on this game, if i'm not sure alot of times i'll wait to the 2nd half to play the game, i've been doing it for about 2 years, and to be honest i have i have made more money betting 2nd half lines than picking the spread for the game. I just don't have time to post alot of 2nd half plays, besides most betters on this board don't seem to understand or are not experienced at betting the 2nd half of a game. But that doesn't mean i have'nt handicapped the game and spread, and when it is wacko like today with one team blowing out the other and the way temple has been playng it was easy for me to take temple in the 2nd half

im not talking about picking teams for the 2nd half.

im sick of teams blowing huge leads, ive never seen anything like it. manhatten outscored by 20 in the 2nd! to many thugs playing who dont give a damn anymore. NCAA is becoming more and more like the NBA every year..




grrr

up 10 with less than 5 minutes laying 1.5 and the Mo Phuckers lose in over time, i like you was mad as hell, also i had kent in the 2nd half -1 up by 20 with 12 minutes to play and they win by 3, i absolutely wanted to puke.

these guys care.....they care a lot.....they get tight when they are up and the other teams play loose.....hard to overcome that......

but i really thnk that collaspes in the 2nd half has alot to do with coaching, some of them really screw up when their team is up big, i really think it's easier to coachh from behind than with a 15-20 point lead, its' the head coaches responsibilty to keep drilling drilling the players that their are 2 halves to each game, but coaches can choke also, look at duke's coach K, he is probabaly the best halftime motivator in the game, and his players do listen or they'll be on bench.
