    Portland may be a nice play tonight

    I like their talent, and it sounds like, mentally, they may be ready to pull it together. I like the Blazers tonight to win this game easier than expected. From the Oregonian: CLEVELAND -- Nobody on the Trail Blazers wants to say it outright, but the team expects to win all four games on this...

    Drexel +5

    I'm on this for a few reasons: 1) I see Drexel as, maybe, the class of the Colonial, and with the exception of Towson, Bill & Mary are definitely second class citizens in this conference 2) Drexel comes in off of blowing an 8-pt halftime lead on Sat at Old Dominion, their first loss in...

    Oregon State +8

    I like this play for a few reasons: 1) OR State appears to be an undervalued, improved team this year, with single digit losses to St. John's and AZ, a 10-pt loss to Texas in a game I believe was closer than the final indicates, and a not-that-terrible loss at Cal Poly (lost by 4, and CP isn't...

    loyola chicago -2

    I like this play for a number of reasons: 1) Cleveland State has been poor on the road, losing by 17, 8, and 13 at IUPUI, Stony Brook, and Fla State, respectively 2) Loyola has been undervalued this year, covering large numbers against good competition (Marquette, Illinois), and laying the...

    Columbia +15.5

    Columbia has been out on the west coast for several days now, having played UCLA on the 27th. On the other hand, SD State just flew across the country and expended a lot of energy at Duke just 48 hours ago. Columbia plays a tough, grind it out style, a la Princeton, and should hang here, as...

    Jack, what is the story?

    Is there a link to how/why you started this site? I asked this in another thread on the General Discussion board, but figured I'd ask it separately here to see if I could get somewhere Just interested, wondering why/how -- that's all. Thanks!

    Jack, nice work so far

    +860 for the day on your quarter plays, including 3-0 on your stronger plays. Well done, and good luck on the Wash 1st Q play tonight, to finish off the day strongly!

    Northwestern +9.5

    I like NW here for a few reasons: 1) NW's style of play, with Carmody (formerly at Princeton) as coach, makes them very appealing here, as points should be at a premium 2) NW ain't half bad this year, a far cry from recent versions - tight loss at Fordham, nice wins vs Fla State and K State...

    St. Louis - 5.5

    I really like St. Louis here for several reasons: Anti-Washington: this team is playing poorly right now, with 2 20 point losses at home, plus a 6 point loss after leading by 7 or 9 at home; they played only 48 hours ago in what was described as a "must win" conference game, and now they fly...

    Samford +21.5

    Yes, it is an ugly one, but: 1) Butler may be primed for a letdown off of some big wins, looking ahead to a "certain" showdown with Indiana tomorrow night 2) Samford and Son ain't half-bad, with an RPI of 63 and a tight loss at Georgia on their resume' 3) Samford is in the Princeton mode...

    WI - WI Milwaukee preview

    For your reading pleasure: http://www.jsonline.com/sports/coll/dec01/8131.asp My thoughts: I am a season ticket holder for Wisconsin, and I see them winning this game handily. I bet on Wisconsin about once in a blue moon, but Wisconsin wins going away for a few reasons: 1) Though a home...

    Over the total - Nick D angle

    At first glance, there are 4 games tonight where both teams played last night, making me look more closely at these games to go over the posted total: Wash-Ind Chi-Dallas Utah-Portland Boston-Phoenix Looking at last night's box scores, 3 or more starters logged 30+ minutes for both sides in...

    over plays, per the Nick D system

    the following games have both teams traveling, playing the 2nd of back to backs tonight: char-atl ind-clev utah-nj gs-denver detroit-seattle I know Nick refines it to both teams coming off of close games, where starters logged a lot of minutes - I'll use at least 3 starters with 35+ minutes as...

    Our world must be getting back to normal

    Given the number of posts I have read, and Policy's and the owner's comments, essentially justifying the reaction of the Browns "fans" yesterday. 1) Cleveland, although you think you are in the playoff hunt, you're not -- don't kid yourselves 2) The refs are human beings, too, despite what...

    Wisconsin - Temple

    Here is a link about tonight's game: http://www.jsonline.com/badger/bkb/dec01/uwmen03120201.asp As for my thoughts, I am a Wisconsin season ticket holder, and I wouldn't trust laying $ on them or against them this year, because they are very young (2 freshmen may be their best 2 players...

    Big 10 / ACC home games and neutral sites

    Just an FYI: Iowa-Duke is in Chicago at the United Center Mich State-VA (Wed night) is in Richmond, not on VA's home floor All of the others, I believe, are on the home floors of one of the teams

    TCU and comparative scores

    I'll take the bait on TCU tonight: They are small dogs to UTEP, yet: 1) TCU beat NW State by 14 and UTEP only beat them by 7 (I think that was the margin) 2) TCU beat Ark-Monticello by 43, and UTEP beat them by "only" 33 If something stinks here, I'm holding my nose -- TCU is the play over...

    returning starters and/or points?

    does anyone know of any convenient sites where I could find such information? I know this sort of info is typically available on various sites prior to the football season (returning starters, anyway), and I was hoping to find something similar for hoops. Any info is much appreciated! Thanks!
