Analysis
My selection is on Missouri plus the points over Miami at 10:10 pm et on Friday. Missouri has to be pretty happy about its opening round draw as it gets Miami in its own backyard in St. Louis on Friday. The Tigers limp into this tournament off three straight losses both SU and ATS. While Miami does own the better overall record in this matchup this season, Missouri has faced the considerably more difficult schedule by most metrics. Miami took full advantage of a lull in its schedule in February with arguably its toughest matchup coming against North Carolina - a game that it got at home and won by nine points. Of course, that victory doesn't look quite as impressive now that we've seen the Tar Heels full body of work. Missouri has had some wild swings from a betting perspective this season going from overvalued to undervalued and back again. At this stage, I think the Tigers are being undervalued in this 10-7 matchup. While I certainly don't anticipate seeing a deep tournament run from Mizzou, I do think it will avoid being 'one-and-done' and we'll grab the couple of points as an added bonus. Take Missouri (8*).
