Thursday Plays

[Destructor D]

Didn't post Wednesday and got back on track with a winning night. Having a 3 plays still pending in Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado, but 8-3 so far?

Texas A&M -1.5 for 4.5* - Alabama is 0-8 on the road and Aggies are 13-2 at home? Enough Said!

Michigan State -4 (-120) for 5* - Spartans have been tough on the road and Purdue coming off a huge win over interstate rival Indiana. See Spartans continuing their Big 10 road dominance with Appling back. Spartans finally almost healthy and should win by 5+

Going to take them now instead of wait and see where line goes? can't see it going above 2 points anyway.

North Carolina +2.5 (-120) for 5* - Tough game for both teams, but like the way UNC has been rebounding and like the fact UNC really needs this game and Duke has Syracuse on deck although that game lost some luster with the Orangeman loss tonight. Still, UNC is playing great and showed me they can comeback from a huge deficit at Florida State where they were down 17-3 and 21-6. UNC should win, but grabbing couple points for insurance.

Temple +9.5 (-120) for 4* - UConn coming off huge win and Temple coming off monster win. UConn doesn't have the front court to really exploit Temple's weakness in the post and just don't see UConn winning by double digits.

Pepperdine +1 for 4.5* - LMU is 8-18 ATS and terrible ATS vs. the West Coast Conference. They're not winning this game, but grab the point for the heck of it. Waves will be favored by tip.

BYU -1.5 for 4.5* - Gonzaga has been rolling and crushed the Cougars at home by 15. However, Provo is a whole different animal and BYU is 12-1 at home with one loss vs. Stanford over 3 months ago. See Hawes going off per normal and BYU winning this game behind a LOUD 6th man home crowd. BYU is tough at home!

Nebraska -5 for 4.5* - What in the world is Danny Nee doing with this team? Okay, just wanted a laugh as Nee is probably the best coach ever for Nebraska basketball and they still weren't very good. However, Tim Miles has this team believing and their win @ East Lansing is very impressive. The Huskers have some athletes and they're very tough at home. Penn State was damn lucky to beat Nebraska a few weeks ago and it's payback time in Lincoln as Huskers 9-1 ATS their last 10 games overall.:0074

Can't recall I like this much chalk, but here are my last 2 plays for the day. 6 favorites:00x11

Let's hope I capped these games correctly! If not, I'm still way up for the week.

Toledo -3 (-120) for 4* - Bowling Green has been playing much better, but still feel the Rockets are the best team in the MAC and should take care of business. Playing on National TV should bring the Rockets "A" game. I don't follow the MAC very closely so take it FWIW.

Memphis -8 for 4.5* - Line just dropped a point so I'll bite. Only concern is Memphis players point shaving as anyone who witnessed their game against UCF had the same concern. They really let up once they were close to the number. However, Memphis is 9-2 ATS on the road and Rutgers is 2-7 ATS their last 9 including a real debacle of a 48 point loss to Louisville their last game. I feel the Scarlet Knights have basically quit and the strong backcourt of Memphis should provide another beating for Jersey Shore.

Danny Nee best coach at NU ever? Nah!! Mo Iba!!

Iba took the Huskers to one NCAA tourney, Nee took them to 5. Iba is the son of the great Henry, but his coaching ability... ?

7-2 night... Nice posting winners at a 78% clip

You are correct, I just disliked Danny Nee....just busting chops there Big "D". Great night for ya last night!!

You gotta love a program like Nebraska and Moe Iba who had a player named Carl McPipe, and one of best players in his era, Jerry Fort.
