Wed hoops...

[Box and one]

Miss +5 over Tenn **

UConn -12.5 over USF ****
Huskies were finally playing better..then they ran into Cinncy.....won a few in a row...beat USF already 80-61 ....USF cannot play any defense..rank in he 330's in def scor,Fg%,etc...they also can't score and one of the worst FT shooting teams in the country...they have lost 11 straight I think....Ollie's kids need a game like this to make people forgot the 1st half of the season..think they win big tonite...

Ohio St -10.5 over Rutgers **
Nites finally won a B-10 game....but last yr they lost here in Columbus 94-68...maybe a little closer tonite...

Fordham +2 over LaSalle *
Only because LaSalle is missing BG and Pookie their two best players....if you can't beat LaSalle in your gym w/o their 2 top scorers get out of the A-10 and join the Ivy...

South Daka +6.5 over IUPI **
SD just covers every week....

Houston -10 over Tulane *****
Coogs can score but play great defense...they just beat a good UCF team 82-64...they avg 74 pts agame and can shoot the 3 at 40th% ranking them 40th in the country...they are ranked No 1 defense in the AAC...they have one of the best 2 gd tandems in college in Grey and Dotson...avg 20 and 16 pts...Robinson there pt gd has 101 assists....there a little weak inside esp with Knowles their top rebounder and shot blocker questionable for tonite..He is 6'10 and could be missed....but Tulane doesn't have much offense on the inside...Reynolds is their top scorer and he is a fd...Wave rank last on defense giving up 78 pts a game...Waves perimeter defense is bad ....think Coogs gds dominate tonite...Wave is 4-19 and 2-8 at home..although Coogs are only 3-4 on the road they have lost to the Cinncy's and Smoos...think they win this by 15-20....

last nite
6-7 -5*'s..
Texas-Iowa St game was great to watch..had a good time with Doglover and his friends....Doglover let me sit in his wife's seat....she went to see "Dancing with the Stars" across town...lol

Buddy,thanks....I spent awhile on the Cinncy game....I made my line at -10 or -11..this morning i saw it at -13 so I passed....don't have my notes in front of me but I watched Cen F beat Memphis the other nite...BJ and Williams are both outstanding gds..Taco is there only real inside player and the Cinncy guys could easily out muscle him...CF lost a few in a row but did play Smoo tough and lost by a few...CF plays tough defense..but Cinncy is loaded...love Calpain the pt gd...Washington..forgot the others name...they play great defense...I know Cinncy is undefeated at home..watched the XU game too....Washington weighs about 240 and is 6'9....he could put Taco out on one hit..Clark and the other kid are tough...inside....think -13 isn't to bad and did throw them in a small parlay.. I like Cronin as a coach....he lost 2 big time scorers last yr and still continues to win....good luck tonite..

They have all the advantage plays shaded about 6 points except North Dakota and that game won't bring alot of action of couse and because they are all at home they are already shaded 3 points.

And these guys keep asking me why I play MLs .LOL
