Hi, it's VR again. Good Saturday morning, this is alot of fun today with all the games.
With no-play yesterday (Friday) our underfeated month is still going.

Today were going to start our day with and early play in the Horizen League.
There's a new Viking atop the mountain !

Butler @ Cleveland State -3

These two teams played a few weeks ago, Butler gave Clev. ST a beat down. 79-56 !
Today Feb.5 is a totally different time for these two teams, Butler is coming into this game on a 3 game losing streak. Cleveland State is coming into this match-up on a 6 game winning streak, also at home CSU have won 16 straight, (3 last season ).

As for home court advantage, Cleveland State are wearing "New Black Uniforms", the crowd will be in a "Black-Out". But this is no-where near why Cleveland State wins today.

Cleveland State has to win today, Period ! The Vikings must win today ! Overall CSU are 21-3, 10-2 in-conference. This is the biggest game in the history of this program since 1986 when the Vikings were 29-4 and made it too the Sweet 16. By the way there honoring the "86" team at halftime.
In a conference call yesterday, Head Coach Gary Waters called this game "Pay-Back" !

Cleveland State's offense is called "3-G Offense", they run a 3 guard set. The leader Cole Norris who's scoring 20 a game, Trevon Harmon, Jeremy Montgomery are the other very good point guards. The Vikings defense is playing real good at this time also, Charlie Woods in the paint is blocking a boat load of shots, VS. Valpo this past week he had 5 blocks.

As for Butler, wow what difference from last season. There point guard Ronald Nored has 5 stitches in his hand and he's not 100%, if he even starts. There offense isn't playing well at all, there defense is just getting kicked around. I feel this is a great time for Cleveland St.

As I pointed out, Cleveland St has a lot of "Mo-Joe" coming into today. There home, the arena is "Sold-Out", the line is 3. Let's a nice "W" to start off this saturday.

Cleveland State -3
Money Line -165

Take the ML

[BiffTFinancial]

love this play, and glad to see that you're on it. i was too much of a sissy to trust that it would go back to 3' so i missed it at 3. oh well. should be a great game. this will be the biggest crowd at the Wolstein Center in years and Waters has these guys laser-focused on controlling their destiny for the #1 seed in the conference tourney. BOL to you today.

I'm sure you use a local ! If I were you I would tell him to take a walk !

[I'mAWinner]

I'm working on ONE more play for today. I will post around halftime or so.

[badbyzdmx]

[peterpan19]

[PRiiMO]

hmmmmmmmmmmm

[Love The Action]

Good luck...couldn't get -3 so sat the the CLE ST game out...I liked the pick and was eyeing that game so good luck. Looking forward to seeing your second pick...thanks.

[i4jelway7]

missed getting this one in. .

[mandude]

Dude the commentating on this Clev St game is horrible! How did this guy get a job? Wow.

[AMcBoarder]

Hey VR what time does the Hilton open up cbb lines in the morning? Red Rock posses me off. 8 am and still not accepting bets for 9 am games.

[sammy85]

Thanks W

[BrewMaster]

Somehow I missed this thread... was already on Cleveland St. though so no harm! Let's get this one

[I'mAWinner]

Dude the commentating on this Clev St game is horrible! How did this guy get a job? Wow.

His name is Charlie Neal, he was just hired by ESPN. In the past he worked for NBC doing College Football in the SWAC Confence ( all-black schools ). I you recall, he's big with Gambling vs. Miss. Valley St. stuff like that.

The female is Kara Lawson she usaully does female college hoops, she also plays for SA Stars WNBA. She played college hoops at Tenn.

[jrk]

WOW, one field goal in 8 min. They could of been blowing this team out.

[I'mAWinner]

33-29 Butler @ halftime

If Cleveland State don't wake up and play faster, harder, there's zero bounce in there step. Our winning streak is going down if they don't play like they can !!!!!

I'm very mad, I never get mad. But Cleveland St is just giving this garbage away.

[hondo5]

I agree man. Cleveland St should be dominating this game but they are obviously not in the mood to play today. What is going on with their guard number 33???? Dude is absolutely worthless.

[BathingApe]

I woke up late so I like this half time line of -4. Gives me the ml at even value.

[jn0425]

hey winner, what you think about wichita st -16 at home vs. illinois state. I know illinois state is pretty bad, and wichita state is good at pulling away in the second half. you lay the points or take the points in this one? thanks!

[iMxth3xbossx5000]

Whats the Halftime play? I took Cleve;and State -3.5 for -105

[Regul8er]

Would you recommend buying out of this one? Cleveland St is -3.5 2nd half, so take Butler, and break even on the ML bet???
Butler is playing much harder then I expected, and the Vikings look shellshocked playing on National TV.

[Regul8er]

Didnt buy out...left it alone....cmon Vikings...WAKE UP!

[AMcBoarder]

How many 2 footers are these guys gonna miss?

[tonislug]

no negative energy, be patient!!!!

[Regul8er]

Im trying to stay positive here. Butler just always seem to have an answer to every Cleveland St score to keep ahead. Hopefully the home team has one nice run left in them.

[Bcatswin]

Winner got another one?
