2012-13 NCAA hoop picks

[No coincidences]

UCLA should just hand Howland his pink slip as he's walking off the court. What an embarrassment.

12-9, -1.45U NCAA Tourney
326-296, -40.51U thread

First two days kind of a microcosm of this thread -- winning more than I'm losing record-wise, but not making the right wager sizes on the right games.

[No coincidences]

Michigan -170 (10.2U to win 6)
Michigan -3.5 (2.2U to win 2)

[No coincidences]

If I can get a better number on Michigan tomorrow, I'll add to that bet.

As it stands, that's all I'm putting on them. I have a great deal of respect for VCU and think Smart is one of the best young coaches in the game, but Michigan has a vastly superior offense and they don't make the kind of mistakes VCU thrives on. I think this is a terrible matchup for VCU.

This is one of the biggest coaching mismatches in the tournament, true, but Memphis still has a ton of talent and I'm not completely bullish on MSU just yet. Think 6 is an awful lot to be giving in this spot.

Good luck today HW.

kinda surprised you going against izzo so early (with mem dumb asses no less)..i kinda think zags being little disrespected around the forums (clearly not by linesmakers), id lean to taking them but not sure bout laying those points..havnt looked at cal/cuse real closely,advanced cuse in my bracket w/o much thought cause wasnt sure cal had the shooters but i wil look closer...figured you would have grabbed mich already? either gonna be slu or nothing for me,,really looks like a chalky day, guess cant have bunch of fat ml winners everyday ....gl NC

Yeah 6 could be too many with some of the problems state has at line at end of games. Of course Memphis is a horrible FT shooting team. I really don't think State is going to struggle here at all and should dominate the interior on both sides. Memphis going to have to get hotfrom 3 to give them a run I think. I ended up just Parlaying MICH and MSU for about +120 so I am good with that in this game. Also on Mich - 3 and Mich/Bama Parlay. If Mich loses it will be a shitty start to day for me.

Wow I'm so happy to see this.

Good luck buddy I'am with ya on Mich. Got them on a reverse with the over in the same game.

These 4 picks are perfect, IMO.
I like Louisville to win all, but not today, they will grind little by little until the last.

[Speedy88]

Is it me or should Michigan be up 10+? They've missed all kinds of wide open 3's and layups.

That's more like it. Up 27. Wouldn't surprise me if Michigan won it all this year, they have that much talent. Probably the only team in this tourney with three legit first round NBA players.

I was leaning Marqutte, probably just be a no play for me.

Don't think I can take Memphis. Every shop just moved up to 6, and Michigan St always plays their best ball in March. Seems like everyone is on Memphis, they are today's "trendy dog," kind of like Nova yesterday. Hope it hits for you NC.

Go get yourself some Cal Bears. Cuse being a 7pt fave is insane. Everyone hopping back on the bandwagon after they beat up Montana. Cal playing about 40 minutes from their campus, Cuse coming all the way out West. Crabbe will be the best player on the court tonight.

He's chasing his VCU loss with Marquette. Can't wait for his third play to pop up once he has to chase both VCU and Marquette.

do you seriously make your wagers by fading someone else? wow...

[Speedy88]

No i do not. I never tail or fade someone blindly. Not my style. However, when I saw this guy on VCU and I'm on Michigan, I did add to my play. I was leaning Marquette, and now I'm most likely going to lay off. I don't know McWinsey's record, but he is the only poster on here that is worth paying attention too. I know of the Brock Landers and the Bradley Snyders, but this guy is on an entirely different level. I don't think I've ever seen him win a play.....dead serious.

[Ralphie1412]

goldengreek gtfo out of this thread you hack. You're just as big a fade if not more than LolMc

Dumbest thing ever. You essentially added to your play because you think that someone is a retard (not to mention they have zero impact on the outcome). All this fading Landers and this guy and that guy. Bunch of dumbasses.

Exactly

Spartans limp into halftime only up 3. Someone other than Harris needs to step up offensively. Appling and Dawson continue to give them nothing. Trice is in over his head with Memphis' physical guards.

Your entitled to your opinion, that's fine.

I can't get behind cal, I'm not a big believer in cuse but think u gotta have shooters to beat them and cal one of worst 3 point shooting teams in the country.. Seriously just didnt see value in dogs today.. Hope u cash tho brother

Banker have you looked at tomorrow's lines? If so, thoughts on tomorrow. Leaning Miami, Iowa St, UNC, and maybe Florida. Wouldn't surprise me if UNC upset Kansas tomorrow. Also wouldn't be surprised if Iowa St took out Ohio St. Not sure if I can lay money on Iowa St, that team is too unpredictable for me.

Colorado State +11.5 (4.6U to win 4)
