You know what? No more models. I'm simply going with the anti-SportsLine Curse, which may well be unbeaten. When three or more cappers are on one side, and they are all on TCU, that means the other wins/covers. Frankly. I was cruising on college hoops this year until losing on Texas as a big ML favorite in the Big 12 Tournament vs. TCU ... the Horns blew a 20-point lead. Digging out of a hole since. What is a freaking Horned Frog anyways? Think I caught that in college. Whatever. I rarely just go with the SportsLine Projection Model but will here as it says Seton Hall by 3.

I have said it for most of the season, Seton Hall is a fraud. I am sticking with it and fading the Pirates. TCU is the best offensive rebounding team in the country and is going to be a problem for Seton inside. I have TCU winning the game so getting the +1.5 is a nice boost here. You never know in March.

I called two TCU games over the Thanksgiving holiday in San Diego, including the one in which it got destroyed by Santa Clara. I never would have believed this is an NCAA Tournament team. But that's how great a coach Jamie Dixon is. The Horned Frogs are back in San Diego for a late tip against a Seton Hall team that will have to adjust to time change, weather change and having traveled across the country.

Kevin Willard's name being linked to the Maryland opening can't be a good thing for Seton Hall leading into this matchup. Seton Hall is strong inside, but the Horned Frogs are just as good there, ranking second nationally in offensive rebounding. In their final six games, they beat Kansas, Texas Tech and Texas. Mike Miles is a special guard who lit up the Red Raiders -- the nation's top defensive team -- for 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting. While Jared Rhoden will get his, I like Jamie Dixon's team to improve to 12-4-1 ATS in its last 17 as a dog.
