Say what you want about Michael Irvin, but he won a championship at every level. Every. Level. St. Thomas Aquinas high school, University of Miami, Dallas Cowboys

We will certainly start a Draft thread soon to talk about that. Ja'juan James was solid, but 2013 Tennessee Vol Dallas Thomas? Not so much. Great call with the Wisky ML yesterday. I didn't have the balls to do the ML.

It will close with Duke the favorite.

Gotcha re: the TV station. Oh well, I'm stuck watching it where I'm at on the Kentucky feed. Awesome.

I'm watching it on TNT. It should be unbiased, it's a national telecast.

I get that Rex Chapman went to Kentucky, but call an impartial game. Goddamn, he's telecasting it like he's a fucking cheerleader. It is extremely unprofessional and hard to watch unless you're a Kentucky fan.

Wisconsin is handling Kentucky's bigs well so far. With Towns having 2 fouls, I'm not sure we see him until the second half.

Mo, it was my impression we all like Wisky today. Maybe I'm wrong. And yeah, we all liked Ole Miss. It was the sexy, trendy dog.

Duke 72 Michigan State 65

The last time this entire board liked a dog, I believe it was Ole Miss +3 against TCU... Tread lightly.

Line is now -1.5 everywhere. I expect to see -2 by tipoff. I want to reiterate that this should be as close to a Temple home game that you will find. Plus, Miami will be hard pressed to match the intensity it took for them to come back down 18 in the second half at Richmond. One thing about The U is it is consistently inconsistent all season long. Check Miami's schedule, they follow up big games with clunkers. Temple is 14-3 the last 17, with two of those losses against a ranked SMU team Temple simply doesn't match up well against.

Zach Thomas. Yes, he made 7 Pro Bowls, but he is not even discussed for the HOF and that guy's motor was incredible. He doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Miami's only real post threat is Jekiri, so I expect the Owls to be fine and to out score Miami in the paint. Miami relies too much on outside shots, when they win, they're falling, but I always get the feeling during Miami games that they make it so much harder on themselves than their opposition. GL either way, but I like this play a lot. I also expect MSG to be quite pro-Temple.

I thought this would be Temple -3'. Temple has been a different team since 3 transfers joined and Miami is awfully thin upfront. I think this is the type of game that Miami matches up poorly defensively. I'd hammer it at Temple -1 now because it's not going to drop. GL

Great line, ajt. Ole Miss +3.5 for me.
