For those Americans out there.

March 28, 2010

I've been challenged to a wager. Today will see four teams from the NCAA Elite 8 go against each other for a seat in the NCAA Final Four:

(6)TENNESSEE vs. (5)MICHIGAN STATE

(3)BAYLOR vs. (1)DUKE

I don't really know much about basketball and the attributed teams, so i was wondering who i should put my money on. Any suggestions?

Love you on mock of the week.

Are you betting straight up or with a point spread?

First game I'd be inclined to take Tennessee, as Michigan State has lost their starting point guard and arguably their best player to injury. While it didn't stop them last round methinks it'll catch up with them vs. Tenn. who are coming on strong after a victory over 2-seed Ohio State.

Duke/Baylor is more of a toss up, Duke is the higher seed but Baylor has shown better form in getting to where they are in the tourney. Baylor will probably be the underdog, in which case I'd probably take them + the point spread.
