2014-15 NCAA hoop plays

[2daBank]

It made zero sense that Georgetown would be favored in this matchup. That's why I took them -- because that's the way I bet (and win). Like I said, it works everywhere other than in college hoops, where a Top-10 team can be a dog to an unranked opponent and still win handily. Kansas was never seriously threatened in this game.

im certainly not questioning that what you do works and works well for you my friend.. i dont notice as much cause you know it just isnt the way i approach things. half the time i dont even know if or where a team is even ranked in the polls, i dont give very much thought to percentages of ppl betting outside of being wary of incredibly popular sides, but i know that in the sbr ncaa contest that it was like 9-1 ppl taking gtown and pretty much everyone i saw in forum world was on gtown it seemed..i didnt have a chance to watch, just got home from the union xmas party.

Anyone on San Diego State later or UCLA?

[thetrinity]

northern iowa went 15-17 from the field in the first half, is that some kind of record

there just no way i could lay dd with a sdst team that is so freaking offensively challenged.. i looked hard at lbst but ended up leaving it alone cause aztecs d might be enough to get the cover.. this aint the same old sdst squad ya used to tho and i prefer to fade this group when the opportunity presents itself cause they just dont have that 1 go to scorer they traditionally do to carry a typically woeful offense..

[Scott8282]

Yea agree. Was riding UCLA for a while but they looked pretty poor last game.

Fair enough. More than one way to skin a cat. BOL chief. Hope you're having a profitable night.

bruins outta name the score but i dont like zags being on deck for them..

[Scott8282]

Was thinking hitting the 1st in case they take the foot off the pedal late.

BYU comes back and now it's right on the # at half -- as per usual.

Is your original bet on BYU or the over?

over which is beyond toast, guess the drop didnt create the value i thought, whoops. need little entertainment on 2nd..

Knowing BYU, you're probably going to sweat it out either way. I'll root it in for you.

most likely.. they will prob dig another hole to start 2nd. lol..

They play literally ZERO defense.

How do you give up 14 points in 3 minutes to UTAH?!?!

i wouldnt have thought utah would even attempt to score that many in 3 min. lol.. that was the idea on the over. i guess i fall victim to lines a little bit in my own way. figured mormons being favored meant more likely for them to dictate a pace to their liking.. if i had any sense i woulda just took the total loss like a man and went 2-1 on the night if col st can continue to stay in their gm. not like we didnt see this 2nd half start coming.

Who is BYU's coach?

Do they have a coach?

Do they take 18 foot jump shots every possession...?

[2daBank]

what? you dont like the most inefficient shot in basketball? sometimes they just turn it over! id bench anyone who shot before haus touched it

[No coincidences]

Utah did everything possible to try and lose this game, but BYU just keeps chucking bad shot after bad shot.

[thetrinity]

utah northern iowa and kansas all cover fairly easily

Not surprised unfortunately.

hit the 2 overnight lines i bet, dunno why i didnt sprinkle col st ml and instead got involved in this shitfest.. now im playing late leans pissed off, im sure that will end well (lol)..

[thetrinity]

hope wyoming covers, going to bed, cant take any more for one night

[2daBank]

that one of the 2 gms im on as well.. think they the right side, only reason i initially passed is cause i dont trust them on the road all that much..

[KRIT]

Went to an xmas party and left my phone at home on purpose since I was heavy on BYU. So glad I didn't watch that game. From hearing what ppl are saying in here, sounds like BYU did their typical no defense and take quick bad shots gameplan.

[KRIT]

i asked tommy karate about this and he gave me some numbers but it sure seems like they lose every time to me

I can vouch for tk. I played almost every home fav against a ranked road opponent and they hit at a really good rate. Can't say the same for this year. Only one I can think of this year is ND over Sparty.

[No coincidences]

Irish didn't cover in that game, KRIT.

Nights like tonight make me wonder WTF any of us are doing. A bunch of slam-dunk college basketball games wind up being just that, then of all games, I get a miraculous cover on a 3 at the buzzer from Wyoming.

What a day.

[KRIT]

I forgot ND didn't cover that game. Hard to imagine that these ranked road dogs will keep cashing against unranked home teams. At some point it will even out.

Iowa will probably be a short fave over Cyclones friday. Iowa is like BYU's twin brother. I back both of them way too often and both always bury me. I'll probably be bitching about the Hawkeyes in here two days from now

Half court banked 3 lolololol

[KRIT]

Im seeing an early line of Iowa -5.5 over IowaSt tomorrow.

[No coincidences]

UCLA +6 -105 (5.25U to win 5)
Purdue -150 (4.5U to win 3)

It's just laughable at this point.

[thetrinity]

no stomach for vcu, i think this is a good matchup for them actually, i didnt touch iowa last night either
