Friday was very good to me, as I went 3-0 ... my homework really paid off. Had a couple of other leans that went on to be winners so it seems like things are clicking at the right time.
RECORD: 81-70-2 YTD 54%
Wake Forest -6.5 <-- Tough to go against the Deacs in this spot, who will be seeking a little bit of revenge after losing to NC State by 2 last month. Wake at home have been no slouch, as they are 14-2 SU and 7-3-1 ATS. In addition, this is situationally good for WF, who are 6-2 SU in home games following a road game, and 5-2 SU following a road loss. NC State has been major fade material on the road, having lost 7 straight and going 1-6 SU in conference play on the road, losing by an average of 19.3 ppg. Senior day emotions and the revenge match-up will have Wake fired up... Deacs rolls here by DD's.
UAB 1H +7.5, Memphis -14 <-- UAB has been looking forward to this game for three weeks now... Senior day in Memphis, and I think Joey Dorsey has a big game, as he got into foul trouble early and finished with only 1 point. Memphis is simply the better, more athletic team, and I see them covering this line with no problem. Vaden and company should come out strong and keep the score below the line until the Tigers kick it in gear in the second half.
Syracuse PK <-- I'll admit this is a homer pick, so take this write up with a grain of salt, but like the previous 6 games, this is a must win for the Orange as they currently sit on the outside looking in for the tournament. Syracuse hasn't missed back-to-back NCAA appearances since the late eighties (don't quote me on that but it's been a while...) and basically need a win today and a strong showing in the BE tournament to make a convincing argument. Physically, this is a good matchup for the Orange and Marquette's two losses to Louisville show that Marquette can be held in check by a deep zone defense. The dome should be packed again, as I'm expecting close to 30,000 people, and should give Syracuse an edge in this matchup. Syracuse simply needs this game a whole lot more than Marquette does and so expect this game to have a playoff atmosphere; my bet is on the Orangemen.
More to come...
