Well I had my Jr prom a few weeks ago and it's not until May the seniors go dancing but today is the hoop version of the Big Dance...The super bowl,world series,stanley cup,Indy 500,the Masters and of course the MAAC basketball finals...just kidding...
I need goergetown to win today for another reason other then my capping them. I have a 9 team parlay going on and I have won the 1st 7 games in it.I have georgetown at pk'm and florida at -3.5.If the Hoyas win then I will just "hedge" my Florida game and split the pot.If Ohio St wins the parlay is over.So I'm trying to be objective in taking the Hoyas today.
Georgetown -1 over Ohio St **
Small play because these two teams are so even. My figures come out at a pick'im game.Not going to write much because you all have heard and read about Hibbert-Oden..etc. This game could be determined by a ref who gives Hibbert his 3rd foul or vice-versa.Hoyas run the Princeton offense with "greyhounds".Ohio St has some freshman gds that are unreal.
This game is really hard.who stays out of foul trouble,who wins the post matchup, what team has better interior passing,rebounds better and who gets the better looks and hits the outside shot. Lean with Hibbert who is a little more experinced,Green can dribble,pass,score and play D.Ohio St does have puppies in Conley and Cook but they sure don't play like them.Small lean towards towards the Hoyas but cheering for them big time..
Florida -3 over UCLA ****
will come back later to explain..Also like both girls games tomr with some strong plays.
A few weeks ago my HS won Odyssey of the Mind in a district competition. We upset 3 high schools that have been regional champs for years.We were the dark horse..the cinderella team.. I'm so proud bragging about the win..head swollen,etc.. but...the flip side of this was...on march 31st the team is in the NY state finals...at SUNY Binghamton...so in about 20 minutres I have to drive 2-3 hours north and cheer my school on. I asked the coach yesterday in school if we win on saturday where do we go? It's East lansing,Mich... The competition of each event is only 8 miniutes long..and I have seen it 6 times...ahhh.. But in the spirt of my HS....lets go team...and lets go Hoyas..
be back tonite..good luck
