I actually think (hypothetically) that we would have been closer to +17-18 if we had drawn Duke. The matchups would have been more challenging (see: Bagley/Carter) and Duke has no real injury issues going in.
Bucknell really got a tough 3. I don't think they will cover that number.
Keep an eye on the money line. This is where the real gamblers like to play. Penn is still at +850 which is better than all the 15's and close to some of the 14's. These are all pretty volatile at this stage, but a closer look reveals that the penn/KU line is as much about KU as it is Penn. We see something similar with GA St. and Cincy Also at +850-900.
Meanwhile - Harvard opened at +11.5 vs Marquette FWIW.
