Goddam bird.....30 units on Wisky? Whew...I had them small but didn't like it that much. Nice hit!

Hope you got some of that Utah State this morning....that was sweet!!!

Hey...don't you think the books are BEGGING for Nova money tomorrow with such a small line? Thinking about hitting UCLA large in the first game tomorrow.

I hate backing jump shooting teams at this time of the season but BAY is playing so well right now and i see 5 points being to many. Small lean to BAY...

a couple picks are
but there no way the zags are gunnna cover. wkentucky has a good chance of winning outright.
purdue is grooving right now they will beat wash.
unc without lawson is tough because lsu has some players and the could make it interesting i think  they cover the big point spread
nova is such a bettter team then ucla is. ucla has no answer for cunningham. nova is just to deep and they are just plain out better then ucla.
love texas to possible win

Hey buddy. Much respect, as you know, so can you give me some reasoning for your UCLA pick other than the above. Nova looks really good right now and UCLA has been struggling for a few weeks now. They don't look to be breaking out of it for the tourney, and if you can't get up for this you are in trouble. Appreciate insight.

This is MARCH. Offensive jump shooting teams will be weeded out. I give one team that can keep riding it and thats UNC. LOU was the other one that comes to mind but they actually play defense. For example WAKE FOREST last night a team that relies heavily on offense to win games and when your not hitting in March your going to get throttled as CLE ST showed us. Anyways NOVA does nothing but shoot jumpers IMO and that one get you far against a team that has played like a top 5 team this season. All this talk about the VCU game means nothing. 64 of the best are in this and everyone can play. VCU was the best 11 seed in the tourney. If Collison stays out of foul trouble today and UCLA hits those lay-ups like they normally do NOVA will be in for a long game. Howlands offense produces high percentage shots and NOVA will get lost today. Better Defenses move on from this point forward and even though UCLA has not shown it at times but they def. have it them...

Like all 3 the same. If PU goes on one of there dry shooting spells today they will get ran out of the gym as WASH presents so many match-up problems. Kramer has no chance at keeping Thomas in front of him.

My thoughts EXACTLY Bird. That line is fishy as hell too, a 4 vs 5 giving that many? Vegas begging you to take W.Ky. Ya, they beat the Illini, the Illini sucked, especially w/o Frazier. BOL today

I don't care who wins today but im here to take all wagers on UCLA making it to the final 4. That is some funny ass shit. The brackets are like clothing, its so funny how you guys think you found the "LATEST TREND" and want to make your bracket so unique. To think a team who finished middle of the pac, in the shitty pac-10 is going to beat VCU, NOVA, DUKE, PITT baaaaaaahahahahahaha!

UCLA very well may beat an overrated Nova team in Philly, but come on. UCLA is not what they used to be, no defense, and they THEMSEVLES are a jump shooting team.

The line stinks on Nova today, UCLA very may well be the play but come on.

Congrats on the Wisky win all of you should send 20% of it to Mr. Bohanon. Thats a 15 point + loss without him.

Thanks for the insight and taking the time to write it up Breax!! I have to agree with the defense moving forward and Nova does not play very good D. Thanks
