i think that the play there is Texas or the over. Texas has been better at home, and this should be about the time of the season when the Horns come together and make a minor push after hearing so many bash them as serial underachievers. there will be a shitload of fouls in this game, many of them just plain stupid.

never been to Mardi Gras (or NOLA for that matter) but it's on my list of things i must do. i'm a big Confederacy of Dunces fan and every time i open that book i want to head straight to NO.Comment -
Hell the final four is in NOLA this year too..I bought mine asa xmas gift for me..not great seats tho..haha..Comment -
that's going to be sweet. they've had some great tourney games there. personally, i have a really hard time going to sporting events when i have money on them. i prefer to keep my temper and the unsightly results in my basement and confine my embarrassment for my actions to the dog. he's very forgiving.Comment -
3* Fairfield/Marist over 133 - LOSER
12 point 1H from Marist really hurt this one. almost took 2H over 68, but passed. pointless Marist fouls put the 2H over by a point.
keep-up games now 28-23-1. bah.Comment -

loser by the hook at St. John's as DePaul inexplicably didn't foul when they should've (as compared to their normal spastic flurry of fouls at the end of the game) almost led to me breaking something.Comment -

scratch Kent State as a lean. did a little research on Justin Greene's ankle and the prognosis is not positive. even if he plays, he will not be 100%. while Kent has the depth to play without Greene, i'm concerned that Greene will play at far less than 100% which actually could hurt Kent more than simply going without him. at the very least, i get the feeling that, at this moment, Kent has no idea what they can expect from Greene tonight.Comment -

Any thoughts on your buckeyes tonight Biff? I think they roll Illinois but I'm torn between the 1H and games lines
Comment -
i like OSU 1H -8', not sure yet if i'm going to play it. game looks good too, but if you check out the OSU 1Hs off a loss, they can come out really tough and run teams off the court (Minnesota comes to mind). BOL whatever you decide.Comment -
Biff, I like your NW 1h play. GL tonightComment -
thanks, Ayo. i think that Northwestern will come out guns blazing because they need this one so bad, and UM might start slow after big win over OSU. like this better than banking on Northwestern sustaining for the entire game, they've had some 2H collapses. BOL to you tonight too.Comment -
definitely warming to OSU 1H -8' simply because they've come out so well in the 1H after their losses this season:
lost @ KU, led SC Upstate by 9 at half of next game (unlined)
lost @ IU, led UNL by 24 at half of next game (1H line -12)
lost @ Illinois, led Indiana by 21 at half of next game (1H line -7')
lost to MSU at home, led @ Minnesota by 12 at half of next game (1H line -4')
not difficult to see OSU up by 9+ at half tonight, esp against rudderless Illini with revenge (second meeting with IU offers nice comparison).Comment -
Just got done looking at these stats as well. Tailing you on OSU 1H and NW 1H. I like OSU for the game too and may make a small play on that as well. BOL with your plays bro.
EDIT: I forgot to add how much I think the revenge factor adds to this play as well. Matta may not be the greatest in-game coach...but I think he is a pretty good motivator. He'll have em up for this game...just like they were with IU after the tough loss to them on the road.Comment -
I agree with you i took NW moneyline yesterday. Important game for NW currently sitting on the bubble.some revenge and a fired up crowd should cause problems for the wolverines who aren't in the greatest spot coming off the win vs OSU. Not to mention NW shoots the shit out of the ball at home. Shurna has been killin it recently and as a senior he should be ale to fire up the wildcats tonight. I think they give their best effort. Theyve seen the 1-3-1 already this season so they shouldn't have too much trouble with a few days prep. I like the first half bet as well , will probably add it to my card.Comment -
BOL, GoBlue. who says that UM and OSU fans can't work together to turn a profit? not i, that's for sure. i'm not on OSU 1H yet but i may well be. discussing it with some of my buddies over email right now. totally agree re: Matta. he's nothing special as an in-game coach, but he does prep them well.Comment -
agree with your assessment. i should've booked ML last night. another thing that helps is that, generally speaking, the better players for teams get more time in the 2H relative to the 1H. however, NU has no choice but to play Shurna and Crawford as many minutes as they can handle. that's part of what i think has made NU a good 1H team this season but led to some 2H collapses: the other day against Purdue, Shurna was dead tired but Carmody couldn't afford to rest him.Comment -
Very true Shurna and Crawford both playing about 35 min a game. Only difference is there's 8 other guards that see time the can help Crawford out when he needs a breather while only 2 other big men that can give Shurna some rest.Comment -
Sharp post right here...Shurna has played 92%(!) of the possible minutes this season.
Cobb is back for this game as well. While he surely won't light up the nets...his defensive presence should make a difference. He had 5 steals in the first matchup against Burke.Comment -
Illini road 1Hs this season: 2-7 ATS
OSU conference game home 1Hs*: 4-3 ATS (started like a house of fire, covering first 4 by an average of almost 10 points per; failed to cover 3 straight 1Hs against UM, Purdue, Sparty, but those teams are a class (or more) better than Illinois). i could probably make an argument that the 3 non-covers will help to motivate tonight. i can just hear Matta smacking his gum and reminding the guys about how they've started slowly at home recently and ended up in a dogfight with Purdue and lost to Sparty.
*seems kind of pointless to consider 1Hs vs Lamar and Miami-OH and such.Comment -
i love Shurna. have a couple of good friends who went to NU and want nothing more than to see Shurna in the tourney. hope it happens, but tonight is huge for that.
Cobb definitely solid. NU can always use a guy who is athletic to help on boards and bigs. with Shurna, Crawford and Hearn (and Sobelewski to lesser extend), they have offense. they need Sobolewski to avoid TOs, Crawford to keep his composure, Shurna to be Shurna, Hearn to contribute, and the rest to keep UM off the boards. fortunately, UM doesn't force many TOs or get many offensive boards.Comment -
IMO the last Illinois game sent a clear message. Before the game I thought 1 of 2 things was going to happen. They were either going to rally around their coach and his post game comments or they were going to quit on him. I think the results send a clear verdict.Comment -
