THIS YEAR: 171-109-8 (+155.0 units)
1 UNIT 7-6 (+0.8 units)
2 UNIT 68-49-1 (+29.1 units)
3 UNIT 53-27-2 (+66.6 units)
4 UNIT 16-12-4 (+12.6 units)
5 UNIT 27-15-1 (+45.9 units)
Conference Tournaments 23-12 +29.8
Well, I didn't make it back to post but went 1-1 on the early plays winning Kentucky for 5 units and losing the under in Duke-Maryland for -3.3 units. My lean that I made note of hit (Okl State) but I didn't get back to post it or Wisconsin which I played for the game and in the second half.
I wrapped up the conference tournaments with profits of 29.8 units with a record of 23-12. Add that to the regular season profits and my overall record nets a positive 155 units!
Now on to the greatest entertainment of the year IMO! The invitations to the BIG DANCE have been extended and the music will start playing Tuesday as the play-in game between Florida A&M and Lehigh will tip off at 6:00 pm Central Time. The winner....well....they get the honor of escorting the #1 Team in the tournament to the Dance.....The Wildcats of Kentucky (winners SU and ATS in their last 9 contests, 15-2 in their last 17 games and those 9 SU wins have come VERY EASILY!)
Many have expressed their displeasures with both the BIG 10 and BIG 12 conferences this year, and the selection committee agreed with you all as only 7 total teams will represent those conferences (Wisky, Illini, Mich St, Texas, Okl State, Kan, and Tex Tech). As with every year many die hard fans and sports critics have spent the last 20 hours voicing their frustations with the committee due to someone not getting a bid to the festivities. IMO valid arguments could be made for or against many teams including (Wisc Mil, Utah State, Creighton, Witchita State, Purdue, Rice, Toledo, Oklahoma, Colorado, Rhode Island, George Washington, Boise State, Kent State, Niagara and Michigan) All of which will compete in and make for a very good NIT tournament. The teams that I feel the worst for off the top of my head are those who had very good seasons but aren't playing anywhere for the post season.....IUPUI, Fairfield, Chattanooga, College of Charleston, Detroit, and Georgia Southern....All whom made me some good money on the year. So my hat off and glass up to each of those programs for great seasons!:clap: :clap: :clap:
I will be back with much more for the tourney. Upon first glance I really like Kentucky's chances this year. I read some stat recently that the winner of the SEC Tournament has made the Final Four like 6 of 8 times (not 100% on the stat but remember it being mind boggling). Either way, they are playing great ball on both sides of the ball and have some depth to help in tourney bball as well as coach who knows what it takes to win and a favorable bracket IMO.
Back later.
