Thursday Recap & Friday's Selections

[snoozing]

Thursday 2-1-1

NC state ?22 Push
Eastern Michigan (Washington) +20 Win
California ?11 Win
Miss -5.5 Lose

Season 4-1-1

Eastern Washington better team than creited and St. Joe, though good should never have been a top 10 preseason selection (maybe 25-30). Do not expect EW to top Cal tonight -waiting on spreads. NC State let up in the closing minutes - could have covered - lesson learned! Cal easily over a tough "Ivy" leader - could have scored more. Should not have taken Miss!

Back later with Friday's picks.

Let's not go crazy after one game..St. Joe's lost to an inferior team, but certainly have a team that warranted a Top 15 ranking to begin the season. There aren't 25 or 30 better teams in the country. One loss, albeit a major upset, doesn't automatically discard St Joe's as a very good basketball team, Top 15 caliber team.

Hoops, you my be right about St. Joe - watched them several times a couple of years ago while in Philly - just think them giving 20 last night was too much. I am actually on them tonight giving 10 against Princeton.

Friday's Picks

St Joe -10
Cincinnatti +5
Seton Hall even
SW Mizzou St -10

Strong lean toward Tenneessee - any thoughts?

Thanks & LOLTA

I agree about St Joe's last night...teams that are in a new 'environment', such as they are with all the publicity and high rankings, etc..sometimes don't respond well early in the season...buying into the hype, in a larger favorite role than usual..and last nights game was a good indication.
