Mich St +2 over Purdue **
Sparts at home play better...Pur just beat Ohio St by 1 and lost to Iowa on the road...

St Bonnies 7.5 over St Joes *****
Think Bonnies win this by double d's....Mobsly is one of the best gds in the country..Adams his partner is just as good....these two have to be the top 3 or 4 tandem gds in the country...Gregg inside controls the bds...Bonnies will be in trouble when they play a good post player and 2 strong fds inside.. Joes has neither...with Newkirk gone they lost to much despite Demery coming back...Bonnies avg almost 85 ptd a game..their problem is they give up 80 on defense..but Joes doesn't have enough offense to keep pace...could be an over game because Joe on the road give up a ton of points...

Kansas +4,5 over West Vir ****
If you saw the way WV played its last 2 games on defense this game looks so easy..think Huggy Bear makes some adjustments but won't be enough...think everyone is jumping on what WV did to Baylor...think Jayhawks win this out right...love Carter for WV but Kansas inside should win the paint....Mason on top is tough to press...you better make sure your press is working because WV will pay a price if it doesn't....KU avgs 80 pts a game..shoots 50% FG....they didn't look sharp vs Texas the other nite...think tonite they will

Maryland -11 over Rutgers ****
RU has lost 7 of 8..did beat Neb at home to get a B-12 win...but playing in College Park is different then the RAC..RU new coach is good but this team cannot shoot from the outside...from the 3 they shoot 28% ranked around 330th...Sanders,Freeman,etc are decent players but Terps defense will stop them...Terps playing tough defense and on offense have Melo and co....Terps win by 15-20...only chance Rutgers has in the Big 10 is playing home games in NJ... and lets not forget..in the past 2 yrs in the Big -10 they are 0-18...make that 0-19 after tonite..

Kentucky -10 over Tenn **
Even with Fox out they roll...


Houston -17 over Tulane ***
Coogs win in a blowout....they have played some tough teams the past week....think they take it out on the Wave that can't score or play any defense

Nova -5.5 over Marq **
Marq is good..esp after beating the Jays w/o Watson....Nova brings them down off the cloud tonite...

Yest 7-5 +5*'s

Lost all 3 MAAC games...by a half pt and a point..and with a minute to go in both those games they were covering...Griffs fell asleep at the wheel vs Naigara...but when you lose 2 games in the last possessions you sometimes get them right back like last nite.......have OU +2.3..Texas up 6-8 pts with a minute or two.. Texas panics..OU comes back and is leading by 2 with a few seconds...Davis hits a 3 at the buzzer...Texas wins by 1 and I win too....in the Texas St-UL Monroe game...Texas up 10 with 30 seconds...with the ball....they miss the FT's,UL scores...down 8...turns it over UL scores ,down by 6... with 5 seconds left Tex in bounds...UL is going to foul nooooo. I have UL +7...but Tex throws a wide open Brady football pass at mid court....Tx player could score uncontested layup with 4 seconds...but he doesn't go for the layup and pulls out..buzzer goes off Tex wins by 6.. I cover...now the reason he pulled out was because about 1 minutes before that they had a break away play...Conley the Tx player decided to do a slam dunk..he missed the uncontested dunk because Kasper the coach wanted him to pull the ball out and take some time off the clock....Kasper went off on him and pulled his butt out...so less then a minute later the same thing happens and that Tx player dribbled the clock out and refused to score....thank you coach....I wanted Texas and Texas St to win...and they did..and I went against both and won....
Dog lover...got to the fork in the road on 71...left goes to Waco and Erwin Center...right goes to San Antonio on I-35....made a right and ended up in San Marcos..game started at 7...got home and watched the last 8 minutes of the OU-Texas game on TV..what a game...you must of had a blast unless you took Texas -2.5 lol

Great writeups as always box.

Just heard that Melo may not play for the Terps. Some sort of illness? I'm not sure if that changes your play on them.

Good luck, and thanks for your hard work here. I make sure to read your posts every day before I make my plays.

Thanks Buffalo Bill
I did know a little about Melo...but checking on it again...thank you though...I know Cek is out and the other gd who I forgot his name...will still keep the same play...every time I make a change I swear the original play wins good luck tonite,,thanks for the heads up ..appreciate that..if was someone other then Rutgers would probably change....love the Rutgers coach and if he can get some of his own recruits they will start win...

Couldn't play Texas as a fav, but did win with them in a teaser with Quinn. Texas not good enough to be favored
over any team in the Big 12, but can cover with points. Led the entire game until the last 2 minutes, then collapsed. Got lucky with miracle finish with two 3's in the last few seconds. OU helped by missing free throws.
Great finish, I'm hoarse today from yelling!! Glad you got to see the ending. Maybe see you next Wednesday vs. TX. Tech.
GL always. Dl.
