Went w/ cuse ML and ND -1.
Let do it!!!!

Hm... horrible NO CALL by the refs on the goal-tending... I'm getting sick of getting screwed by bad reffing. These aren't tough calls, like an offensive charge/blocking foul... this is people running out of bounds while traveling and the ball rolling on the rim and a player ripping the ball off of it.
Cuse didn't look good at all tonight anyway... but it would've been tied... now they are down 5... could still go to OT...but I'd rather the refs just call a fair game.
Comment -
Alright... now that we're in OT... I'll forgive the refs.
Comment -
Pathetic Syracuse... they missed the front end of every 1 & 1 and made only 1 FT in OT... just pathetic. Oh well. UConn is going down tomorrow night to Notre Dame. They are going to be exhausted.Comment -
Three most important stats in basketball. IMO.
Turnovers
Free Throws
Rebounds
One of those stats will be a factor in a loss or win.Comment -
Syracuse... Damn!
Watching Jimmer...
Took the o146... not in danger... Jimmer 33 pts. 1st. half. 1st. half total 89...
Are u kidding me!
Jimmer, gotta' be NCAA player of the year?

Absolutely. Those are 3 out of 4 of the "Four factors to winning." You're only missing eFG%Originally posted by HoulihansTX

I think they went from Final Four team to sweet sixteen or elite eight caliber with the loss of Brandon Davies.

Two things I will say about UConn and Louisville... they rebounded like they WANTED it yesterday. That's why I hate betting these tourneys cuz you never know motivations. But ND sounded like they wanted to win but then they just stopped playing in the second half.
Today it will be hard to say who's going to win... because they both want it. I have an early lean towards LVille here... but fear that Kemba will out-will the rest of the world and steal it. Will probably not touch the game tonight. -1.2 Units in the Big East tourney.
The first round of the NCAA tourney in the last two years I've gone 7-3 and 8-3 (a combined 15-6 (71.43%)) So I'm looking forward to the NCAA tourney!Comment -
I'm looking forward to the Touney widja CQ And see the Uconn/Louie matchup as you do.
Can Jimmer Jimmer SDSU again tonight?
Answer... HELL YEAH HE can... but will he. I don't know
SDSU has to be getting tied of BYU being the only team they can't open up a can of whupass on?
I'm saying I like L'ville and BYU... but how to bet 'em?
Thinking... Thinking
Comment -
BYU got their asses handed to them... much like I think will happen in the NCAA tourney. They will get a 2 seed or 3 seed...and then they lose in the like the 2nd or 3rd round, all because they couldn't handle a little sex.
LVille... I'm still thinking they will win, but honestly... but teams are gonna be tired. Defense is hard to accomplish when you're exhausted. I have a slight lean to the over 136...but won't play it....as some coaches may decide to slow things way down if they are too tired.
Also... Kemba, as much as I hate him... he's got a TON of heart...and I respect that. He left it all out there on the floor against Notre Dame, and for that, I say he's got a chance to take down LVille tonight.Comment -
My Big East Player of the Year:
Kemba Walker
There's just no question about it. That man is clutch.Comment -
Hi CQ,Originally posted by CrimsonQueen
Yeap, you gotta' hand it to Kemba and company...
Glad I stayed away. Would likely have played L'ville, a mistake, had I not.
Will check in w/you thru the day to see if you got any posts up.
I'm taking Fla. Gators
GL today my friendComment -
I'm tempted to take Penn State, but I dunno...they could get slaughtered... My number crunching has them losing by 10.2 ...and the line is 10.5...so there's no real value there... But if you look at their last couple of games, you'll see one thing: HEART. And heart is what won UConn the Big East title.
Ohio State won by 3 the first time the two met AT Ohio State...impressive. But then Ohio State BLEW UP Penn State by 21 the second time they met AT Penn State.
They both play slow games, very low tempos... which goes in the favor of the UNDER and in favor of the UNDERDOG. At +10.5 it's REALLY tempting to take a team that WANTS it.Comment -
I played Penn St. -11 as a stand alone bet and played Ohio St. in a ML parlay of the 4 favs. Looks like Kty. might ruin the parlay!

PUSH!
Comment -
NCAA brackets and lines are out... already looking over a few plays. Will have a number of plays up later...First I have a TON of work to do. I won't just be playing Big East for the tourney, so my unit size will be remarkably smaller. Probably 1/3 unit size for the tourney, even though historically I've done very well in the tourney, this was the first year I focused only on the Big East. I'll still be aided by my trusty computers...so we'll do alright
Comment -
Ok, I have 3 plays for the first round. It's down drastically from the last 3 years...but I've been a hell of a lot more selective this year, shooting for a higher W%.
Conference Season:
35-20 (63.64% ATS)
I think I was quite successful. Before I post these 3 plays though, I need the lines to move a bit more/5Dimes to open up reduced juice.
I will say that 2 of the games contain Big East teams...and that I'm going to use HALF units as my unit size for this post season. (I'm confidant in these plays and my NCAA tourney abilities, but as my out of conference record this year wasn't nearly as good as my in-conference record, I'm going to lay back just to play it safe)
May be more plays later as lines move and information evolves, we'll see!Comment -
First 3 plays of the NCAA tourney, and yes, I changed my mind yet again, going full units because there's only 3 plays instead of the 10 I initially thought there would be, and these same plays have hit at a (71.43%) clip for me the last 2 years (7-3) and (8-3) for a total of (15-6) in the last 2 years.
1 Unit
Utah St. +2 [BoDog]
Marquette +2 (-105) [BoDog]
Gonzaga ML +105 (1 to win 1.05) [Bookmaker]
Good luck!Comment -
Hey CQ!
Was out of town Mon.-Tues.-Wed morning.
Thanks for those 1st. 3 plays... checking 'em out!
GL to us both w/ the Touney.
I'm also checking out The NIT.
Watched the C of C game in a motel room. Goudelock and company looking good!Comment -
So far those three are still the only 3 I'm on, but I'm sure I'll find something tomorrow closer to game time... good luck in the tourney my friend!
Comment -
I hope Utah St. can win for the first time in tourny play also.
K-St. is the type of team that can give Utah St. fits. But the coaching edge, as always, goes with Stew Morrill.Comment -
Good morning CQ.
I'm looking for something I can hang my hat on the early NCAA Tounament games today.
WVA?
ODU?
L'ville? (Love these guys)
Temple?
What to do? What to do?
I'll be checking in widja'Comment -
WOW!
WVA wins by beating a travel exhausted Clemson in the 2nd. half.
ODU goes down by a buzzer-beater by Butler.
Louisville goes down to Morehead State.
Temple pulls out a squeaker against Penn State.
I'm almost scared to wager anything!!!!!!!!!!
I had the WVA and the Temple picks right... other 2 wrong....
It must be NCAA Touney time!Comment -
So far not taking anything else... Zags line is at -1 on Pinny now, was +1.5 when I took the ML! (+105 is now -112) very nice.
Also liked Nova when they were +1.5... now -1.5 probably won't take them (for tomorrow).Comment -
Dogs are barking today.
So far dogs are 4 for 6, I think, ATS..........
Clemson and UNC Asheville didn't cover.
In progress, Richmond should cover and N. Colorado might.
I'm riding the dogs tonight until they throw me off.....Comment -
god... missed an easy open 3pter as time expired for the push...Comment -
1 Unit
Utah St. +2 - LOSS
Gonzaga ML +105 - WIN
Day was a push.
Tomorrow:
Marquette +2Comment -
Good morning to you CQ.
Thanks for the Zags.
Just could NOT talk myself into Utah St., so went very small on K St. Sorry for your loss there.
I'm hoping Marquette +2 (now +2 1/2) is a winner, but I'm liking the Over 140 play better.
I have not put in a wager yet (on anything. Still looking at the earlier games).
GL today and make me sorry I didn't get on your Marq. play my friend.......
Comment -
You're sorry now GT. Marquette moved from +2.5 to -1
3.5 free points don't come around often!
Comment -
Looked @ it the other way...
Took The Over 139 1/2 and Xmen pk.
I was hoping the public would continue to push it even further to Marq. -2. But Marquette-1 went back to pk.
We'll just have to wait 2 hrs.
Comment -
Another easy win... gotta love the first round of the NCAA tourney!!
Margin of victory in the first round:
+15
+13
-2
I was on the right side of all these games...2 outta 3 with an average of MoV of +8.67.
Doesn't get easier than the first round of the NCAA tourney. I could make a living killing it every year. total of 17-7 in the last 3 years now. (70.83%)
Don't bet against me GT!!! (I also had the Under 140.5 for a unit, but it was for a 1/2 unit so I didn't post it)Comment -
Congrats CQ!
You're right.
Although I love Touney Time, it always gets me... so my plays are REAL small to protect my account.
You're good at it.
Should just tail you and go larger......
Comment -
lol don't go crazy now... but I'll see what I can come up with for today!
