[Ch Br]

That was a cruel, cruel td.

IF you mean Oklahoma, it was more like pathetic, all they had to do was put one body on the guy and he'd go down... straight up the gut for 21 yards to make the victory look better than it was......that qb cant even throw, so EVERYONE knows what hes there to do...

talk about a shitty day.....

Strike 1 - Mizzou buy the hook to make it -7.5 they win by 7, make half free throws outta 27
Strike 2 - MIss state, buy hook to make it -6, they win by 6, cuz kicker missed god damn xtra pt
Strike 3 - Oklahoma/Iowa.. no offense in 1st, literally. Buy 2h U 26.5, have it covered & Sooners on 4th and 1 on 21 yrd line just trying to run clock out, qb runs up middle....... no one tackles him and lose last second....

YERRRR OUT!!!!!

its days like this that make you wanna hang it up, cuz when ur wrong ur wrong..... like i was with Wva today [BIGTIME]... which is fine.........but to pick the right team and have all this other mickey mouse bullshit happening is ridiculous

im laughing now, i cant help it, but i doubt i will be when i total the week up and the bookie is a knockin on Thurs, then he will be.......Now thats a job i need

the thing is; Oklahoma was just tryin to get the 1st to run out the clock.... its Iowa who quit on the play.. cant blame the guy for running to paydirt....

Ad the end of the Muthafuc*#% day sometimes you have to remind yourself that these are 18-22yr old kids were gambling on here, so they will quit when behind and victory is outta sight; fukk a lot of pros dont have heart....

________________________________________ ________________

Yea Bigd1 i feel ya , gotta shake the shit off, its just one of those things....

Everyday you learn something from doing this [if you have one iota of intelligence] and in the last 2 days i lost 4 bets by .5 after buying the hook

THEREFORE, THE LESSON OF THE LAST 2 DAYS: lol ill never buy less than a whole point again unless its football and the spread is at 6..... and even then its suspect cuz that -5.5 is the fishy underdog line

lol who am i kidding, were all Degenerates here [fam dont go lying to urselves now , why else do we spend countless hours on the form , cuz even us dysfunctionals need a community]

So i can say ill be back for more punishment

And if i dont talk to you tomorrow [who am i fukkin kiddin, ill be back in less than 7 hrs]

HAPPY NEW YEAR FAM

[jrs362]

UFC KILLED me tonight. Made a couple aweful money management prop bets (Length of Gustafsson fight over 7.5 and whether Lesnar gets knocked out in Rnd 1) and took a big chunk of my BR (~20%). Without those 2 loses I would have been up 3-4u on the day. Instead, I lost 9-10. One of these days I'll get lucky and win a bet when I get the bad urge to put more money than I should on a bet I shouldn't make.

Congrats to the fam for a solid day. I tailed most of the plays which kept me from completely sinking.

Let's end the year on a solid note

[CAPP3D OUT]

Nate has the reach advantage and his standup has improved a lot in the past year I wouldn't be surprised if he picks him apart on the feet plus he is pretty crafty on the ground too agree with Escudero and Njokuani.

St. Joes @ Harvard: 12/31 This game is Harvard’s biggest test left on the remainder of their schedule, at the same time for St. Joes, aside from their Holy War battle, this is their biggest game of the season so far. For St. Joes this has been a year of meshing the talent they have had while proving they are a contender in a highly competitive A-10 conference. Their continued confidence from their run in late march in the A-10 tournament last year, in the midst of a frustrating season, has provided them with an ego big enough to compete. Coming into this game St. Joes has won five straight and are 7-1 in their last 8 with big wins over Nova, Creighton, Penn St, and Drexel in that span. With a win on Saturday the hawks will most likely find themself in the top 25 for the first time in years. This season the loss at American has embedded skepticism in my mind of their ability to play on the road. However, I have come to terms with my irrational thinking: I seem to overlook the fact that St. Joes opened its season at Western Kentucky where one year before they got beat by 30 @Hagan Arena and returned the favor this season with a strong win. I seem to overlook their next 3 games after a road win at Western Kentucky where they traveled to Charleston, SC. In Charleston, the hawks pulled off wins vs. Georgia Tech and Tulsa, and a loss vs. Seton Hall stemming from turnovers and Langston Galloway getting into foul trouble early. Directly following the trip to Charleston, the hawks traveled to Iona to face Momo Jones, Scott Machado (one of the best backcourts in the country), and dominant forward Michael Glover. Again the hawks proved they could battle on the road on the end of a five game roady losing in OT to the Gaels. That five road game span was bigger to St. Joes than many might think, it provided the realization that they could actually compete (especially on the road) after a very disappointing season. Also, the five road games allowed this young squad who returned four starters to mesh as a group as well as build on how they left off last season. Looking back I can’t question the hawk’s ability to perform on the road based on one bad game vs. American where they put up only 60 points while averaging 80 pts./game this season. The loss at American also proved the vital roles of Langston Galloway and Tay Jones as they shot 7-27 for a combined 17pts. This was a major let down for the hawks but they moved passed it with five straight wins at home. And here they are now, moving into Saturday with a chance to drop yet another top 25 team. Player for player no doubt in my mind is St. Joes is better but Harvard defines the meaning of a team and they show it through they’re play. One of the best passing teams in the country, they cut and screen as good as anybody. They have good guard play and experience in their front court with Casey and Wright. The hawks will most likely play a match up zone on Saturday but will most likely mix it up throughout the game. Due to Harvard’s screening and cutting ability I see Martelli staying away from playing a lot of man against them. With CJ Aiken inside, Harvard is forced to work around him because any weak lay ups or short jumpers within his range are getting blocked. Many teams underestimate Aiken’s blocking ability until they are down 10 going into the 2nd half and their only points in the paint came when he was not on the floor. As a defender, he is THAT GOOD. He has spent the season ranked #1 in the country in blocks but has dropped to second, with 4.3/game only behind Anthony Davis of Kentucky. As I said before, Harvard has an experienced frontcourt with Wright and Casey both averaging 11pts 8 boards and 11pts 6 boards respectively. However, this threat down low will have problems due to the defense from Aiken and Roberts. Furthermore, Galloway and Jones will need to defend well against the quick guards of Harvard because of their strong ability to knock down open shots. Harvard’s coming off a 50% shooting performance from 3 (10-20) vs. BC so I am assuming they won’t shoot the ball as well on Saturday. For St. Joes, small forward Dee Quarles will be out with an ankle injury, although a starter he is by far the least effective player in the starting line up. Will be interesting to which way Martelli goes with this whether he goes big (Jones, Galloway, Kanacevic, Roberts, & Aiken) or goes smaller with Wilson, Jones, Galloway, Kanacevic, and Aiken. I personally like Martelli bringing in Chris Wilson to start at the point, moving Jones to the 2, Galloway to the 3. With this look, Jones will have much more scoring opportunities which is very important to this hawk team that has tendencies of offensive droughts but have recently been fixing this problem. Jones’ role is vital to this Joes squad, if he gets hot he has the ability to go for 30. Averaging 18 a game, Jones has had some monster performances (29 vs. Creighton, 25 vs. Iona, 38 vs. Seton Hall). The quickness of Jones will be able to get by this aggressive defense opening up looks for himself as well as create open shots for the rest of the team. I don’t worry about this smaller line up due to Galloway’s ability to rebound which will compensate for the smaller squad. Furthermore, Martelli can bring in the high flying, extremely athletic Ron Roberts as well as Papa Ndao off the bench to keep a consistent rotation of size on the floor. Harvard will most likely play an aggressive, man defense which will allow St. Joes to find open looks through back door cuts when they overplay. Kanacevic has been very effective on finding his teammates on back door cuts down low and when he catches at the elbow. Kanacevic is an offensive threat but his passing ability for a big guy is the highlight of his game. He plays physical which allows him to be an effective rebounder while taking on a vocal leader role. To sum up his play you can look @ his play last game vs. Morgan State where he had 12 Assists, 8 rebounds, and 7 blocks.. As well as Aiken has played on the defense end he has continued to build an offensive game. His game is very diverse, as on the defensive end he plays down but on the offensive side he plays on the perimeter and short corner. His jump shot has improved and he has proved he can take a defender off the dribble and pull up. He is now averaging about 12 points a game but has been in double digits 8 out of the last 10 games. Aiken putting up consistent double digits has relieved some of pressure of Jones and Galloway to be the foundation on the offense end. Galloway is never one to stray away from big games; he put up 20 in the Holy War vs. Nova leading the hawks to an impressive victory. He has scored 10+ points in 9 out of their last 10 games. (30 vs. BU, 20 vs. Nova, 23 vs. Tulsa, 17 vs. Iona & PSU, 18 vs. Coppin St, 12 vs. Creighton, etc.) His role on the offense end is crucial and I expect good things from him on Saturday, and I hope he can defend the same way. These St. Joes players are ready, they know how big this game is and I see them going into this game and proving that they can compete with anybody. This team is in need of some respect and they’re hungry for it. Obviously the respect is not there yet as you can look how Vegas views them. St. Joes being number three in the country ATS at 8-1, shows the continued process of proving they’re better than one may think. If Galloway, Wilson, and Jones step up on defense to maintain the guard play of Harvard and Aiken, Roberts, Kanacevic, & Ndao contain the experienced frontcourt down low for Harvard they’ll put themselves in a good spot to take this game. A big performance from Jones and Galloway will be needed, with the help from Aiken and the other role players. Hopefully, the hawks can create turnovers and get out and run the floor like they have all season. One thing I know, Harvard is not ready for the athleticism of the big men for St. Joes on the fast break. This game should be a shootout and one of the biggest battles on Saturday. I think St. Joes is in a good spot here, mark me down for the hawks. St. Joes +6.5 5x St. Joes ml +225 1x

Was thinking along the same lines until I caught this..."Saint Joseph's is 8-26 on the road over the past three seasons, including 1-2 this season." One to American.

[Tgordon777]

good shit lately sonny, missed the plays but nice to see you killin it

got a real suspect line on my Louisville Cardinals today, buy the hook and take the +10 and the over, these games are a shootout and down to the wire, gonna be a hell of a game to watch. Watch Kuric blow up today and the pressure defense frustrate the young cats, i dont see the Cards winning but i see a 4-7 pt UK victory just tough to win at Rupp

they may not be marquette flashy but they are effecient with possessions, move the ball well, shoot lights out from the stripe, and dont turn the ball over

Is good

[NYSportsGuy210]
