I'm 14 - 2 based on no knowledge of the game whatsoever and I have Utah State, so I've got your back Arch

big difference between picking bracket winners and betting big $ on underdog winners Dave.... Pressure betting and scared money is way different from filling out a bracket....

I got 10.40 on Utah St. and I'm about to watch it get flushed down the toliet.... I thought of 10 reasons not to back utah st. AFTER hitting the submit button...

watch mcneal and matthews combine for 60 points today...they are due to hit alot of three's after their last game..... Haywood is gonna dominate down low.... oh gosh what have I done...

I'm all over Marquette in this game. The WAC sucked this year.

utah st? why? and 10.50?

Not looking good for Utah St. Marquette is too athletic.

**Cheme82** · 03-20-09, 12:18 PM

I'm rooting with you too. Although I took them +6. Right now even those don't seem enough. Hopefully they come out hot in the second half. College basketball is weird, a lot of times a team is dominating and after the half they just fall apart. Hopefully that happens to Marquette.

I wouldn't really say that Marquette is dominating, but they've been playing good defense and not giving Utah State very many shots. I watched St. Mary's and Omar Samhan beat up on Utah State, so I have no doubts that Haywood will continue dominating down low in the second half. Marquette -4 for me...I'm pretty confident they'll keep it together.

Welcome aboard, tbill and thanks for the thought.

**Chi_archie** · 03-20-09, 12:32 PM

Oh I agree there is a huge difference... I didn't mean to infer they were the same at all. I was just saying that if my BS luck keeps up, you'll be golden. And that I'll be rooting for you.

Well they definitely need production from somebody other than Quayle. Wilkinson's put up a few points, but he needs to be a force down low. He's supposed to be their superstar player and he's getting beat up down there. Other than that, just better ball movement. Marquette's much quicker and stronger, so unless shot selection, ball movement, and staying away from useless turnovers happen in the second half, I don't really see anything changing.

I'm a huge St. Mary's fan and without Patty Mills St. Mary's was still faster than Utah State, and if you watched that team without Mills, they are NOT fast without Mills. I don't even know how Utah State's kept it this close with a Big East team like Marquette.

Marquette is trash

I didn't have Utah State ML, but I had them in my brackets.

**Chi_archie** · 03-20-09, 02:09 PM

yeah i had them in many brackets and the sbr one i think...... oh well

at least I didn't lose money thanks to my spread wager being bigger... but it still hurts to come up just a bit short with a dog, like last night with VCU.... those hurt a bit more...so close.... yet NO consolation prize
