the fun never stops at ol' loophole's thread, with a sparkling 1-3 last night to go with our already dazzling season record and pound it down to the unexplored depths at 3-10. i may have had a worse run in college hoops but not one that i can remember (selective amnesia and all). in order to illustrate the monolithic intellect that goes into such astute analysis, i thought i would throw in a few words of insight into the workings of such a savant-like handicapping mind. without further ado, step forward and take tonight's medicine:
vcu +10: hilltoppers short a slew of players tonight, including prime filet chris marcus. vcu experienced in the backcourt which should dominate the action.
drake +1: i'll buy into the in-state revenge storyline, it's just too tempting. helps that drake is a veteran team with strong homecourt and iowa rebuilding a team that has performed poorly on the road of late. so what if i'm betting into a 34 year losing streak - with a record like mine you can play a little loose in the hips.
'
nevada +2: i can't for the life of me see 20-odd points worth of change in these two teams from last year.
geo southern +9: i followed the southern conference quite a lot last year and was impressed with coach price's team. while vandy squished alabama a&m at home last game, what struck me was their 26 to's against an inferior foe. that dog won't hunt against geo so, who play an up-tempo game and feature talented and experienced guard play.
e was -9: i made some decent dough on this team last year, and they should be improved this season. for all appearances st mary's should still be cannon fodder on the road.
good luck if you play these, you're probably going to need it.
