4* Money-Maker
(NCAAB) UC Irvine vs. Louisville,
Point Spread: 9.00 | -107.00 UC Irvine (Away)
Result: Win
Taking CAL IRVINE here. Is it me or does this line look a little low. ACC vs Big West and not even laying double digits? Louisville. Rick Pitino's Louisville vs Cal-Irvine and we are getting 8.5, 9. Anteaters do nothing fancy. They play some solid defense. Other than that, this is as much David vs Goliath as there is in this tournament. Irvine actually led Arizona 29-26 at the half, on the road, before losing by 17. They lost at St Mary's by 3, 3 in OT at Oregon (up 7 at half), lost by 3 at New Mexico State, so they have played in some tough arenas. You know the crowd will be behind them here over big, bad Louisville. 4* Money Maker UC IRVINE
