Here's my reasoning and check the back records and see if I'm off. In the NCAAs you have to have post players who can score, a pg to control the game, and defense who can get stops. In these big open arenas, jump shooting is difficult because the backdrop is not what the players are used to. Marquette, Louisville, IU, etc all have those three things that will make them lethal.

Agree. Try to find the most balanced teams -- ranking in the Top-20 both offensively and defensively if possible -- to make deep runs. I like to back the better rebounding teams as well. And of course, the more senior leadership you have, the better.

For tonight:

DePaul +3.5 (2.2U to win 2)

Still looking at Wright, South Florida and North Dakota State, hockey.

North Dakota State +1 (3.45U to win 3)

Hockey33 · 03-12-13, 05:52 PM

North Dakota state is now -1, is that still worth taking?

Mount St. Mary's +3.5 (1.1U to win 1)
South Florida -120 (1.2U to win 1)

North Dakota State 2H -1 (2.2U to win 2)

Man I'm on the Bison to but this game isn't looking great SDSU is missing wide open 3s which doesn't usually happen or this could have gotten out of hand. The role players besides Braun really need to step up for NDSU to pull out the victory.

Valpo -4 live (1.15U to win 1)

hondo5 · 03-12-13, 09:32 PM

With you on Depaul and USF. Hopefully Depaul can come thru for us since USF decided to play the shiitiest final 5 minutes of hoops I think I've ever seen.

No coincidences · 03-12-13, 09:45 PM

Someone needs to explain the ND State line to me. Thanks.

hondo5 · 03-12-13, 09:50 PM

Fuk man. Im going to start calling it the NoCoin curse. Now Depaul starting to look shaky.

No coincidences · 03-12-13, 09:55 PM

Getting absolutely destroyed today.

hondo5 · 03-12-13, 09:58 PM

Rutgers scoring basically everytime they touch the ball. Bigs are shooting 100%. Insane.

Providence +4 (5.5U to win 5)

If this doesn't hit, I might have to take a self-imposed break and regroup.

Hockey33 · 03-13-13, 11:20 AM

What's your other plays today NC?

If Providence doesn't get their heads out of their asses, I doubt anything.

Providence +11.5 live (3.3U to win 3)

Speedy88 · 03-13-13, 11:35 AM

Good luck today. Got a bad number on Providence at +3. Also on the 1H Under. Kind of hoping Prov stinks it up to help my under in the 1H and turns it on in the 2H.

Speedy88 · 03-13-13, 11:38 AM

Wow Providence getting ran out the building. They are playing a horrible game. Rushing everything on offense.

Unreal.

Thoughts on today? I'm king of having trouble adjusting to the neutral court thing. Leaning Arizona St, Oregon St, and possibly St John's.

No coincidences · 03-13-13, 06:03 PM

St. John's +5 (3.45U to win 3)
St. John's/Nova over 56.5 1H (2.2U to win 2)

Marshall +3 (2.12U to win 2)

Speedy88 · 03-13-13, 07:10 PM

Like the Rutgers play. ND is trash in March.

Speedy88 · 03-13-13, 08:14 PM

Wow dogs stinking it up at the Garden today. Took SJ +5, can't believe how bad they look at times. I guess that's what you get with a young team late in the year.
