Next best day to plant a tree is today. Use this as a get right game. Get some confidence back. Make FTs.

It's an uphill battle to the NCAAT, but one day at a time.

I use a different source primarily which provides a consensus of 4 or 5 different sites (one of which just jumped to -27). But I do check ESPN. They aren't always the same. j

Something is clearly going on.
