ncaa record 77-55
nba 16-11
firsthalf 13-14(didnt play any yesterday)
2ndhalf 36-16
overall 93-66
pending-------ohio st to win east +150


ok quick recap--------i was 1 an 0 in nba coming from a second half----Again i had major success with the 2nd halves---going 6-2 for the day...One of the losses was a hedge, where i bet the game under, but decided to take a 4.5 middle.. i just missed it by 2points to win both---Biggest regret of day would be michigan second half...ohio was playing good basketball, and michigan had major trouble defending them in half-court..felt like that was a sucker play. Before the day started i really only liked one more than the others, that was creighton...they were down 7 at half--so i was very pleased to play them again along with the under...those were my biggest plays of the day, so that was awesome...this is my 3rd or 4th week, i remember when i was 8 and 14---so i have come a long way in a short time..def caught some breaks,but feel i maintained very good discpline...think i can keep it going..especially tommorrow----I feel realy strongly about tommorrow..I have a solid opinion on almost all the games, but def have a few that really stand out---So i will be back tommorrow with more plays---here is one i am registered on: i have 3 i love tommorrow--and the rest will be halftimes:0003

Ohio st first-half(did not play any first halves yesterday) -3.5--------heres my take, i am a fan of zaga and how they play basketball. They shoot the 3 well, and really get after it. However, osu is not taking anyone lightly... I feel osu will come out with extreme intensity and punch zaga in the mouth...I love zagas best player freshman but he hasnt seen anyone like the defensive craft. I really think he will have major problems with craft, thus resulting in some offensive woes ealry..Zaga will have to fiqure out something---prolly at half-time---Really like this play---ohio st first-half -3.5------craft knows bout pangos is tough, and craft is type of kid that takes that personal,and makes it a challenge--he is going to be all over him..Zags love to run and get shots up in transition, (like mich st)-craft did excellent job at mich st where they won with stopping the ball--think he does that tommorrow..few has been quoted as saying he wants the game in the 80's--mata said he would like that as well, maybe over???dunno--i do know i am locked in on the buckeyes first-half -3.5

be back tommorrow as i have at least 2 more---and def a few i am leaning on

You are talking about Pangos for Gonzaga and he's also a freshman and can be very inconsistent at times. See his game against BYU in conference tourney where he looked like a NBA PG and then against St. Mary's he looked awful. Guessing he struggles against Craft. Kind of leaning Zags plus points as this line will sky rocket IMHO. Gonzaga has height to compete, but if Ohio State comes focused, they win by double digits. Thinking this line goes up so bet Ohio State now if you like them or wait and take Gonzaga close to tip for about 9 points.

Thanks for all the 2nd half plays yest... I've never been a 2nd half player but I am now between you and even bet a cpl on my own and went 9-4 on 2nd half bets... Will take that all day and as soon as the game goes to halftime I'm getting online and finding halftime lines lol... But again thanks for the winners and I read all your stuff but just don't always reply... Im liking how you look at all these games... Picking winners and posting them can be tough but keep it up....

Is Vandy a game you are looking at? I've
seen diff guys on both teams... but I was
really liking Vandy.... I know in past few
years they havent had alot of success in
the tourney but I just think this a diff
Vandy team... I mean anybody that can
dust off Ky has to be good.... Vandy got
some damn shooters and I love Jenkins...
I'm thinkin of taking Vandy pretty Big....

i have been back and forth with that game...I think vandy is for real, they have size, and all their guys are physically strong..They look like men among boys vrs a good harvard team..and the ability to shoot the 3 may be the best team at that...On the other hand we have a underrated wisky team (for the first time all year)- i made it a habit playing against this team all year..as i felt they were overvaluled---wisky is not flashy and doesnt look pretty when they win. They are extremely streaky shooting the 3..i have wisky and vandy split in my brackets going to sweet 16. Like taylor in these types of games as he is a good guy to get a hoop when shot clock is winding down..But my gut says vandy is better, and i may pull the trigger on them today---this game isnt in my top plays, but its on my radar...i do think the big ten is underrated coming into the tournament...but vandy appears better

adding a few--here are my top 4 plays---

ohio st first half-3.5(this is my favorite)--i think craft puts hands on pongos, and their mindset is really good right now, they are not taking anyone lightly..believe we see intensity from the tip.

new mexico +1.5--(second)-i have new mexico in every sweet 16 in my brackets, louisville is def capable, but i feel new mexico's strong back-court will out shine cards back-court--felt louisville is overrated...

indiana -6----yes shaka smart is a heck of a coach, and has some athletes out there...However, indiana is super athletic too, and they have 5 guys that can shoot the 3..In the tournament,being able to knock down shots is huge---i like indiana by double digits...

Kentucky first half-6-----------kentucky has so much talent,while iowa st is on one players back... i really feel this game will get real ugly...if they dont cover first half i more than likey will come back with them 2nd half



leans---murray st +5----they have a slew of guards, will be interesting match-up vrs tough marquette back-court.. vandy-1(i think they are the better team)
colorado...they are hot, baylor super talented, dont know if buffs can match that--and play from behind

adding cuse--kansas st 2nd half under-----kansas st is struggling vrs match-up zone, they are having fits getting good shots--and passing alot out front trying to find the cushion--think we see the same from them on offense--resultin in alot of clock ran and bad contested shots
That being said , kansas st is playing real good half-court defense---making cuse work on offense, and kansas st is cleaning up the glass---i think kansas st is live in this game---and think they cover, but only play is the under---Final play kansas st-cuse 2nd half under 70.5

Re: Baylor vs. Colo.
I think Colo. is better this year than last year. Bayl. is probably about the same this year as last. These two teams know each other (Big 12 conference foes last year)
At Waco last year, Bayl. beat Colo. by only 4 pts. Now on a neutral Colo. is getting 8.
I'm taking Colo. +8!

adding ohio st 2nd half huge!!! still like them to cover the game line---so will take the value with them l at half---sully didnt play much with 2 fouls---zaga hurt us on glass but think we see that end--ohio st picked up their intensity with 6min to go--they didnt come out with that intensity--but have shown it late---love this play--biggest play of day for me--bucks wear them down---4.5 ohio st final play 2nd half
