Miami, Fl. will take their 25-7 record on the season into a first-round game vs. 27-7 Drake in Albany, NY. The Hurricanes saw their margin for error diminish later in the season, leading to four-straight ATS losses to close the season. I think this opens the door for a surprisingly good Drake team that hasn't lost a game by more than four points since December 17. Drake is playing their best basketball of the season heading into the Tournament as the Bulldogs are 13-1 in their last 14 games, and have the experience edge here as they returned four starters from a year ago. Drake beat a very good Mississippi St. team on a neutral court by 6, and they are more than capable of winning here. Make the play on Drake, on the moneyline.
