    Contrarian Radar

    Good afternoon contrarians. We are looking at two b-ball games this evening, starting off with the West Virgininia/Pittsburgh. Pitts, with it's ranking, is sure to get the square money. I have seen Pitt play a few times and they definitely don't get up and into a game against mediocre opponents. Lots of points to lay. Contrarian radar goes on WV.

    Ending the evening, we throw the radar switch on Fresno State. Contrarian indicators are present.

    We will be awaiting line confirmation on both plays as always.

    West Virginia
    Fresno State

    Let's see if we can improve our percentages a tick or two, to get in the 60 handle.

    Stay threaded boys.

    Pair,

    You say Pitt doesn't get up for mediocre opps, which is true...but are you aware that Pitt and WVU are bitter rivals? This is the backyard brawl. This is Huggy versus Dixon.....their recruiting battles alone set the tone for this game.

    I don't think Pitt will have a problem getting up for WVU.

    I am leaning toward WVU not because Pitt is overlooking them (they aren't), but because WVU has played good teams tight on the road.

    Great insight, I was referring mostly to ranking of WV, I stand corrected. In a previous post, you stated that I gave you some guff. I mistakened your wit and humor, for sarcasm. I extend my apologies. Let's talk again.

    Pair,

    No problems whatsoever. I never try to talk anyone into or out of a selection. I do enjoy good debate though.

    I am with you on WVU----best of luck to you!

    West Virginia goes down to defeat with a no cover. The Contrarian play suffered from early foul trouble. Nevertheless, WV goes down.

    We got burned Pair on that WVU game.

    They had the lead late in the first half, and then just started hacking and turning it over. Poor shot selection too....chucking up three's at every chance.

    I only play one game/night, so best of luck to you on the Fresno game. Cash it.
