    Good luck my friend, I like Villanova to cover a 4 1/2 as well, hope this panes out better than the marquette game did for you yesterday! Game burned me yesterday too.

    Yea Marquette really disappointed me, but yesterday would have actually been profitable if I didn't feel the need to take Lakers Under, what a gross game... Anyway this one, I would not reccomend anyone to take, no special angles or reasons for this play,,, I just personally feel Providence is not good, and Villanova is very solid... This kind of reasoning usually leads to losers.

    Amounts aren't important, only thing that mattters is if you win.. I know guys that bet 10k a game and lose consistantly, and I know some young kids that bet 10 bucks a game and do nothing but win...

    So you got 2 gamblers the 10 dollar bettor that wins 100 a year and the 10k bettor that loses 100k a year... Who would you rather be? I know I'd rather be the 10 dollar guy.

    Your absolutely correct it is this point that I couldn't accept, I believed that collapse was the exception and not the rule, now I realize their end of game strategy is pathetic.

    If you watched the game, you watched Marquette go on huge run in 2nd half, preasuring the ball and fast breeaking looking for early offense... As soon as they got up 5 points, they went away from that and start to take the clock down to 10 seconds then try to chuck up desperation shot... I can't blame it all on the players, alot of this had to do with coaching.

    Nova has played well on the road in Big East play, and Providence isn't particularly good at defense. I like this too even at -6.

    This was the exact reason why I took it, as I said I don't know if its a good reason, but still a reason... I bought to -4.5 because in baskets numbers like 7 and 5 are extremely important because of fouls at the end... Could be up 1, then win by 5 with the garbage fouls.

    Villanova is 7-0 against the spread in their last 7 games I would be very careful with this one. Check out Goalline Bob's thread about these situations, very good insight to these situations. Good luck tonight on you're play.

    At home they are much better on defense. If you you look at the numbers thay have played very well on defense in conference games at home. Goodluck tonight but I got PC +6 this morning.

    It's only first half, they can't shoot all the game so bad ( 3 points 1-9 (11.1%) )

    I'm not saying its a winner, but it is still very early, they are shooting 21% from the field, have been terrible from the free throw line, and don't look to have much sense of urgency, I think they will wake up in the second half... As long as Marshon Brooks doesn't decide to bang some heartbreaking 3's

    I agree rebel, thats what I'm saying their heads aren't in the game at the moment, Jay wright is solid coach though, I know his brother in law, he should light the fire under them in 2nd half... Atleast i hope

    I cant decide on that BYU game.. I really want to go with BYU -5 but SDST size scares me. but size wont matter if BYU is hitting their outside shots like they usually do... R u going with BYU ??

    Yea I'm going to by the points though... I don't even know why I took nova tonight, Providence is usually my type of play, but let last nights Marquette loss, effect me,, Yes I'm going BYU gonna try to by to 3.5. Jimmer Freddette is probably best player in the nation.
