    Smitty's Second Round Selections

    gonna do the same thing as the first round, and keep my picks for saturday & sunday in this thread. got off to the great start i expected on thursday. kept my head barely above water yesterday. would have been a solid day if georgetown dribbled out the clock. oh well, that's gambling...

    Smitty's First Round Selections

    i haven't posted any plays in over a week. as i stated in another thread, every year i shit the bed during the conference tourneys, then rebound and do very well the first weekend of the ncaa tourney. the first part of that held true again this year. i should have posted, just so you guys...

    Box and One

    are you still coming up to glens falls this weekend? i don't think i'll be able to make the games (i just can't miss the tourney), but maybe we can still get together. i am literally one minute off the northway, so i'll be right on your way. it'd be nice to meet the legend. :)

    You Say You Don't Believe in the 'Announcer Jinx'?

    ever since the SOB calling the kent/toledo game said kent had a "comfortable lead" with 8:18 to go in the game, toledo has been on a 14-2 run. as soon as the words were out of the SOB's mouth, i knew kent was in trouble. :cursin: :cursin: :cursin:

    slim pickins today, and i'm not referring to the singer. not much jumped out at me. was gonna play arkansas, but i'm not quite ready to trust them as road chalk. so without further ado, here are my 2 plays. maryland (+2) 2 units. seems everybody is jumping on the cavs' bandwagon. which...

    what a great time of year for college hoops. the normal intensity level gets turned up another notch. for the life of me, i cannot figure out how anybody prefers the nba to college. these kids live and die with every game. alrighty, moving on... haven't seen the lines for most of the...

    feeling the pressure now. :) hope i can keep up this good run. just one play tonight... pitt (+3) 2 units. i put wv on my 'strictly-play-against' list a few weeks ago, right after pittsnogle became a daddy. his play has gotten better since then, but his teammates' has not. i look for a...

    SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

    fresh off a great day (9-2) yesterday, i present some wonderful fade opportunities... indiana (+2) 3 units. oh, this is tough. going 100% against my gut on this one. indiana has failed to cover, what, 62* straight games? and here comes big, bad michigan state to bloomington. i know, i...

    getting close to that magical time of the year... march madness. as is my norm on saturday, here are my top 42 plays for the day.... georgetown (-6.5)2 units. after winning 7 straight, georgetown hit a rough stretch, losing 3 straight. they righted the ship against rutgers, getting a needed...

    Smitty's Contrarian Monday Plays

    last 2 days haven't been pretty. but i'm feeling good about these plays. of course, that could be the beer talking.... syracuse (+1.5) 2 units. ok, maybe i'm not feeling so good about this play. in fact, my first instinct was to take the mountaineers. looked like money in the bank. of...

    SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

    just a horrendous day yesterday. i'm usually a dog player, but i switched to the dark side and played a bunch of favs. that'll learn me. oh, wait a minute, maybe it won't.... north carolina (-3.5) 2 units. holy crap, wtf am i doing? conference road chalk? with approximately 75% of the...

    BRACKETBUSTER SATURDAY

    how i love thee.... as on most saturdays, i have managed to narrow this card down to my top 42 plays. enjoy. ohio state (-16.5) 2 units. as all of my devoted readers (both of you!) know, i normally play dogs or small favs. but this is one of the rare games where i fully expect a blowout...

    must be the post-valentine's hangover. don't really love anything tonight. 2 units each. cleveland state (+9.5). the vikings have been better on the road in conference than at home. wright state coming off 2 straight tight games; i don't think they'll be fired up to run up the score...

    some of these plays are my valentine's, 'cause i LOVE them. :) bowling green (+13.5) 1 unit. i kinda get the feeling it's time to get off the bg money train, but i gotta keep ridin' her 'til she throws me. they've been great as a decent-sized dog. clemson (-1.5) 3 units. if only you could...

    UConn/Villanova

    man, what a great game. i don't think there's any doubt these are two of the top 10 teams in the country (no, i don't pay much attention to the rankings; often they are a joke). the great guard play of 'nova vs. the inside strength of uconn. of course, uconn has some talent on the perimeter...

    SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

    barely keeping my head above the magic 55% mark. considering the short card, i like too many games today, but here goes... ohio state (-2) 2 units. buckeyes did it to 'em last year, and i think they'll do it again this year. st john's (+2) 2 units. 'cuse has just been abused on the road...

    another glorious day of college hoops action. without further ado, here are my 47 best plays of the day... south florida (+14) 2 units. sure, the bulls have lost 11 straight and are 0-9 in conference. but they have been competitive on the road, losing by 6, 3, 5, and 13 to 'cuse, georgetown...
