Post your 2 best basketball plays each day, NBA and CBB full-game Sides & Totals allowed only, no halves. Same game Side/Total parlays are ok.

All parlays will be graded as 10.00 to win 26.00, and I will do the standings for the month of February at least.

The Catch: You must have SOME ANALYSIS for each play. Only needs to be one sentence, no big deal, although full paragraphs are ok too. Plays submitted with no analysis will NOT COUNT toward standings.

It seems that day off I took on Thursday did me good as I came back strong yesterday. Jay Edgar won also to catapult to the top of the pack.

Texas +1.5- Again, I'm biased but Texas is playing their best basketball of the season (WITHOUT Durant going for 30 every night). The freshmen have developed a nice chemistry and I think this group of freshmen is EXACTLY what UT needs in this situation. They are fearless, brash, even a little arrogant as a unit. I think it's too easy to dismiss Texas as being a young team that won't be able to handle the pressure on the road. I'd rather have four fearless freshmen and one soph, than 3 seniors who are stressing about winding down their seasons/careers. I look for OU to jump out to a decent lead (6-8 points) then just get hammered. Augustin will be the key, and once again, if Abrams can hit those open shots, this Texas team will be a force. I'm saying Texas by 8-9. something like 75-66. Again, these freshmen are fearless and arrogant. I don't think they will be too phased by Norman, Oklahoma. With a trip to Kansas and home game vs. A&M, this game becomes much more important.

Virginia -2.5- Considering there's a whole thread about this, I won't go into much detail. Basically, Ga. Tech sucks on the road. (This does feel like a trap though). I would imagine this tips off at -4 or so, and I don't like the heavy favoritism in most cases, but this one looks good.

San Diego St. -2: Had my eye on this game for the last couple of days. While both teams have something to play for, this game is much more important for the Aztecs. BYU is playing for seeding in the big dance as well as the regular season conference championship, while SDSU needs this game to have a legitimate shot at an at-large bid. The Aztecs have been dominant on their home court of late, with blowout wins against Air Force and UNLV. I'll take the homecourt and the team that desperately needs a win.

BC -5: Both teams are playing poorly, but I like BC to get back on track against a Clemson team that likely had their bubble burst the other night at home against Duke. BC is the superior team, and I can't see the Tigers coming motivated to play after basically letting their tourney chances slip away with a pathetic first half vs. Duke. I like the Eagles by double digits in this one.

OKLAHOMA STATE +6.5: Both of these teams are coming off of blowout losses, but remarkably Oklahoma State could still make a run at an NCAA Tournament bid despite how poorly it has played lately. The Cowboys are still 19-8 on the season, and they could help their chances immensely with a strong finish to the regular season and a win or two in the Big 12 Tournament. On the other hand Texas Tech may not be as motivated here, as at 17-11 it now appears that the Red Raiders are NIT bound unless they win the conference tournament. Finally the road team is now 9-4 ATS in the last 13 head-to-head meetings between these clubs.

RICHMOND +8: Richmond may be just 6-20 SU this season compared to 17-10 SU for St. Joseph’s, but the Hawks are just 4-9-1 ATS on the road this season, making this price a bit steep. After all, St. Joe’s is only outscoring its road opponents by a scant average of just +0.3 points per game. Also, as poorly as the Spiders have played, their average home losing margin of -5.9 points is also inside this big spread. Finally Richmond has revenge on its mind after getting embarrassed 70-39 by the Hawks last year.

San Diego State -2.5
San Diego State are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall.

Austin Peay -12.5
Morehead State are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 vs. Ohio Valley.
Austin Peay are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 home games.

[Wassymac]

T. Tech -6.5 - Revenge for T. Tech (93-91 OT Loss) against an Cowboy squad that has completely fallen apart. The A&M game to me was OSU last chance to show up and now have nothing to shoot for besides the conference tourney. They couldn't beat my intramural squad on the road and don't seem them competing against a hungry Red Raider team coming off an ugly loss @ Texas. Its more points to lay than I like but considering OSU has played 5 road games all season and did not come within this number once makes it a valuable play.

SDST -2 - Last chance for SDST to get one last marquee W. They'll likely need to win their Conference tourney to get in the dance but a win here gives them 3 against top 20 (ish) RPI teams. They dominated the last two Mountain West leaders @ home and will make it a trio today.

finally got another win last night, i'll stick with the nba for today

Golden St. Warriors +5: This line looks a couple points too high to me. Despite having similar records, the Clippers are a team that appears to have given up on the season, whereas Golden St is hoping to make a push for the 8th spot in the playoffs. The Clippers have lost 4 in row SU and ATS. Normally I'd look for a good effort to end such a streak, but with the all star break in the middle I think it's likely that LA comes out flat here again. The Clippers also will be without Chris Kayman (flu) and Sam Cassell and Cutino Mobley are both questionable.

Charlotte Bobcats +3: Both these teams played and won easily last night, but Toronto had to travel to Charlotte after their game. Toronto has been one of the hottest teams in the NBA recently, going 8-2 SU and 8-1-1 ATS their last 10 and 16-7 SU since Bosh returned at the beginning of the year. However, the Raptors are in a tough spot here going up against an improving Charlotte team that has won 4 in a row. The young Bobcats have been inconsistent all season, but should give a good effort tonight as they try to win 5 games in a row for the first time in franchise history.
