utah pk

will put together a thread in the coming days with some concrete info.

will be interesting to see the uab/washington total. should be a shitload of points scored there.

also gonna probably play byu but think that line will get to 3 or 3.5

don't like the utah pick, i think bc will handle them

 

[genosays]

Figured you would be on ETSU .... like them as well, however will be interested to hear later why you like Utah?? Can't see that one although that is probably good for your play

 

[Blackman]

Was hoping to get points with Utah, BC is often a garbage favorite. Not sure if I'll play that game though, will have to see where the line moves.

Love the higher seeded Louisville as a favorite angle - Xavier had a nice run but Louisville is one of the best double digit seeds I can remember.

 

[gman2]

interesting that you guys both mentioned the same game.

this kinda reminds me of last year when i played utah on the moneyline over oregon and everyone thought i had lost my mind.

utah is just a good tournament team. theyre super-disciplined, theyre big on the interior, and jacobsen is dangerous on the perimeter. to me, boston college is actually a great matchup for them. the teams utah cant handle are teams that are potentially explosive and can run. bc doesnt run enough or score enough to strike any fear into me.

geno - im moneylining etsu as well. theyre legitimately capable of winning that game.

i see some live dogs likeetsu murray st. manhatten princeton

i just thought that BC played the slow down game with pitt pretty well, the final score wasn't indicative of the game....of course i could be wrong...gl w/the tourney

I would note that Texas played Princeton last year so that should help them.

I would note that Texas played Princeton last year so that should help them.

memory fails me. either texas won convincingly or texas won by only like 4 or 5 points. which one am i thinking of?

 

[Sun Tzu]

Texas shot 22% and won by 3. Actually had a spell where they didnt score for 10 minutes (sound familiar?).

 

[Got5onIt]

love the Louisville & LA-Laf plays!
I'm playing these as well as Bama & TxTech.

 

[The Big Tease]

gman...i gotta say that utah is the biggest bunch of unathletic goofoffs that i have seen play all year. that team doesnt have any business in the tournament, talentwise. now with that being said, i am sure that utah will go ahead and win that game.....lol

i just dont see it. but not long before we find out

 

[Pujo21]

Like your plays !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like your plays !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G MAn is right about that Jacobsen.. he is deadly and clutch. Good game.


Hey GMAN,

Did ya get a chance to look at UTEP vs. Maryland @ Mile High Denver.

I see 12:40 Eastern Time start ( if that's correct ). 10:40 am Mountain time. Marylands' breakfast should be coming up in that altitude. I'd say around the 10 minute mark of the second half.
UTEP should like this altitude.
