2/23 Monday CHC...

[Riff-Raff]

Decent Sunday return..... Unfortunately I lost a small wager on Merrimack U, which is a little ironic because as soon as I mentioned them here on MJs they turn to mush........ Onward

Texas +5'...........10 u 💪 *Buyer Beware because I'm not altogether sure what injuries are still current, but I had this circled early due to the fact WV has had some big B-12 Road issues and Texas will be surely looking to make amends for the beat down they took at Morgantown. If the Injury guru Musca can chime in (if he's around, haven't seen much of him) or if anyone knows status of Sims and Febres???

Bethune-Cookman (R) +1'............10 u 💪

So Carolina St/Fla A&M Over 141...........10 u 💪 💪

Alabama St (R) -3......10 u 💪

Louisville/FSU Over 140'......10 u 💪

Del St/Morgan St Under 152......10 u 💪 *May upgrade strength wise but Del S "D" makes me nervous. However, I can't see Morgan too motivated here and expect an easy DD win which might lead to some slow down hoops and bench play in the 2nd Half. My thoughts include the fact that Morgan will have a bigger bench this time at home (first game closed on 149) but I think Del St struggles to break 60 here and if that is the case, think Morgan will be happy in the mid 70s....

Good luck with whatever you decide to do..

[G] 02/23/2020 - Jase Febres is "?" Monday vs West Virginia ( Knee )
[F] 02/17/2020 - Jericho Sims is out for regular season ( Back )

 

[Destructor D]

West Vagina has been terrible on the road, but not sure how Texas can matchup without Sims.

Line appears to be rising which I'm guessing Febres is likely out again.

Think Texas won their last 2 games w/o Sims?

 

[Destructor D]

They have won without him... just think tonight might be more difficult as WVU has some solid big men.

 

[Dog lover]

Texas has 2 frosh big men that are now playing the post in Sims absence: 6'10" K. Jones and 7' Will Baker. Both seem to be filling the void adequately, though not near as good as Sims. Also have 6'9" Hepa and 6'8" Hamm at forwards. I don't think height is a problem, but inexperience may be. I'll be there supporting the Horns tonight.

Good Stuff........ I have a mid range bet on Texas and looking at past Stats Sheets was misleading. Combination of WV road problems and Texas trending up made the ultimate decision. Like Dog Lover mentions, Longhorns have been able to compete with those young guys. Despite injuries as Hawk mentioned, Longhorns have been playing better than the 36 point shellacking earlier in Morgantown. I think overall, Smart does a pretty good job Coaching, and even when a key player is out (in general) sometimes you get a better effort from the Healthy Players and 8 out of 10 times the injury never comes into play.

The only real experience I can draw from was when I played in High School and College (College Football), I just remember that whenever a key player got hurt you could always get a great effort from the sub because this was their chance to shine. I don't know, I staying with my bet, but thinking I might throw a little on the Under here too. Huggies teams always play good D as does Texas and the emotional letdown of the OT LOSS by WV may mean finding the offense a bit stagnant.

Gl and thanx guys
