    Tower's Hoops

    I haven't started a thread this year yet to keep track of my picks and have been barely treading water, so I figured it's time to shake things up and get the good vibes flowing.

    Any input or feedback is appreciated!


    1/28

    St. John's +18
    Villanova +3.5
    Texas +7.5
    West Virginia +9

    I like Baylor to cover against Texas. Earlier, I read on www.thespread.com, that WV has only beaten SU once and covered twice in the last 8 years. My morning paper had that line at 12.5.

    With Fab Melo still out the 'Cuse have looked like a different team. They lost to a very average ND team and I thought they struggled against Cincy. And with Melo out Jones should be a force on the inside. I definitely think WV is the pick, but we shall see...

    Should have won the Villanova bet, that was one hell of a half by Marquette and that technical really changed the game. The WV 'Cuse game went as I thought, Jones was a beast and with no Melo Syracuse couldn't grab a rebound to save their life. Anyway off to a good start.

    5-3 Yesterday. I really didn't like how Villanova blew that game and lost by half a point... oh well on to today.

    Nice backdoor cover to start 3-1 on the day, it feels good to be on the right side of one of those once. That puts me at 8-4 on my posted plays. Not sure what else I like the rest of the day. Maybe I'll just lay low and enjoy a beer to celebrate a profitable day!

    Good start, I like how the other 2 games are shaping up so far.... GT has been missing some wide open opportunities. Hopefully they'll start cashing in, and Virginia is hanging tough in Tallahassee.

    Not looking good in any the others. UVA GT and Wisconsin can't hit a three to save their life.

    PSU +6
