    So About This TCU/AAU game....

    Does anyone know anything about AAU? On ESPN there's no link to previous game history or stats. I found this:

    http://www.gnacsports.com/media/Stat...B_OEM_ID=13400

    After reading through things, key players for AAU are 6'1 Travis Thompson, and 6'0 Kyle Fossman these guys are 3pt shooters, they put up shots. AAU is a small team, like to run and shoot 3's, score a lot of points, short players though. Not sure about the competition they face either. Any thoughts?

    This is a textbook, "I need action to live", "I'll bet on anything" type of play...

    I know because I was tempted to bet on this despite not knowing a damn thing about AAU.

    I think AAU can pull it off. Just look at stats, looking at how they play the game from the 3pt line. If they can move the ball and get open shots and make them, any team that does that is very hard to beat. They are small in the middle, biggest guy is 6'9, but they can really shoot.

    AAU is a very good D2 school with a big home court advantage. They can beat garbage D1 teams, last year in this tournament they beat UC Riverside by 1 as 1.5 point underdogs, and Loyola Marymount by 6 as 5.5 point underdogs. They did lose to Belmont by 14, but covered the 16 point spread.

    If you're going to take Anchorage, I think a 1H bet makes more sense than FG. They don't seem like a team that will come from behind, I think if they cover they have the lead at the half. By taking 1H you don't need to worry about TCU making adjustments/waking up after halftime. If they aren't winning or tied at the half, I think the FG bet would lose anyway.

    Anchorage ML

    TCU is bigger and stronger but I don't think they can score with Anchorage. Anchorage will be on their home floor, home rims, they will shoot the lights out, TCU isn't a good 3 pt shooting team at all, traveling to Alaska to play at 2am....Anchorage can run the score up on them if they get hot. I'm up 1.5 units today, putting it on Anchorage ML not sure what the number is yet but i know it's +, i think it was +165.

    Not sure what is worse. Betting on a D2 team or maybe betting on high school football?

    Nabbed AAU @ +5. Couldn't get myself to lay it straight. Think the points may come in handy

    AAU will need to start hitting the 3's. TCU's second half adjustments will be go hard in the paint.

    Hard to believe it'll take TCU til the half to figure that out. Just look @ AAU.

    AAU hanging around even with them being cold from 3's. TCU might be tired and I thought I heard a loss to a D2 school will not hurt TCU.

    That wasn't a good stretch there for Alaska, they went away from what they do SHOOT THE BALL...they started driving. Need to cover Parish on the 3, he's all TCU have on the perimeter.
