Yesterday 1-3
YTD: 77-78
I’m looking to get back over .500 with six favorites today:
Memphis covers -14 vs Tulsa
LSU covers -3.5 over Mississippi St
Duke covers -9 vs Maryland
Michigan St covers -8 vs Ohio St
Missouri covers -5 vs Baylor
Louisville covers -7 vs Syracuse
I know I’m heavy on the chalk. However, three of the “perceived” #1 seeds before conf tourney play (Pitt, UConn, & Okla) have lost and there are 3 conf tourney #1 seeds in my card that have aspirations of moving up to a #1 so they should be looking to make statements today. I don’t know that all three will do that even with impressive victories today, but it should motivate them today anyway.
How many times have we seen Izzo get the Sparties clicking on all cylinders right at post season time? I see it happening again this season. Ohio St is too dependent on one player and I’m betting Izzo can figure out a way to use his personnel to neutralize him.
Louisville and Memphis both appear to be playing their best ball of the season right now too. Everyone was expecting the Orange to run out of gas last night-why not bet that this happens today instead after another OT game?
Of the three above, Memphis probably has the best chance to crack into a #1 seed. They don’t have the SOS, but they likely never will as long as they’re in CUSA. Their only chance is to hang an impressive victory over whoever is available like they did against Houston yesterday. They’ve recently come out flat before beating Tulane. I don’t see this happening again anytime soon.
LSU is the class of the SEC, so I have no problem laying the short line against a team playing for the third day in a row.
I’m looking for a letdown from the Terps after the SU dog win. I wasn’t too crazy about laying 9, but Duke is a top 10 team and they’ve handled the Terps pretty easily in two prior meetings-DD win at Md, 40+’ win at Durham.
Baylor is coming off of 3 SU dog wins and Mizzou has covered their last two against dogs coming off of SU dog wins. They’re scoring >80ppg and should have plenty in the tank to run with the Bears and then some. Also, the Tigers have shown the past couple of games they can finish strong and get a cover in case the upstart Bears are still hanging with them in the second half.
That’s a rare write-up of picks from me. I sure can't justify my picks with my YTD w/l% so I guess I need to do it by some other means, lol.
Good luck to everyone this March.
