Wednesday picks

Louisville at -18

With it looking like Andre McGee is back and a well rested Louisville team at home this one should be in the bag for the Cards early. I predict a 27 point win as Louisville needs to regain some traction before the Big East play starts. Trust me on this, Padgett will be a beast tomorrow and Pitino knows that Louisville must compete at a higher level. This game is the first domino!!

Cincy at -5

Cincy is at home and will do what Michigan did to Miami (OH), which is over power them and beat them athletically. My only concern is that if Cincy starts off slow, that they do not have a Courtney Sims (Michigan) that they can pound the ball into.

Wyoming at -1

What reason would UW-Milwaukee give to cover the spread. They are balanced in a bad way and Jeter is not a great coach. Wyoming is going to win by pounding the ball in to the post and playing excellent half court D.

This Wyoming line looks to easy.....I'm banking it goes up some, and if so I will middle it. I bought northeastern at +18.5 and it already moved to 18. I like your reasoning and Pitino has been my fav. college coach since his Kentucky days, but this team doesn't appear to be the powerhouse he usually has. Northeastern seems to be playing better and I hope they stay underneath this......I will reevaluate after I watch the line move...Good Luck!

what looks "too easy" about wyoming playing their 4th game in 7 days and logging miles from hawaii all the way back to wisconsin? uwm is bad but the panthers by 6 or 8 points wouldnt exactly be a shocker given the scheduling. it wouldnt surprise me if this one saw some sharp action to take it across zero and make wisc-mil the favorite.

You could be right, but I think the public may hammer it a little as the team has won 2 games all season and was just hammered by Sam Houston ST.......Wyoming is 9-2 and has the horses to blow this team out.

sam houston will probably be in the ncaa tourney this year. there are plenty of teams with worse losses than that one. wyoming is 9-4 and will likely be one of the 3 worst teams in the mountain west. uwm is bad news -- probably in the bottom 3 of the horizon as well. but a uwm win here isnt exactly an upset.

Sorry....Wyoming is 9-4.....Wisc MLW is 2-11......pretty good size differential in wins to losses.........SOS isnt giving me much push,,,,,,,just really like the Cowboys to continue there success against a team thAT APPEARS TO BE FINDING SOME SORT OF WINNING WAY,,,,,,,LOST LAST 7 GAMES WONT BODE WE LL FOR A TEAM NEEDING CONFIDENCE. tHE LIJE HAS ALREADY MOVED TO +2 AS WE DEBATE THE MERITS OF THIS GAME,,,,,,,WE SHALL SEE

I also like Bowling Green at -12.5 over Michigan Tech. Dakich cannot afford for his team to not play well in this tournament, especially with a tough MAC conference schedule looming. I predict an 18 point win.

Well GMAn you may be right.......Wyoming now +1 so it appears I was on the wrong side of this one.......a couple are going my way though.....
