Adam Hill, Review-Journal

Bankroll: $2,525

Friday: Lost $20

Today: Betting $330

Bet 1: $165 on Butler +3½ over Florida

Bet 2: $165 on Butler-Florida Under 132

Comment: If the Gators are settling for 3s and not hitting, Butler will control the pace.

Mal Van Valkenburg, Review-Journal

Bankroll: $2,165

Friday: Lost $880

Today: Betting $440

Bet 1: $220 on Butler +3½ over Florida Comment: Shelvin Mack and Matt Howard provide enough offense and toughness for Butler to keep pace with the Gators.

Bet 2: $220 on Arizona-Connecticut Over 145 Comment: Both teams should push the tempo. Kemba Walker and Derrick Williams are two of the most exciting players left in the tournament.

Matt Youmans, Review-Journal

Bankroll: $1,896 Friday: Lost $275

Today: Betting $352

Bet 1: $187 on Arizona +3 over Connecticut

Comment: Kemba Walker might carry UConn again, but Wildcats forward Derrick Williams is just as dominant, so take the points.

Bet 2: $165 on Butler +3½ over Florida

Comment: The blue-collar Bulldogs took it to Pittsburgh and Wisconsin, so they should be able to do the same to the Gators.
