Iowa State @ Baylor - I realize the Bears will come ready to play and will be very thankful they aren't matching up with Kansas or Missouri who have owned them. I still don't like anything I have seen out of Baylor recently and will grab the points with Iowa State now rather than wait for the line to go down. Allen is coming off a career high for Iowa State and Royce White will be very tough for the thin and weak kids for Baylor. I also think Hoiberg is one heck of a coach and really question if Drew knows wtf he's doing half the time.

Iowa State +9 for 6*

Syracuse @ Louisville - Pitino has owned Boeheim and now Blackshear has come back and he looked solid for the Cardinals over the weekend. West Vagina played one heck of a game Saturday vs. Louisville, but still lost. I know Syracuse is the far deeper club, but I really like Louisville's chances to pull off the upset on Monday. Syracuse hasn't played many tough road games and this will be very tough (sorry, but winning @ Cincy isn't very impressive IMHO).

Louisville +3 (-120) for 6*

Kansas @ Kansas State - The Jayhawks looked unreal in the 1st half Saturday vs. Oklahoma State when they built a 51-24 halftime lead. In the 2nd half, they looked gawd awful and you could tell were looking forward to this game. K-State gave KU an ass whooping in Manhatten last year on Vanlentine's Day and you know Self will remind his team. I also have watched K-State's past couple games and they just don't look fluid offensively. Now that Withey has really stepped up his game (back-to-back monster games for the 7 footer), KU has one of the best Center/Power Forward combos in the country (well at least when Withey plays like the past couple games) and it doesn't hurt Teahan and Elijah Johnson are hitting some 3-point shots. Tyshawn Taylor has also been playing great at least the past month and should be a very difficult matchup for the Mildcats at the PG position. I'll be very surprised if K-State wins this game despite the fact their playing in the Octagon of Douche Bags (Doom). Kansas State has already been swept by Oklahoma and other than the 1st half @ Texas (where they go waxed in the 2nd half), they haven't looked worth a damn. After McGruder (he's been struggling a little), don't think anyone if capable of scoring over 20 points on this team.

Kansas -3 (-120) for 8*

Well going big so I'll either start the week up big or down... let's hope it's a BIG POSITIVE MONDAY!:00hour :0074

Not a big totals player Treynolds... sorry. Too many variables in the college game for me. Do play totals in NBA occasionally.

Thanks Rubiconed and Elmer Fudd for saying good luck!

Played UMBC +14 earlier for 3* - They stink, but should give a solid effort vs. Coppin State just looking at the numbers.

Thanks Joe Frog... I realize this is a HUGE game for Kansas State and their crowd will be roaring. I also realize they have enjoyed a lot of success vs. Kansas at home since Frank Martin became their coach. However, I also think this is a weak Kansas State club which overachieved early, but now is showing it's warts. Anyway, we'll learn more tonight.

Small Middle since I took KU 1st half -2 for 3*, but didn't post.

2nd half K-State Pick (-115) for 2.8* - Just a feeling this game becomes tight and then KU wins by 7 to 9 points. Just a gut feeling as Kansas St looked horrid, but still only down 10. KU also looked like sh*t, but feel crowd is intimidating these kids a little bit.

Whew! A 4-1 on posted plays for +13.2*... also had KU 1st half for 3*, but didn't post. I'll take it!

Tyshawn Taylor is the worst player in college hoops in close games late... just fucking awful!
