I am not a parlay guy, but am thinking about making a 4-team ML parlay, and then add a 4th team from tomorrow night. (I like MSU)
Syr, UK, Wva + a game from tomorrow.
* I know people think Cornell has a chance. (I dont). This was a nice story for the first weekend of the tournament, but this is big boy BB this week, and Cornell doesnt have the guns to get it done. Their 3pt shooters are going to be guarded by speed & length. Their inside guys are facing the best front line in college BB.
* I know people think the PG injury is big for Wva & UW is hot. Wva locks you down on defense, and will slice thru this soft interior with Butler & Eubanks for easy looks & dominate the offensive glass. It isnt like Mazilla is a freshman who has never played. He is a much worse FT shooter (55%) than Truck (75%) but in crunch time Butler has the ball in his hands.
* I know people think Sry cant play any better than they did last weekend. You are right. But, the shortfall of Butler that people mentioned in the first round was big inside teams. Syr is big inside & can score the ball from the perimeter. Butler hasnt seen a zone like Syr will play. Butler never gets blown out, but I see Syr winning by double digits here.
Syr ML, UK ML, Wva ML, MSU pays about 3.8 to 1.
Down 5 pts with 40 secs to play. They let Stanford dribble around the perimeter, buring the shot clock, and Stan makes a FG with 2 on shot clock (16 secs in game). Then, Oreg St rushes down the floor, and they miss their 3rd consequtive layup. Then with 8 secs left, down 7 pts, they are chasing around & they foul Stanford?
WTF??? If you didnt foul from the 40 sec mark down to the 16 sec mark, down by 5, why in the hell would you foul with 8 secs left down by 7?
Stupid fucking coach!
