Wednesday Hoopla!!

I haven't posted plays in a couple of years on here so it's time to get back in the mix. Will post as 1-3 units. So here we go:

3 Units: FSU +7: Being a Clemson fan, I get to see these two teams regularly. Miami has a slight advantage with McClinton at guard, but Toney Douglas can hold his own as well. FSU has a huge frontline that may be able to carry the Noles to a possible straight-up upset.

2 Units: UCONN -9': Villanova has no size down low to match up with Thabeet, Adrian, and company. AJ Price is due for a big game, and will neutralize Scottie Reynolds on the defensive end.

2 Units: UMASS +5': UMASS will control the tempo with their 3 guard lineup and Tony Gaffney will control the boards. Charlotte should not be giving 5 points to anyone. Possible striaght-up win here also.

1 Unit: Clemson +14': Not a Homer Play by any means. Clemson played UNC to the brink of 3 defeats last year only to get beat in each game. Booker matches up well with Hansbrough. Hansbrough tends to melt under the pressure of athletic big men like Booker and Sykes. Stitt will put pressure on Lawson and Rivers matches up well with Ellington on the outside.

Good Luck!!

Adding..

2 Unit:

G. Mason +4...Mason is re-establishing itself as the Conference favorite with its closest win being by 4 at William & Mary. I'll lay the short line here that Northeastern will succomb to Mason's pressure.

Good Luck!!

Taker,

Why do you think the line is so much? I think they match up pretty well against UNC, as you say they took them to the wire the last couple of games. I ususally don't play on BB too much, but this looks too easy. Usually when it looks too easy it is. Just wondering if you had any thoughts as to why Clemson is getting 13'. We are not too bad of a team, and UNC has proved to be beatable this year. Here's to a Hansbrough broken nose at tip off!!!!!!!! Go Tigers!

I think the highness of the line is the fact that we have still never won at Chapel Hill. I think we give them all they want tonight if Booker does not get in foul trouble. Based on the last 3 meetings, we match up tremendously with them. Unless Vegas knows something (which they probably will and we get blown out by 30), then I think we will be in it until the end.

Go Tigers...Beat the hell out of those Tar Heels!!!

I'm with you on the line being so much b/c it at Chapel Hill, but I do think we hang tough and maybe, just maybe break that freakin losing streak to them. I hate that f*%$# Tyler H with a passion, great player, but what a whiney bitch. I think I will take Clemson +13' for a couple just to make it more interesting. Good luck tonight and the rest of the season.
