Tuesday Plays...

[Destructor D]

Coming off a nice night and been relatively hot lately. Playing a couple to start?

Kansas -7 (-120) for 6.5* - A homer play, but also really like the way KU matches up with the Red Raiders. TT doesn't guard people very well and they aren't very quick. KU should roll to a nice win, but TT has already knocked off Baylor & Okie State at Lubbock so tread lightly.

St. John's -8 (-120) for 4* - Butler has changed conferences a couple times in recent years (Horizon, A-10, & now BE) and with their least talented club in recent years, the Big East is proving to be too much. St. John's has arguably the most talent in the Big East and with Harrison starting to play lights out, they're proving to be a cash cow for their backers recently. Going to keep taking this money train.

Will have more later today.

Georgia +10 (-120) for 4* - Vols coming off another devastating loss and don't see them winning by double digits against a Georgia club which has won 4 straight and sits at 8-6 in the SEC. If Georgia can knock off Tennessee, they will be making a strong case for NCAA consideration as they already own a victory @ Missouri. Vols are far more talented, but have never really played well together this season while Georgia is overachieving and should give Martin's club a difficult game.

Texas +5 for 5* - Iowa State is just 1-9 ATS their last 10 games. I also don't believe they matchup well with the size of Texas in the paint. Cyclones were lucky to beat TT on Saturday and not too sure they beat the Longhorns who easily handled them in Austin. Other than their K-State debacle, Texas has been playing very well.

Clemson -3 (-120) for 4* - More of a fade NC State coming off a devastating loss vs. Syracuse. Clemson needs wins to make the NCAA tourney and think they have a team they can beat tonight. Wolfpack have been playing better, but my guess is they lay a turd tonight.

Wake Forest +11 for 3* - Playing very small, but feel Maryland might be in the same mood as NC State after they should have beaten Duke on Saturday night. Terps have also improved, but not sure they should be favored by double digits against anyone in the ACC. Turgeon has these kids playing hard, but tough to get up for WF after expending so much energy in a tough loss to Duke.

Adding Louisville -22.5 for 4* - Not wild about laying a huge number, but in this case, I believe it makes sense. South Florida coming off horrible home losses to Rutgers (yes, same Rutgers team L'ville beat by 48!) and Central Florida. Louisville already beat USF by about 40 at their place. Game could be close for a half, but see the Cards extending margin of victory to about 30 anyway. Public play so beware.

Utah State +10 for 4.5* - Aztecs continue to win, but not necessarily impressively. See an improving Utah State club giving them everything they want!

Ole Miss +5 (-120) for 4.5* - Huge concern with Kentucky coming out pissed and the fact Kentucky has such a MONSTER edge in the front court. However, I'll take my chances with Ole Miss as their guard play has been terrific with Summers playing a solid PG while Henderson is a hit or miss SG who should be amped with the Kitties coming to town. KY not the same team on the road in general and like grabbing the 5.

Providence +5 for 4* - Villanova coming off a debacle vs. Creighton and see them having a difficult time recovering and winning by any significant margin, especially since Friars will come pumped with a chance to really help their resume with a win.

Iowa -3 for 4.5* - When it comes to basketball, Iowa doesn't stand for Idiots Out Wondering Around anymore? it stands for I Otta Win Again. The Hawkeyes are playing very well and the Hoosiers appear to be a sinking ship. See the Hawkeyes who are still challenging for the Big 10 title prevailing in this matchup by more than 3 points.

Looking like a 4-5-1 and unprofitable day with Utah State looking terrible. Even if they have a miracle comeback, will still finish in the black. Shitty night. Oh well, at least we have tomorrow:shrug:
