Wednesday Plays...

[Destructor D]

Only one play I really like early...

Memphis @ Southern Miss - Eustachy's boys have gone undefeated at home and should have knocked off Memphis @ the Fed Ex Forum (not 100% sure they don't still play @ Pyramid). Southern Miss lost by 2 points and the game was very close throughout if I remember correctly. I still can't stand the Memphis coach Josh Pastner who is 34 years old. He young and really dumb IMHO. Horrid in close games as he cost me the Tennessee game cover in Maui and the UCF game already. He doesn't understand when to use timeouts and his team runs zero offense, but they're so talented they get away with street ball against inferior competition. I think this game will be tight, but Eustachy will make the smart adjustments and the Golden Eagles will win in front of a likely sellout crowd. 1st place is on the line in C-USA. Still not going huge as Memphis is the more talented team, but they have struggled at times on the road. Southern Miss just beat UCF by 13 at their place and Memphis just lost a close game at UCF if you like comparative scores.

Southern Miss -1.5 (-120) for 3.5*

GLTA, will have plenty more, but think tomorrow's card looks tough!

Indiana @ Michigan - Wolverines just got done playing 3 straight road games and now come to their friendly home known as Chrysler Arena where they're undefeated. Michigan lost a tough game @ IU earlier this season and Michigan also just f*cked their backers hard @ Ohio State over the weekend (covering the whole game until 15 seconds left & scoring 49 points to not cover by a single point!) I'm a little worried backing Michigan based on the one day layoff, but these are college kids and Michigan's home crowd should give them plenty of juice when they're tired.

Michigan -3 (-120) for 3.5* - Smaller play as Michigan coming off a tough Nationally Televised game and not 100% sure they'll be focused. Indiana also coming off breaking triple digits which is rare in college hoops these days (how I long for the early 90's Loyola Marymount teams with Gathers, Kimble, and Fisher).

 

[Destructor D]

Boise State @ San Diego State - Boise State almost knocked off UNLV last week @ home and came close @ TCU. I think the Broncos come ready @ SDSU as the Aztecs looked horrid on Saturday (watched some of their game and couldn't believe how poorly they played).

Boise State +12 for 3.5*

Minnesota @ Iowa - If the Gophers want to make the tourney, this is a must win IMHO.

Gophers ML +100 for 3.5*

Rutgers @ Providence - Realize Rutgers has been very tough @ home this season and also realize Rutgers is 4-5 in the Big East while Providence is 1-8. However, Rutgers just one true road victory and I don't think they pick up their 2nd tonight.

Providence -1 for 3.5*

 

[Destructor D]

I have a BUNCH of favorites for tonight...:scared

UConn @ Georgetown - Both teams are really struggling and I realize UConn has been battling some injuries and realize UConn had a tough practice after laying a turd @ home vs. Notre Dame. However, I like G'Town giving up the 2 points to the struggling Huskies. The Hoyas haven't looked good either, but think they'll rise to the occasion and knock off the defending champs @ home.

G'Town -2 (-120) for 4*

Drake @ Indiana State - Both teams coming off multiple OT victories I believe, but I'll take the generous points with Drake as they're 6-5 in conference and already whipped Indiana State a month ago.

Drake +6 for 3*

Baylor @ Texas A&M - Would love this play if Middleton was playing, but he's not... however, Bears continue to play a little soft and this is a HUGE chance for the Aggies to make some serious noise tonight. Guessing they have a healthy crowd and also think they'll give Baylor plenty of problems. Aggies have gone 5-1 ATS their past 6 games while Bears are something like 1-4 ATS their past 5 as well.

Texas A&M +7 for 4*

Oklahoma @ Kansas - Line seems way too big based on how Kansas has been playing, but I'm a Kansas homer and going to back them. Not a smart play, but have faded Kansas against Aggies and Cyclones recently. Just a hunch Kansas rolls something like 81-58 tonight.

Kansas -17 for 6* - Homer Alert!

I was leaning to OU +17 just based on the MU "Game of the Century" factor, but I will lay off it knowing you are making it a big play. It certainly wouldnt shock me to see them roll by 25 after the Cyclone debacle. GL Are you getting out tonight or is wifey out? May have to drop by for a half if so?

 

[Destructor D]

Going out tomorrow night, Friday, and Saturday so taking it easy tonight. Brutal loss on Gophers and tough loss on Drake. Did play Rhode Island Small, Thunder, and Jazz +4, but didn't post them.

 

[Destructor D]

Well 7-2 on posted plays if Boise holds on to cover which looks very likely and 9-2 overall with Jazz +4 pending.... another nice day! Sorry didn't post everything, but got busy! Jazz don't look so hot 2nd half so might be a loser to end the day and finish 9-3:0074
