Is there somewhere we can legally watch conference tournament basketball games if we don't have access to ESPN3? I find the bootleg streams really inconsistent and I'd like to find a way to watch the games legally. Thanks a bunch, good luck tonight everyone. |

Damn, was leaning Iona but I got burned on them with Marshall the other day. I do think Richmond is overrated this year though, they lose against good teams. That Anthony kid might be great in a year or two though.

I just saw it at Iona -1. I grabbed Iona at +1.5 and glad I did, but I'm also wondering what's going on. Is there an injured Marshall player? or are people just pounding Iona?

So, I'm on a horrible cold streak, please fade me until things get better.
I will always post my picks & leans with analysis, and using the lines available in the NCAABB contest here on covers. Feel free to ask me questions and engage in dialogue, the best way to learn is to talk things out. For my picks, regular plays are 2 units and "big plays" are 5 units. Yesterday's Published Plays: *Creighton +0 // 5U* Butler +4 // 2U Arkansas +6 // 2U Toledo -5 // 2U Ohio State -2.5 // 2U Oakland +6.5 // 2U North Dakota State +3.5 // 2U Miami (FL) +6 // 2U New Mexico -3 // 2U Boise State +1 // 2U December 11 Plays: Iona +1.5 Santa Clara +6 December 11 Leans: NC-Greensboro +25.5 Detroit +13.5 Murray State +10 (hoping for line to move up to +11/+11.5) I like Iona +1.5 here because I think they're being undervalued here. Marshall has a couple of good results and they're really good on the glass and playing at home, but I just don't think they're good enough to beat Iona right now. Iona has a stud scorer in Glover, and some other great options like Machado and Jones. They're #1 in the NCAA in scoring, #1 in assists, and #9 in field goal percentage. They will definitely get out-rebounded by Marshall, but I think this game will end up being a shoot-out, and I think Iona has too many weapons for the Thundering Herd to deal with. I like Santa Clara +6 because the line just looks way too high. Washington State isn't a great team, they rely on two players to score (Aden & Motum). Santa Clara rebounds well and I like their defense. They also have wins over New Mexico and Villanova on neutral courts. I like Murray State because of oddsbuster's writeup of it here on Covers. Go read that, it's really good. Basically Memphis hasn't consistently played well against good teams (early-season games with Georgetown, Tennessee, etc.) and Murray State is definitely a good team. There's also an advantage for Murray State on the free-throw line as Memphis fouls a lot due to their hard defense and youth. Leans are 21-14 on the year. BOL today everyone, hopefully I can get back on a winning path lol. |

Update #1: Terrible terrible day. I'm on a horrible cold streak, start fading me a few hours ago, this is not going to be good. Might scale it down the next day or two and try to come back at it with a fresh mind.
Creighton loses at St. Joes, Butler covers (barely), Arkansas and Toledo lose/don't cover, and Ohio State probably won't win by 2.5 My bad not checking that Sullinger was out. 1-4-0 -10.1 U // 25-16-1 YTD +15.5 U... :( |

The last couple days I've been on a cold streak (1-3-0) and hopefully that cold streak ends today, or else it's going to be a very bad day haha.
I will always post my picks & leans with analysis, and using the lines available in the NCAABB contest here on covers. Feel free to ask me questions and engage in dialogue, the best way to learn is to talk things out. For my picks, regular plays are 2 units and "big plays" are 5 units. Yesterday's Published Plays: VCU -4 // 2U Colorado -4 // 2U December 10 Plays: *Creighton +0 (would take them at -2) // 5U* Butler +4 (at +4.5 now) // 2U Arkansas +6 (at +7 now) // 2U Toledo -5 ( at -4.5 now) // 2U Ohio State -2.5 // 2U Oakland +6.5 // 2U North Dakota State +3.5 // 2U Miami (FL) +6 // 2U New Mexico -3 // 2U Boise State +1 // 2U December 10 Leans: Cincinnati +7.5 George Washington +20 Central Michigan +3 I know there are a lot of plays, but I like them all, and to take some of them off the card just because its a busy day is bad logic to me. But since there are 10 (wow) plays, I'm not going to do a full write-up on each one. I like Creighton +0 because they are a very good team and they have shown they can win on the road (@ San Diego State). McDermott is a beast, averaging 23.7ppg 9.0rpg and shooting 62.6% from the field, 81% from FT, and 57.7% from 3. The team also has a +9 assist/turnover ratio and have 4 other players averaging over 8.5 ppg. St. Joe's is a decent team, but they're nowhere near the level of Creighton, a ranked mid-major who could hold their ranking through the season and end up with a top-3 seed in the tournament. I like Butler because I think they're too well coached and solid defensively to turn into a consistently losing team. They showed flashes of good play against Xavier, but couldn't compete with their scoring talent for 40 minutes. Ball State has a couple of nice players, but they're no Xavier. I like Arkansas +6 because they played Connecticut tough and since they lost their top scorer (Powell) they've had a couple other guys step up and show that they can carry a game. They get good offensive contributions from a number of players and they force teams into turning it over. Oklahoma also recently lost one of their best players, so I don't think they'll be able to blow out Arkansas in a track meet. I like Toledo -5 because they've shown the ability to blow out inferior competition at home (15 point win over Illinois-Chicago (it wasn't as close as the score indicates)) and I don't think Loyola-Chicago will be able to stop one of my favorite players, Pearson (17.3ppg, 8.3rpg, 1.5apg, 1.4spg, 54.8% FG). I like Ohio State because I just think they're a more rounded team and they have more weapons. Sullinger and Robinson should be able to counter each other but I don't think Kansas has any consistent players other than Robinson and Taylor. Craft is clearly the best defensive pg Kansas will play this year, and I think he'll be able to slow down Taylor enough for Ohio State's "secondary players" like Buford & Thomas to outplay Kansas' secondary players. Also, the line moved from -4 to -2.5 so I saw a good opportunity there and snapped it up. I usually try to avoid these really big games because it's hard to predict how the teams will come out. We've seen Ohio State come out in an equally big spot (against Duke) and roll them. I like Oakland +6.5 because I like their experience from the tournament last year, and even though they lost Benson, they still have Reggie Hamilton (20.1pp) and a 6-9 freshman averaging 12.0ppg, 11.7rpg. I just think the line is too high, and I haven't seen anything out of Michigan lately to think they'll be able to cover it. If you play moneylines, I'd give Oakland a look. I like North Dakota State +3.5 because they shoot 48.9% as a team, have 4 players averaging 11.8ppg or more, and they have a +3 assist/turnover ratio. Arizona State is only 3-5, and those losses are to Pepperdine, New Mexico, Fairfield, DePaul, and Nevada. I think you could fairly lump North Dakota State in with some of those teams. ASU also has a -7 assist/turnover ratio, and shoots the ball worse. They also just found out their star freshman won't be able to play this season, so they might be a bit down emotionally. I like Miami (FL) +6 because WVU just played a really tough 2OT game in Wichita after having travel problems, and they had to come all the way back home to play a second game less than 48 hours later. Miami (FL) stayed close to Memphis for a while, and WVU doesn't have the same athletes. Although Jones and Bryant are really good and Kilicili rebounds well, I think Miami will be able to hit enough outside shots and will come out fresher to cover the 6. I like New Mexico -3 because they're actually capable of scoring the ball, and they rebound pretty well. I am not impressed with SC at all, as their only skill seems to be keeping games under the O/U. Lastly, I like Boise State +1 because I think LSU is inconsistent as a team, and haven't faced many offenses as potent as Boise's. The Broncos will also be looking to get some revenge for the football team not making it to a BCS bowl. Boise State has 6 players averaging 8+ ppg, and they shoot 49.8% from the field, 70.7% from the FT line, and 42.5% from 3. Lastly, my leans are 21-11 on the season. BOL everyone, this should be a crazy day! Unfortunately I will be gone studying for a while, so I'm going to miss quite a bit of it :( Hopefully I'll be back to see some of Ohio State - Kansas but I might have to settle for the 7pm games... |

I went big on Creighton at a pick'em, not sure why the line is the way it is. I know they're on the road but they went into San Diego State and won, and St. Joe's is a decent team but they won't even be in the bubble for the tourney. Creighton has a shot at being ranked all season if they stay focused.

Ugh, Colorado did not play well. Starting to think they actually be pretty bad.

Barring a collapse of historic proportions, VCU is going to cover this -4. Glad I decided to play them even when the line moved.
1-0-0 today, +2 U // 24-11-1 YTD, +27.8 U Back on a winning streak now, hopefully Colorado -4 comes through tonight as well. |
