    3* UConn -4

    I love the rationale that St. John's is in a good spot here because it's at home. The Johnnies were 3-6 both SU and ATS in conference this season at this alleged home. Syracuse has more of a home court advantage at MSG than St. John's does.

    With UConn, it's all about how focused they are. When they were, they beat WVU and Nova at Nova. When they were not, they lost by 12 at home to Cincy. UConn played St John's once this season and beat them by 16 at Storrs in a game where they were very focused (first game of Calhoun's medical leave). I'd be shocked if Calhoun doesn't have them looking sharp today as they begin their run to their first-ever NIT title. UConn by 8+.

    This is my home town tourney. Look at the seat's when the game start's, it's empty. Next season MSG and St. Johns are speaking right now, they might not play there no more, it cost to much money to open the Garden, and there's no one there. No money. Terrible home court advantage for the Johnnies.

        thanks fellas. i was square as fk yesterday with my Zags and Mean Green plays, guess it's starting that way again today. not much to be done when the card's this small. faves usually dominate early in the Big East tourney, hoping this afternoon is no different. will have to try to find something that feels sharper tonight, as i'll be out and away from computer and won't have a Siena 2H play to bail me out.

                  Real S*&* kicker is that Hardy is out for St. Johns and he is one of there best players. UConn just sucks and app. is overated.

                    What?

                    This clown picked UCONN to win and you seek his opinion on the 2nd half? Isnt it obvious?

                      i think that if you play it 2H, it's probably UConn and/or the over. i'm not touching either. 3.3u is apparently more investment than the Huskies deserved. why can't Siena play everyday?

                        hey, thatswhatshesaid, didn't realize you were on St. John's for the game when you asked your question (saw it in other thread). yes, you would be setting yourself up for a decent middle if you play UConn 2H -6. no way i'm throwing more behind this team with the way they played 1H, but if you're going for the middle, might be worth a shot. BOL whatever you decide.

                            Pretty lame performance. The seniors obviously are weak in leadership which is very abnormal for UCONN. Not over yet, just disappointed by the effort.

                                disappointed in them too, mcbaseball. i can only imagine how Calhoun feels. not sure what's more disappointing: 4-10 from the line or having already allowed 11 offensive boards. the lack of mental toughness from this UConn team is startling

                                  Calhoun and Roy Williams both very disappointed with output of such talented players. Hate to have their offseason workouts.

                                    3* UConn -4 - LOSER

                                    22-point loss in the first round of the Big East tourney when you must have at least one W to get into the NCAA tourney. UConn fans won't likely be pining for the Dyson-Edwards-Robinson era years from now. weak sauce.

                                      I'm not sure what the motives were behind this post but I asked Biff about the 2nd half becasue he calls a lot of nice 2nd half bets. Hit a nice one yesterday with Siena!! Thanks for input Biff. GL on your other plays.

                                      By the way....that is one scary MF'ing clown

                                        hey, no worries, thatswhatshesaid. happens a lot, someone pops in and says something like that to try and get a rise. people do it in all the threads, and if you take the bait, you waste time arguing when you should be capping or watching hoops. some people like arguing. i find arguing with people i can't see online the height of boredom. well, that and my job.

                                        i think it's safe to say that John Wayne Gacy holds the title of scariest clown of all-time, and like Joe D's 56 games and Wilt's 100 points, it'll never be touched.

                                          i'm starting to realize that my crappy picks are followed by long write-ups. to that end, i'll just point out that their last 3 1Hs HTH averaged 57.6, and expertcapper likes it too.

                                                  fly fisher,

                                                  you're not kidding. i think that the take-home message in that one is that UConn showed us who they were all season. heartless, gutless, hopeless except for a couple of okay but not great stretches. we broke the rule about not wagering on a team to do something for the first time. of course, St. Mary's backers broke that rule last night and were on the right side of the blow-out. oh well. BOL tonight and catch up with you later.

                                                    4* UMass/Charlotte 1H under 68 - WINNER
                                                    3* UConn -4 - LOSER
                                                    3* Wright State +7 - WINNER

                                                    1-2 -2.6u. 4* was solid but the two 3* were horrendous.
