Bearcats...

[Box and one]

Cincinnati -9 over ECU *****
It's 2 teams going into different directions.Last 2 times Cats visted ECU they won but by less then 10 pts.Tonite cannot see it close and a double digit road win for Cats.Cin has so many 6'6,6'7 players that are so athletic.Not a great offensive team despite avg 77 pts.There defense is so good.It's so hard to shoot against them with there greyhounds everywhere.There quicker,run the floor in transition, better rebounders,etc,Kirkland at 6'8 is a force.Hicks and Maxiell are big time shot blockers and intimadators.Jihad at the pt has only 6 turnovers in the past 2 games.
ECU has been up and down.Rouse the other nite in the Char loss was there only double digit scorer.Badine is there big time shotblocker so tonite my son might catch a ball in row 6.Cook is there leading scorer at the gd.They don't have the athletes to hang around this type of team.
Cats have "won 12 games by more then 12 pts and 11 of those games by 16 or more".There 5-1 away from home.ECU is a terrible home ats team.Lyr they were 2-6 and the yr before 4-7.Ironically 2 of those wins were against Cin.
ECU is avg going against one of the best defensive teams in the country.Ranked 4th.
My son will be at the game cheering on Badine to block a ferw shots.But Maxiell is better then Badine in that dept.

Not sure if I will be back tonite
West Mich -3 over Kent
Drexal +5 over VCU
Mass +6 over St Joes
Creighton -2.5 over Ind St...like that a lot.my numbers are way off.Need more time to capp this but its looks to good.

Another great write-up Box, GL.

Do you think that with Cincy having Louisville coming up on Sat. that this may be "a look ahead spot" and ECU could grab a backdoor cover? The Bearcats are not one of the most disiplined teams. Your thoughts.

:toast:

I owe you a big thankyou on your Cincy pick. I bet Cincy huge but on the ML at -560. Not sure if you ever been congratulated on a loser ATS before, but you won me $$$ and I am thankful. You should have won your pick ATS as Cincy was up 14 at half and had a 20pt lead in 2h but let things slip away late and ECU got hot. It actually was 4pt game at one pt and I was shittin bricks. Thanks for the write-up. You and and some other poster (fogot his name) had nice write-up on the game and then I looked into it further and loved it but on the ML.

back-handed compliment....if I've ever heard one.

Anyone could have played Cincy on the moneyline.

Box, keep up the good work. I am also a NYC area guy.....and a teacher...but didn't get a snow day or even a delay today. So disappointing.

Scott, maybe I just took your post out-of-context. If I did, I apologize. It just came off that way.

Scott is only insane when it comes to USC. In a post like this, I think he means it completely.

oh...ok....I think I might have gotten him confused with the guy on here "Scott in Atlanta" or something close to that.
I know that guy has pissed a lot of people off.......I thought it was this Scott when I read his (what I originally thought was an antagonistic) post and saw the name "Scott." My bad.
By the way...I'm glad USC kicked OU's tail...enough wih Bob Stoops already....Carroll is the best.

Both the Scott's lack some people skills. Get 'em tomorrow, box

My post was sincere and I know BOX didn't win (but he should have) he was vital in me winning. I would not have laid my large wager on Cincy ML without him and his good write-up. I appreciated him taking the time to make write-up.

I got the ML at -560 and by kickoff it was -725.

I read Box's write-up and then someone elses here at MJ's, then I capped it further on my own, and bet it huge. Just giving Box his dues and that is what this site is about. Helping others win. He helped me win, even though he lost.

I am not a NCAA hoop expert so I heavily rely on the posters in the NCAA HOOPS FORUM. I often look for good write-ups and then if I agree or see something, then I dig deeper into that game. That is exactly what I did on Cincy.

BobbyBlueChip what people skills do I lack? Not sure where that post came from.
