Yesterday recap: 3-2. Had a nice winning day, as my biggest bet Wichita St. came through in a big way. Also had them on the money line for another half unit.

------------------------------------------------

Today, I am going to show some restraint. The lines are opening up a bit, and only a few games look "bet-worthy."

Georgetown +2 (OSU), +100, 100/100. UG ML, +128, 50/64.
----- When the brackets came out, there were two teams that I vowed to fade until they were knocked out. Those teams were OSU and Tennessee, both of whom were overseeded, overrated, and ripe for the picking. So far, those two teams are 0-3 ATS, and have made me a very nice profit. I thought about absolutely going for the kill in this one, but I will only match the bet I made on Wichita St. yesterday.
I think Georgetown knocks off OSU today, and ends what has been a dream season for Matta and company. Now they can get ready to roll out the red carpet for Greg Oden and friends and really make a run next year.

UConn -9 (Ken.), -102, 51/50
---- Lets be honest, Kentucky is lucky to be in the tournament. If this team played at a differant university without the tradition, they would be hosting a first round NIT game.
Well their tradition will get them the opportunity to get slaughtered by UConn today.
I like the line value brought on by UConn's well documented struggles on Friday against Albany. :scared
Lets just say this: UConns players know Kentucky, and wont show up at the gym expecting to blow them out just by putting on their uniform. Kentucky may be down this year, but everybody gives UK their best shot.
UConn rolls.

West Virginia -8 (NWS), +107, 50/53.50
--- Listen, I am all about the Cinderella. But NWS's win against Iowa was not a shocker. Iowa had problems all year when leaving the state, and the fact that a team who had played well on the road against big programs this year knocked them off was of little surprise (although they way in which it was done certainly was).
The only way I see NWS sticking around in this one is if WV goes cold from outside, which of course is always a possibility with this group.
I think NWS might come out quickly out of the gate, but WV is going to be too much. Those clutch 3's have a way of demoralizing teams when they keep dropping.

That is it for now. I am going to go over the games again later after I get some sleep.

On a positive note, my JJ Redick v. Adam Morrison prop bet took a decidedly positive turn as Morrison stunk it up against Indiana (who still allowed 90 points to the Zags... wow... :mj07: ). As of this evening, Pinnacle pulled that bet... Hope some of you guys got in on that one, because if Morrison gets knocked out by UCLA as expected, you can lock that one up. :padlock:

Good luck today!

Decided to make one more play, and again it is a big favorite.


Villanova -7 (Arz.), +102, 50/51
---- I said it before round 1, and I will say it again despite the Cats first round rout of Wisconsin: they have absolutely no heart.
Villanova is going to pressure them on D, and ratchet the tempo up on O.
The Big 10 has proven to be sub-par so far in the tournament, and I definately think I fell into the trap of overvalueing a team like Wisky... Zona's draw this time will end their season in spectacular fashion.

GL!

I am going to add another unit on Georgetown, making it my largest play of the tournament (just ahead of Texas A&M and UW-Milwaukee in the first round).

Georgetown +2 (OSU), -104, 104/100
---- 64% of public bets are coming down on OSU right now, and yet, the spread has DROPPED by a point since its opening (3 to 2).
It seems like everyone and their mother is on OSU, and this game is eerily similar in line movement/seeds/etc. to the Wichita St. and Tennessee game of yesterday (when WSU won outright as a dog by 7, leading almost wire-to-wire.
Going to put a decent amount (2 and a half units) of my tournament profits on the Hoyas.

I'm out the door. GL.
