100% agree with you on this. Im trying to find a way to actually go to this game tonight.

LT Profits · 03-09-08, 02:01 PM

OK I will...unless the wife wants sex.

LOL@LT ... quickies man quickies. You get the best of both worlds. I'm sure I'll be watching. I like the UNDER at 126.5 or 127 better than a side, but would think SD does have more to play for seeing as their only way to get in is to win the tourny.

I'm with you on this one. San Diego has one of the best coaches in the NCAA, in my opinion (he was at Gonzaga from 1992-2007, was their defense specialist, and played a huge part in building them into a national power). I believe San Diego is going to, at the very least, give St. Mary's a good scare. This, tonight, is the start of the Toreros' real post-season. It's a home game -- probably the most important their fans have seen in years. Grier has seen St. Mary's twice this year, and for decades, with Gonzaga, before that. The Toreros beat St. Mary's by 11 at home, then lost to them by 7 in Moraga. Don't get me wrong, I like St. Mary's, they're very good, but Grier will be tough to beat twice in a row, especially given that it will be a favorable crowd and he knows St. Mary's like the back of his hand. This should be a great game. I'll take the crowd and the points in this one.

By the way, I like Gonzaga to take Santa Clara out back to the woodshed.

Thanks for raising this St. Andrew. Bless you.

And LT ("unless the wife wants sex"), you leaning toward the "over" or the "under"?

Well, if I take the Over and the game goes Over early, I could always have sex then. The wife being awake is optional.

Unfortunately, I really have no opinion, as my numbers project this game at 129. I guess gun to my head, I'd lean ever so slightly to the Over, as there is a good chance this game will be tight late, so fouling could very well come into play.

I like San Diego as well . . .St. Mary's is already in the tourney win or lose .. .

Would not shock me if San Diego won this tournament. . .

I'm on St Mary's... already have them on nice 4 team teaser that cashed with a ML win and will add 5 more units St Mary's ML .....they are not guaranteed a tourny bid if they lose this game...if San Diego wins this game and the conf tournament then San Diego gets the automatic bid...Gonzaga the next one...the conf has never had three teams ever make the tourny in the same year if this happens...I'm not interested in laying any points here..just feel St Mary's wins the game...BTW I took San Diego the first time....St Mary's won't lose 2 of 3 to them this year...

I know some of you SD backers went to bed when the Toreros were down 17. Well you'll wake up to a pleasant surprise! By God, it took 2 OTs but San Diego got it done. I said this team was scrappy and true to form, they fought like kicked mutts.
The Toreros were $$$

Glad I didn't go to bed. Congrats to all of us who cashed in on this gift from the gambling gods.

2nd gift of the week (I had UCLA vs. Stanford). Probably a good time to pull it back as the gods don't like to give out to many miracles.

I did.....& it was WELL WORTH IT.
BJ earned a 5 star meal for that one!
