3* Vermont/Cuse over 144

may play the 1H over also, but won't decide that until later.

This play is based primarily upon Onuaku's injury for the Cuse. The Orange are not deep, and won't be able to play as aggressively on defense or challenge as many shots without Onuaku. Vermont won't be able to stop the Orange, but Syracuse will allow more points that usual because they'll have to alter their defensive style to keep their other big players out of foul trouble, knowing that they can outscore UVM.

Hey biff doing well here. Had pretty solid day yesterday and loving the 1st half pace of the Xavier/Minny game. Just like you said, neither team could hit broad side of a barn right now. Going to look at the 2nd half on this one?

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 12:17 PM

Good call on the X/Minn under, thanks.

My Temple -3 is not looking good right now, but Cornell is playing the game of their life (~70% shooting, forced 10 TO already). That can't continue. I hope Temple will take over in the 2nd half.

Tailed you on the Xav/Minn under and yesterday on Ohio! Thanks!

nice - even better than the 28-27 score i predicted. Minn/XU 1H under - WINNER. first few minutes were frenetic, but once they got into halfcourt sets, the shot-blocking kicked in.

2H over 75 might be worth a look, but think Temple -3' 2H might be even better. what do you think?

Temple 2H -3' looking mighty tempting....

mcbaseball10 · 03-19-10, 12:25 PM

Did not see much of Temple game so can't weigh in on it. I would say the over would be the only play to consider in the Minny Xavier game. That game can go either way as far as sides go. Have to think that both teams heat up a little bit in the 2nd half.

My Book is BoDog (don't' ask, i just started back up from a 5 year "vacation" yesterday. just have a little money in).

Don't know if I missed it, but right now it's Temple 2H -4.5.

mcbaseball10 · 03-19-10, 12:27 PM

Anybody have numbers on Xavier and Minny 2nd half scores this season?

i agree. the over 75 2H there is worth a look.

no, it's up to -4 at Greek now and Wilforth just played it at 4.5 somewhere. i'm going to pass, but i think it's a decent call. no way does the game continue as it has. problem is, at -4, i only win if Temple wins or loses by 3 or less. Cornell's FT shooting makes any Big Red win likely to be by more than that. it probably hits though.

match-up reports at spread.com show you their 2H averages (all games, road, etc.), but if you want to see individual games, you have to go through espn boxscores.

mcbaseball10 · 03-19-10, 12:38 PM

Thanks biff..Laid off of the 2nd half.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 12:40 PM

it's -4 at BoDog now. It's a tough call and a good chance to make up a little if Temple does in not cover, but I'd hate to chase Temple with the way they played the 1st half.

anytime. yeah, i laid off of both. i want to sit at 1-0 for awhile. plenty of chances, let's just avoid losers. not finding much i like in the night games, though. gotta get back to work and finish them.

yeah, the fact that you already have Temple for the game makes it easier to lay off.

BiffTFinancial · 03-19-10, 12:47 PM

in hindsight, maybe i should've just gone 5* on the Cornell/Temple 2H over 67. 18 points in first 3 minutes.

BiffTFinancial · 03-19-10, 01:08 PM

adding

3* Georgia Tech/Oklahoma State 1H over 65

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 01:17 PM

Really glad i laid off the Temple -4 2H. Losing my initial bet and getting a game wrong in all my brackets is enough for them to screw me over with.

3* UCSB/Ohio State under 131

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 01:55 PM

Settled on Oakland +5.5 -105 1H. The game line was +10 -120.

Didn't like the -120 on that play.

Still contemplating the bets on USU, might just go with straight ML.

BiffTFinancial · 03-19-10, 01:57 PM

updated card
4* Utah State +3'
3* Minnesota/Xavier 1H under 66 - WINNER
3* Oakland +9'
3* Georgia Tech/Oklahoma State 1H over 65
3* Vermont/Syracuse over 144
3* UCSB/Ohio State under 131

also leaning Duke under, but 6 plays is plenty. BOL to all rest of the day.

i like that 1H - good luck. i'll be pulling for you.

Just turned on the Oakland/Pitt game, oakland up 4 with 10 to go.

Who is the guy for oakland that got the cut over his eye? Anybody important?

yeah, that galoot McGhee knocked out our senior co-captain. f him. Nelson may return.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 02:46 PM

I'm watching on the net, and the broadcast wasn't giving me a good clue as to who got blasted. I missed the play, just saw the guy going off the court.

Oakland still up 1, terrible call charge on oakland right there to negate a And-1

yeah, that was a weak charge call. guy was standing within 2 feet of the rim.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 03:02 PM

well my 1st half is over, I guess you might have a shot at the game, but it doesn't look good

Nelson injury was the turning point.

Just going to have to bet extra on USU.

yeah, sorry about your 1H. Nelson coming back 2H they're saying, so i'll sit tight and hope for a comeback.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 03:48 PM

Able to get USU at +145 ML. By the time I found a line to parlay it with later tonight, it slipped back down to +140.

U like the 1H over on GT/Ok St? Not a big fan of 1H overs on neutral courts with uncommon opponents, seems teams take a while to adjust.

BiffTFinancial · 03-19-10, 03:50 PM

for the record, i am playing a parlay with USU ML. USU ML + GT/OK St over 139'. 1 unit brings 3.49u. not counting it for record good or bad. only 2nd parlay of the CBB season. for giggles.

hey, we were posting at same time. not bad idea to use game over - that's what i did. elimination game FTs and such.
