Who likes my Picks - Pair of 5s Sir

MSU is garbage.

they lost to UNC, and TX. Those two losses look really bad right now. And the way Ohio St., and Purd have defeated them in conference should seal the deal.

that my other point....MSU is not anything special...

[BiffTFinancial]

that the beauty of it though and ive always been a big believer the first game after the star is gone the team steps up, even more so in a spot where they been hearing all week that there season is shot from everywhere....i think they come out with a serious chip and something to prove plus i like johnson and there point plus kramer a bulldog..im not gonna lie i was real high on them all year and the Hummel thing sux but today they make a statement

i thought Purdue was a near-lock for Final Four with Hummel, and definitely best team in Big Ten, though not by wide margin.

[Pair of 5s Sir]

won't have time to look at that one til afternoon, but i'm a Big Ten apologist for sure, and i think this one's a definite no-play. it'll be the dominant topic of sunday morning hoops with other Big Ten apologists. Hummel is Boilers' heart and soul, and while i wouldn't be surprised to see them win, giving 4 without Hummel is very risky. MSU has tons of depth, especially up front. probably MSU or no-play for me, likely no-play. maybe MSU 1H +2.



back to this topic: does this mean that you have advice for my mediocre golf game in addition to my mediocre handicapping?

no not wide ohio st is close....mich st is not imo.....im tellin ya Purdue rises to the occasion today and handles business...or they demoralized and get killed but im thinking not

garbage may be a little strong. at the time of those losses in December, UNC looked good enough to be top 25 and Texas looked good enough to ascend to #1. i can't argue with the fact that, in hth meetings with OSU, Purdue, Wisconsin (the other top 4 Big Ten teams), MSU is making a strong case that it's 4th best. also, unlike previous seasons in which Izzo has Spartans peaking in early March, they clearly are NOT peaking right now.

my big concern is Purdue's lack of depth. like OSU, and unlike Wisconsin and MSU, Purdue is ill-equipped to deal with the loss of as big a contributor as Hummel. i'll be more than happy to lay off of MSU today, though - my point is more that i think it's a no-play, as i think Purdue wins but doesn't cover and that's a pretty thin margin on which to place a wager.

hey, i'm sold. no-play for me. thanks for your thoughts, 2dabank. you may have saved me 3.3 units, and you definitely saved me some time.

whenever 1 side is getting hammered like that a 4 point spread doesnt bother me...honestly i thinks it either pur wins and covers or they dont win....hopin it drops a point but i guess if it doesnt all the more reason to like them

good point. may be time to lock in Purdue at 4 if you want it. i see a couple of books have moved to 4.5. ok, gotta shovel snow and play some hoops. talk to you guys later.

you certainly right about the depth though guess im gonna have to hope for some home cookin....id be real scared if they were big east officials as they love blowin the damn whistle....johnson cant get in foul trouble for sure or the bet would be toast

You really need to move to the Coast. Clear skies, and muscle T for me.

[MartinBlank]

Good luck 5's

[Pair of 5s Sir]

Thanks Marty. I starting to really like Riverside for a big play. Let you know later. I will be watching the line to see if it moves in the contrarian direction. If it ticks to 2.5, I will buy the hook to put me at +3

enjoyed reading this guys

after yesterdays debacle my heads on a swivel

I like marq. and virginia today,

I measured the stats and averages and seton came out 75-70.

I haven't watched mrquette much this year but I have seen seton hall and haven't been that impressed

they rely to much on hazell IMO

and virginia came out to 68-65 which leaves a lot of value from the 9-

if you look at my math test thread, it went 17-16 finding 5 or more points off the average

compared to yesterday where I just used instinct and went 7-17

when I capped the riverside game one stat I highlighted was the off. rebounding advantage riverside has--35.9 to 27.2
