I absolutely love Bracket Busters....Between the fact that Vegas doesnt spend as much time on the smaller conferences and they certainly don't know when small vs. small play each other...Watch out tomorrow because it could be my largest card of winners this season.
Yale +12 -- Fits into my theory of taking the underdog in a low over/under total. 113 is borderline ridiculous so i'll take the 12.
William and Mary +4 -- The Tribe have proven themselves on the road time and time again. If they win this game, they punch their ticket to the tourney potentially.
Over 122 Tribe/Iona -- This will take some antacids to hit but I feel like people are just going off the fact that the tribe are slower. If WM is hitting their 3's, this over won't be enough. It'll be close and it'll be painful with scoring droughts but it'll go over.

Another winning day yesterday...granted it was 3-2 but oh well. Add South Alabama to Fullerton as the only two teams in the country that I can't get right ever. Those of you who read my thread regularly know that I rarely put forth this big of a "please pick this bet" vibe. On the radio show here in Richmond, I've made 5 "millenium lock" type bets with the last three being Temple beating Ohio in football, the under in the Wazzu/UNC tourney game and the Flyers beating the Caps in Game 6 i believe.
I hate doing these things because if it's wrong people won't listen to my thoughts but I feel real strong about this. Here it goes....
Nevada -1
The reasons for this are many:
- Nevada's not half bad this season. You are getting a shorter line because of the perceived records difference. They've got the size and depth to keep up.
- VCU just played Wednesday night and left from that game for Baltimore before flying into Reno. Long flight arrival about 3 or 4 pm today out there. The altitude has to get to them at some point
- The Rams lack of depth. VCU doesnt play as many guys as they would if Kearse and Ndongo were there. They won't be pressing as much i'd think with the issues of altitude and legs.
- What's the motivation here? ESPN royally screwed this team with this matchup by making them go out West and play 48 hours after a tough home game with Delaware. A VCU win doesnt get them onto the bubble. A VCU loss doesn...
