That Iowa state game was one of the sloppiest games I've ever watched. 50 fouls. WV defense is wild with ball pressure and forced so many turnovers. You hafta be an extremely strong team mentally and be able to pass to go in and beat them there. Luckily Iowa state was deep enough to weather the storm.

Let's have some fun today

Yeah that west va swarming defense is the truth. Sleeper final four team right there.

I think we cover by a basket or two.

Spartans still way too inconsistent for me to bet though. Haven't bet on them since I went to that Texas southern game.

I like the OVER in Stanford vs. USC....might tease it down and tease the points down in Denver vs. Colts and take the OVER in both.

Rough weekend.

81-57-7 (59%)

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-13-15, 01:22 PM

I got a good card today and lots of other good games on TV tonight.

Indiana -7 vs Penn State
IU big man Mosquera-Perea is out, which apparently moved the line by 1 or 1.5 points. His presence will be missed, but his pt has actually been winding down while Troy Williams is becoming a huge contributor down low. Yogi and Blackmon can run the show tonight as IU shoots much better than PSU, and coach Crean will want revenge from their home loss to PSU last season.

VCU -3 @ Rhode Island
Two teams with similar records but much different levels of talent. The VCU Rams should turn over the RI Rams often and dominate the boards. VCU is hungry for first place and should get it done tonight.

UNI -8 @ Bradley
Huge mismatch here. Great defense vs a struggling offense. UNI can easily win by 25 tonight, as their last two wins were by an average of 20pts, and they beat Bradley by dd last season and they've only gotten better.

DePaul +7 vs Georgetown
They got the size to give G-town problems. This many points at home to a team I think can win? Easy. DePaul struggles against the perimeter shooting teams, and they play well against teams that like to play in the paint. The Hoyas lean more towards the latter, and road wins are tough to come by in the BEast.

Boise State -5 vs UNLV
This is a hot shooting team at home. Senior guard Marks has filled the hole left by injured Drmic. BSU is coming off a tough 4 game losing streak and an offensively struggling UNLV team is perfect for them to break the streak. When the rebels lose they tend to drop by dd, especially on the road in MWC.

Debating Uconn +1 @ Tulsa... Any thoughts on this??

**red12sox** · 01-13-15, 05:35 PM

Love uconn. They have better talent and the better coach. Not to mention the best player on the court in boatright,

Was a little afraid of Tulsa's backcourt but boatright should be able to guard Shaq Harrison. Kevin Ollie sure is a great coach, and Frank Haith is kind of a loser, especially in 'big games'.

I looked more into rebounding and Uconn is gonna own the boards.

Uconn -1 @ Tulsa

**EDDIE MONEY LINE** · 01-13-15, 09:42 PM

I was all over WV today. Surprised to see u didn't like that game as u were first to mention to me about how nasty their D is. Especially at home. That Iowa st game turned me on

**foti122** · 01-13-15, 09:56 PM

wow northern iowa unreal they blew that lead.

**the tross** · 01-13-15, 10:35 PM

Dam you're good Dom. Thanks for the winners today much appreciated.

**chipshipley** · 01-14-15, 02:11 AM

killin em

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-14-15, 04:20 PM

Georgia Tech +4 vs Notre Dame
This game went into double OT a week and a half ago in South Bend. GT gets revenge at home tonight, as the Irish struggle in their second road game of the season, and first game without their starting forward Auguste. His loss is huge as he is their 2nd leading scorer & rebounder, and tallest player down low. Meanwhile Jerian Grant has been in a slump. GT can pound it down low and get points in the paint and dominate the boards even more than they already did last time.

Iowa State +2 @ Baylor
I like Gathers but the rest of the Baylor squad is unimpressive. Hogue can challenge Gathers down low with his size and aggressiveness, and the rest of the Cyclones should be able to knock down 3s against the Baylor zone d.

Wyoming (-125) vs SDSU
Two great defensive clubs. But only one offensively efficient club (wyoming). They've gotten the best of the Aztecs the last few meetings up in the high elevation, and this year's SDSU team isn't good enough offensively to win on the road, especially against good teams.

**foti122** · 01-14-15, 05:12 PM

Really like these picks tonight. I am also on elon at home, They have played some good teams and have done well and coc is not that good of a team.

Right, CoC is really bad, I've faded them several times this season. If I had to bet this game I'd be on same side as you. Elon is still a 'bottom tier' team and I don't usually play favs from that level of bball. Goodluck though!

**EDDIE MONEY LINE** · 01-14-15, 07:02 PM

I Love Iowa state

Turned on the game ten mins after it started... Rough start to say the least.

Good thing they play 40 minutes tho. Game of runs.

Hopefully they can get it together

**BigNik** · 01-14-15, 09:55 PM

What a shitty last 3 minutes

**EDDIE MONEY LINE** · 01-14-15, 10:03 PM

Cut it to 2 and went sour. Not taking care of the ball. Niang playing like a bitcch lately. Lot of time left. The depth gotta prevail here. Fuk

**BigNik** · 01-14-15, 10:07 PM

Only took them 8 minutes to pin back 16 points. Plenty of time!!

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-14-15, 10:11 PM

Missed that -2.5 2H line. Also missed a big opportunity on Nevada -.5 2H... Can they really lose by 43? They only scored 12 in 1H lol. Oh well.

**EDDIE MONEY LINE** · 01-14-15, 11:06 PM

Wow. And that's how it's done. Love it, Iowa st. with the ill back door cover. Should've won. Oh well, got money. Nice night Dom

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 01-14-15, 11:09 PM

Great call on ISU DOM

**BigNik** · 01-14-15, 11:18 PM

Spewing I got greedy and took the money line

**DOM_Toretto** · 01-14-15, 11:19 PM

WOW! What a cover! I kept thinking the whole time, down 17, down 14, back down 12 again, that the Cyclones would come back. Naz Long was hitting huge deep 3s and clapping and getting his team going. Finally Niang found a bit of a rhythm. Just... WOW.

Greedy side of me says we should've pulled the trigger on ISU -2.5 2H bet lol

**Fat_Stax** · 01-14-15, 11:26 PM

Solid (close-call) covers with both Iowa State and Georgia Tech. Nice.

**grombom125** · 01-15-15, 01:20 AM

Almost perfect again Dom keep doing your thing. Who woulda thought sdsu would decide to start hitting free throws?
