Lean Providence, Baylor, Xavier, West Virginia and Cal.

What a bizarre day. I played all five (didn't get them posted -- sorry). Providence and Baylor with lucky covers. Xavier loses outright; weirdest line of the slate. Vegas is OK with just handing over free Seton Hall money over and over again.

WVU has a miracle win/finish on the Hield shot. Cal loses on a fluke OT game where they were covering the whole way.

At the end of it all, I was up 88 cents.

Also lean St. Joe, but will probably pass.

I did like this one

Also leaning Davidson, Maryland, Villanova, West Virginia, Virginia and Utah.

RavensFan2k3 · 03-12-16, 01:10 PM

Yay Utah

KRIT · 03-12-16, 02:04 PM

Is Michigan St really 6.5 points better than Maryland on a neutral court?

No coincidences · 03-12-16, 04:32 PM

Maryland 2H +0.5 (-110) (3.3U to win 3)
Davidson live +10.5 (-115) (2.3U to win 2)

There are bad lines, there are stupid lines, and then there are both. An absolute gift to the public from Vegas. Horrible. Just horrible.

ULL was 17-14 overall and 11-16 ATS. ALR was 28-4 and 18-10. ULL was swept by ALR during the regular season. Yet ULL was only +3? WTF?

KRIT · 03-13-16, 01:25 PM

Why is Purdue getting 5? On paper Purdue is the better team but we all know Izzo is going to run circles around Painter.

I think that Colorado call was a sharp one, alot of people were pounding UConn. Hope they hold.

Shark · 03-17-16, 01:22 PM

if only Col could make free throws..

Guess so - UConn -3 was my play of the day...not sure what's going on - looks like Buffs are boarding and have the edge there.

Hope that Buffalo covers that huge spread later.

Maybe UConn wins by 3 or 4 lol.

Let me checkout that Buffalo game

Well, I played it slightly bigger than normal since I chalked up that UConn play as a loss.

My goal is to bet a little larger after a win until I lose...which I rarely win 3 games in a row anyhow.

I wanted to take Shox at +2 and SH at +2...we'll see.
I don't see much value in taking a dog at +1 or +2...might as well buy to +3 or +4 or just take a shot at the ML.

Just realized Buffalo is going against my Canes, no can do buddy lol. Oh and good call on UConn

I understand...well, hope Canes advance (and pretty sure they will), but I like Buffalo to cover the way they've been playing fearlessly.

Any thoughts on Zags - SH?

Nice call on yale.

survive · 03-17-16, 04:44 PM

Nothin better than fading Scott Drew

Haha was just thinking the same. Of course Scott Drew would be the first coached team to get upset.

More great coaching, only this time from Painter and Purdue.

Breadloser · 03-17-16, 07:00 PM

Is Gonzaga getting points for site location? Obviously Seton Hall is a better team, albeit less experienced.

Gonzaga is giving points, game is it Denver right? Why would that favor Gonzaga? Because its closer? Lol nah. Interesting that you say Seton Hall is better though

Well Denver is closer to Seattle than it is to New York City. That wouldn't be an advantage to GU? SHU has one of the best back courts in the nation led by Whitehead who's going to be a first team All American next season.

Yeah its closer, but it's not like it's around the corner. Don't think Gonzaga has an advantage due to location. But I do agree with you that Seton Hall has a fair chance to win this

I can get them at +2 /-105 and SU at +115. Which would you prefer?

Breadloser · 03-17-16, 08:18 PM

Meanwhile Utah looks really strong tonight, and could be a dark horse to advance deep in the tournament. I have to think that for SHU it's one and done at best.
