hey, i'm envious! BOL today pal.

Arizona 1H play is rare Buckeye fade for me, but it's a horrific spot for them esp off the OT win vs VCU 48 hours ago. some intel off of twitter:

Mike Beall @msuMikeB23 1h1 hour ago
Ohio St is 0-12 1H in March games over the last 2 seasons currently Arizona -5
Ohio St is 3-20 1H vs excellent ball handling teams - committing <=12 turnovers/game after 15+ games over the last 2 seasons
Arizona is 15-3 1H vs good ball handling teams - committing <=14 turnovers/game after 15+ games this season

TA @ClevTA · 2h 2 hours ago
OSU v top 25 kenpom- Lville, UNC, Iowa2x, MSU2x Wisc, trailed by 17,12,12,11,9,14,8 at half. Somehow lost by single digits in 6 of those gms

Naw. My rule is that i never pay for a win, only a push. Pretty pleased with the +100 at 5D, my other out (BetUS) has it -115

[BiffTFinancial]

Thanks for the insight Biff

Hello, Rick! BOL today, my friend.

[BiffTFinancial]

also really like Xavier TT under 68' but went with 1H under, which cannot go over late due to a hail of elimination game free throws.

thanks for the advice!

[eddycash]

gt concerns me, nobody believes in them

[eddycash]

dont like ut martin?

[BiffTFinancial]

thanks for the advice!

well, that's my rule - hardly something to which you have to adhere - but i'm happy with it. i think that it makes sense and i've heard other, smarter guys state that they do something similar.

[BiffTFinancial]

dont like ut martin?

didn't cap that one, BOL if you play them.

biff curious if you have numbers for these totals... zags/iowa, mich st/uva and sdst/duke?

[BiffTFinancial]

biff curious if you have numbers for these totals... zags/iowa, mich st/uva and sdst/duke?

MSU/UVA: 110-113
SDSU/Duke: 131-132
Iowa/Zags: 140-142

[2daBank]

MSU/UVA: 110-113
SDSU/Duke: 131-132
Iowa/Zags: 140-142

i made sdt/duke significantly lower.. think the johnnies gm has given us some value as that total gets bet up.. unlike that gm sdst wont be getting easy put backs and duke wont have to over commit to keeping sdst out of the lane like johnnies did. i think we see a more typical sdst grinder here as their only chance is to hold puke in the mid 60's..

agree that slow is SDSU's preferred pace, but also think that Duke is gonna run as much as possible after seeing Johnnies get up and down the court. i think it's something like 69/68-64/63. want to play SDSU but haven't pulled trigger yet. Duke gives up way too many easy buckets and SDSU defense good enough to get some stops down the stretch, i think.

[2daBank]

if you have time talk to me bout iowa and dayton please.. more so iowa as i understand dayton even tho i think Ou beats them im not playing it.. iowa on the other hand is playing my choice to get to the championship gm, iowa generally has a size adv and here it just isnt so as zags front line is just as big and far more talented imo.

i agree sdst stays in it, i just think it gonna be with defense and i trust fisher made transition d a huge talking point since the johnnies gm.. i was more in line with kp's number on both teams score, sdst right around 60 and duke in the mid 60's.. id expect duke to show some more of that zone they been implementing down the stretch and i dont trust sdst to knock down shots again.. i dont disagree there be some easy baskets but at same time i think both will get less second chance points than they accustomed to as they both reasonably good controlling the defensive glass..

lets talk terps/wvu total (i lean terps as well).. the more the total gets bet down the more appeal the over has to me in this one.. as ctg's resident totals expert and terps fan has pointed out terps gms have had a tendency to be played at the pace the opposition likes, i actually think terps are better suited to get up and down with melo, wells, and layman, they just dont always play that way cause their coach is a defensive minded type cat that prefers to grind it out.. i think they will handle the press and once you break the wvu press yo can attack and get good looks vs them. i think both teams will get their share of put backs on offensive boards and it very likely it plays into the low 140s..

No matter how much you like Sooners, it's a terrible spot. it's a home game for Dayton. Flyers or nothing.

Iowa is looking really good right now and played really well the past month in Big Ten play, seen them play a ton. Granted it was against Davidson, but Aaron White looked like penetrating Jordan at points the other night, love that kid. Seems as if everyone is hitting shots for Iowa, and they get a ton of FT even against teams like Gonzaga that don't foul a lot. looked hard at Iowa TT over too but decided that i'd just back the side.

gimme few minutes to run some numbers on that one, back before too long.

yea im not betting the sooner/flyers gm just have sooners advancing in brackets (this side of the bracket is in much better shape than the other, lol).

far as iowa, i expected white to dominate vs a soft undersized davidson team. i think wiltjer eats him for lunch today.. im not sure about the spread, i just dont see zags losing which makes anything less than tough for me to wanna back the dog..

agree, i think it makes it to 140s. WVU fouls a ton, and the way that the tourney is being officiated, i could see another 2H FT parade here. may be on over, looking more closely now.

awesome.. glad you agree. after having a miserable season total wise they been really good to me in the nit and ncaa tourney's. most have been getting bet the opposite direction (other than johnnies/sdst) just as this one is..
