Tourney Talk with Brian Edwards, Part IV
__________________________________________________________________________
On the weekend of February 12, 2010, I spoke with Brian Edwards of Vegasinsider.com about The 2010 College Basketball season as we head into The 2010 NCAA Basketball Tournament. Brian Edwards has been a mainstay as a handicapper with Vegasinsider.com since 2002. He regularly appears on ESPN radio, 1620 The Zone, and even hosts his own show entitled “Power Hours.” 
During our in-depth conversation, we covered a wide range of college basketball topics, and The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. will be releasing installments of “Tourney Talk” segments leading up to The March Madness Tournament.
Brian’s keen sense of sports, developed through years of expert handicapping and ATS (Against The Spread) analysis, has made him one of our favorite handicappers and a great choice to provide expert insight on how The NCAA Tournament will shape up as the smoke begins to clear. Because bracketology will only get you so far.
Big Nasty: On the flip side, every year there seems to be a team (last year it was Wake Forest) that is bounced early as a high seed. Who is in danger of being that team this year?
Brian Edwards: I’ll go with Tennessee and Texas to perhaps be bounced as early as the first round. The Vols went through a lot of drama in early January and to their credit, they answered the bell after the dismissal of Tyler Smith. However, I get the sense that Bruce Pearl’s team is running out of gas recently. We’ll see if they can find a second wind. As for the Longhorns, they can’t make free throws and lack quality point-guard play. Those are two kisses of death come March.
