    Cal Poly is nothing. Texas Southern is taller and can score on CP no problem.

    adding a Mount St Mary's 1h +1 110/100
    Albany got lucky Stony Brook was good for nothing in their last game.
    MSM should have offensive success against this rudimentary Albany squad.

    I like NC State better as a team which is why I have the wolf pack in teaser
    and I think they would win however Xavier is basically at home in this game
    so I went tease instead.

    hey guys last might was mezza-mezz. i hit the NC ML and went pretty big on NC +4 in the second half but didn't have time to post it here. 2h plays can be a time issue.
    Tonight I'm biggest on Texas Southern. Yes I went ML and +6. why did I buy those pts because although I think TS is the better team you never know if a team is just going to get hot on 3's or another team is going to have tournament jitters. Then in general if a team is down going into the last minute, intentional fouls can aggravate the lead. There is no value in getting 2-3 or even 4 points in basketball because of this. Teams I like/have in high teasers include include American, Dayton, Cincy, Duke, Austin, TSU, Texas, Providence, and Memphis.
    I also like Cincy to beat Harvard tomorrow. Teams in lesser tournaments such as Towson, UTEP, and SMU appear attractive however we need to question their motivations - as many experienced cappers here have said - some teams will show up and give 100% effort for the lesser tourneys but others will just want to end the season and concentrate on studies or personal matters.
    That's why Canisius gave up 111 to VMI last night. So I'm not going to bother with those until perhaps the actual finals when it's safer because if a team gets to the finals of the NIT/CIB/CIT then you know they want it.

    i'm not betting on either of them. although i reserve a possible bet on the Iowa/Tenn second half.
    Sometimes you have to wait to see these teams play each other on the floor then get a better opportunity in the second half. My lean is Tennessee but if the real Iowa please stands up, they can win it. My lean is also Illinois but it's a road game and question motivation.
    I added to Texas Southern both ML and +6 more earlier.
    I hope they do work. If not, I'll wait for the teasers and
    then if I rly get desperate I'll go heavier on Cincy over Harvard or
    Providence ML.

    going 1h Tennessee +1 440/400
    i don't like the way Iowa stumbled into the tournament
    Tennessee has been confident - stuck right with Florida.
    lucky Texas Southern even covered the superteasers
    the way they played tonight.

    guys after going on a monster run into the tournament - the tournament
    is beating the crap out of me. do not tail.
    i got Pvd and Mem in teasers which only need 1 to hit, and a long teaser at 10-1
    which is Pvd, Mem, SFA, Gonz, KY, UCLA, Pitt, SDSU. (thats a 5pt)

    Oklahoma, Duke, NM, Cincy, TSU all f'd me.
    next year no more carrying winning season into NCAA tournament
    how many times do we see this chit happen and still get sucked in
    i know a lot of other people are getting killed too.

    hedging works to preserve the wager against a loss that shouldn't happen.
    when you have covered 6 out of 8 on a 10-1 odd bet you have to think
    about hedging unless you bet next to nothing on it.

    I'm going 10pt tease on Pitt, Louisville, SDSU and Michigan St.
    hedge bet : Florida -6.5 (-102). Hedge to pay for hedge: Pitt ML.
