Well, we’ll know soon if that was the right move. Most of the field agrees with you. Iowa State is still listed as a 1 point favorite here on Bovada. You and I definitely don’t appear to be contrarian upset-pickers! Pretty amazing that out of 16 games we only differ on one. On the women’s side, there’s hardly any disagreement among us. Notre Dame is nearly a 3:1 favorite to beat Oregon State, and brian_123 is the only one who picked the dog. The closest thing to a pick-em game is UCLA-LSU, and only two picked the slight dog UCLA. It seems like on the women’s side there is a wider descrepancy between the haves and have-nots; a handful of dominant programs, with the rest of the country at least one notch below. The women’s tournament should get a lot harder to pick in the Final Four.
