Sunday plays

[Box and one]

Lehigh-American { o boxes}
My book has it OTB
Think the line is Lehigh-6 over American
I know both these these teams since they play Army in the Patriot League.
Lehigh has Rowland who is the PAT pl of the Yr.Olivera is real good too.Mgebroff is a 6'10 kid that takes up space with his height.But not a scorer.
But Lehigh struggled with Army.
The game is played at lehigh where they are 23-3 the past 2 yrs.
American is loaded with East Europe kids from Yugo.Ingram is there best player.
Lehigh has lost a few games lately but handled American the 2 times it played them.
I'm passing on the game but if the line was +7 I'd take American to keep it close.


Oklahoma St -1.5 over Texas ********
No way the Cowboys loose this today.Will be back later.

I watched Cal North comeback and almost beat Pacific.Loved it.Haven't seen a 1-3-1 half court zone and a straight 1-3-1 zone in a long time.
I love 1-3-1's.Cal North drove pacific crazy with it.And I only put down one box taking Cal North +7.
be back later

GL BOX!

 

[jmizeus]

ur right they did confuse pacific. but later they switched back, i have to fault pacifics hc for there bad play @ the end of that game. with about 7 minutes left he went into a stall hc offense and why? ur team was scoring w/ease until they switched to the 1-3-1,but when they went back he didnt want to run no-more? seemed like he thought they had a 15 point lead and wanted to take time off the clock? i didnt play it but did watch the whole game, but seemed to me poor job of hc'ing

 

[twofingers]

agree mize. Bad job of coaching

 

[Box and one]

I fell asleep...maybe with 10 minuts left in the game.When you only have one box on it your entitled to fall asleep...and I won.Of course if I had 4 **** boxes on it I would of stayed up and Pacific would of covered.

Mize,did cal North ever tie it up or take the lead?

 

[Another Steve]

They had the lead with about 5 to go. I needed the Pac ML and was worried.

 

[mjalam]

it was tied at 73-73 and then with five secs left they called a blocking foul on csn

 

[pd1]

Cal tied it at 73. Pacific player (with 5 seconds left) Somewhat tried to penetrate and Cal was charged with a foul. To me the call could have gone either way. He made both freethrows. Cal got off a shot, but not a very good one.

 

[Box and one]

Great ending.I was just snoozing away...

Wisky-Illi..capped it.Passing on it.Can't figure who I like..

Ok St -1.5 over Texas
Texas is 4th in the nation in rebounding yet Ok St killed them on the bds in both games this yr.Both teams can score but Texas has more trouble creating shots then OSU.
Texas has "skated" the past 2 weeks.OSU blows them away.Kansas St collapses that zone on them and Texas can't score.Tucker,Thomas,Mouton,Ivey,etc are all talented.
But Texas does not have a true pt gd.And that is there downfall.They can get buy with switching but no one is a true pt.Throw in there perimeter shooting of late and Texas has a couple of achilles heels.I think they hit just one 3 yest vs Kansas.
OU almost beat them playing with 4 gds.And at one time OU had 5 gds out there and Texas couldn't take advantage of it.
Barnes is a terrible bench coach.There ain't no TG Ford to fast break and create.
OSU has one of the best pt gds in Lucas.he does it all.Allen,McFarlan,Graham,etc play as a team.
Besides leading the nation in FG% at 51.7 OSU has 3 guys that avg 4.7,3.1 and 2.1 assits per game.Thats something UT cannot do.There ball movement and unselfish play is lite yrs ahead of Texas.When Bobick,Allen and Lucas are in at the same time thats 3 guys that can pass the ball.
OSU inside game is there achilles heel but McFarlin has played outstanding.
OSU is quicker off the ball.
OSU scores a litle more then Texas.FG%,3 pt %,FT % and defense are better then UT's.Texas has better rebounders.
In last 5 or 6 games Texas, Beat KU by 4,OU by 3,lost to KSU by 10,Lost to OSU by 10 and just beat Texas T.
OSU beat TT by 5,ISU by 8,AM by 30,Texas by 10 aad Baylor by 7.

ATS last 5 or 6 games are bad for both.You bet these 2 teams the past 2 weeks your poor.
OSU is 2-5 ats and texas is 1-4 ats.
Sutton is the better coach,and Lucas is the most important player out there on the court today.Texas doesn't have a Lucas.
OSU wins by 6-8 pts.

Still no name for the dog.Another Steve's "Pinball" is now my favorite.My daughter still calls him Kobe because he has tried to mount my other boxer 10 times today.He also can get out of my yard thru no openings in the fence.He has escaped twice.
He's running down the block and I'm chasing his ass yelling...but the freak'in dog is deaf...Maybe a good name is "Houdini" because we can't figure out how he's getting out.As I write this my son and daughter are trying to get him to escape....
Will be back later..
Oklahoma St -1.5 ****** 6-boxes

 

[Felonious Monk]

Taking OK St. with you today Boxster.

Hate to see my Horns go down but I think they do against the better team. Still looking at a 3 seed for the Big Dance with a loss and a 2 if we win, not much difference IMO.

GL today partner!

 

[msutter13]

I had $2500 (aka my whole bankroll) on the Pacific Moneyline. It looked at times as if Pacific thought they were playing in a preseason game instead of a Championship game. If I didn't have money on it I would have definantly been pulling for Cal-State. Seemed like they wanted it much more then Pacific last night.

 

[Scott4USC]

Just wanted to say thanks for the pick and excellent analysis. I put $1000 on Oklahoma St. -1 mostly because of your write-up. Looking great so far but still long ways to go. Win or lose, thanks for taking the time to post and write your analysis. I appreciate it.

Lets hope this cashes!!!!!!!!

 

[GFarrow8410]

Thanks box. Your one of the few people I follow on here because you actually back it up with analysis. Really appreciate it when someone can give me a reason other then that they really like the play.

Thanks again box, good luck in the tourny.
