Morning Ax, love this pick considering Mem is averaging 49 & NO 43 1st h respectively over the past 5 games. With NO D I don't see Mem hitting 49. Not sure what's happened to NO offense compared to last year, but it's certainly been a no show most of this season.

GL, Granpa

Yes granpa, as do I sir. I looked a little deeper and I'm sorry I can't provide my cap notes today since I am pressed for time but I already bought in 1U. It's a solid play and I wish you and all the best of luck!

Some leans in college basketball for today -

Louisville
Pittsburgh
Kansas

Arizona's been bashed among so-called pundits for being undeserving to be in the Big Dance, wouldn't be surprised if they win against Utah after all the derision heaped on 'em.

really ETZ? locked in?

Hi AX
Locked on Memphis at New Orleans U188 to
GL to us!!!

You too Eagle, enjoy your vacation in beautiful Cebu. Get out of the resort, the towns and villages have so much to offer. The world renowned Doce Pares is in Cebu. It's the most respected stick/knife fighting school in the world. These guys are no joke. It's funny how the Philippines only made death matches illegal a few years ago. AND BEFORE THAT DEATH MATCHES WEREN'T ILLEGAL? Don't piss anyone off on your vacation pal. LOL

wow..you too? Hmmm I may just tail you guys. +1.5

I'm a pac 10 guy. And I don't know... I can't pull the trigger on AZ. They limped in. They absolutely blew their last 6 games. I wouldn't want to back a team like that. Plus the Pac 10 hasn't been very impressive thus far, with the exception of Washington.

I like the over in that game much more than the AZ side. Just my two cents.

Dont play Arizona!

Dont play Arizona!

I am at work so not much time for research but there is a very good capper I follow at the other site and he is quoted as saying...

"Arizona Wildcats

You want to know why the Cats snuck their way into the tournament in spite of a sluggish ending to their season. No it had nothing to do with quality wins, record against top 50 RPI teams or anything of the like. Vegas campaigned for their inclusion with the selection commitee solely so they could make a killing of this game, that's why.

Here is what you will hear all week about why Arizona wins this game:

1. This team has two lottery picks.

2. This team has the talent to make the sweet sixteen or elite eight.

3. This team hasn't peaked yet.

4. Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill.

And this will be the result:

Be careful people this is setting up as a bloodbath. Utah is a very skilled team. Their Aussie big man Luke Nevill will control things down low. Jordan Hill is not equipped to guard him, he's a natural poward foward. If he gets into any sort of foul trouble the Cats are toast as they have no depth off the bench, espcially with their bigs.

I like the Utes here big."

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

Thank you for this. That just pulled me back in. I'm not sure how much truth there is to Vegas having a hand in this but some points are realistic.

1st set of numbers = odds tracker
2nd set of numbers = vegas insider


Tor
41%.....31% = over
59%......69% = under

N.O.
50%.....55%
50%.....45%

NO under jumped to 190.5 :scared

Ok another try @ this CBB L@$%ed in Syracuse -11.5. I think they have something to prove and why not take it out on Stephan Austin. Don't tail blind I don't know sh#! about CBB just a strong feeling.

N.Dakota has five fifth year starters and are not that bad of a team and will most likely have a bigger fan base...Just my thoughts.
Hope we all get off to a good start today and everyone wins big.GL..

from what i hear - NDak has like 6 "5th yr" seniors that play and their campus is only 2 1/2 hr ride and they are busing tons of people in -- quasi home game
