Wisconsin looking solid.

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 03:35 PM

So far 2-0 with and will be 3-0 with wisconsin. Looks like sundays are really good for me.

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 03:37 PM

setan hall/St Johns over 66.5 1st half

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 03:48 PM

wisconsin under 68.5 for the 2nd half

BiffTFinancial · 02-22-09, 03:54 PM

hoop, good call on Ill/OSU 1H over - cashed on that. should've followed on Wisc 1H, but as bill raftery would say, no onions.

nice call on nova/cuse over, laker_crazy. wish i hadn't let the fact that most of sbr was so pro-cuse sway me to no-play nova. nova is incredibly underrated for how good their numbers are at this point in season. bigger names in big east still leaving nova some value.

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 03:57 PM

biff, what do you think of Wisconsin/mich st under 68.5 2nd half

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 03:57 PM

Now the spread is 69.5. I took the under

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 03:59 PM

Mich/Iowa under 54.5 1st half

ManBearPig · 02-22-09, 04:37 PM

Wisky under looking solid 22pts with just under 8min left.

crap - sorry, went back outside. i hope you took it. that one definitely looks good. nobody takes the air outta the ball like wisconsin on the road with a lead.

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 04:41 PM

biff,
I like new orleans +4 (-115) at Lousiana Lafayette. I also like Arizona +4 1st half.

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 04:46 PM

Lets go mich st. just win the game. No OT please

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 04:50 PM

52-47 mich st and looks like they will cover 2nd half spread.

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 04:52 PM

With wisconsin staying under 68.5 2nd half, I will be 4-0 today with halftime picks

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 04:58 PM

I am 4-1 today. I liked net profits play of mich/iowa under 54.5. From now I will stick with my own plays.

ManBearPig · 02-22-09, 04:59 PM

...and Wisky managed to blow the cover as well.

BiffTFinancial · 02-22-09, 05:07 PM

wisky gave up a 20-5 run to close the game. this really is not a vintage bo ryan team. like cuse, gtown, and ucla, wisky's name is worth more than their play over past month.

like AZ +4 1H a lot, although i don't think that AZ plus the points are a good play for the game.

nice work on your 4-0 sunday thusfar, hoop. myself 2-0 today after backing off nova at last minute [OSU/Ill 1H over, WVU -10] and AZ 1H is my final play right now, but will run numbers on La-Laf/NO and see how that looks.

BiffTFinancial · 02-22-09, 05:35 PM

i forecast the NO/ULL game at ULL, 62-56. i like both NO 1H +4 and 1H under 62. ULL has played some decent 1Hs in-conference, and NO has had some pretty crappy 1Hs in-conf, but I note that NO has performed very well 1H vs ULL in the past. obviously, you favor the points over the under, but what do you think of the 1H under? am going to think this one over, but I see merit in both options.

suckatmyjob · 02-22-09, 05:49 PM

this michigan iowa 2nd half might be some good plays

Unfortunately, i haven't been watching that game, so don't have a good read on it. your take is more informed than mine, so best for me not to sway you one way or other. that said, looking at box score, i can see which Mich 2H seems attractive. Iowa not deep and won't continue this 3-point shooting pace, while Michigan is more likely to put up good 3-point shooting numbers in 2H. If Iowa had any important foul trouble, Mich 2H would look even better. How that game made it over 1H with 0 FTs is beyond me [other than the preternatural combined 13-28 3-point shooting].

suckatmyjob · 02-22-09, 06:14 PM

yea that was crazy havent seen Iowa shoot like that

yea i was leaning at Michigan and St. john for 2nd half plays

hoop guru · 02-22-09, 06:18 PM

3 more plays tonite
northwestern +3.5
new orleans +4
arizona +4.5

last time i recall Iowa shooting like that, it was Luke Recker.

did you take both? BOL if you did. Mich started slow, but now back even. like the Johnnies in this spot given history this season vs Big East also-rans at home.

BOL, hoop. i like all 3 [NW is solid call - that game could easily be 22-22 at half], but i think i'm going to stand pat with AZ 1H for tonight. sending a big stake to the islands first thing tomorrow, so keeping my powder dry with guaranteed profit at 2-0 today with AZ to go, and unit size is going to increase significantly tomorrow. knock on wood, that's when the real moneymakin starts.

went 13-3 while in south beach last feb, hoping to duplicate next 3 days. and when i'm out tonight, i truly plan to find out where BC team went out friday night before that horrendous 1H performance in Coral Gables Saturday. thing is, even if they did go out in SB, everyone here only cares about pro athletes anyway. they'll be able to tell me where pistons will be tonight, but no interest in BC on friday.

biff,
I am 21-3 on sunday postings. Middle of the week I am getting shelled.

suckatmyjob · 02-22-09, 07:01 PM

that's b/c you are so pious.

i've been doing well during week, but poorly on saturdays until yesterday [5-2-1]. i'm coming to a realization that i want to avoid a loss about twice as much as i want to tally a W. since sunday night return from windsor and collaboration on USC/ASU 1H under, i'm 21-12-3 [3 pushes - wtf?], but went 4-4 Wed and 2-3-1 Thurs when I made most picks. remove those days, and it's 15-5-2. gave back less than 10 units Wed/Thurs, but that kept good week from being great week. if nothing else, i just don't like taking 7 of 12 losses those 2 consec days.

i think that, going into any given night, i will "reserve" a given number of units for plays named during night [eg, your 2H plays]. if i have cashed a W or 2, ala machine, maybe i ratchet up available units for plays during night. still evaluating long-term strategy, but i just hate losing anything. no matter what, plan to hit tomorrow very focused. BOL wit NO and NW, going out to dinner, back to watch AZ.

sorry to hear that, pal. was really rooting for you, and as OSU fan, i never root for Mich. OT f'ed you in that one. would love to know how many times Iowa has hit 9 3s in a game this decade.
