Ohio St. got killed on the boards against a mediocre Iowa St. team and it took a blown ref call for them to pull out a win. AZ is a much better rebounding team than ISU. AZ is a better rebounding team than OSU has faced all year. OSU is better at steals/turnovers and AZ is better at rebounding. Throw in a "home court" and travel advantage and taking the points is an easy call. The last time AZ played a sweet 16 game at the Staples Center they blew out the Dukies two years ago. AZ was an 8 point dog in that one if I remember correctly.

Holy crap...,I had Wisky & the under. I was swearing up a storm. This keeps happening to me this year. Luckily, I still won both bets.

Colorado choked away a big lead at AZ, and it was impossible to determine if the last shot was good or bad
(absolutely impossible). Shots have to be shown to be "good" on replay. They are not considered "good" until proven "bad". This is not the NFL. Check the college rule book. The replay speaks for itself. Colorado player held the ball too long for the last shot then banked it in. Now to the game... AZ is better than Colorado. Colorado has played well against AZ since they joined the PAC. The secret on AZ is that they always start slow at home. They actually play better away from home for some reason. The fans will be geeked in Boulder and looking to pounce on the zebras for every call. This should be a great game to watch. Colorado +3 is tempting in a close game. Colorado is 9-1 at home as well. Small AZ money line for me..I will be watching closely and may make a big halftime bet. Watch the AZ freshmen big men in the first half to see if they are productive. Also watch if AZ is settling for jacked-up three pointers.

One more thing...they have one the lowest assist-to-field goal ratios in America (343/347). Do you know what that means? All they do is dribble-dribble-dribble shoot...no passing. They are a 100% jump shooting team that has the worst 3 pt shooting percentage in the Big 10. Sucker showcase putting your money on this team I am trying to help you guys out.

Illinois is pure trash. They have one big player (Egwu) who leads the Big 10 in fouling. They are a one-trick pony that only jacks up threes. They started the season hot behind the arc, but they are last in the Big 10 in 3-pt shooting since conference play began. Indiana dominates in every aspect of the game. Blowout by Indiana. Easiest game on the board tonight. Illinois is 0-4 in their last 4 home games with an average loss by 12.75 points. How you guys think they are a good bet is beyond me. Have you watched them play the last 3 weeks?

Michigan at Illinois, Kenpom predicts a 6 point spread right now and that should go up. Illinois is the worst team in America right now. Worst performance by a major team in history tonight as Illinois gets embarrassed by Northwestern. That's the third beatdown in a row. Illinois still has the rep points from their early season wins. Don't ask me how a team can win at Gonzaga and then drop the world's biggest turds 3 games in a row. Any team that can defend the three and has one decent big man will beat them. Slowpoke Northwestern (who just got pounded by 20 & 28 in their last two home games) treated Chief Illinewek like Mike Tyson treats his dates. Michigan will win by 20. Get ready to pound this one. |

I bet on Uconn for the first half, now I am loading up on the 2nd half money line on Louisville. Louisville was playing short-handed and still had easier shots in the first half. Uconn had the lucky bank-in 3 + the weird layup at the end of the half when the Cards thought the half was over. That's 5 free points right there. Cards had better looks the first half and it should even out in the second half.

I was liking OSU...but the odds went to 4.5, and I bought the hook to get 5. Too many points in what will be a close game. KU center is legit. Gut says OSU..but the brain likes the points.

After some analysis....EWash's stats are garbage everywhere except they boast an OK 34.5% 3-pt shooting pct. Looking deeper, you see that 50% of their shots are 3-pt shots. That is the second highest percentage in the country. Looking at Weber St stats, they are better than EWash's across the board and they boast the 4th best 3 point shooting defense in America!
Prediction Weber St. shuts down the one dimensional EWAsh and covers. |

Wyoming plays slow and mucks it up. I hate giving 8 points to a team that might bore you into submission. I put a little on a the Ill St money line in a parlay.

Arizona is 4-0 against the spread and are pile-driving teams. On the inside, they have 3 top 15 High school big men (including a 7 footer) that rotate on the 4 & 5. On the outside, they have the #3 best 3-pt shooting percentage in America. Oh yeah, on the wing they have Solomon Hill who is a 6'7", can shoot the three, and is a nominee for pac-12 player of the year.
So Miss has no players over 6'7". They will start the game in a zone. AZ has no weaknesses, and they will be 7-0 against the spread after they pummel Florida. After that, the spreads will be ridiculous. The only reason the spreads are not larger is that AZ was sloppy and allowed the opponents to shoot 3's for the first 3 games. They were so far ahead they did not defend. The last two games the team was challenged by the coach and they shut the 3 point shooters. Bet large while you can..... |

I will give you guys the scoop on USC. I primarily bet on PAC-12 basketball so I know my garbage. USC was the biggest moneymaker in America last year (if you bet against them and bet the under). They could not score, but they played tough defense. Their crazy clown coach is a hard-core defensive nut. Going into this year, USC is loaded with transfers along with a good 7 foot center from Rice. Injuries and sanctions killed them last year. They have more talent this year and should be a good team this year.
The bottom line is that it has taken them some time to gel with the transfers. They were down 19 to San Diego State and game back to take the lead. There was a crazy ending to the game and SDSt shot 6 FTs in a row due to fouls + technicals. Basically, USC had a dramatic comeback that was thwarted by a bizarre occurrence. They may have just turned the corner as a team and they are hungry for a win. Also, according to Kenpom, Nebraska is the luckiest team in America (the ball has bounced their way all season and they should have more losses). That is why USC is favored. USC + under |

This is one of those games I may tease. Oregon + over.

I'm giving you the goods on this one. AZ (1-4) has bad defense and no FG kicker. And I mean no FG kicker. They will not even try a FG that is more than 25 yards. AZ has just got pounded by OK ST, Stanford, Oregon, and one close game with USC.
OSU (0-4) can not score points. They average about 16 points/game. The key to this game is the quarterbacks. The OSU QB is a freshman. All OSU QBs have throw for 2 total TD and 6 total Int this year. The AZ QB is a senior and is the 4th highest rated QB in draft projections. He has thrown 14 TDs this season and 2 ints. AZ has a great quarterback and the last two games AZ have put up points. The four AZ losses to good/great teams has created this unique opportunity to pound AZ at -1. |

The best palyer on the court will be on AZ - D. williams. DWill dropped 27 on the Morris twins this year. AZ shoots FTs at a much higher rate (+10%) and is a better 3-pt shooting team.(+3%). If Texas doubleteams DWill, he passes out and AZ shoots the 3. Texas has 3 three-pt shooters that shoot over 35% ...Az has 8! AZ shot poorly from the 3 against Memphis. It should return to the season norm today. 3 pt-shooting and individual heroics goves AZ a chance today. I'm taking the points. |
