problem with backing Carolina against Duke is that you're giving so much away in the coaching department. should be a close game, and in a close game, you're basically taking talent over coaching and home court, i dunno, i lean Duke. BOL with your play and overall today, NC.

Good point. Ol' Roy's a mental midget.

I don't even think Roy can screw this up. UNC matches up SO WELL against Duke, who's biggest weakness is interior defense, and UNC doesn't shoot many threes and goes inside all the time. Really, the only way Duke can win this is if they shoot only 3 pointers and hits above 50% on them. Give Coach K credit, he had a great game plan against UNC in the first game, he knew they were dead meat inside so he focused on setting up as many 3s as possible in his offense.

73% on UNC

Yea, Bugs Bunny should win this one, despite the annoying teenagers and their silly chants, bring it home NC.

Kind of how I feel.

I'm going to take Louisville at 4 and then hopefully use that money to grab the Heels late.

Currently on Iowa, Marquette and Tennessee State. Split with West Virginia and Tulsa early.

Games I'm eyeing the rest of the day:

Colorado State ML
Tennessee +2
Louisville +8.5 (worried about a bad number though)
DePaul +5.5
Detroit -115
Iowa State -1.5
North Carolina ML

Line is -2 now everywhere right?

Yep -- lost all of the value. Even if I take them on the ML, I'm paying -130 or more.

paco · 03-03-12, 06:21 PM

I like the over 154.5

Good luck if you play it paco.

No coincidences · 03-03-12, 06:43 PM

North Carolina -130 (5U)
Iowa State -130 (2U)
Georgia State -115 (2U)
Siena +7 (1U)

Those are my night plays. I also think Butler beats Valpo. May add Louisiana Tech later.

BOL everyone. Wish I'd have locked Carolina in at PK.

paco · 03-03-12, 06:47 PM

I was expecting 20units +

Can't do it at -130.

Completely forgot about the DePaul play.

How do you feel about Gonzaga?

Over is dead.

No real opinion on that one.

There will be plenty of points in this one.

No coincidences · 03-03-12, 07:58 PM

If this hadn't been such a bad year for me in college hoops, I would've hammered this without hesitation instead of missing out on the early PK.

Oh well.

paco · 03-03-12, 08:03 PM

U think the game will still go over? 2nd half total is set at 81. I don't see no fouling at the end in a blowout

154.5

Going to be close.

You need Duke to make this game at least somewhat relevant.

Dexter · 03-03-12, 09:16 PM

great call....

ps: you need to start trusting your initial instinct - it seems to me that your initial feeling/lean is right more then wrong. while 5u is a rarity for you, i feel you were planning something much bigger. if you werent a sports fan, i could understand you reading into line changes more - but you are a big sports fan, so trust yourself.

Owls · 03-03-12, 10:37 PM

This was about as close to a gimme on a big public game as I've ever seen. Duke is going to have trouble against teams in the NCAA who have insde game.

StackinGreen · 03-03-12, 10:47 PM

Duke hasn't been that good all year, really. Totally overrated. Solid? Yes. Top 5 team? Gimme a break. No coincidences was all over it.

8 picks and he only went 4-4, which actually RAISES his winning % and people are still asking his advice? You kids are too stupid for words.
