    i didn't play any of the college games, but it looks like duke gave up 5 minutes into the second half. i guess they don't wanna dance after all.

    once again, good luck everyone.
    ok, so aside from the memphis loss and how much emotional damage it's done to me, tonight's been pretty good. in addition to this i took

    memphis/missouri under 78 2nd half L
    duke/villanova over 75.5 2nnd half W

    4-2-1...not bad.

    goddamn i wish memphis hadn't have lost that goddamn game...

    I wish they could have pulled it out too. I had Memphis winning the entire tourney in my bracket.

    tex, you think Tyreke is one and done?

    kiss him goodbye, kid. cal pushes those type of players out the door.

    there's a story that's gone around about how he tore up dajuan wagner's sophomore scholarship papers up in front of him as a symbol of how he should go to the league.

    evans shouldn't go yet, i don't think, but he's gone.

    Dajuan Wagner. What happened to that guy? He disappeared pretty quickly...

    Another year for a lot of freshmen wouldn't do any harm. Look at how Harden turned out. His stock definitely improved over the last year.

    there's also the quote that should go down in history as the benchmark for how coaches should handle players like that.

    cal was quoted as saying, after asked whether or not derrick rose should go to the nba, that he told derrick, 'If you want to do what's best for you, declare yourself eligible. If you want to do what's best for me and my family, stay another year."

    personally i like that he's that way with his kids. he recruits all these studs with the promise that they will be nba prospects, and he doesn't try to back out of the deal.

    wagner got drafted by the cavs, got hurt, and never was able to come out of it.

    penny hardaway still holds the record for "most successful" tiger in the nba. he's from memphis too, went to melrose, i think.

    derrick rose is closing in on him, but he's not from memphis like penny was, so it's not quite the same.

    Won with the Lakers and 2H OVER in Memphis/Missouri. Lost with the 2H OVER in the Heat/Bulls game.

    Tried taking more days off but I couldn't when I saw the Minnesota line yesterday. I threw a little bit on the ML but it didn't pay off. Took the spread for double and also won with the UNDER in Boston/Orlando.

    Going to limit myself to a couple plays a day. Thanks for checking in, shoe. Hope you've been doing well.

    its alright to lose, but the way they did it.

    their team is history.


    texhooper, where will john wall play? he is a high school kid?
    dont think he can play like that at college level where defense is stiff

    I'm pretty excited for baseball season too. I think I might try something new this year so we'll see. Good luck to you the rest of the season.

    Yeah, just trying to limit myself and not overdo it on nights where nothing is going right.

    Didn't know Wagner's dad played for Louisville? Did he play in the pros?

    nba heo, he's the number one recruit in the country. he's verbally committed to memphis but he hasn't signed anything yet. he still says memphis is in the lead, but he's going to continue his visits with all the schools that have courted him.

    memphis already has xavier henry and has a verbal commitment from the number 2 guy, i don't remember who he is. just check rivals; memphis has far and away the best class for next year.

    i think he did, not 100% sure, but his dad coached under cal, which is probably why his son went to memphis in the first place. cal ain't got no ends to his connections...and everyone hates him. i can't think of his name, but i know he played for louisville and ended up coaching at memphis under cal.

    **** i can't believe we lost tonight...****

    Dajuan Marquett Wagner (born on February 4, 1983 in Camden, New Jersey) is an American professional basketball player, currently playing for Polish champions Prokom Trefl Sopot.
    Wagner is the son of former University of Louisville and NBA player Milt Wagner.[1] Forced out of the league by debilitating health problems early into his career, he is currently making a professional comeback after undergoing major surgery to remove his colon.
