THURSDAY ACTION

[RexBudler]

V TECH - 3......220/200
Looking for Vtech to take care of business here at home. They are playing some good ball winning 4 in a row and I think they will have some confidence after the Gtech win to take care of business here. I am hoping they dont have a letdown as I really think this VA squad sucks

MOREHEAD ST - 5........220/220 :scared :scared

back later, gl to ALL and have a nice day

 

[RexBudler]

AZ - 2........165/150
I am actually a big fan of this UW team and they can beat you in many ways. But I think AZ gets some revenge for the 3 losses UW handed them last year. Looking for Salim to go off for 25 +

good luck rex
i'm going to coattail you on v.tech, love seth greenberg as their coach. was coach at my alma mater (l.b.st.) while i was there... great guy!
i think huskies win because they have depth that wildcats cannot match... this will be a trackmeet with both teams getting 80+ points.

Arizona...difference is this year we can and actually play defense....wash still plays no defense.

home court wins....mckale will be rocking

you missed all the catergories where washington in upper tier...
i'm not saying zona is not good just that if huskies swept them last year, this year's huskies are much better... wildcats are good team but at home their ats record is 4-6 is year... should be a fun game to watch, good luck

 

[gjn23]

huh?

those are all the defensive categories that matter

4-6 ats....all with double digit spreads but 10-0 s/u and now here comes a game where az is laying 2, with triple revenge........think az wins by DD

Gjn23....How can you say Zona has better defense this year? The last couple games have been decent, but they had a stretch of 4-5 games where they gave up over 50% FG to their opponents. That's not good "D" to me. If they were better this year than last year I'd have to question that.....not knocking you or Zona at all. I was just referring to facts. I consider FG% a huge part on how I judge a team's defense, but maybe they've played well in other areas. I've just been actually shocked myself on how poor their defense has been and when you said your comment I took a double look.....GL with Zona guys! You definetly have an edge with homecourt......

 

[RexBudler]

3-0 + 550. Cya tomorrow
