Why did anyone think LBST was going to beat Tenn?

Put me in that club and now I'm struggling to remember why I thought that. Truly outclassed there.

A lot of people that I respected loved LBST and I just couldn't understand it..

I was questioning myself.

I'm still shocked they scored 121 points.

I'll admit that I was leaning LB St. once the brackets were released. Then, just as I did with Davidson, I checked out their body of work and discovered it was woefully absent of competition. so, I switched gears had Tennessee. Bet Tenn, bet Tenn and Over , bet Tenn and Over 2H.

See at least you bet them.. I'm all talk.

Ask pags,buddy,or Razz when the brackets came out I said Tenn would destroy LBST..

Game comes up and I put them in teasers..

babaoriley · 03-16-07, 05:19 PM

Well, I teased them too, IMG. (Teased with UVA, TX and Oregon). I remember you saying Tennessee would destroy them. At that point, I saw merit in LBST. The more I thought about it (and after seeing yesterday's favorites come through) it seemed like an easy bet to play every way.
EDIT: I'm just pissed that I put my thoughts in the damn "Virginia -8.5" thread and didn't list my plays in my own damn thread (except 2H bet). I need to stay on top in my own thread. It's missing some losses but lately it's missing more of my winners. More discipline...

Yeah my thread is all messed up too.. I post my plays on another forum more and forget to post them here..

baba seems like you and I are going through the same shiit.

I had LBST. I feel you have to pick a Cinderella team for the tournament, so this was my George Mason. Can't say I'm surprised they didn't make it, but that was the whole point. Was it based on reason? No. Cinderella teams never are. It was more based on what I perceived as seed potential. Which obviously didn't manifest.

Nice call as usual IMGV...you really have a good beat on this Tenn team. Will be looking foward to your analysis on Tenn/Vir

Why did anyone think Arizona was going to beat Purdue?

Checkerboard · 03-16-07, 09:54 PM

The Wildcats were so uncarbonated.

Are you actually comparing both games? At least Arizona was in the game.. If they make a couple of layups and don't turn the ball over they had a chance..

LBST was never in the game lost by 35...

Seriously LBST and Albany were some braindead plays.. Probably the two worse plays of the entire tournament.

Dark Horse · 03-16-07, 11:26 PM

Hey IMG, I know the contest is just for fun, but why didn't you play?

imgv94 · 03-16-07, 11:38 PM

It's not easy to cash two years in a row..

Dark Horse · 03-16-07, 11:38 PM

Oh, ok.

Boilers came to play tonight

imgv94 · 03-17-07, 12:32 AM

So did Tennesee..

Wassymac · 03-17-07, 12:40 AM

Tennessee played great and I lost money because I bet they wouldn't. I'm ok with that. I'm just pleased the Boilers brought out the whoopin' stick on 'Zona.
