Wichita State's OU line in their game versus Buffalo was 123.5... and the game ended up going OVER by 33.5

Damn Repski.......I can't tell you how many times I've tailed you because of these great writeups.....and unfortunately I lose every single one of them. Do you usually have a pretty decent record? Maybe your record would be better if I would stop tailing you...

[chrisharvard01]

SUNS take 1H

[Jimbo42]

Pistons look like a good play tomorrow boys...

[TheLemonDropKid]

2 plays booked

under port/phili 191 X5(this ones goin way way way way under)!!!
port -8 X2

going heavy on these two plays only

GL

I rode with you on this one Shoe.......I hope I don't have the same effect on you as I do on Repski.....lol.....but of course I look at the 1st Q and these guys have scored 57 points?????????? Still plenty of time though. Hopefully somebody puts some lids on these baskets.

[FreeMason]

Anyone else like St. Mary's tonight? A very good home team, long flight for Davidson in a game I can't see this team really wanting to play. Curry would rather be in the big-dance, and Mills likewise for the home team. Two stars, but I think St. Mary's is a solid team who should have been in the tourney, while Davidson clearly shouldn't, losing to alot of poor teams this season. Again, two outstanding individuals but St. Mary's is the better team, on it's homecourt. I don't think 4 points is alot to ask.

Bought a point to -4.

I'm hoping the lines are in portland's FAVOR for the 3q or the 2H.

[chrisharvard01]

st marys 1h -2.5

[repski]

very weak 1st half for Portland

they don't match up well with the Sixers...

[anthonydiamondLC]

wow Nuggets down 3 at half! I'll take that with how bad they played...sick shot to end the half!!!

[Dexter]

friggin celts couldnt hold onto a 21pt lead with 5 minutes left i see...

[cocknocker]

The Suns launched missles and grenades at the Nuggets yet they are still standing and only down by 3 at the break. anthonydiamond, I think that a Denver 2nd half play is in order. They are in it and they aren't even playing up to their potential.

Denver+1 2nd half

[rowdy08]

No sh*t. I'm going small with Den in the 3Q +.5.

[Jimbo42]

No sh*t. I'm going small with Den in the 3Q +.5.

Careful careful with that 3rd qtr nuggets...halftime play may be allright but the nuggs are rough in the 3rd... but good luck to you rowdy. I'm always rooting for the Nuggets!

[rowdy08]

For fun Portland scores first in the 3rd. +135

Noticed your in Denver?? Got a good buddy up there from Hawaii who just loves boarding and surfing the river. I'm hoping to be living up there within the next 2 years so I can go skiing more than 3 times a season.

Honestly Lem....I've almost doubled my bankroll in the last 2 months....but I don't post every pick.

Allow me to add a sentence to this: "Unless the Nuggets are playing the Suns in the third qtr"

[indeed]

Suns are giving in as expected. Wow. I just was off tonight!

[repski]

Born in Austin, Tx and live in Dallas. When I go skiing it's always somewhere in CO. Love the the state, hell I love to ski. I've done the water thing and still do the water thing but when it's winter down here there ain't sh*t too do.

[Dexter]

oh man, just give me either port or phx to cover....0-4 would not be a good way to start off the week. i'll take 1-3 into my only play on the spurs tomorrow.

[Odraca]

have some faith this is a tired philly team at the 2nd best home teams court in 4th qtr, im really hoping they cover and the under hits, but that might be too much to ask for..

I've heard!! Too bad I'm getting married 4-11-09 and the honeymoon will be in the tropics !!! I was pushing for CO or Banff, but since we've already been up there twice this season she wanted to go to the beach.

Right there with you . . . Suns still have a good shot .. not sure about the Blazers, though.

Don't care if you bet on this WBC game or not, but this has been a GREAT contest. Took Japan on the ML, but I'd be enjoying this either way.
