    Texas A&M +5.5 *YES*

    TEXAS A&M (22-8) VS LSU (24-8)
    NCAA TOURNAMENT - Second Round -Jacksonville, FL



    A&M 69.1 / 60.4
    LSU 74.9 / 64.7
    --------------

    As you know I have made alot of money with
    Texas A&M this year! I am looking to make some
    more. Texas A&M is an underrated team that can
    give anyone a game. In there last 2 games against
    Texas they won by 3 then barely lost by 4.

    So if they can give Texas a game or two. I am sure
    this team with a great Defense can avoid
    losing by 6.

    Also keep in mind that in 9 out of there last 10 games
    Texas A&M gave up less than 60pts a game. Great
    Defense and 5.5 points. Sounds good to me.

    Books opened this game LSU -3.5, that means the
    bookmaker obviously likes Texas A&M..

    I understand the play but I'm on the other side today. Possibly the best team from what is looking like the the best Conference in the tourney against a second tier team from the underperforming Big XII. I don't think its Texas A&M that gets exposed today but actually more exposing of Syracuse (if that makes any sense) and the injustice of the 5 seed they recieved.

    I watched LSU/Iona and Iona gave LSU fits with their pressure defense. Iona could have won that game or at least covered but they came out in the second half and turned the ball over on first 3 or 4 possesions which LSU converted into enough points to tie the game and Iona was just wore down the rest of the game. A&M can keep the pressure on the whole game and muck it up enough to keep it close and get the cover if not the straight up win.

    I wouldn't take A&M +10 in this one. GL gv, as I hope it hits on 5, but I think you are backing the wrong side here.

    Razz? You surprised me with that comment, I just
    noticed right now. If anyone was going to disrespect
    A&M I really thought you would of been the last person
    to do so.

    Is this a serious statement? Everyone besides Baby Shaq played their worst games of the season, and LSU still won.

    The next match up should be a good one. I dont think S.Williams will get his way in the paint against LSU. So it will be up to ReDick to hit all of his deep tosses for Duke. Should be a interesting game.

    I see they have Duke -6. I hope the public bets that up more, so we get some real good value with LSU.

    I'm taking LSU + the points for 5 units, and ML for 2 units. The reason: Well, LSU is the better team, but also, if I lose both, I would be up a little over 40 units for the year, and would call it a season.
    Still trying to decide what the line is going to do. I can't see the line rising, but you never know in a Duke game. Any thoughts would be nice.

    You really think LSU was that much better than A&M?

    You are being so biased!!!!! I am not going to say that LSU
    was or wasn't better but they were down by 2pts with
    3.8 secs left and made a game winning lucky shot to
    win the game. Also A&M was +5.5 so yes Razz I am
    dead serious and dead right!!

    I wouldnt say it was a lucky shot, but more of a clutch shot. He had a good look at it and it wasnt like it was a desperation shot from 45 feet out. Now that would be lucky.

    Both teams are good teams, and I think A&M would also give Duke problems. But I think LSU matches up better with Duke, because they have a inside game that can handle S.Williams.

    I think that line could move up Razz, as Duke is a big time public team and the money sould flow in on them. But who knows, I like the +6 as of right now, because LSU has a good shot at winning outright.

    I agree that LSU has a better cHance vs Duke because if Duke
    makes there shots I think LSU could match there Offense better
    than A&M. I hope Duke loses.

    I'll just say this: I'd take LSU -8 if they played tomorrow. They simply weren't prepared, as they overlooked A&M for whatever reason.

    Darrell Mitchell had, for him, a terrible game, game-winning shot notwithstanding.
    Tyrus Thomas, the best freshman in the SEC (if not the country), missed 6 shots within five feet of the goal.
    Lazarre forgot to even show up.
    Tasman Mitchell, LSU's best pure shooter, didn't make a shot.
    Glen Davis was amazing as always.

    A&M is a good team, but they aren't even close to LSU's level.

    We can argue about this for hours. I will just say I do
    not think so. I respect your opinion though.

    Congratulations on the win, though bud. I focused on the numbers too much, and ignored the situation - and, as you asssumed, A&M was more focused on and prepared for this game.

    LSU is a very good team. I would not be surprised if they beat Duke.
    Razz did you see the Wisc-Mil game? I saw it but what did you see?

    Why did that game piss me off so much. Why did I see those players
    completely just give up uncontested layups for 5 mins?

    I still can't figure that game out. Florida has played two soft defensive teams, and they will get beat next time out (or all my brackets are ******).
