Tourney Talk with Brian Edwards, Part VIII
__________________________________________________________________________
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: So who do you see, from The SEC, even making the tournament?
Brian Edwards: Right now, Vandy (Vanderbilt), Kentucky and Tennessee are the only locks. Ole Miss, Mississippi St. and Florida are on the bubble. The Bulldogs can really bolster their resume tonight with a win over the ‘Cats. UF and Ole Miss will square off in Oxford this weekend. The Gators are coming off a tough week with losses at South Carolina and vs. Xavier. UF has a pair of strong non-conference wins against Michigan St. and FSU, but it had better beat both Vandy and Tennessee at the O-Dome in the coming weeks. Right now I predict that five SEC teams will get in, as I see Ole Miss and Mississippi St. finishing strong, while the Gators will falter.
