No, no wait - it's SWEET SIXTEEN !


CBB YTD +22.45 units


Thursday:


It's teacher vs pupil in San Jose, as Howland's Bruins rumble with Dixon's Panthers at the HP Pavilion

So I have a couple of questions - this game is being played in California, right? and it pits the team that spent a good portion of the season ranked #1 in the polls against an up and down team that got blown out in the BE championship game and just struggled to get out of the 2nd round vs VCU, right? and this UCLA team played in the NC game last year, right?

So it seems easy enough - UCLA easy right?

I don't think so - 1st off, Bruins have no answer for Gray - the guy sometimes plays soft, but i expect a big game from him tonight - 2nd, Bruins don't have a go-to guy in the half-court outside of Afflalo, and this will be a half-court game you can bet - Pitt has other options and can work the inside-out angle a lot better than UCLA - 3rd, I like the pupil in these games a lot more than the teacher - the pupil knows all of the teacher's tricks and it's not always the same the other way around (see Parcells vs Payton this year in the NFL)

Not sure where this line was set at opening but Don Best shows it at 1.5 - looks like some sharps got to it before we could as Pinny shows the opening # at 2.5 and now it sits at 3 and rising - Books through the bait and it sure does look like the fishies are biting - UCLA minus the short # in the state of California?

Sign me up - for the Panthers that is

10 units PITT +4 -125

Really don't think I'll have to pay the extra juice as I see this one going to at least 3.5, but for record keeping purposes that will be the play - I'll wait to see what the line does before I play it though


May have a bit more - thinking about a ML parlay

Also adding:

Ticket # :1908100
Mar 22 10:00 PM
Mar 23 07:30 PM
PARLAY (2 TEAMS)
[664] OHIO STATE [CBS] -200 - CBB
[826] GEORGETOWN [CBS] -320 - CBB

475 / 445


Like the fact that OSU just survived a scare - TENN a little overhyped at this point - Gtown will beat Vandy


and:


PARLAY (3 TEAMS)
[664] OHIO STATE [CBS] -200 - CBB
[826] GEORGETOWN [CBS] -320 - CBB
[828] NORTH CAROLINA [CBS] -400 - CBB

250 / 365


Since the outset of this tourney OSU and Gtown have been on a collision course IMO - sets up as a great game and big time rematch - think the tv execs want this to happen?

Post so far - -9.5 units

Sorry about PITT play - in retrospect not a great play / Gray is an f'n waste

Will probably just hold off and see what happens with the parlays - obviously very lucky to get OSU / feel like TENN got robbed by a ton of ? calls

WIll post in this thread if I play anything else tonight

For once it's nice to be on the right side of some HORRIBLE officiating

TENN was jobbed by tons of bad calls (the worst being when Bradshaw made a clean steal but was whistled) - and it wasn't hard to see the travel on the deciding play in the Gtown game, b/c it happened twice

Oh well, what can you say - sure those refs aren't sleeping easy, but they did help me avoid a big time losing 16

Post total -1.4 units - CBB YTD +21.05 units

Back later with Elite 8 action
