14-10 last week +9.75 Units
I tell you, greed is a funny thing. I am having a very nice week, and going 1-1 and my 1st losing day really made me pissed of. Not the -.2 Units, the way it happened. UP 73-58 w/ 6:29 left. Nia goes 0-5 FG, 1-6 FT, and 3 TO. They scored 1 more pt in the last 6mins. Even missed a FT under 15 secs that would have at least pushed. Fck it, oh well. Big Card today, and scary cause I really like some of these. Might add Units as day goes on. It seems to be one of those days that if you are on, ride it, if not, walk away.
Baylor -4 -115 **4 Units***
Team are ave 44%FG vs. OK. Baylr ave 48% FG and 71%FT. The Bears ave 76ppg on road, are 7-5 away and 4-1 in L5. In the last match up, Baylor won 91-60 and shot 58%FG and 10-20 from 3pt. I hate road chalk, but, OK is not playing the same kind of ball as BU.
N.Mex +8.5 **4 Units***
I'm sorry, but I still think Los Lobos are the best in this Conf. I can give you all the reason to like BYU, but still very high on this team. How many times do we see this team get to the tourney and be 1 and done? N.Mex is 10-2 on road, and last time beat BYU 76-72 even after going 21-33FT. Anice thing to now was they were +6 in reb. I think this game comes down to the wire, and BYU might pull this one out, but would nto be surprised if the Lobos pulled it out.
SIU +8 **3 Units**
Not the best idea to fade a team that you acked the last 2 games, but I think I see the writing on the wall. The Woo SHock are now only 1-6 ATS in Feb. Yes, they are 16-0 @ H this yr, but 5-5 ATS. They won @ SIU this yr 55-54 on 1/31. HCA isn't that much in a series in which SIU has won 3 out of the L4. Saluks keep it "closer than the expert think."
ASU +6 ***3 Units***
Tempo. This game will be all about tempo. 1 style vs. the other. If the P10 gets 2 teams in, these are it IMO. I have seen Sparky live, and I tell you, some people just think its boring. But, as any Jersey kid will tell you, watching a boring Offense run it to perfection is a sight to see. Cal is 14-1 @ H, and beat ASU 78-70 this yr @ ASU (-1). The Bears though shot 50%FG and 14-14 from the line. That won't happen twice. Battle for the #1 seed comes down to the wire.
VT -120 ***3 Units***
Turtles are 6-5 on road. VT is 14-0 @ H. Opp ave 56.8ppg in Blacksburg, where the Hokies are ave 74ppg. MD won 83-73 last meeting and shot 24-26 from the line (92%). I am going to say that is a rare occurence. Close game down to the wire, I will take the great Home team that needs the W vs. the ave road team.
Citadel +11 ***3 Units***
Tempo might be the 1 factor here, but this has a letdown written all over it. Wofford, who is prob the team I played 2nd most this yr behind College of Knowledge of course, just won the big 1. NOw they are the #1 Seed in Southern Conf. They get the bad misfortune of having to play Citedel next. Wofford is 11-1 @ H, but only 4-5 ATS. They squeaked out 44-42 W this yr vs. Cit. They shot 17-57 FG(29%) and 2-12 3pt (16%). Those #'s might not stay the same, but too many here IMO. Wofford wins by 7.
College of Knowledge -120 **2 Units***
I would feel like an idiot if I did not play this. This is no walk in the park and coming off a L is not an auto win here for Charleston, but come on. I swear the Books just don't know how to make a line on this team. And you can call me a liar, but I really think I have a better feel for this team than Vegas (just jinx myself). Close game, but CoC wins by 5
GL fellas. I have a couple others I was thinking about, Mizzu ST -2, ILL St +8 and of course, Nova +5.5. Hope everyone is out of the snow, and gets their roll on before March is apon us!!!
I just want to say this about the Nova game. For the people who want to say "How will NOva gets boards?" I say, the same way they did last yr. Dante didn't mean that much, yes he got 9rebs last yr, but Nova had the Adv 43-34. The guards on this team come flying in adn especially with the zone, get outside boards on 3pts. This is a totally different Cuse team, but I still think Nova has the tools to win. It will be crazy in the Dome, but thats nothing new for these Cats. Remember, 3pts beat a zone. They dropped 100 on them last yr.
