I like both picks !

2PLAYSMAX · 03-09-10, 07:05 AM

Uconn should be solid.

xxdjstriderxx · 03-09-10, 07:07 AM

i like uconn, s florida..not so much.

good luck

twoods215 · 03-09-10, 07:39 AM

I love the UCONN pick. I love it too much. -4 at home and St Johns will be tired. I don't love the fact that 69% are on UCONN though.

FHCI30 · 03-09-10, 07:40 AM

damn i got uconn at 5.5 do you think that is doable or should i side the other way with st john?

Chi_archie · 03-09-10, 07:40 AM

lines seem to be right on.

don't overestimate how much basketball it really takes for these kids that play 4-10 hrs of ball a day in the summer to get tired..... and don't underestimate how the 18-22 year old body recovers from 4 nights of rest.

last year in the BE tourney Syracuse won a hard fought 6 ot game vs uconn if you remember and THE NEXT NIGHT, came back to beat WVU......

Chi_archie · 03-09-10, 07:43 AM

Remember MSG is St. John's home court much of the time......

mp5070 · 03-09-10, 07:51 AM

Good Luck!

infamousbacardi · 03-09-10, 07:54 AM

Good luck

maseda17 · 03-09-10, 07:54 AM

I also am in agreement on Uconn but I see Depaul covering particularly if you are getting 7.5.

fsugolf · 03-09-10, 07:58 AM

st johns up to 4.5

keitht · 03-09-10, 08:25 AM

south florida wont cover!!!!!!

blazehound · 03-09-10, 08:32 AM

Uconn -4 is getting the most public action of any side today. We saw what happened when that happened last night with Gonzaga.

thespeculator · 03-09-10, 09:16 AM

like uconn, they have the talent , hopefully it will show up today
good luck

Shark · 03-09-10, 09:20 AM

good luck with those.

FHCI30 · 03-09-10, 09:20 AM

Yeah, UCONN has the potential to just blow this game out but they have not been consistant at all this year. And im afraid to pull the trigger on South Florida game because i think SF will cover but as we all know Depaul is capable of staying close cause they always stay close I say that if Depaul has a lead at all in the Second Half SF wont cover

iceaxe56 · 03-09-10, 09:21 AM

when uconn backs were against the wall they blew it--no confidence in the huskies-if they win it won't be by much--prob go to overtime

jagaf22 · 03-09-10, 09:23 AM

Agree both should roll

chase hardy · 03-09-10, 09:27 AM

Gl. I'm on the other two!

oiler · 03-09-10, 09:43 AM

well i do think depaul will get spanked as usual but dont count out uconn just yet,they are desperate for a win

fsugolf · 03-09-10, 09:48 AM

who hammered st johns back to +4?????

smash0719 · 03-09-10, 09:50 AM

Teasing both South Florida and UCONN is the safest opion. Just give them 4 points a piece that would take them both to nearly a pickem. well not really South FL is at -7 now. I still say tease build the bankroll

sportsfan2009 · 03-09-10, 10:33 AM

take uconn plus the money line for usf better bet

yahoonino · 03-09-10, 10:59 AM

s. fla -7.5 to many point

RiverRaid · 03-09-10, 11:15 AM

Gotta love some lunch time basketball during the week. I am going with both underdogs.

letitburn · 03-09-10, 11:19 AM

good luck

smash0719 · 03-09-10, 11:19 AM

This is crazy.........
It's like we all overthink these games and try to think we know it all. Take for example last night who would have thought Gonzaga would lose by 19. I had 1000 on then to be -4 then at halftime I put 1000 against them to even out the risk. It was a good move but still if we all new it all we wouldnt be sitting on the computer trying to handicapp games.
South Florida today has a better record......more wins then loses.....and even beat Pitt I remember (cause I'm from Pittsburgh and go to Pitt University) all signs point to taking South Florida....right?
Well I think it all depends on the mind set of these players when game time hits.....the motivation and drive......the hype that players feel....that's where games are won and lose and no one can predict that..(like Gonzage last night) that's just one of many examples.

- Great post.

Tourney DOGS...

TAKE THE POINTS!!!

UConn has dissapointed people all year long and I expect them to do it again tonight.

When it comes down to conference tourneys, and two teams wanting it more than anything on nuetral floors to get into the big dance and have there shot at glory, that motivation can even out any two schools!!!

TAKE THE POINTS!

GLTA whoever your on!

LTCOL27 · 03-09-10, 11:26 AM

I know that is a lot of points, but I have a feeling that South Florida will come out fired up for this first round game. JC2008 makes a lot of great points, it is all about motivation, their mind sets, the hype at tip off, etc. Can Depaul really get up for this game with an 8-22 record, and their season over with a loss today? I just have a feeling that if they get down by 10 or so, they will just give up.

Sorry, I meant to say Smash and JC...

JC2008 · 03-09-10, 11:39 AM

I don't think I'll tread too much on this South Florida game. I took the South Florida moneyline and parlayed them with the Philadelphia Flyers $10.62 to win $10.00 (Philly has beaten the Islanders 14 straight I believe) and then took Depaul on the ML $10 to win $28 just in case they somehow win. Doubt it though. It's odd though... with Depaul's record, you would assume the moneyline would be higher than +280, same as SF's ML, etc. Also took over 57 for the first half, small. GL to all!

Jive · 03-09-10, 11:40 AM

I can't believe all the people who are on UCONN. They have looked like dog crap so many times this year. I'm not playing that game so I will definitely be rooting for the Huskies for you guys. I hope the pick is golden for you.
