Of the few experiences that stimulates lasting memories ‘winning’ is likely in the top 3 for many. For we strive to win in most aspects of our lives including the daily commute, our jobs while rooting our children’s achievements.

Achieving an Auto-Bid to the Big Dance is no small feat in itself and cherished above all for the fact that the entry was earned via a W rather awarded by a subjective committee at the defeat of others downfall.

Achieving an Auto-Bid to the Big Dance is no small feat in itself and cherished above all for the fact that the entry was earned via a crowning Conference title game rather awarded by a subjective committee at the defeat of other teams pitfalls.

This year’s collection of Dancers includes 36 teams [ playing off Su Loss ] wishing they punched a winning ticket.

Rallying off the Win is where we find teams exciting and they carry that momentum into the opening round. Especially when their ticket was forged from adversity of winning a close game [ by a Bucket or less ].

The intense win electrifies these teams as they coalesce that can-do mentality into the tourney first-round evidenced by the fact that since 2000

Tourney Dogs +2 or more off a
Su Win of 2 or less are 27-7 $ATS

Fortunately, the 2025 March Madness tournament presents a qualifying matchup in the Mighty Underdog role powered by the Zips of Akron. Yes they overcame a hard fought battle vs. Miami Oh in the Mac Conference Title game last Saturday.

We take comfort in knowing the Akron is battle tested inside this Mighty Magic doggie system as they own a 1-1 $ATS record having lost their last opportunity to the fierce foe Creighton Blue Jays from the Big East Conference.

Bonus notes: The Blue Jays struggle as tourney doggies going 2-8 $ATS L10 games while dominating as a favorite. They are formidable NCAA Tourney favs owning a 7-2 $ATS L9 ledger and they flattened Akron as favorites last year.

This year Akron rumbles with Arizona who is coming off a Su Loss yet will feel far superior to this Mac Conference Mid Major Double Champion Zips club [ won the Mac regular and post season ].

Arizona slept walk thru the regular season and they are a paltry 2-11 $ATS including 1-8 L9 $ATS when giving away points to Big Dance partners.

Our fortunes get fancier noting teams bringing elevated energy from a gritty ‘found a way to get it done’ kinda win and now taking doubles [ +10 > points ] elevates us to 15-3 $ATS. Finally, if our Mighty Doggie was installed as the favorite last game like Akron, we soar to 12-1 $ATS winning heights.

We take the floor this Friday knowing full well There’s No Need to Fear … Mighty Underdog is Here … Let’s Go Akron - May The Ball Bounce Our Way!
