Momentum matters in March, David Delano's got it.
With a 40-24 college basketball run and consistent success across all sports (93-59), Friday’s board is another chance to stay hot.
This Friday 3-Pack locks in my top three reads of the day.

The PLAY: Pennsylvania +25.5 (-110)
This ultimately comes down to the number. Asking any team to win by 25+ points in an NCAA Tournament setting is a tall order, especially against an opponent that can shoot the three at an elite level. Penn’s 38.7% shooting from beyond the arc gives them a built-in equalizer; they don’t need to match Illinois possession-for-possession; they just need to convert enough shots to stay within range.
Illinois plays at a slow pace, ranking 322nd in average offensive possession length. Illinois does not force turnovers. Illinois also ranks dead last in defensive turnover percentage, and going against a Penn team that relies on ball movement and three-point shooting, that could allow the Quakers to stay comfortable offensively.
Even with Roberts out, Penn has already shown it can lean on TJ Power to carry the offense and take Penn to cover.
