saturday half plays

i like FSU under 70 1H, what do you think about Tulsa o/u 55 1H biff? line is so low and its making me want to take the over, tulsa has play better as of late and memphis always good at home, plus its a nation-tv game.

SportsChic · 03-14-09, 10:07 AM

I was leaning over as well..anyone playing it?

If i play the Tulsa/Memphis 1H, it'll be the over. problem is, Tulsa's last 3 1Hs at Memphis have all been in the teens [though none were conf title games]. my concern is the potential for a 30-20 half. Tulsa is playing better, but Memphis is so dominant and home and trying to prove they deserve a #1 seed. this one honestly scares me, but the 1H over is the best of the available 1H sides as i see it.

I am leaning Tulsa +8, they played em well 1st game, but got blown out 2nd game. I am thinking they keep 1H close because its all or nothing now

what u think biff

but the memphis killing ppl worries me too!

i thought that i would like it, but Tulsa's been held in the teens last 3 1Hs at Memphis. i think i'm no-playing this game altogether, which is a shame b/c it's on tv and i'm hot. what i may do is wait until halftime, and if the 1H goes over 55, play the 2H under, esp if Memphis has a decent lead. Memphis at home is an under machine, esp in 2Hs. Houston scored 2 pts the first 9:00 of 2H yesterday.

i think that Calipari wants to show that Memphis deserves #1 seed, and best way to do that is to continue to hang 70-45 wins on people.

I made a really small wager Tulsa scores Under 24

now that's an idea with some legs. Legendz doesn't offer that, but i like that better than any of the other 1H options.

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 10:34 AM

Biff check out this play: LSU beat Miss State twice but also twice in the first half. LSU -2 or LSU ML might be the play and the under of 65

ya my book allows for indy team scores but you can only bet em straight up never parlay or anything, its nice because sometimes the points are ridiculous. Like Wake Forest line was 42.5 yesterday 2H

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 10:38 AM

ahh shit: look what ck found out

Tulsa has scored 69 point on average over their last 10 games while giving up 63.5. Memphis, however has been scoring 69 while giving up 49.5. That's 113 combined that they surrender on average. The fact that the adjustment made by the linemaker was so steep has me wanting to go the other way and take the over. An adjustment from 134 on average all the way down to 120. This is the lowest total line for a Memphis game this year.

BiffTFinancial · 03-14-09, 10:59 AM

sprasad, that's absolutely correct. people think of Memphis as an over team b/c of last year maybe but they're not. maybe 1H over b/c they get 40s alot, but 2H they take the air out of the ball and play lockdown defense. i wanted to consider the under b/c Memphis unders have been very good to me, but lines have mostly been in 130s except for Tulane game. this line stunk from the start, esp for conf title game.

lastinline · 03-14-09, 11:11 AM

Like FSU/UNC under 1h

Last year they played in conf tourney and only hit 63 in 1st half and total for game was a couple of points higher than this years'. That was after a high scoring regular season game like they played a couple of weeks ago. Looks like a solid play.

nysmoneyman · 03-14-09, 11:15 AM

just played LSU -1.5 (-115) 1st half

eatdust11 · 03-14-09, 11:23 AM

Biff,

Love the LSU miss st over for the game at 139.5

FSU seems a pretty decent halftime bet at +4.5

BiffTFinancial · 03-14-09, 11:32 AM

also considering:

Maryland 1H +5
Auburn 1H +2
Mich St/Ohio St 1H under 59 [like under for game too]

eatdust, i agree re: FSU+4.5 1H.

Tulsa second half looking good what you think

hard to argue with that. Memphis doesn't look like they're going to blow Tulsa off the court.

SportsChic · 03-14-09, 11:39 AM

Ive decided to take as stab at it guys...tulsa plus the points, esp if memphis rests players at the end...

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 11:42 AM

I think im gonna LSU ML and go heavy .

Also make a side bet it goes under 65

SportsChic · 03-14-09, 11:43 AM

I like that spras...im thinking of going heavy on ML as well...

SportsChic · 03-14-09, 12:12 PM

I changed my mind on Lsu ML..it moved up too much..not worth it....
Any thoughts on Fl state first half guys?

BiffTFinancial · 03-14-09, 12:55 PM

way too many fouls early in FSU/UNC game. they'd better calm down. like the blocked shots and missed dunks, though. Ed Davis went to my high school, so thanks for that, Ed.

any strong opinions on Maryland 1H +5? i think Duke is happy to have any lead at any time right now.

GetItAndGo · 03-14-09, 12:59 PM

LSU OVER 2nd half is the play.. I like Duke -5 more than i like Maryland +5 but the UNDER in that game looks the best

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 01:07 PM

i like maryland +5 as well

agree re: LSU 2H over. good call. already on game over (should've just waited).

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 01:16 PM

Biff what you think of Duke Under 35.5 1H?

dunno, i never really consider teams b/c i don't have the option of playing them. i have them scoring 66 for game, so i'd maybe estimate around 30-32 1H? seems like a good play. i think style of play will be slow. Duke's numbers are still good, but they are a tired team. i think they'd almost be relieved not to have to play tomorrow.

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 01:28 PM

I also got Illinois +2 1H, and maybe Over 54

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 01:34 PM

Ohio State +7.5 2H im on it heavy, i thinkt hey win this game

Rixsaw · 03-14-09, 01:36 PM

delete

sprasad03 · 03-14-09, 01:38 PM

mines got it at 38, not gonna mess with it

Rixsaw · 03-14-09, 01:41 PM

my bad...made a mistake with UNC

SportsChic · 03-14-09, 01:43 PM

i have a strong lean on UNC/Fl state over 76.5 second half..reason being is that they scored 61 in the first half, and just to meet a push on the total for the full game, 88 points would have to be scored...I think thats a pretty big discrepancy...what do you guys think?

SportsChic · 03-14-09, 01:45 PM

damn..couldnt get it in on time

SportsChic · 03-14-09, 01:46 PM

Alright...LETS GO FL STATE AND OHIO STATE
