so what is you're record during this run?

sorry i havent been following, amazing!

Don't have it off the top of my head, but I know I was about 8 games under .500 and now I'm 23 over. I think it's around 80-50 or so.

You know how it goes LK -- there will be more of this and more of that before all is said and done.

Great job coin!

Coin,

Why don't you turn pro, you have 5k points?

Hockey33 · 02-18-13, 04:38 PM

NC what do you think of Georgia state -2 @ William And Mary tonight?

Yeah, I need to now that the points are just being flushed.

Wound up playing my two leans -- Bucknell and Rutgers -- but was busy with family stuff and didn't get a chance to post it here so it won't go on my record.

Sorry -- didn't get a chance to see this. Didn't really have an opinion on it; can't get a good read on W&M.

Hey Coin I should have played bushnell, great call! Lots of action today (Tuesday), what say you re UF -5.5 @ Mizzouri? Why is the line so low for UF? Didn't UF beat them by like 25 points back in Gainesville earlier this season?

I lean Mizzou with the points there personally. They're a whole different beast at home (14-0). With that being said, it's always a roll of the dice to fade Florida.

true they much different at home but in all honesty they havnt playd a very tough home schedule either, pressey certainly acts different at home but gotta wonder how much of that is he hasnt faced a lot of really good defenses at home...i just dont trust that kid verse a team that creates as many turnovers as the gators do...really if ya gonna play mizzou might as well play the ml cause fla hasnt won a gm by less than dd and if it w/in the number that means pressey played lights out and mizzou will prob pull it out, i tend to think gators romp them but doubt i get involved, spread just not high enough and think id need 2 to 1 at least to consider mizzou..

yes as nc said not only is mizzou different at home but college hoops 101 says when this happens then you get a short number in the rematch you avoid taking the team that dominated the 1st gm, obviously doesnt always pan out and as i mentioned i have no interest backing mizzou but def a gm to be cautious w he fav...

Tuesday's leans:

Virginia +8
Missouri +5.5
St. Louis -3.5
Loyola Chicago +6

I kind of like Wichita State and North Carolina as well, but I'll probably just pass on those two.

2daBank · 02-19-13, 11:00 AM

home doggies rule the mvc NC...shockers coming off that bs win and sycamores off couple losses i think it gotta be indy st or nothing, dont like that isu beat them in wichita already, if it wasnt for that id love indy st, as is i just kinda like them..

Hockey33 · 02-19-13, 06:16 PM

I see your leans, but What's the plays tonight? What are we committing on?

No coincidences · 02-19-13, 06:53 PM

Missouri +5 (3.3U to win 3)
St. Louis -125 (2.5U to win 2)
Virginia +8.5 (2.2U to win 2)
Indiana +1.5 (1.1U to win 1)

No coincidences · 02-19-13, 07:00 PM

Had to cancel Loyola-Chicago and Seton Hall. Lines move as I went to lock the games in. Still like them, but I have specific numbers in mind and I missed them.

Speedy88 · 02-19-13, 07:04 PM

Missouri is my favorite play today. Lets get it. Good luck with your other plays.

Adding 2 units to both Mizzou and St. Louis.

Don't feel very good about the Missouri bet.

Billikens burying VCU.

Nomadik · 02-19-13, 10:10 PM

I'm on Mizzou +5 10x for game and took FL 2H -1.5 (10x). Mizzou is just too turnover prone. Hopefully it lands on 5.

Really tempted to buy out of some of this.

Had an opportunity; when I posted this, Florida was -4 live. That window quickly closed.

Shark · 02-19-13, 10:35 PM

just doesnt seem like they have enough to get it close. Florida is just damn good in all areas. I hadnt seen Mizzou play this year and now I know what you and banker mean when you say pressey is a walking turnover, my god..

Florida's damn good.

If I had to pick a Final Four right now, I'd choose from a pool of six: Florida, Miami, Indiana, Michigan State, Butler and Kansas.

Shark · 02-19-13, 10:41 PM

you think kansas as turned a corner? I see they are dogged at ok st tomorrow. What are your thoughts there? I agree with all of those teams you listed for final 4 possibilities. I'm not sure I agree with Kansas, but couldn't tell you who I would like in their place. Maybe Louisville..

I think they have the guards, the wings and the post to get it done.

McLemore's cold-blooded. They could go on a serious run. I just can't get that TCU performance out of my head, though. And I don't think much of Self as a tourney coach.

Another opportunity to buy out; Florida -4.5 live.

Virginia and St. Louis cash, as do Wichita and North Carolina (didn't play those two). Loyola couldn't quite make it. Just need Mizzou to somehow stay within the 5 for another big day of leans and plays.

Still 4.5 live.

Nomadik · 02-19-13, 10:57 PM

Very good chance this game could land of 5.

Nomadik · 02-19-13, 11:10 PM

I called the upset too, but I hedged. #fml 4-1 +25u instead of 5-0 +35u!

No coincidences · 02-19-13, 11:10 PM

6-0, +14U today with Fresno pending.

225-196, -7.84U thread

What a comeback by Mizzou. Wow.

Actually 5-1 on day. Didn't count Mizzou. Way to stick to you guns NoCoin.
