Like Xavier on Friday. Possibly NC State. Not interested in the other two games.

Like Marquette, like the idea of waiting to bet them 2nd half even more. Given the teams' tendencies I think Florida jumps out in the 1st half and takes a small lead into the break and you'll be able to get Marquette at + points for the game 2H.

Not really interested in Cincinnati or NC State anymore.

Only play I've made so far is Marquette -1.5 for 3U.

No totals plays for me, but it's hard not to like Cincinnati/Ohio State under 129 given the strength of these defenses.

Jayvegas420 · 03-22-12, 01:33 AM

So, why didn't you pick a team from the Big East?

im on wisky LARGE here just don't think the cuse gets it done without there main big man, there not a great halfcourt team and thats where i think this will be played as wisky takes care of the ball

strongly agree on Marquette. strongly disagree on Cuse. agree somewhat on Cincy (under in the play on that game and i don't bet against OSU), disagree somewhat on MSU (but i think that the UL/MSU over is the best play in that game anyway). BOL tonight, NC.

Thanks Biff. I don't think you could go wrong with the Cincy under and the Syracuse under.

I'm still contemplating a play on Syracuse -3. It goes against everything I normally back, but I'm not a Wisconsin believer at all. Boeheim is a choke artist in the Sweet 16 though -- that's why I'm hesitant. Even without Melo, Syracuse should win and cover here.

i have some marquette ml and was gonna get some cinncy but bodog squares are all over those two teams. not looking good for either...

Like the plays NC, I really wanted to take FLA with how well they're playing but only thing I was able to do was put them in a 7 pt teaser. Figure Marquette is playing just as well and the game should be within single digits either way.

Marquette -1.5 (3U)
Syracuse -3 (1U)

Should be a good game. Like Wisconsin, it's hard to gauge what will happen with such a perimeter-oriented team. If the Badgers and/or Gators get hot, I'm 0-2.

BiffTFinancial · 03-22-12, 06:02 PM

BOL, NC. i'm on Badgers +3' but hey, one of us will walk away happy!

You too Biff. Like I said, I'm a Big Ten fan and want to take Wisconsin. I just can't. If they had any kind of post presence, I'd nail it. They better be on from distance.

Balco10 · 03-22-12, 06:07 PM

Like Whisky here. Cuse plays zone D which is good for Whisky as they have many who can shoot the 3 ball.
Also the under 120 looks good.
Cinny matches up well with the Ohio State. --Sullinger presents a matchup problem for most team's because few squads have a physical presence with the type of size and strength to deal with Sullinger. That’s not the case whatsoever with the Bearcats, who have a guy in Yancy Gates who won’t be bullied in the lane by any other player in America.

Thursday's leans:

Marquette -1.5
Syracuse -3.5
Cincinnati +8
Louisville +5

Like the first two for sure. Just small leans on the latter two for now.

I only like Cincy out of these picks. GL though.

I like the Louisville pick also. I just don't want to play too many games. I am so much more profitable playing 1-3 games a day if that.

Agree. I'm always good until about 3 minutes before tip. Then I get the itch.

2 more units on Marquette -1.

This might be a disaster.

No coincidences · 03-22-12, 10:28 PM

Really tempted to take Florida +2 2H. Isn't looking good for Marquette at all. They look as flat as MSU.

Jayvegas420 · 03-23-12, 12:34 AM

Best game of the tourney.
Sadly this is the end for Syracuse.

No coincidences · 03-23-12, 04:59 PM

When will I ever learn -- -1 or -2 are no-man's land for bets. Just stupid.

Tonight:

Kansas -8 (4U)
Xavier +6.5 (1U)
Ohio +11 (1U)

2daBank · 03-23-12, 05:03 PM

love Ku..havnt decided if im playing anything else tonight but lean your way on both.. GL brother..

fading this fruitcake to the bank

Betn247 · 03-23-12, 05:09 PM

just based on last night and tonights picks that seems highly likely

FTR, I wouldn't touch Kentucky/Indiana with a million foot pole. Kentucky has the talent to run them out of the gym, but if you want to lay 9 given Calipari's NCAA track record, well....

No coincidences · 03-23-12, 06:14 PM

Adding a unit to X both spread and ML +245.
