Not wild about playing a total of 12 plays in the first round, but as you can notice I played them all for 2 units, except for my big play which I stepped up my traditional 10U play to a 20U play in this spot, so I guess you could call it my game of the year because I probably won't go beyond 10U in any other spot unless something great presents itself. Not a big fan of games of the year, games of the week, play of the day, etc. just stating that I don't go beyond 10U on any given play and this is only the second time all season I have done it, the first being successful on Pitt. To be honest, I actually liked a whole heck of a lot more than just 10 regular plays and had to cut it down to 10, which is still too many IMO but playing them flat and looking for a winning record, which will produce positive units.

Good luck all, hope we all come out winners.

In addition, I will have a write-up on Wofford/Whisky either later tonight or tomorrow at the latest; just need to find the time.

[clarkd32]

[ronaldo922]

good plays

[mugsey15]

Good luck on your plays. Have the same views for most of them

[iceminers26]

looking forward to your writeup... don't know much on wofford.

I've followed the Southern Conference a lot this year, probably more than any other with the exception of the Big East so would like to think I have a good feel for this club.

[Wolf40]

on that note Ice, I'm looking at the App vs Harvard game. thoughts? I'm a little scared app might be upset about not being in the big show. But they def won't want to lose to the smart Ivy guys.

[hangar22]

i def like ok state too. especially to get out of the 1st round

[2daBank]

love the Baylor future ....gl brother

[Jericholic]

Like the SDSU pick!! GL!

The line scares the shit out of me, would have felt much more confident if App St opened up at 5 or up but opening in the 2.5 to 3 range and dropping to 1.5 to 2 range with a little more of the percentages on App St is enough for me to layoff it. Way to many games on the board the next couple days to be messing with anything that you have the slightest doubt about. I was on Wofford over App St in the championship game last week and App St looked pathetic. I think a lot of it had to do with Wofford's tough D, but don't know if I can forget how bad they looked in that one so soon to back them in this spot, regardless if they are at home against an Ivy school.

[Wolf40]

good point with the line ... I made good on App in certain spots all year except for that final so I like when I see them on the card
your prob right better off just chilling on that one.

[mwalsh6190]

Like Baylor also!

[gmoney45]

Nice looking card. Love the Wofford pick. I'm tailing most of these and adding Texas A&M -3. Love Turgeon's late season coaching style and his kids are tough.

WOFFORD Write-Up

WOFFORD TERRIERS +10

WTD - 7-6 +5.40U (5 winning weeks in the past 6 weeks)

I had a 4-3 night, losing (-1U) last night with Stony Brook not being able to close the deal at the end of the night, pissed about it, but not the end of the world and still up for the week and looking to make it 6 winning weeks out of the past 7 weeks. Alright, I got some regular plays for both Thursday and Friday but this write-up is directed to my big play on the Wofford Terriers catching 10 against the Wisconsin Badgers.

A quick note, the highest I go on any game is 10U and have only went above this once all season (successful win on Pitt at home earlier in the season) but Friday's play on Wofford is a 20U play because I'm pretty confident in it. Alright, just wanted to get that out of the way before breaking this match-up down.

Friday's Plays: Wofford +10 20U and Wofford ML +470 2U

I did see it at 10.5 at a couple of books but I booked this one early on in the week and I'm comfortable with the 10, but if you can get 10.5, that's even better.

WOFFORD

Offense

The 13th seeded Terriers enter this one with an overall mark of 26-8 and a combined road/neutral mark of 15-7, both solid numbers in my book. Overall the Terriers averaged 69 points per game this season on 44 percent shooting from the field, 35 percent from deep, and 67 percent from the line. Away from home, the Terriers averaged 67 points per game on 41 percent shooting, 34 percent from deep, and 71 percent from the line. These numbers may seem low to some, but keep in mind the kind of game this team plays and who their opposition is in this particular spot.

Defense

On the defensive side of the ball the Terriers allow an average of 62 points per game overall on 42 percent from the field, 31 percent from deep, and 68 percent from the line. Away from home, they allow an average of 62 points per game on 42 percent shooting, 30 percent from deep, and 68 percent from the line. Every number is identical except for the 1 percentage point difference in 3 point defense, now that's what I call consistency. I am a firm believer that it does not matter how many you score if you cannot play on the defensive end, this game is especially no different and will be won on the defensive end. I expect Wofford to take it to the Badgers and cause all kind of problems for an already sluggish offense and expose them for what they really are, an average Big 10 club. In addition, Wofford has held its last 3 opponents under the 60 point mark with defensive efforts of 51,58, and 47. The 51 and 58 in their last 2 outings are more impressive than the 47 because they shut down to high powered offenses in Western Carolina and Appalachian State. They made App. St. look like a high school team in the conference tournament championship game and I do not expect this club to back down in the least bit, I actually expect them to take it to the Badgers.

WISCONSIN

Offense

The 4th seeded Badgers enter this one with an overall mark of 23-8 and a combined road/neutral record of 7-7. That's the first deceiving fact, their overall record, we all know they are one of the best at home but as the away record shows, they are average at best. And I don't want to hear about the level of competition because the Big 10 is not that much better than this Southern Conference IMO and I strongly feel it will show in this match-up Friday. Alright, time for the offensive stats: the Badgers average 68 per game overall on 44 percent shooting from the field, 36 percent from deep, and 74 percent from the line. Away from home, the Badgers average 63 per game on 42 percent shooting from the field, 38 percent from deep, and 70 percent from the line. The Badgers do shoot well from deep at 38 percent on the road, but the Terriers defend at 30% so I'm liking my chances of the Badgers having a rough shooting day from outside the arc. The only benefit I will give them is that they shoot a descent percentage from the line and if the refs are whistle happy, they could get a few easy points from the line but the refs should let the kids play because after all, it is the NCAA Tournament. I expect the Badgers to struggle on the offensive end and I'm leaning to the Terriers holding them under 60 points with their in your face D.

Defense

Overall the Badgers allow an average of 56 per game on 42 percent shooting from the field, 38 percent from deep, and 70 percent from the line. Away from home, they allow an average of 57 per game on 43 percent shooting from the field, 36 percent from deep, and 67 percent from the line. I'm not going to take anything away from the Badgers on the defensive end because they deserve credit for what they have accomplished on this end this season, but that's not to say they are not vulnerable in transition. Wofford's strong defense will lead to transition buckets IMO and I'm also confident in Wofford's offense in the half court when they can't get out and get easy buckets. The bottom line is that this should be a dog fight and the team to 60 wins this one, I'm banking on the Terriers to get it done.

Current Form

Wofford is coming off of 3 wins in route to winning the Southern Conference Tournament, won 10 straight overall and 16 of their past 17 overall; this team knows how to win.

Wisconsin enters this one off a 2nd round loss to Illinois in the Big 10 Tournament, where they went 0-1 overall after a 1st round bye. The Badgers are 5-3 overall in their past 8 games and just 3-4 on the road in their past 7 road contests, IMO they are not in the best form entering this tourney and are ripped for the picking.

Well that's it boys, I'm riding the hot Terriers catching the 10 and also taking a shot on them on the money line as well.

Friday's Plays: Wofford +10 20U and Wofford ML +470 2U

Good Luck
