Thanks bud! ND was really tough to chew on for several hours as i worked very hard on that and my only concern was the look ahead to today with the MAUI and instate rival IU. It only gets better bro! By the way not giving you a hard time in the other thread just stating my side cause obviously no one will back up VALPO. HAHA anyways BOL to you today and keep up the greak work!

When you play a good team and you lose you come away with two things. The hunger for a win and experience from what you should of done to win the game.

LaSalle as we all know has had three tough loss's and just seems to becoming up short of the mark in each game. I look for a team that has good ft shooting, good bigs, and good 3pt. Which LS has those three in very good numbers.

 

Valpo on the other hand has played inferior competion and has a record of 2-2 while there two wins come from a garbage NAIA school in Marian....A struggling UCF squad.....And there two loss's coming from a strong Iona team, and ok SDiego squad. I really belive this team has the potential to be good but not this year. Valpo has a young team and has a high turnover to assit ratio. Eric Buggs is lighting quick and a decent shooter but is a freshman with no college experience and creates to many rushed shots and turnovers. Now they do have one solid F down low Urule Iqbavboa, this guy has seemed to be the ancor of there squad a 4 year senior who when he gets it going the whole team feeds off him and they seem to be a very talented team. But in there two losses he has been shut down being held to 4 points and 13 points while 9 of those were ft. I look for Yves Mbala who is a very good defense player to shut down Urule and eric buggs to have a tough time getting anything going from the floor while being D up all night by the Junior and anchor of this team Rod Green.

Again any given night any team could shoot 20% from the floor and can lose. So as always trust your reads and do your work for in the end it will pay off> I hopw that you found this helpfull Crus

As always good luck

 

Bird Ive been around here longer than my joined date and you have always been a stand up guy and won of the better cappers on here. I never once took it as a bash I knew you were just stating what you thought and how you gatherd your insite. Keep up the good work. And always trust your reads.

As always good luck

 

What's your take with Iona?....Leaning Southern Miss...

Sox- First look at the strength of schedule of both of these teams. They are very similar in both too where you have to examine your next factors, returning starters, experience, and ft..3pt..fg....

Iona played a tough wisconsin team very close in which I thought they should have came away with the win and prob would have if they didnt shoot back to back threes when only down 1. Anyways thats a whole nother story. Iona has a solid G in milan a very good frosh PG in trinity, and Two solid BIGS in Gary, and Jon. They run a half court offense that involves there bigs getting alot of touches. On the other hand S Miss like to run the ball alot when sometimes that can work into your fav but more hardly then not in a fast break, uptempo offense you rely heavly on your fg% and if your having a off day you can get beat by anyone. Iona is a solid defense squad who doesnt give up many transistion buckets and slows it down on the offensive set. I look for Iona to jump out to an early start control the tempo and never look back. Best of luck in what ever you play.

As always good luck.

 

Love the insight and modesty from you BOOKIE!!  Thanks!

looks like a stand up guy to me, thanks book for the insight. this is my first time looking at your thread if you dont mind me asking, how has your season been going so far, and best of luck to you

Bookie, Everyone was all concerned about the LaSalle line movement, I took them last night @ pick um.  How do you see Texas, their line jumped to 10 then down to 8.5????

Rock- Just really started my season this week. I like to give it a week or two before I start betting seriously. Kinda get a feel for it. The offical plays that I have posted here are always with units.

So my record is 9-1-2 according to all my post that I have made on here. Ive had a hot start and hope it continues. Sorry about the delayed response I was out of my office for a while. Again im sorry for missing as I can see you where looking for some Texas insight. I didnt make this a play for me today because when you have a solid team like texas and a ok squad in St Joe, any time they have a match up it always seems like the inferior team plays out of there mind or alot better just because of the thought of defeating a ranked team. Thats why I had no play on it but if I would had made a play, it would have been 1-2 units texas

 

Rico- again pretty much what i stated above is what I would have done. Best of luck in what ever you chose.

As always good luck

 

TB- Thank you hopefully the cashier likes them as well
