Michigan was playing real well at the end of the year, who knows.

 

[203Hoosier]

#cruncher....yup, and I jumped on Michigan too late. They were +4000 before the Big Ten Tournament.

My Florida pick? :mj07: Gators might not even beat the Bonnies/UCLA winner!:0002

:142smilieI'll be pulling for you Hoosier!

One final "future" play:

2 units
Team matchups- Who Has More Wins in Tourney? Purdue +125 over Cincinnati

That's it. Not playing any "to win X region." I'm not seeing good values. Some long shots look interesting, but I don't want to throw cash down the toilet. (I've already done that with Florida, I think. :facepalm: )

Let's get this thing started! I'm like a kid in a candy store!!

Tuesday

2 units
Rider +11.5 (-102)
Asheville +18 (-101)

1 unit
Northern Kentucky +260
BC +5 (-105)
Rider +600
Asheville +2290

 

[eeeerock]

GL but I think BC put all their focus on the conference tourney think they don't recover for this one just my thought,GL on plays.

 

[203Hoosier]

eeeerock- you're probably right about BC. Not a huge play for me..just 1 unit, and getting 5...not touching BC on the moneyline.

Wednesday plays

2 units
Harvard +12 (-105)

1 unit
Temple +10 (-110)
Harvard +800

 

[203Hoosier]

5 units
2H
EWU-Utah Valley OVER 78 (-110)

 

[203Hoosier]

these coaches who choose to not foul when up three with under 10 seconds left deserve what they get! Allow the opponent to make a 3-pointer and win it in overtime.
Stupid Asheville coach cost me a huge +2290 underdog moneyline payout when he elected to not foul near the end of the first OT vs. USC. What happens? 3-ball is good, and USC wins it in 2OT.
Not only does it piss me off, but I feel bad for those Asheville kids who flew across the country to LA LA-land and had USC BEAT.
I won a unit on the game with the pointspread, but what a win that would have been outright for a unit. I have NO SYMPATHY for a coach who loses after he refuses to foul up three.
Forget the gambling aspect, it's just common sense. Been saying it since the advent of the 3-point line when I was a kid. Yet, it happens in gyms across the the country- big and small- night after night- from peanut leagues to the pros. 90% of these guys will never get it. How people mess up simple time and score situations in football and basketball is mind-boggling, Other countries foul up 3. Here? Only a few coaches have the smarts.
As I said, the idiots deserve the fate they get.

YTD
221-236-2

Add for Wednesday:

Syracuse +117

 

[JOHNNYWAD119]

GL, I hope Syracuse blows them out.

Wednesday
2-2
+1.07 units

YTD
223-238-2
+235.72 units (season high-water mark)


Thursday ADD:

1 unit
St. Bonaventure +6 (even)...already have 1 unit future play on Florida to win the NCAA Tournament. Bonnies' stud guards Mobley and Adams were horrendous vs. UCLA (Adams was far worse) and they still managed to beat the Bruins on Tuesday. Courtney Stockard, who is listed as a forward- but I think he plays more like a guard- poured in 26 against UCLA, after sitting out with an injury vs. Davidson in last weekend's A-10 tourney.

Just like the Bonnies, Florida's strength is also its guard play (Jalen Hudson was playing extremely well before his clunker vs. Arkansas in the SEC quarters. And Chris Chiozza, the Gators' hero last March vs. Wisconsin at MSG, hasn't been shooting very well, but has been distributing the ball exceptionally well as of late)
Florida forward Stone was the one bright spot in the loss to the Hogs. That was a rarity, and its going to take that sort of effort from a frontcourt Gator like him to be able to beat the Bonnies. Luckily, for Florida, St. Bonaventure's weakness is its interior play, also.
Basically, this is going to be a guard-heavy game. I think it's going to come down to whichever team can get anything out of its frontcourt players.
Two long layoffs is a row for Florida, while the Bonnies will be playing for the third time in six days. In tournament play, I like the team with momentum.
Not biting on the moneyline, but I will take the Bonnies +5.5. I think St. Bonaventure actually has the better guards, even though Florida has a little more depth and consistency.
I think we're going to see a ton of 3-pointers attempted by both teams. Should be a fun game matching two under-the-radar (but flawed) teams; capable of making a run in this tournament. I expect a close game here.

You playing anymore tomorrow Hoosier?

 

[203Hoosier]

Johnny, all my plays for Friday are near the top of this thread. I played them as soon as they came out on Sunday night, and they are combined with Thursday's plays.
I might add something on Syracuse on Friday, but I'm not sure yet. If I add anything, I'll post it here. Looking at Texas tomorrow, too.
Also looking at Florida State and Butler.

 

[JOHNNYWAD119]

Thanks Hoosier I?m on all of the above already. GL

 

[203Hoosier]

I didn't think the guards of St. Bonaventure could play much worse (despite the win) than the UCLA game, but they were so much worse against Florida. Gators defense deserves a lot of credit- they were so active.
Oh well, lost a unit on the Bonnies, but at least my Florida +6500 to win it all is still alive. :mj07:
