighton has won tournament games in consecutive years for the first time in school history. TRENDS: * Bluejays are 6-0 ATS in their last six games overall. * Blue Devils are 0-4 ATS in their last four NCAA Tournament games. * Bluejays are 6-0 ATS in their last six neutral site games. * Under is 4-1 in Blue Devils' last five non-conference games. TIP-INS 1. Albany shot 36.5 percent in its loss to Duke but was 9-for-15 from 3-point range, the best by far of any Duke opponent this season. 2. McDermott broke his own school scoring record for the season with 803 points. 3. This is the first meeting between the schools.
NCAA Betting Mismatches: Sunday's Round of 32 Finding a chink in the oddsmakers' armor is tough come tournament time. But we peel back some of Sunday's Round of 32 matchups, looking for some underlying mismatches that could make or break your college basketball bets this March. Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. Florida Gators (-8.5, 122.5) Golden Gophers' aggressive attack vs. Gators' passive offense Minnesota doesn't shy away from contact and will be looking to attack Florida's superior frontcourt when these teams tangle in the Round of 32. The Golden Gophers rank 40th in the land in free throws attempted per game (22.5) and draw an average of 19.2 fouls per game. The Gators need to keep their big men Patric Young and Erik Murphy on the floor if they want to avoid an upset. Florida doesn't have the same knack for getting to the line, drawing just 15.7 fouls per game (320th) and shooting only 16.1 freebies per game. This spread and total could be decided from the stripe Sunday. Illinois Fighting Illini vs. Miami Hurricanes (-6.5, 128.5) Illini's bean poles vs. Hurricanes' girth The Hurricanes catch a lot of flak for their age but the fact of the matter is Miami is "man strong". That's a big difference maker in college sports when playing against teenage kids. Illinois has some height, with big men like 6-foot-11 shot swatter Nnanna Egwu, but there's not much meat on those bones. They've been bullied by bigger, badder teams this season. The Canes can push around most teams, which is why they dominate the glass and score a ton of second-chance points. Miami's bruiser Kenny Kadji is a beast on the blocks and should go to work against a weaker Illini frontcourt Sunday. La Salle Explorers vs. Mississippi Rebels (-3, 144) Explorers' hot shooting vs. Rebels' shot blockers La Salle has shocked its way to the Round of 32 thanks to red-hot shooting, knocking down 53 percent of their field goals (52 for 98) including 46 percent (18 for 39) from beyond the arc. The Explorers, however, won't have a chance to get comfortable from outside with Ole Miss' SWAT team hounding them. The Rebels' defense has improved drastically during the postseason. They've allowed only 55.75 points during their SEC title run and opening NCAA win over Wisconsin. A huge part of that is Mississippi's ability to block and change shots. Ole Miss ranked 20th in the country in blocks (5.1) and sent six shots away versus the Badgers – five of those from forward Reginald Buckner. La Salle's shooting touch will be tested with the Rebels constantly getting a hand in the face.
Low - Scoring Round of 64 Pleasing Under Bettors Scoring is down early in this year's NCAA Tournament. Really down. Teams scored an average of 64.5 points per game in the second round – the lowest-scoring Round of 64 since the shot clock arrived in 1986, according to ESPN Stats and Info. That resulted in a combined 13-19 over/under mark in the second round.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Vt. project aims to cut health care costsBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | October 06,2013MONTPELIER The launch of the states new online insurance marketplace last week has temporarily sucked the oxygen out of the debate over health care reform in Vermont. But as the public gaze turns toward a website designed to help people buy insurance, work continues behind the scenes to limit the price Vermonters will have to pay for it.
And later this month, state officials will launch a three-year, $45 million grant-funded initiative that aims to redefine the scope of the health care industry and reduce costs in a sector that now accounts for about one-fifth of the states gross domestic product.
Vermont is one of only six states nationwide to land a federal State Innovation Model grant. The SIM money is meant to incubate nascent health care initiatives whose successes might eventually be repeated elsewhere.
As the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services explains it, Vermont will develop a high-performance health system that achieves full coordination and integration of care throughout a persons life span, ensuring better health care, better health, and lower cost for all Vermonters.
To accomplish the feat, a team of more than 200 doctors, hospital administrators, state bureaucrats, information-technology specialists and human services workers, among others, will try to fuse together a patchwork of health-related fields whose failure to communicate effectively has made for an inefficient delivery system.
We are talking about a health system that is terribly fragmented and lacks the integration we have all talked about, Mark Larson, commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access, told a panel of state lawmakers last week.
The reality is different folks are in charge of different pieces, and in terms of creating real structural reform in how the system operates, we need the different people with control over different pieces to try to work together.
The three-year grant builds off a foundation years in the making, wherein teams of providers from doctors and nurses to counselors and nutritionists assume collective responsibility for all aspects of an individual patients care.
The so-called Blueprint for Health, as the model is known, has begun to evolve thanks to the creation of Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, in which teams of hospitals and providers integrate payments and services across the health care system.
Vermont has two ACOs. One includes Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., and every community hospital in Vermont. The other includes independent practitioners. An application for a third ACO is pending.
Al Gobeille, chairman of the Green Mountain Care Board a five-person panel established by the Legislature in 2010 to set insurance rates, approve hospital budgets and oversee payment reform initiatives says that if Vermont health care reform is a sailboat, the SIM grant means we just got a lot more wind.
He says, Its the money and the organizing and the influence that accelerates our ability to do things we were already working on.
Examples of existing integrated-delivery projects include an initiative at Rutland Regional Medical Center, where doctors and administrators decided to see if they could reduce re-admission rates for people with congestive heart failure.
The project, which involved 80 patients, successfully reduced the re-admission rate to zero, according to Gobeille.
Theyre able to manage patients once theyre discharged from the hospital either at home or at a nursing home by increasing the skills of providers in those settings, he said.
At Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans, meanwhile, health care workers have gone outside the conventional care model to reduce the estimated 8,100 avoidable emergency room admissions at that facility every year.
Richard Slusky, director of payment reform for the Green Mountain Care Board, says the purpose of the next phase of reform is to scale those kinds of initiatives, and employ the same kinds of strategies across provider networks to spark more systemic change.
Ultimately I think it will be in the interest of ACOs to look at these different approaches and say, Well, maybe we can apply them in a broader scale or scope, Slusky says. Because if this is a means of improving the quality of care and reducing cost and improving patient experience, we can benefit financially from this.
The launch of the SIM project will for the first time see the inclusion of Medicaid-eligible patients in the ACO model.
Anya Rader Wallack, former chairwoman of the Green Mountain Care Board who has since been hired by the state to lead the SIM grant initiative, says the expanding needs of Medicaid patients creates an opportunity to bring in components of the social-services network that havent traditionally been involved in the medical system.
ACOs benefit financially by reducing costs across a specific population. If they succeed, they get a share of the savings. If they dont, they could potentially lose money.
Since the cost of care for Medicaid patients might include not only medical procedures and pharmaceuticals but home care, personal care, case management and other services available to the poor, Wallack said hospitals will have a newfound incentive to reduce costs in those areas as well, and, in so doing, redefine what it means to make a patient well.
It gives us an opportunity to use these payment-reform models to affect much broader integration and much broader change potentially, Wallack says. So to me that is the promise of Medicaid, that it actually takes us into some of the other services where we can, as a state, think about how we spend state dollars, and shift money to places where we could get better results for them.
Reduced costs arent the only metric by which ACOs will be judged. Patient outcomes and patient experience also will be gauged, according to Slusky, who says there are reliable ways of measuring those variables.
Precisely what form the SIM model assumes is still unclear. The state has yet to decide whether the Medicaid savings program will be conducted under the auspices of an existing ACO, or if it will reconstitute existing ACOs for the project.
The SIM project will also seek to achieve savings among populations of patients who get their insurance through the private carriers Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont and MVP.
Gobeille says success will be measured in the size of future hospital budget proposals, in the rate increases sought by insurance providers, and in the easing of the pressure on Vermonts Medicaid budget.
The question is will we see payers not asking for rate increases as high, will we see Medicaid budgets come in below the actual target? he says. And we have seen that in the last 12 months in the state of Vermont, so some of this work is already having consequences. -

Every Saturday, Chris Kamara heads to stadiums up and down the country to deliver his unique match reports for Soccer Saturday.
On Sundays you can see him back in the Sky Sports studios as he brings you all of the highlights on Goals on Sunday.
And then on Mondays you can find Kammy right here on skysports.com as he brings you his views on the Premier League weekend.
Read below for his thoughts on Swansea's Capital One Cup win over Bradford,
Swansea deserve all the acclaim, but will this be the start of big things for them?
It's all very well being the favourites, but how many times have the favourites been toppled before? The Capital One Cup Final went the way you thought it would go if Swansea played well on that big Wembley pitch - and that's exactly what they did. Swansea outclassed Bradford on the day and the pitch was too big for the League Two side.
However, you don't know how Swansea will progress from here because so many clubs will look at players like Michu, Jonathan de Guzman, Nathan Dyer and Ashley Williams, who probably aren't the best-paid players in the Premier League but have been performing brilliantly. They'll have ambitions and you never know if this squad will be broken up or not. In an ideal world this group would stay together for the next five years, but we don't live in an ideal world.
Bradford should not feel disappointed after their campaign
The players will feel disappointed and it will be hard to swallow for them to lose 5-0 and I don't think they will want to watch the video back for a few weeks. But the achievement for them was getting there and there's no disgrace in being outclassed by an excellent Swansea team. At the end of the day, they were there and a lot of other teams would have liked to have been there, whether they got battered or not. They gave their fans a day out and had a good day out for themselves and their families.
I don't think Manchester United would have played 4-4-2 against Swansea on that big Wembley pitch, I think they would have gone 4-5-1, so it was always a recipe for disaster when Bradford lined up in that way. However, it was brilliant to see their fans singing until the end. The big fear was that they would get tortured by Swansea's passing and walk away with 15 minutes left, so it was good to see them stick around.
I don't think there was any need to send off Matt Duke
I know that by the letter of the law Duke should have been sent off for tripping De Guzman, but we have seen plenty of incidents this year where a yellow card was given. As I've said on several occasions in this column, players shouldn't be sent off for denying a goal-scoring opportunity when the opportunity is given back with a penalty. When the goalkeeper is involved it's even more relevant. People will say that if a goalkeeper deliberately trips a player and then saves the penalty then it's unfair, but you still don't know if De Guzman would have scored. I'm sure he would have done 99 times out of 100 but we've seen people scuff shots in that situation.
I think Kevin Friend could have looked at the situation as well. Bradford were not going to come back (there were ironic cheers when Gary Jones had their one shot on target which probably didn't have enough power in it to reach the back of the net...) and there was a massive gulf in class. They were 3-0 down and nobody would have slaughtered the referee if he'd shown a yellow card. In fact he'd have probably got more plaudits.
I still can't see much hope for Manchester City in the title race
They deserved to beat Chelsea on Sunday, but I can't see lightning striking twice and Manchester United throwing away another lead at the top of the table, like they did last season. I can't see Sir Alex Ferguson letting a 12-point lead slip, especially after the injury news over Robin van Persie wasn't as bad as initially feared.
You never know what might happen in this game, but I would be very, very, very surprised if Man City win the title this year. Whenever you say something in this game it can bite you in the backside, but I think it's difficult to see Man United losing four games between now and the end of the season.
The relegation battle is far from over though...
Harry Redknapp was more positive after the Manchester United defeat than he has been for a while. He usually tells it as it is and he says that with the fixtures coming up, they have a chance. He'll target the game with Southampton next week and if they lose that then it's probably all over. We've said for the last three months that if they don't win their next game they'll be down, but I don't think you could go beyond the Southampton game and say that again.
I was at the Reading v Wigan game and the first goal came off the arm of Gary Caldwell, but the referee couldn't see it from his position but his assistant should have done. There was a bit of injustice for Reading there, but after that it was a very one-sided game. Wigan didn't look like a relegation team and they are a team that is used to the pressure at this time of year.
It was a huge win for Arsenal, but the pressure is still on them
After losing to Blackburn and being outclassed by Bayern Munich it was vital for them to beat Aston Villa. Barring a miracle, there's no way back for them in the Champions League so they needed a morale-boost ahead of the Tottenham game next weekend. It's not nice watching somebody like Arsene Wenger crumble on the touchline and it's sad to see a man who has done so much for the club in the position that he's in now. It must hurt a hell of a lot to get so much criticism from the fans.
After Everton lost to Norwich, it looks like four from five will go into the Champions League so the big challenge for them is to get above Spurs. Next weekend's North London derby looks like another huge game in a season where Wenger has been continually under pressure.

Sean Taylor (Arsenal fan) says...
Giving out about the ref is ridiculous, we call for consistency and Kamara is giving out that the keeper shouldnt be sent off because Bradford were losing. Refs cannot win

Gary Hird (Manchester City fan) says...
what happened to the Brithish national anthem at the cup final on Sunday. Surely Wales is part of Britain? Was it because it might upset some of the Welsh people at the game? If they feel that strongly that we have tonot play the British national anthem at an English cup final maybe the should go and play in the Welsh league and cup. Will they boycott the Europa cup games as they will be representing England? Im sure they wont. What is wrong with the FA a few boos would have just made those booing look like idiots so let them get on with it

Dave Dave (Wigan Athletic fan) says...
If youwatch the first wigan goal hes actually pushed by the reading player, hence he cant make the header, so it shoudve been a penalty anyway..

R C (Arsenal fan) says...
Matt Duke had to be sent off. He took down a player and denied a goal scoring opportunity. To say there was no way back (3-0 was the score) then ask Arsenal fans who were 4-0 up with 40 minutes to go against Newcastle, or Reading who were 4-0 up with an Arsenal side looking beat. If Swansea had missed the penalty, conceded one themselves and lost a man in the process then it would be a two goal difference... the ref made the right decision. Aside from that, the referee would have been negatively scored in his review. Disagreeing with the law is a different argument, and one I agree with - the penalty replaces the opportunity in most cases and a yellow/penalty should suffice where there it is not intentional (though an incident like Suarez's handball for Uruguay against Ghana should always be a red).

Obama to address Americans on Tuesday for support of Syria airstrikes
He cast the regime's "brazen use" of chemical weapons and the deaths of hundreds of children as a violation of international norms and said failure to act would empower other "rogue nations, authoritarian regimes and terrorist organizations" to develop and use weapons of mass destruction.
But the American President left the Group of 20 meeting of the leading rich and emerging economies without a strong mandate for military action, underscoring what he acknowledged would be a "heavy lift" to sell Congress and the public on a show of military force.
Obama made no progress with the Syrian regime's chief military and political supporter, Russian President Vladimir Putin, though the two talked for nearly 20 minutes at the summit, an unscheduled tete-a-tete that came even as Obama had scrapped a pre-summit meeting with Putin over mounting frustration with Moscow.
He acknowledged that some countries were reluctant to act without a U.N. Security Council resolution. But with China and Russia blocking sanctions against Syria from their perches on the Security Council, Obama charged that the "international community is paralyzed" and that the U.S. needs to act.
With the U.N. gridlocked, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said diplomatic approaches had run their course with Assad and there was no alternative left but military action.
"We cannot afford to signal to North Korea and Iran that the international community is unwilling to act to prevent proliferation or willing to tolerate the use of weapons of mass destruction," Power said. "If there are no consequences now for breaking the prohibition on chemical weapons, it will be harder to muster international consensus to ensure that Hezbollah and other terrorist groups are prevented from acquiring or using these weapons themselves."
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, endorsed the Tuesday speech, saying that "members of Congress represent the views of their constituents, and only a president can convince the public that military action is required."
Congressional leaders have spent the week wrestling with the call for authorization, and Obama said he hoped they'd consider the situation beyond what they might be hearing from voters.
He called reports that he was looking to expand the targets for a strike inaccurate, and said he was looking at a "limited, proportional strike" without military officials on the ground.
He said the U.S. had a particular responsibility to act. He cited past interventions that were unpopular at the time, from World War II to Kosovo.
McClatchy Washington Bureau reporters David Lightman and William Douglas contributed to this article from Washington.
