takes place tonight in Miami, and the Heat need
a win in the worst way...
cont.
Miami
center, Shaquille O’Neal is playing some of
the best basketball of his career right now. It

last chance at a title, and it is partially because
he wants to stick it to Kobe Bryant and the Lakers
for trading him before last season...

EST. with George Mason (+6) versus Florida the early
contest. UCLA and LSU is expected to be the closer
game as these two have played some lockdown defense
in the College
Tournament post-season. Here is a game preview
and a prediction. ...
cont.
The
Final Four is set to begin this Saturday night at
6:00 p.m. EST. George
Mason and Florida is the early contest as it
is considered less desirable from a television perspective
than UCLA and LSU. ...
cont.
The Final Four is all
set, and the early odds at offshore
sportsbook VIPsports.com have UCLA (+2) versus
LSU and George Mason (+6) against favored Florida.
The odds to the win the national championship are
also out, and here are some quick notes on each
team that you may want to consider. ...
cont.
The NCAA tournament
is down the Final
Four, which means it is time for everyone to
commiserate how their brackets have gone to Hell
in a Handbasket. The Final Four teams include a
two seed (UCLA), a three seed (Florida), a four
seed (LSU) and an 11 seed (George Mason). ...
cont.
The NCAA tournament
is down to the Elite
Eight, with the last four teams gaining entry
last night. Villanova defeated Boston College, Connecticut
outlasted Washington, Florida beat Georgetown, and
George Mason downed Wichita State. The madness continues
today with two games. ...
cont.
Memphis, Texas,
LSU, and UCLA have reached the Elite Eight, while
Bradley, West Virginia Duke and Gonzaga
can only wonder what could have been. Both the Texas
and UCLA games came down to last second shots, and
we can only hope for similar action tonight. ...
cont.
The Sweet Sixteen is
chock-full of great college players, but only a
small subset of those will be selected high in this
year’s NBA draft. Here is a look at five 2006
Tournament All-Stars & players this weekend
who are expected to be in the top seven picks come
June. ...
cont.
The Sweet Sixteen kicks
off tonight with four games and we will be down
to the Final
Four by the end of the weekend. You can expect
plenty of exciting action along the way, as this
tournament is as wide open as any in recent memory.
... cont.
This is the second
March Madness
article focusing on possible upsets. In the upset
article for the first round, three of the six underdogs
picked won the game outright. Pacific was another
team focused on against Boston College, but they
lost in double overtime. ...
cont.
Take a breath and come
up for air, as the first two rounds of the NCAA
tournament are finally over. What started at 64
teams is now down to 16, and while there are not
any more games scheduled until Thursday, VIPsports
Edge will be doing coverage all week, so stay
tuned. ...
cont.
Thursday was an exciting
day of college
hoops and it continues Friday with 16 more action
packed contests. Yesterday, the favorites went a
solid 10-6 versus the spread. The three biggest
upsets were Syracuse (5 seed), Nevada (5 seed) and
Oklahoma (6 seed). ...
cont.
All across the
country this week, people are filling out their
NCAA
tournament brackets. That goes for the “office
pool” guy as well as the so called “experts”.
Here at VIPsports Edge, we are also getting into
the action. Note that team seeds are listed in parenthesis.
...
cont.
Every year in the NCAA
tournament, there are big upsets in the first round.
Sometimes it is a 12 seed beating a five, sometimes
it is a 14 seed shocking a three. This is the first
of two articles focusing on some possible
upsets. The Friday upsets will be come out tomorrow.
... cont.
The updated odds
are out to win the NCAA tournament. According to
VIPsports.com,
Connecticut is the favorite at 5:2. Duke is right
behind at 4:1 and Villanova is 8:1. While this columnist
is favoring UConn at this point, here are three
more teams to keep an eye on, including an interesting
long shot. ...
cont.
The brackets are out
so let the “Madness” begin. The number
one seeds are in with Duke, Memphis, Connecticut
and Villanova making it. There were no big surprises
there, but there were plenty of others. Check in
with VIPsports
Edge all week for some of the best NCAA coverage
anywhere. ...
cont.
March Madness
starts in a mere three days and the build up and
excitement for this event has never been stronger.
A big reason for this is
tournament parity. The number one and two seeds
are more vulnerable than ever and upsets have become
the norm and not the exception. ...
cont.
Conseco Fieldhouse
in Indianapolis is the home of the Big
Ten tournament which continues today. There

cont.
When it comes to the
NBA’s
Western Conference, there is the “Big Three”
and everyone else lumped in behind. San Antonio,
Dallas and Phoenix are all playing above .700 ball,
and the Suns still await the return of center Amare
Stoudemire, who has missed all season. ...
cont.
The major conference
tournaments like the ACC, Big East and Big 10 start
later this week, but there is still plenty of good
college action tonight. The Horizon
League championship is one such example with
Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Butler battling in Milwaukee.
...
cont.
Don’t
look now, but Duke’s “Cameron Crazies”
are going crazy again, although this time it is
of the mental patient variety. You see, the Blue
Devils lost at home to North Carolina on Saturday
night, 83-76, giving them two consecutive losses
for the first time this season. ...
cont.

where we focus on a contender for the conference
and NBA
championship. VIPsports Edge has the up to the
minute futures odds that will satisfy even the most
hardcore NBA fan. So check back with us often as
we continue the march to the NBA playoffs. ...

NBA
Predictions - It is a light night in the NBA
with just three games on the docket. New Orleans
/ Oklahoma City travels to Seattle to play the underachieving
SuperSonics, Orlando plays the Lakers in Los Angeles
and the Timberwolves head south to Chicago to face
the Bulls. ...
cont.
If the old
saying is true that “revenge is sweet”
then you can understand why there is a lot of sweetness
right now in the State of Connecticut. That is because
the home-town Huskies avenged an earlier ncaa
championship season loss to Villanova with a
convincing 89-75 win yesterday. ...
cont.
Thursday is TNT
doubleheader night in the NBA with Indiana at
Detroit and Sacramento at the Lakers. This is a
great time in the NBA as team’s make their
stretch run to the playoffs. VIPsports Edge will
be ramping up its NBA coverage so make sure to check
back often. ...
cont.
There a number of Top
25 college basketball teams in action tonight,
but the best one resides in Gainesville as Tennessee
comes to town. Both of these teams are trying to
rebound from losses on Saturday, and a win by Tennessee
would essentially wrap up the SEC East title. ...
cont.
Offshore
NBA Betting - When it was announced that Phoenix
center, Amare Stoudemire was going to miss a good
portion of this year with a knee injury, I wondered
whether Suns management had already booked their
trip to the 2006 draft lottery in Secaucus, New
Jersey. Turns out, I was dead wrong. ...
cont.
NCAA
Basketball Rankings - Don’t look now,
but the entire State of Connecticut is in mourning
right now. No, their current Governor was not arrested
like the last one. It is because their beloved UConn
squad will not be the number one team in the country
when the polls come out today. ...
cont.
The
Big East is in the spotlight again tonight with
an important battle of Louisville at Syracuse. Louisville
is in danger of not making the Big East’s
12 team tournament, while Syracuse is trying to
finish their season strong and cement an NCAA tournament
berth. ... cont.
Once upon a time, the
NBA
All-Star game was taken very seriously by the
players. Now, it has morphed into more of a global
marketing weekend for the league, than an actual
hardcore competition. That said, it is always fun
to see the best players on the planet assembled
on one court. ...
cont.
Parity
has come to college basketball, folks. Out of the
top 20 teams in the Associated Press pre-season
poll, seven of them have a chance at missing the
NCAA March
Madness tournament. Here is a breakdown of each
team, some of which are the most storied programs
in the nation. ...
cont.
NCAA
Basketball Picks - Big 10 powerhouses collide
as Michigan State tries to fix their road foes with
a win at Iowa. The Hawkeyes are playing their best
ball of the season, and are looking to avenge an
earlier 30 point road loss to the Spartans. This
is the nationally televised game on ESPN at 9:00
EST. ...
cont.
NCAA
Basketball Polls - Monday Rewind - College basketball
is coming off another strong weekend, and once again
the top seeds ruled the roost. The highest eight
ranked teams all won, four of which covered the
spread, which means there will not be a shakeup
at the top of the rankings. ...

odds. VIP Sports has the futures

(12:5) to long-shot Dayton (10,000:1). ...
cont.
- The ESPN “College
Gameday” crew heads to the Pacific Northwest
to broadcast Stanford at Gonzaga. The Zags have
had some quality teams the past few years, and have
been a darling around tournament time, but their
newfound national publicity is due to one player,
Adam Morrison. ...
cont.
- College Basketball Picks -
The city of Pittsburgh is still celebrating the
Super Bowl victory of their beloved Steelers, but
they better get over their hangover soon, as there
is another local team shooting for its own title.
The Panthers
basketball team continues its march into the
postseason when it hosts highly ranked West Virginia.
...
cont.
The Detroit Pistons have a 39-8
record, and are on pace for a 68 win season. They
won the NBA
championship two years ago, and were in the
Finals last year. Former coach, Larry Brown got
a lot of the credit, but it is General Manager,
Joe Dumars who deserves the majority of it. ...
cont.
The Duke
and North Carolina rivalry has a ring to it
like the Red Sox and Yankees and the Cowboys and
Steelers. It is that much engrained into the psyche
of the American sports fans, and makes this game
still exciting even with Duke having a talent mismatch.
... cont.
