Couldn't believe AM was dogs to them, don't care where it was being played.

Agreed! Nice hit buddy.

[GPrime19]

Wazzou outright.. really passed the eye-test for me this weekend, definitely looked like a solid team.

10-2 (+7.10)

A good weekend!

Kicking myself for not playing the wazzu ml. Agree I thought they have the look of a tourney team. Very surprised to see kenpom has them at 174! Only rankings I truely respect are his (like us he has Texas AM ranked considerably better than USC)... st Mary's really hurt their NCAA tourney chances in this tourney, Very little left on their out of conference schedule to impress committee with. They basically gonnna have to win their conference tourney now to get in imo (maybe winning the reg season would be enough but a tall task having to beat out zags!!)..

Anyways, great job buddy. Clearly you a good addition to our hoops forum!!

Anytime my man.

I’ll be sticking around all season trying to give my best advice on plays, some days there will be more than others!

Coming from a good capper and contributor like you that’s awesome appreciate it. Was also hating myself for not taking the ML but as tempting as it can be sometimes discipline is key to maintaining profits!

11/27
Cincinnati -23 First Half.

Should be such an easy win for the bearcats but they’ve been coming out and throttling better teams than this early in games. I expect they keep up the Defense and I’m more confident in the First half number than the full game.

Still trying to figure out the MD/Cuse and UVA/Wisc games to see if I have a play.

[2daBank]

I played terps but little worried with amount of love they seem to be getting around forumville! To me it came down to terps rebounding against cuse zone that I always think vulnerable to offensive rebounds.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I definitely lean towards the terps, penetration and rebounding keys vs that zone. What scares me if they’ve had some bad turnover games (hit the 20’s on the regular). If the zones giving them fits that’s going to hurt for sure. The other angle that probably makes this a pass for me is that Cuse has played a soft schedule and I HATE the unexpected in this spot. Should be a pretty even game. Hope MD comes through for you.

[2daBank]

Yea that Schedule the other thing. Terps havnt exactly been playing world beaters but at least they been out to other courts playing decent teams while cuse sat at home picking off cup cakes. I tend to want to fade those teams when they 1st see legit competition. Your concern about turnovers certainly valid and my biggest worry. Thinking ball pressure would probably be a bigger issue for them than the zone tho (against a team like wvu, vcu, etc, would prob be kind of game I'd look to fade terps)..

Appreciate response, I'll say again you a great addition to board, enjoy talking hoops with you!

[GPrime19]

Damn..missed a lot of open looks, I really thought 23 would be easy.. my bad.

10-3 (+6.10)

[BreesIsTheGOAT]

Should have been. Missed the few threes they took early, missed some free throws, off the inbound steal the backup guard shot a selfish jumper instead of the dish to the paint.

They literally will score every single possession if they just go down low.

[2daBank]

Can't win them all brother. At least it was close,, I have a team down 20! Lol

[GPrime19]

Just a strange day in general!

[GPrime19]

11/28

I’ve got a road fav, a heavy dog that’s being given too many points, and a small home fav that I’m thinking gets the job done despite the records

Florida St -4.5
South Dakota St +11
Wake Forest -2.5

Lets get back on the winning path.

[2daBank]

I jumped on wake too, think more likely they figure things out than a really young Illini team having success in their 1st road tilt and 1st game against legit competition.,

[GPrime19]

Yeah, borrowed your model there with the cupcakes at home then Travel away. I know Wake has come out under expectations but I think they’ve at least played some mid range competition and are up to the task tonight. We’ll see, GL!

[GPrime19]

Florida State a winner.. barely, we’ll take it.

Such an ugly shooting game and I thought those two missed FTs with 7 seconds left we’re gonna haunt us.

[GPrime19]

South Dakota St wins outright..

Let’s hope Wake gets it done for the sweep!

[GPrime19]

Boom.. Wake closes for another 3-0 day!

Overall Record 13-3 (+8.83)

[Hester48]

LSU Covers easily after a slow start.

[GPrime19]

Miami wins outright.. I love hitting when your side gets no love.

Still surprised Duke down

[Balco10]

Indiana gets up for these at home, but BOL to complete the trifecta.

[GPrime19]

Indiana gets up for these at home.

I’m seeing that now, just tough to watch Indiana St throttle them in the same building on opening night and the number 1 team in the nation can’t match that?

Yep and lay an egg on games they don’t care about. Brutal!
