Tuesday Hoops Winners

I have a strong feeling that I'm going to have a MONSTER DAY!

Chaminade +14 for 6* - LSU doesn't have a solid bench plus playing a road game will make matters difficult IMO.

Princeton +9 for 6* - ASU looked horrid last night and unprepared. Sure the Sun Devils have a lot of young and raw talent, but they'll have a difficult time extending the margin for a double digit win IMO.

Marquette -2 (-120) for 6* - After watching Oklahoma State play defense in the 2nd half vs. LSU, I have no problems laying a bucket with a solid and well coached Marquette club.

Missouri -4 for 6* - I was very unimpressed by Maryland last night. They're weak up front and don't handle the basketball very well. This is a bad matchup playing the Tigers in front of a partisan crowd in Kansas City.

UCLA -3 (-120) for 6* - Bruins will have too much in the post for Michigan State and defensively, UCLA is the best in the country and they'll knock off Michigan State by 6 or 7 points anyway.

I took all my games at premium numbers which always helps. I'lll be playing Duke/Illinois as well, but undecided which way to play right now. A solid number @ 6.5 as I was going to play Duke at 5 or less and Illinois @ 8 or more... this means I should pass, but I'll wait for line movement.

agree with your take on the princeton game... princeton was down 38-8 10m into the 1st half last night and cut it to 14 at one point, i believe before leveling out at 22. they never let up or gave up, played hard the whole game and their coaches will let them know they still have something to play for here after playing with a good duke team for 30m.

marquette seems to be a lock today, and i can't believe how low that UCLA line is against MSU. ucla looks very good, deserving of that co-#1.

good luck today!

DD - looks like a good card man. GL to you.

 

[Toledo Prophet]

Like the UCLA pick as well....think their D just locks down MSU and Neitzel, plus MSU expended a lot of energy last night playing and holding off Mizzou.

Good luck. I'll be on the Bruins with you!

Imagine if UCLA had Collison they would crush them. He would shut down Nietzel.

Nice call on the 1st one.. I have all of the same today.... Incl. Princeton 1st H

Adding the following:

St. Mary's +4 (-120) for 6* - Not very impressed with the Dux defensively and I believe it will cost them tonight.

NC-Wilmington +22 for 4* - I got beat by these guys on Sunday, but they should hang within 22 tonight IMO.

Illinois +8 (-120) for 6* - Worried as it's Illini 3rd game in less than 4 days, but Webber should keep his team competitive. Hopefully their legs don't give out, but I like the way Illini big men matchup with Duke.

Nice to add some dogs for tonight's card. It's too bad Princeton completely fell apart in the 2nd half, but hopefully I'll have a monster night.

Also took Illinois 1st half +4 for 3* & UCLA 1st half -2.5 for 3*... sorry I didn't post sooner, but I've been busy. Really like the Illini and Bruins tonight. UCLA does scare me as Izzo is such a good coach, but I don't think they'll have enough tonight.

Heard on another site.

Scout.com reporter on the Mich State message board has said that Tom Izzo has ruled Drew Neitzel out of tonights game vs. UCLA. My guess is that it's accurate.

Must admit that I have a tough time thinking that MSU can win tonight without Neitzel. He's their leader and go to guy.

Thought I would let you know
