OVERALL RECORD (93-82-1) +15.9 UNITS
Tomorrow's plays were just released at my book, so I went ahead and made my plays.
*****LOUISVILLE +2.5
-No one knows better how to beat Boeheim's 2-3 zone than Rick Pitino. One thing that people overlook is just how easy of a road schedule Syracuse has played to this point. NC St, Depaul, Providence, Villanova, Cincinnati, and St Johns are their 6 wins and the only quality team and tough road game in Notre Dame was a loss (without Melo). Louisville is a difficult place to play and I think they are starting to play their best ball right now. I don't bet against Pitino often this time of year and tomorrow will be no different.
*****KANSAS ST +3.5
-I find it hard not to bet Kansas St in a big Rivalry game that the really need to build their NCAA resume. Kansas has changed my opinion of just how good they are by beating Baylor and coming very close to beating Missouri on the road. I do think that Kansas St has something that neither Baylor or Missouri have that will give the Jayhawks trouble. Baylor has size, but is soft and Missouri doesn't have enough size. Kansas St has size and is very physical, which I think will give Robinson and Withey trouble. This game will be determined on just how physical the refs let the teams play, but the fact that Kansas St is at home is to their advantage. The place should be electric and I think Kansas St will be ready to play.
**BAYLOR -8.5
-Iowa St has trouble when playing quality opponents on the road and Baylor fits the bill. Their only wins are against Texas AM, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma. Baylor's struggles at home have been against very good teams with their only losses to Kansas and Missouri. I'm just not convinced that Iowa St can play well enough on the road against a good team in Baylor to stay within single digits.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL
