Snowball's 2010-11 NCAAB plays

[Snowball]

just thought i would have a nice easy to reference place
to post my plays this year instead of jumping all around.

My research reveals a teaser for today's opener.

Rhode Island and Navy/Texas Over. no line yet on that total.
games are late, will wait for possibility Pitt may move to -12.5

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Good luck this season

[Aussiecapper101]

BOL for the season

[Snowball]

thanks guys. when are we going to see totals on the later games ??
Vegas is really holding back.
They often get taken for a ride early in the CBB season !!

I love picking teams that run jump and dunk over their competition to cover the spread. My candidates for this year include:

Kentucky
UNC
Duke
Ohio St.
Texas
Kansas
Memphis
Syracuse

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

I'll keep an eye on this thread and if it looks like you know what your doing I will be tailing a lot of your plays. Absolutely love watching College hoops but since I'm from Toronto theres very little coverage on NCCAB and is really tough to keep tabs on all the teams and whats going on.

I'll be looking for a half decent College hoops capper to tail this year, hope its you buddy

[Snowball]

college hoops is so hectic. we all know how fast you can make $. in one day literally
10x your money just on straight plays is very doable.
the way the schedules are time staggered and the 2 halfs is all day all night ACTION.
i'll try to post as many plays as possible that I feel best about.
those 2 halfs can be very limited time window especially if there is LM.

waiting on the Navy/Texas o/u

[slimpickins]

Still no line out in my book for the o/u in the Navy/Texas game either.

[Snowball]

Covers has the preview line at 147.
Forget it, that's too high for my taste under these circumstances.


One play tonight. Rhode Island +12.

[Snowball]

73 points scored in 1h, 37-36.

just bet Point Total Over 73.5 (-110)
2nd Half-RHODE ISLAND vs 2nd Half-PITTSBURGH

[Snowball]

2-0 start on the season
hit both game and 2h
final 83-75 pitt

[Snowball]

tonight

1 unit - Charleston +14.5
1 unit- Illinois-Chicago +24
2 unit - 5pt teaser ( Charleston +19.5 / Ill-Chi +29 )

notes:
Charleston:
Bobby Cremins has been around the block enough to realize when he's got a good thing working for him. And the Cougars' coach certainly has that this year.
College of Charleston is expected to have its best lineup of players in Cremins' tenure. Guard Andrew Goudelock, center Jeremy Simmons and guard Donavan Monroe form possibly the best trio of players on any team in the Southern Conference.
There's also Antwaine Wiggins, Willis Hall and Matt Sundberg, three more players with a ton of experience as starters. The difference is this year, Wiggins (torn ACL in 2009) and Sundberg (various injuries) are healthy and won't be spending most of their time on the bench.
"Last year after Antwaine went down and Matt Sundberg was hurt all during the preseason, our bench for a long time was made up of two freshmen -- Willis Hall and Andrew Lawrence," Cremins told the Charleston Post and Courier. "Those two freshmen did a great job, and then Sundberg got healthy and helped us. We're hoping we don't have any more injuries. We would never have won 22 games (last season) without those two freshmen."
If that was the case during an injury-affected 2009-2010, the sky may be the limit this year for the Cougars. College of Charleston and Wofford should battle all season for the top spot in the Southern Conference South Division.
The winner is expected to also win the overall conference title and the automatic qualifier into the postseason NIT. But the way the Cougars are shaping up, even that may be a disappointment.

Illinois-Chicago:
The UIC men's basketball program literally hit the ground running under first-year head coach Howard Moore.
Moore, 37, who spent the previous five seasons on Bo Ryan's staff at Wisconsin, became the school's 10th head coach in August. In order to make his team more physically and mentally tough in the final two minutes of a contest, he introduced the Flames to a phenomenon known simply as "The Hill."
Once a week for six weeks, players and coaches drove to a hill near Soldier Field. It began with 10 trips up the hill, then climbed to 15 and finally to 20 by the time official practice began. The goal was for every player on the team to complete the task.
"There's a significant mental aspect to it. Going in, knowing you are expected to complete 15 or 16 hills in one session, can be mentally draining," Moore said. "But when it's over, and you are still standing, that's where the guys see the value of the challenge."
UIC will need that strength and focus to climb back to the upper tier of the Horizon League. The 17-man roster includes the top two scorers from last season, guards Robo Kreps and Zavion Neely, and seven newcomers.
"When we're on the road, in a tough conference game, we can think back to the running of the hill," Moore said. "If we can accomplish that as a group, then we can find a way to get a tough win in a hostile environment. That's where the correlation comes in."

I like the plays Pitt is more a defense type team

[Snowball]

Charleston did fine

Pitt just went crazy on 3's.

[Snowball]

I won't be posting teasers anymore, just against the spread.
So far ATS on this thread I am 3-1.
No more 2h on this thread, just picks at onset of the day for a card to play.

My elimination process and handicapping research
reveals the following plays for tonight. Plays are in bold.

Iona +2 @ Kent State 5pm
Samford @ Youngstown State -3
Denver @ UC Santa Barbara -4
Austin Peay +9 @ Saint Louis
note: I believe Austin Peay has a strong chance to win on the ML+400.

[racerxar]

good $hit snow keep up the good work bro

[Snowball]

correction Penn is +3 not -3
look at that Denver line in freefall from +9 to +6

[sonnybaby]

hey snow the line movement is going ur way on the g mason game but i think harvard could hang with them maybe win just my thought

[Snowball]

Mason and Penn covered, Montana and Denver gave up nice 1h leads and failed.
so 2-2.

the Denver pick was more of a fade on Oregon than pro-Denver. As a matter
of fact my favorite ATS play today is North Dakota +2 vs. Denver.
North Dakota shocked Santa Barbara yesterday in this tournament.
The other games present some nice teaser opportunities.
Florida State, Temple and Iona are both vastly superior to their opponents.
the Duke line is too high for me, but I'm not taking Princeton at Duke either.
Under normal conditions I would take Santa Barbara to rebound vs Oregon
but this tournament is in Oregon's new facilities.
My only ATS play is North Dakota +2.

[Snowball]

North Dakota up to +3
fine by me..

[Aussiecapper101]

nice work

[iMxth3xbossx5000]

SnowbaLLLLLL need a strong fukin play tomorrow man...a real strong winner

[Snowball]

posted ATS plays (8-2-1)
big card. lines are sure to move. quite a few hooks.

Providence -17.5
Georgetown -22.5
Wofford +10.5 (poss. ML)
Rutgers -3
Va. Comm -10.5
Santa Clara +10.5 (poss. ML)
Pepperdine +20

[racerxar]

Hi snow,
wich are your top plays? the (poss ML ones)?
Regards!

[Snowball]

Hi snow,
wich are your top plays? the (poss ML ones)?
Regards!

yes, as those are dogs who i think can win outright
but really the whole first tier are equals.
it would be wise to combine some teasers or
set them up ATS in equal amounts per game.
it's a dangerous thing to choose between good plays.

early LM shows Pepperdine already down to +19
Providence up to -18, Wofford down to +10, Santa
Clara down to +9.5 etc.

[Snowball]

dissapointing 2-2 start tonight
Georgetown was covering most of the game
they must have emptied out the bench.
Providence really should have beaten Yale by more than 3.
Says a lot about Providence.
Rutgers very strong, Wofford hung in, but they are still 0-2 this year
we'll be taking them when they return to their home court.
4 games tbd yet

[shaggy3000]

is this a system or personal plays?

[Snowball]

is this a system or personal plays?

fully personal plays.. no system.

just increased on St John's. entirely possible for them to beat St Mary's.
