Yesterday recap: Treaded water, going 3-3.
More importantly, I drank myself under a table in honor of St. Patricks Day and another early KU 1st round exit :mj07: ...


I have a good feeling about a couple of these games today, and am going to stick with the dogs again, with one exception, which we will get to. :scared

Wichita St. +2 (Ten.), +110, 100/110. Wichita St. +136 (ML), 50/68
---- I have been waiting for this one. When the opening line came out, I actually thought I could wait until tip-off because all the squares would get jump on UT and get me some value. Didnt happen like that and the line has come down.
I think Wichita St. ends Tennessee's dream season today. Tennessee barely had enough to stave off Winthrop, and they wont be so fortunate today. :sadwave:

UW-Mil. +7.5 (Fla.), -103, 51.50/50
--- This line seems high to me, as though it is beckoning UWM money, and to be honest, that scares me.
UWM just knows how to win, and I think they are going to harass UF for 40 minutes and keep this one close. In my bracket, I had UWM advancing to the Sweet 16, but I am going to "pus out" of a money line wagor here, and stick with the points.

Indiana +3 (Gon.), +102, 75/78. Ind. +156 (ML), 20/31.20
---- I also had Indiana going to the Sweet 16, and I am not going to pus out of this one. Morrison and comp. seem content to let every game go down to the wire and do just enough to win.
That WILL cut it against teams from their crappy conferance and Xavier, but it WONT cut it against a team like Indiana.
IU is certainly an enigma, but they are playing with their backs against the wall. They have big-time talent, and I think Killingsworth will have a "statement" game.

Alabama +8 (UCLA), -102, 102/100
---- Seems to be way too many points to me. I wouldnt be overly surprised to see an upset here.
Alabama's front court should have its way with the Bruins.
Farmar and Affalo scare me a little bit, but to get over 8, both will have to play stellar.
Davidson has a big game.

Washington +2 (Ill.), -110, 22/20
--- Very small play. I dont know how either of these teams are going to come out...
But I do think the Big 10 is being exposed, and before the bracket came out I told myself to fade Illinois in the 2nd round. I will do so, but only for a small amount. Good riddance, Dee Brown.

And for the one favorite... I made this wager last night and really like it...

J.J. Redick more NCAA Tournament points than Adam Morrison, -205, 205/100
--- As far as prop bets go, this is a very large one for me.
But I love this bet. I think Morrison gets knocked out in an upset today. If they dont, I think for sure there road ends in the Sweet 16.
Redick, however, will for sure make the Sweet 16 before they start to play real competition, and could easily go to the finals. I think Redick could conceivably play 2-4 more games than Morrison, in which case this is a lock.
The only downside is Morrison HAS to score for his team to win, while Redick can at times defer to his teammates. But if Redick plays more games (an almost certainty) this bet should come through.
This is the biggest prop I have ever made... :SIB


With the Jayhawks getting knocked out, I promised myself to take a day off from the tournament. I did that last year, and lasted only through the afternoon game. I dont think I will make it much further today. Might have to go see 16 Blocks... anyone seen it? Waste of time?



Well guys, best of luck today!
