    I am watching the Goergia tech/Florida st game and I am amazed at the lack of foul calls in the 2nd half Georgia tech is fouling like crazy and no foul calls at all. I believe that the refs are controlling the tempo of this game. Refs are trying to keep the 2nd half from going over.

        This was the worst officiating game I have seen in a while. Refs are letting GT win this game. I call this the fix of the day,

          hoop, how confident are you in Temple 1H +2.5? Temple is good 1H team, and Xavier is more 2H team. both teams covered their 1H yesterday.

              i think that Friday of Championship Week is always hardest day of season to cap, and this is the toughest week. no reason to allow that to affect your confidence - maybe wager size, but not confidence.

                  there is always some danger in playing any under on an ESPN game, so i thought a lot about this one. Louisville's zone should give Nova some problems and slow down the pace, and i don't think that their press will give Nova too much trouble given Nova's strong guard play [and Nova hasn't exceed their average in TOs much in last 2 meetings]. think Pitino really wants the BE title, and if I'm him, getting into a running game with Nova seems like a terrible idea in the middle of this 3-games-3-days stretch. Louisville tries to slow pace on the road, and i think that they will do so again here. my biggest concern is FTs and high-scoring tendency of ESPN games, and that's why i played 1H under instead of game under.

                      also on Mich 1H +1 and Temple 1H +2.5, both small. Nova/Louisville 1H under 65, BYU -2, Mich +2.5 my biggest outstanding plays right now.

                      although it's not a 1H play, like BYU -2 a lot [don't understand rationale that they lost last 2 conf final games, so should lose this one too; if anything, i think that makes them more likely to be focused to get over the hump].

                      considering Maryland/Wake 1H under 69. any thoughts? similar to Louisville, i think that MD's best strategy is to slow the pace against Wake, and Vazquez is good enough to keep Teague in front of him on defense and control the game on offense. if this game's in the mid-70s or higher, MD will be in trouble. like the 1H under better than game, though, given that MD might over-foul in 2H in elimination game.

                      also like Baylor 1H +2 and game +4 a bit. Texas is garbage.

                          Biff,

                          Really like Michigan +1 in the 1st and +2 for the game. BYU is one of my top picks... already booked it... BYU -2 looks good.. The Baylor game scares me the most of the ones you posted, who knows which Baylor team will show up. Actually I'm going with the Nova/Louisville over for the game... but i dont know about the half bet...the shooting % in their first matchup were awful. Good luck tonight!

                            eatdust, thanks, BOL to you too. glad i played Baylor small for game and that's it. Texas is capable of blowing any lead and winning by 2. we pushed on Mich 1H, but i like them to win outright, and i'm no Michigan fan. just played Templed 2H +3.5 small. Temple's a tough team.

                            pace was good for both 1H unders early, but no longer. why is Pitino playing man? didn't he read my post?

                                  i know. that's why espn games scare me. guys love standing on the FT line in the garden. phew. that was closer than it should've been, as was MD/Wake.

                                  Greivis Vazquez is going to be a 10-year player. In Italy. Chas McFarland is the white Bill Cartwright.

                                          unfortunately, i have both Nova/Lville and MD/Wake game unders. if i didn't, i'd probably consider both 2H overs. Nova 74, Wake 78.5. i like Wake better, probably, but you could definitely justify either play, esp with the number of foul calls in the 1H. that's why i wish i'd play less game unders, b/c it's nice to be able to see how the game is being officiated.

                                          also, if you're considering sides, i don't think i'd want Maryland. they could get run off of the court. not sure i'd want Louisville either, they seem out of sorts. also, i think Nova's a great team and i don't think i'd want to give a team that good 2H pts on a neutral floor when they're playing so well.

                                            i feel as if i'd just rather put more on BYU. that's probably a terrible sign.

                                            i don't like Texas, but what i failed to appreciate earlier is that Baylor is sort of garbage themselves. i think that the best 2H play is MD/Wake over 78, but i stupidly have game under small. think i'd rather find something for later games, though i think that 2H bets are the truth. Marquette 2H vs Nova yesterday was easiest money ever.

                                                    on 'em. thanks, hoop. like both of those. need BYU to pull themselves together to continue solid day.

                                                    any thoughts on ASU/UW 2H over? should be around 75.

                                                    also like USC/UCLA 1H over 62 a little bit, but seems like i can't hit a 1H over, so i stick to 1H unders.
