Happy Thursday Bucketheads! With Byrd taking point on the final four games, I (Joe) wanted to drop a word salad on you guys for this NIT Championship tonight. Both of these squads are from my primary conferences, so I have seen a ton of Aggies and Musketeers hoops this season. The Showdown is small with a $10 entry and $1000 going to 1st place. Never-the-less, who wouldn’t want a grand in their pocket heading into the weekend? The format below is a little more like how we use to do it in the past. The view is from a game perspective and not just the plays we like. It’s longer form, but ultimately spells out the reasons for the plays with

Final Four Saturday
I can't believe we are here. Only three men's college basketball games remaining in the season. The Final Four begins Saturday and after all the chaos leading up to this point we are left with 4 true Blue Blood programs remaining in the dance. DraftKings main slate features a 6,274 player field and an $80,000 prize pool. Winner will take home $20K. That's like two full tanks of gas, Bucketheads!! We don't have Prize Picks at the bottom, but we'll send out some winners on Saturday via Twitter (@CBB_DFS). This is also good opportunity for us to pander one last time for donations. If we've helped you win some cash this year or provided cheap entertainment, feel free to throw
NIT Tuesday
We've got ourselves a little appetizer as we wait for the blue blood Final Four heat on Saturday. Although the over/unders are uninspiring, both games should be very competitive. As we near the end of the season, we'll take any hoops we can get at this point. Let's enjoy the small slate and hopefully one of our Bucketheads can take down the $2k 1st place price. Good luck tonight!!

Sweet 16 Day 2 – $20K to 1st
What a wild start to the Sweet 16 with both Arizona and Gonzaga going down last night. We are down to one #1 seed left and can fully expect more drama today when our 4-games get started around 6:00. Can the Peackocks continue their cinderella run? Is Kansas the final one to fall? What double digit seed prevails between ISU and Miami? We'll find out the answer to all these questions tonight!!

Sweet 16 Day 1 – $20K to 1st
Hard to believe the Sweet 16 is already here. The tourney has been incredible so far and we fully expect more fireworks over the next 4 days. Tonight's slate has a mix of fast paced teams, elite defenses, and the never ending Coach K story line. With the overall lack of value options on the slate, I think a lot of users will gravitate to Au'Diese Toney or Devonte Davis for salary relief. Those two players could really make or break the slate tonight. It should be an interesting slate but one thing we know for sure is that college basketball will always deliver, just like your boys @cbb_dfs!! We've got the foundational information you need to build your
Two NIT Semifinals Highlight Wednesday Slate

Today four more teams will look to do the same as the NIT semi-finals make up our two-game DraftKings slate. The contest tips. off at 6:00 again with Wake Forest taking on SEC cinderella Texas A&M and closes with Washington State in Provo taking on BYU. We have it all broken down from a DFS perspective so let's dive in and win all the money!

NIT Double Feature – Tuesday’s $2K to 1st
We are fully recovered and back to our normally scheduled content, Bucketheads! Tonight we have a small two game slate featuring a pair of NIT quarterfinal matchups. DraftKings is awarding $2,000 to first prize and winning that doesn't sound like a bad way to end a Tuesday. Our first matchup is the Bonnies and Cavaliers at 6:00. This game should be defensive in nature with a total around 125. Vandy and X make up the second contest. A little more offense in this one with the status of Paul Scruggs impacting this game in a variety of ways. Plenty of ways to go with your builds so trust your gut and read through our likes below! Good luck, Bucketheads! Games,
MARCH MADNESS!!! Friday’s $20K Tourney
Let's run it back Bucketheads!! As always, college basketball delivered last night, including the shocking Peacocks victory. We fully embrace the chaos of the tournament, so rip up those brackets and enjoy the madness!! From a DFS perspective, we brought the heat yesterday and plan to bring it again tonight. We have over 30 individual players listed, but even more mentioned throughout each paragraph. If you don't see a player listed, that's ok!! We can't list them all, so trust you gut and bring home that $20k 1st place prize tonight!! From a PrizePicks perspective, we had some stinkers last night but we'll come back fresh today and tweet out some options for the early window and again
MARCH MADNESS!!! Thursday’s $25K Tourney
The best sports day in the history of Western civilization has arrived Bucketheads!! There is nothing better than taking off work and ignoring your family for 48 straight hours while watching of the round of 64. Given the parity this season, we are fully expecting an incredible slate of hoops on Thursday. From a DFS perspective, with the 16 game slate and some pretty tight pricing overall, should be a ton of unique lineups and ownership spread out fairly well. A couple housekeeping notes, especially for any new folks giving us a follow: With a 16 game slate, we can't list EVERY play. If there is someone you are thinking about and you don't see them listed below, that's
Tuesday First Four and NIT
We did it!! March Madness is upon us, at least the play-in games, and we couldn't be more stoked! DK has a small 5 game slate, $12 entry with $2k going to first. The slate has both NCAA Tournament play-in games and 3 first round NIT games as well. Just a little taste to hold us over until Thursday. Be sure to keep your Twitter fingers active and check out @CBB_DFS over the next few days. We'll have a March Madness bracket podcast tonight with a very special guest. We'll also continue to post any critical DFS-related info, and most importantly, our whereabouts in Milwaukee for any Bucketheads that want to meet up with us! Exciting days ahead, let's get off
