2009 YTD (149-115-1) +48.22 Units 56% 

MU YTD (9-5) +.3U 64%

NCAA TOURNEY (0-0) 30 Unit goal

Well fellas, the best time of the year is finally here.  It has been a great regular season and now it time for an even better post season.  I will only be playing NCAA Tourney games (no NIT) this post season.  Last year the NIT really fucked up my overall winnings, so I'm gonna stay away as far as possible that is unless I see something to good to pass up.  I'm looking for early value and solid value only in the post season.  Not forcing action, cause I want to double my winnings this year.  I have a few early leans already and will be locking a few plays up shortly.  As always, positive feedback welcome.  


LEANS
• Richmond -1.5
• Kentucky -20
• Tennessee -2.5
• Marquette -2
• Vandy -3
• Pitt -10
• Xavier +1
• Baylor -11



I def have tons of capping to do still, but these are the plays I'm diggin so far.  Like I said I might be locking a few plays later today. Any thoughts and/or feedback?

I hope not! I'll be honest, I don't like this match up for them.

tmp...what's up bro?

Hate to say it, being a Pitt fan and hating the Irish, but I really like them against OD.  They are playing some of the best ball in the country right now and finally understand that they have to D it up to win.  Their guards will win this game for them.

Not sure I can lay DD in any tourney game this year, seems like the differences between the seeds just isn't what it use to be

Here's to an awesome tourney, keep up your awesome season!

tmp...I don't get everyone making a big deal that Old Dom beat Gtown 3 months ago so they will beat ND.  Look at ND last 10 games, they crushed Gtown, Pitt and others all better than anyone OD has played.  OD has built up stats vs inferior competiton all year so you can't compare them to ND's, two different leagues.  I see ND by 8-10, what are your thoughts?

I will be playing the NIT hard again this year... did well in the NCAA last year, but hit around 80% in the NIT. 

Good luck in the tourney this year, I'm backing your Golden Eagles in Round 1!

I agree with you on this point. I knew before we saw the lines I was going to try and fade some of the bigger spreads this year.

personally i love our draw...i think we have a decent shot to make it to the sweet 16. People say our size will hold us back as we are the shortest in the field, but washington is the 6th shortest in the field.
