Picks for the NIT quarterfinals, plus an NIT future.
Joe’s Notes: For Dusty May…What About Indiana?
Like it or not, questions about Bloomington accompany Michigan’s new head coach. Also: Washington State hits an inflection point, SMU might be stupid, and the NFL’s weeknight march should go slowly.
Tournament Probabilities: Was the ACC Undervalued?
Plus: UConn’s clearer path, Houston treading water, and a new NIT favorite.
The Tournament Isn’t Chalky Yet: Today’s Chaos Likelihood, Yesterday’s Games
If favorites rule today, then yes, it might be a chalky year. But we’re not there yet.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, March 24th
Picks for all five NIT games and one in the NCAA Tournament, plus another round of futures.

Auburn’s loss is a big, big deal.
Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, March 23rd
Six picks against the spread, ten more futures. Big day for the portfolios.
Joe’s Notes: The Real Problem for John Calipari
The youth thing might be an issue. But it isn’t the main one. Also: Fixing replay review, Washington State in the clutch, and more thoughts on all of yesterday’s games.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, March 22nd
An embarrassing moneyline parlay, Nebrasketball, and ten more futures.
Joe’s Notes: The Most Desperate Teams in the NCAA Tournament
Plenty of teams want a Final Four. Only one needs that championship more than the rest. And it’s not Purdue. Also: Conference correlation, the three Ohtani possibilities, and Otz vs. the Jacks.

Two moneylines, ten futures.

Is it still UConn or Purdue?

Look for three 5 and 6-seeds to go down.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, March 20th
Four NIT picks tonight, plus two NIT futures.
Joe’s Notes: Virginia Deserved to Be in the Tournament
Good vs. Deserving, same as it ever was. Also: Is Nebraska on the rise? Did Tom Izzo blast mid-majors? And Tony Bennett’s doing a bad job.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, March 19th
Two NIT picks, picks for each play-in game, and one NIT future, because we had to.
Joe’s Notes: UConn Faces a Terrible NCAA Tournament Path
Who’s helped, who’s hurt by the bracket. Also: MLB players vs. Scott Boras, Clemson needs someone to want them, and Colorado State vs. Virginia.
