Good call there SB! Like I said I had no time to look at things. Saturdays are probably the worst days for me because I'm out and about so much. I need to start looking Fri nights because that is the biggest card of the week.

CUSE!! I really want someone to challenge them soon before they get too complacent. Don't me wrong I'm enjoying this season almost like no other but a loss here and there is not a bad thing. There is no BCS in CBB. Being #1 is fun but I have no problem if they were anywhere in the top 10. It's all about where they get placed location wise in the Big Dance and who the possible match-ups will be. As we saw yesterday lot's of ranked teams went down. ACC, SEC and Big Ten are filled with upsets and close games. I really need to start another thread for games like Fla St/ UNC, etc.

checking in today. gg i know we spoke in the past and have liked the cure a while. do you think they cover the 20 today. big number usually comes down to the stripe and we know how they shoot free throws. thoughts?

Sorry I missed you yesterday but thanks for stopping in. I do remember you being a Cuse fan so I was hoping you would drop by. I'll be honest it's hard for me to cap the Cuse because my heart is in it more than my head but it's amazing the see them cover these large spreads. One the best defenses Jimmy B has put out there in some time. Super active, big guys defending around the basket and what seems like an endless bench of high energy players run out at you for 40 minutes.

GTown -6 -110


I guess I'm just always uneasy taking road favs in the Big East but GTown needs to turn it around and against STJ is probably not a bad place to start. GTown has lost 2 in a row after looking very strong. StJ had a big win @ Cinn and then had the half-time lead at Marquette. I thought maybe this team had turned the corner a little bit but then they showed their true colors and got run off the court in the 2nd half. Got to roll with the Hoya's here.

OK G, lets get this one. BOL

[cmdyrds]

amazing they covered again. i too never bet them as my heart gets in the way of my head when it comes to them.

love the gtown pick today as well. only tough part is the game being in the garden, but i'm riding it nevertheless.

I never thought that I would say this but Cuse -13 is looking awefully tempting. Yes, Cuse has had a rough time beating Pitt lately, I actually think they have lost their last 8 meetings? However, this Pitt team is not playing good right now and they are not that deep. This is a different Cuse team from years past, and I just don't see how Jamie Dickson can pull this off against this Cuse D and stop this offense. Cuse typically has a really really rough time with Marquette but they handled a very good Marquette team and won by 9.

Any thoughts on the game?

Have not looked at anything for today. Spent most of yesterday watching the Play-offs and the GMen march on. Ended up getting home late and I'm dragging a little today.

I really have to look at it. You brought up the key thing in that Pitt knows how to beat SU. In fact I've been to some of those games at the Dome in the past few years and it has not been fun. I can't stand Dickson and he should get T-d up every game because he walks about 20 feet past the coach's line all friggin game!

Marq -4.4 -110 .5 Unit bet


I feel like these two teams have been on the same path. Both hot till Big East play started with high hopes and disappointing results so far. I have to give the edge to the home team.

[isotopes]

Agreed, Jamie Dickson is way to animated on the sideline. I wish that Pitt had stepped up and won some games because after watching them play early on this year it was quite apparent that they were way overrated pre-season and that they would get some nice beat downs this year by better big east teams. 13 points seems very doable tonight by Cuse, especially since Rutgers just beat them by 22 at rutgers. Hope Cuse wins by 35 for some payback.

Marquette game should be good, they have been alot more consistent than Louisville has this year. GL in that one, hopefully the Louisiville team that can't play bball will show up today for your bet.

it's Dixon

[BoutDemCowboys]

Took the over 135 in this marquette vs. L'ville mathcup! BOL And with the Cuse game I'm thinking about playing the o/u. Pitt always plays tough against Cuse, Big East and all.... I think Cuse wins but 13 ehhh, I just think there is better games out there.......

[BoutDemCowboys]

Oh and dont think just because Rutgers beat Pitt, that this game is easy..... We are talkin Big East Basketball here, Rutgers came to play, and even though I dont think Pitt is that good this year, they will show up!

[cmdyrds]

for what it's worth. rutgers at the RAC is pretty tough and nd away from home is just so so. i'd lay the points or maybe play the M/L and take the RU. other's thoughts?

[GGPLAYER]

it's Dixon

Your right I copied what I saw in the other guys post and did not even pay attention. You got me. Good job, brah. Another solid contribution by you into this thread. Dude your a f**king joke. No matter how you spell it the guy still tracks all over the court during the game.

Going with the tough home court advantage here so I agree with you cmdyrds.

Hope the over hits. I'm not touching SU. Just too many bad memories regarding Pitt. I'll watch the game and if they blow them out so be it. But I'm not putting my money on a Pitt team.

[BoutDemCowboys]

^^^ Completely Agree

[isotopes]

It is Dixon but I like my spelling, Dickson, way better, hope cuse wins by 40 for some payback from years past

[GGPLAYER]

Nice little spurt there by Marq. Lou is hanging tough....kind of why I only made this a .5 unit play.

[BoutDemCowboys]

Wow was on the edge of my seat at the end of Marquette vs. L'ville! Had the Over 135! Cash it! Really want to bet the Cuse game, my head is telling me no, my heart is saying yesssssss!

Just cashing*in day after day it's*been a nice couple of weeks.
I'm going to try to cover my tease with the Moneyline play on Rutgers but the line is a little too high right now.

[GGPLAYER]

Thanks SB! Glad your along for the ride.

[BoutDemCowboys]

Had to make a little bet for the Cuse game! Taking the under 136 here. Cuse zone D = Lights out! Gonna slow pitt down

[GGPLAYER]

Great start boys! We need a dunk counter!

[BoutDemCowboys]

Or a block counter! MElo is way too big of a presence in the middle of that 2-3 zone for Pitt!

Could not ask for a better night. SU finally beat a Pitt team and I went 2-0 on my plays. On a nice little run here to help pad the bankroll. I'll check out the GTown game later. Might take the night off. No need to force things at this point.
