Thursday Plays...

Went 3-0 last time I posted so maybe things are turning when I post... love this game...

Arkansas +3.5 (-120) for 5* vs. Florida - Gators have been poor, especially away from home, but it's not like Arkansas has been any better away from Fayetteville, however, Arkansas is the better team and catching points is huge IMHO as this game is a pick'em at best. Coming off a turd game vs South Carolina for Arkansas, but think they rebound vs a Florida club which doesn't handle the ball very well and isn't even coached as well as Mike Anderson's club. Razorbacks should win, but grab points for insurance. Arkansas maybe isn't on the bubble, but they have some talent and should win SU, but 3.5 is very nice to catch!

Don't see anything else sticking out like this game right now, but will post my finalized plays tomorrow.

Hey DD I think you found a winner. I also found so info about this game. I like Ark more now.

Florida and Arkansas share one common thought as they face off in a second-round SEC Tournament game in Nashville, Tenn. on Wednesday afternoon - win or forget any hopes of playing in the NCAA Tournament. The only certain path to the Big Dance for both teams is an odds-defying four-game run to an SEC championship, although reaching the title game could possibly get the Gators back into the picture.

The ninth-seeded Razorbacks had won four games a row, including a 20-point victory over LSU, before falling 76-61 at home to South Carolina in their regular-season finale. Coach Mike Anderson's team can score points in a hurry thanks to its 3-point shooting (40.2 percent, tops in the SEC), senior point guard Jabril Durham's on-court leadership (39 assists and only three turnovers in the last six games) and the inside presence of 6-10 junior Moses Kingsley (16.1 points per game, 9.2 rebounds). Offense hasn't come as easily for the eighth-seeded Gators, who rank ninth in the SEC in field-goal percentage (42.4), 12th in 3-point percentage (31.4) and 13th in foul shooting (64.3). Making matters worse, center John Egbunu (11.5 points on team-best 56.1 percent shooting) tore ligaments on his right (shooting) hand in practice on Tuesday and though he has been cleared to play, he will be wearing a brace on the hand and coach Mike White admits he doesn't know how effective the redshirt sophomore can be.

Thanks ESPN TED... Also following for the heck of it other than Arkansas... They have the white guy Hannahs I believe is his name who is like the white guy from Hoosiers, doesn't miss much. Can't do much else but shoot, but always nice to have the white guy who can shoot... ask the Clippers with Reddick. Scariest teams are the teams with the one white guy who never misses and 4 athletic brothers. Not prejudice, but a fact!


Baylor -1 (-105) for 5* - Texas is a nice story and Baylor has a lot of talent... Bears win this game SU, but lay a small number. Baylor won @ Texas easily and they're healthy and much longer than Texas in height and just the much better team with regards to athletes. Baylor is a dangerous club where Texas has been coached very well, but hardly dangerous. Shaka is a stud and Scott Drew is rather weak. Might be last time ever Baylor has more talent than Texas as Shaka will make this team similar to Kansas IMHO. Also, winner gets KU and Baylor can beat KU, but I don't think Texas can...

Fordham +5 for 4* - Richmond is terrible and why are they favored? Fordham playing well and should win SU, but will grab 5 for sure!

There was a white guy that can shoot called Larry Bird. Best player I've seen in the days.
