great capping. thanks

I am stunned by the Nova-USF line.  USF is only -2 in a MUST WIN game.  They lose and they go to the NIT.

The 2 spreads for the Nova-USF games this yr were:

Nova -8.5
USF -2 (Wayns ended up not playing).

USF won both games in a rout, but as I said Wayns didnt play in the one game. 3 Big East teams have given Nova fits this yr - GTown, Cuse and USF....they all have 1 thing in common.  Big, athletic frontlines who curtail Wayns' forays into the paint, and also have the ability to collapse on Yarou and Pinkston on the block. Nova has lost a TON of close games this yr - 2 to Cincy, 2 to Marquette, LVille game in LVille was nip and tuck, WVU game in Morgantown was tied with 2 mins left, UConn in OT (without Wayns), ND in OT (without Wayns) but they havent solved the riddle that is USF, who forces Nova to play in the halfcourt and makes you beat them from the arc - where Nova struggles to shoot from deep.

Have to lean USF here in a low scoring, competitive affair.  They just cant drop this one.  Probably something like 55-49 final.

USF -2.  Hope I'm wrong.

Solid day again. 

Interested to hear what you think about Cuse and Cincy games.

GTown -2.5

Will be motivated to avenge their only home loss of the season.   Both teams are dancing, this game is meaningless so give me the team with the chip on their shoulder.

I am in a pool where instead of filling out a bracket, you pick one #1 seed, one #2 seed, and so on.

For all of the shit I've been talking on Uconn, I will be taking them as my #9seed. I feel they are the only 9 seed who has the potential to knock off a #1 seed in the next round. So I hope I was wrong and Uconn makes a run
