UConn -28.5 over Texas ***
Huskies playing in Albany which will be like a home game...Texas has had 3 seasons...started out 13-0,went 2-8 and now 9-2..lost top player in season 1...they play in a tougher conf then Conn..lost to Baylor 3 times by 9,2 and 17...Texas will start 2 bigs today but don't think that will work...Texas is not a 3 pt shooting team so they have to work the ball to score..meanwhile the Huskies are loaded with 3 pt shooters and attack the hoop 24-7.They are second in country in rebounding and have the best player in the country in Stewart at 6'4 who does everything...she avgs 17-7 bds...the other 4 are all solid..Tuck,Lewis,etc...if Texas goes with its big lineup they will not be able to stop the Huskies esp from shooting..if the bigs go out to challenge the Huskies
will drive to the hoop...just see a poor matchup on Texas defense vs Conn offense....hate laying 28 pts but once Geno's team starts pouring it on its hard to stop them..Stewart has won the MVP in the final 4 the past two years...she will get her 3rd....Texas hangs in there for awhile...just sometimes worried with a big lead and 6 minutes left Geno empties his bench...but his bench are almost as good as the Texas starters...

back later with the guys....we had snow this morning in NY...it will be in the high 70's in Austin...unreal

Zona -1.5 over Wisky **
Tough game because really any team could win this...leaning towards the Sun D's.At the end of a 2 or 3 pt game I want TJ on my team...Wiskys K has Zonas Tarz...early foul trouble could swing this towards Wisky...if the refs call a tight game Tarz could be in trouble...I like Jefferson a lot...Deeker looked great and Jackson is getting his legs back...he is dangerous...but think Zona O will extend Wisky defense...

Kentucky -11 over Notre Dame *****
Two games ago watched ND shoot 3-17 from the 3..last game vs Wichita they were on...its a bad match up again for ND...Kentucky 1st of all plays great defense...there bigs inside are so good...Stein-Towns,etc..Cats gds are also solid with Harrison,Booker,Ulis,etc...I know ND wants to extend Cats defense with their outside shooting...so Cats will go out there and contest...if ND can drive to the basket Cats help side defense is excellent esp with a big challenging..everyone talks about blocked shots...a stat should be created in "Altered Shots"...even though WV isn't a good shooting team a lot of those shots were altered..ND is a good outside shooting team...think Cats dominate again on defense,on the bds,and on offense...ND defense will have trouble stopping Cats...

NJIT -2.5 over Canisius **
Haven't seen NJ at all.. watched the Griffs about 5 times..Griffs are not a good shooting team...Heath is there top scorer...vs BG they had a few players almost score season highs..NJIT has won 10 of last 11 games and are playing at home where they are 14-2.....small play on the home team...

Huskies blew away Texas...they took out Stewart with 9 minutes left in the game...and Uconns 2nd string was almost as good as Texas's 1st string... love that Geno...they just better and better....

Texas fired Barnes. today...thank god....I told this story here years ago..Barnes who coached at Providence and Clemson before Texas got Gordan Chiesa fired from Providence....his behind the scenes tactics got Gordan fired...this was public information..all the east coast coaches Thompson,Carnesseca,Boehem,etc knew what he did....so today is a little revenge.....Gordy moved to the NBA and was Utah asst coach for 15-plus years...still coaching in the NBA.. I know the Gordy is smiling today somewhere..
