A look at the 5 major conference tournaments here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2013/03/13/top-5-sizing-up-the-best-conference-basketball-tournaments/1984619/

QuoteMain story lines: Georgetown, Louisville and Marquette finished in a three-way tie for the regular-season title at 14-4, leaving a cutthroat tournament to determine the top overall team. This is the final year of the tournament as we know it, with seven of the league's Catholic schools — DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St.John's and Villanova — forming part of a new 10-team conference. Syracuse and Pittsburgh are leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference (Notre Dame is likely to join the league earlier than planned), and Rutgers is going to the Big Ten. Longtime Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim's potential retirement surely will be a subplot, despite his assertion he is not thinking about stepping down.

Key players: Otto Porter, Georgetown (16.4 ppg, 7.5 rpg); Russ Smith, Louisville (17.9 ppg); Vander Blue, Marquette (14.4 ppg); C.J. Fair, Syracuse (14. 5 ppg, 7.1 rpg); Jack Cooley, Notre Dame (13.6 ppg, 10.6 rpg)

Projected winner: Marquette

They put the same picture in the Sports section and called it the Conference Realignment Map.

Before he left my roommate just told me "Marquette is minus 3 tonight"

I've always interpreted that to mean that I can go bet on that.  As in, I put up, say, $100 and if Marquette either wins or loses by only one or two, I win $100.  In other words, whoever comes up with that line thinks that ND will win by 3 or more points. 

Correct me where I went wrong on this.

It means Marquette is expected to win by 3. Or ND is expected to lose by 3. If you bet Marquette -3, you'd win the bet if MU won by 4 or more. If you bet ND +3, you'd win the bet if ND lost by 2, 1, or won the game.

I think.

Correct.  And if MU wins by exactly 3, you get your bet back.

And that isn't counting the juice. You'll typically get -110... meaning you have to bet $110 to actually win $100.

Latest Vegas line is MU a 3 point favorite, with the under/over at 126.
