FRIDAY HOOPS 151

ok lets get back on track ...not good yesterday 4-7 shoulda coulda woulda 

taking FIU at Noon today at home vs NM st , FIU is a very good team, at home they score a lot of points, this game could go over the total also....they are coming off an OT loss at home to Liberty, a game where they had the lead most the game...they are 7-2 ats  and 7-2 str up at home, 2-0 str up at home on 2-3 days rest, they want to score in the mid to high 80's they re 3-0 ats after a loss this year, 5-1 ats at home, and 4-1 ats as a dog, 2-0 ats as a home dog, ...both these teams play OVERS  as NMST is 6-2 OVER this year and FIU is 7-2 OVER this year, NMST is 4-1 OVER as a favorite, and FIU is 5-0 OVER as a dog and 2-0 OVER as a home dog, for this early game i am taking FIU +2  , and i am going OVER 152.5   i do think by Morning this could be a pick'em game so ill grab what i can i do think FIU wins this game , this FIU team has just 2 players from last years team, but the main 5-6 guys are all new, they have 5 players who avg double digit scoring that is not normal, maybe on the top 20 teams  its rare to find 5 players avg double digits, i looked all this up because i try to see if last years games matter this year and unless there are like 4+ main players back then it dont, actually FIU has a major player on their team who came from New mex st , Zawdie Jackson he was a major player for NMst last year 888 mins 37% from 3 78% ft shooter, 338 pts 99 assist, for FIU this year he is avg 27 mins and 10 pts a game , NM st has played just one true road game at Abilene christian where they lost 69-77 and i think FIU is a better team than ACU , at home FIU is avg 83 pts and giving up 77, NMST is avg 68 away and gives up 68, i do like the OVER here i just think as in the liberty game FIU will control the tempo if they get a lead and the pace is up this should go OVER.....84-78 type 

FIU +2  

OVER 152.5

RUM ... I agree, I do think the wrong team is favoured here. Might just jump on FIU myself for a small play.

looking at Mich st +2 @ Nebraska just think Mich st is that good   LIU -4 at home vs C Conn, LIU a much better team this year, c.conn has won the last few maybe payback time,  Merrimack at home -3.5  vs mnt st mary merrimack has been winning a lot lately  ...good game should be kennesaw st vs Liberty 

ty Ole Miss and and the over wich won me a parlay,  Indiana cost me, big under in the oregon game but did have TT  but hit some parlays , Miami if they can beat Ole Miss will play at home for national championship  crazy  GO CANES

matter of fact i didnt look into those 3 games like i do, but i just went and did a 3 team teaser on those 3 paying +150  mich st+6.5/LIU -pk/merrimack -pk  

i do think merrimack and Liu could go up ...that teaser is in

Good luck Rum.  

well i was pretty much dead on, this morning FIU is -1.5  and i am so glad i bet this last night, does not mean its a winner but i did get the better line and i said it would go up  its 6.5 now  i just thought 4.5 was a bit low and apparently others did too , figuring out where line will move too, is also handicapping, maybe one of the biggest parts, its what i did at WWTS years ago   ....gl everyone  151

Merrimack did not move

LIU -4.5 

Damn that Merrimack total began to climb about 3am and has went up 5 pts over night opened at 135.5 and now sits at 140.5  one i miss a line move like that best to stay away , unless maybe going UNDER   

Good luck Rum 

Michigan -21  or 21.5  well lets look, Michigans Team total is 97.5  the total on the game is 172.5 so with the spread being what is is the books are thinking that this will be a 97-75 type of game, if you think Michigan will hit 100 then you maybe like the over and michigan to cover, will USC score 75?  their TT is 75.5 , when will michigan call off the dogs?  will they be up 27 with 2 mins left? and will USC then score maybe 6-7 points to a ft or 2 , i would hope Michigan is at least up 27 or more with 2 mins to go, its very hard to go against Michigan 

another sad thing, a US Marine was hit by another drunk illegal alien, and it was not the 1st time he was caught driving drunk, here you have a marine who risk his life protecting us, and someone who should not even be here killed his 8 yr old daughter, and he has had to have his leg amputated , and is fighting for his life today....how many of these stories to we have to hear about, and there are people out there who want to keep these people here, even after being arrested before, you would think once your arrested for a crime and its found that you are not even suppose to be in this country that you would be deported...its common sense, so many families have had members die from the fault of people who should not be here, it just blows my mind, there is a law that if you came here your not suppose to be supported by our govt, your suppose to live with family or friends who will support you until you get a job, but now we just bring them in and pay for everything while they take the money and send it back to their familys ....it has gotten so backward , and yes we are all immigrants but years ago you did not come here and get on welfare and food stamps for years , your suppose to contribute   just so sad a little girl died and her marine father is fighting for his life today and lost his leg  i hope there is a go fund me for him 

ya know  to say a team is better than another, or wait until the outcome to say see i told ya, there is nothing stopping anyone from putting a few sentences together before a game on why you feel team A will beat team B , it does not take a lot of time, its just letting people know why you feel that a certain team will win or cover, and when a game comes down to a team covering by a half pt or even 1 point that does not mean that either side was wrong...lol  it means that maybe a ft was missed, and a shot went in and out somewhere along, or so many little things, i mean people can always say i think my team will cover by 1 point, but we dont, we hope that our teams cover by a few points, we accept a 1 pt win, or half pt, but i do not think its what people thought their play was going to do... we all hope we can find those easy wins, when people say huge play, well that play should win really easily, not one that a ft wins with 1.2 sec's left, so remember  nothing says you cant tell others why you like a game, dont worry about being wrong, everyone has been wrong, but its a better feeling to be right and you said why you would be right and then it happens just about like ya said, they may not happen a lot but it shows you did some work 

3 team ml parlay  Merrimack/robert morris/MTSU +269  

Michigan -21  

fiu +2

Over 152.5 FIU

LIU -4.5 

you can get N M st right now +8.5 

now its 10.5 hell i am even tempted 

glad i did  nm st now within 7  i got a half unit +10.5  i just want to see scoring too

well just about like i said so far  FIU has scored a few over their 1st half avg as its 44-39, we got 83 1st half points, thats pretty good towards an over , both teams went on runs in the half, FIU went up 37-21 when i grabbed a half unit play on +9.5 i missed 10.5   3 mins later it was 5.5 when NM st went on a 10-1 run , but its what you expect in a game like this, i am happy at least bring up 5 at half and very happy with the 83 in the 1st half, should bet 1st half plays  but thats in the past  ,,,seems like FIU is playing at their tempo thats what i thought they would have to do, 

looks like i may have wasted 50.00 on taking New mexico +9.5 early  i maybe believed what i was reading people saying about nm st  instead of what i actually wrote about, to say one team is just the better team , well explain??? they do hold teams to 69 pts on defense  they do not shoot better, rebound better, commit fewer fouls, i said i thought FIU would control the tempo, 65-48 with 11+ left  i need new mex st to score for the over too , i said 84-78  can nm st get 30 pts, if FIU gets theirs and then nm st does not that would be FIU winning by too much might need them to get 90 

well new mexico st is going to cost me the over  i thought they would play a little better today, 83 1st half points theyhad 39 at half  FIU controlling the boards, offensive rebounds 13-5  39 at half i was thinking they get 70 at least  they have scored 15 so far  to 34 for FIU  FIU TT was the way to go  

Both easy earlier winners 

great capping!

ok lets get back on track ...not good yesterday 4-7 shoulda coulda woulda 

taking FIU at Noon today at home vs NM st , FIU is a very good team, at home they score a lot of points, this game could go over the total also....they are coming off an OT loss at home to Liberty, a game where they had the lead most the game...they are 7-2 ats  and 7-2 str up at home, 2-0 str up at home on 2-3 days rest, they want to score in the mid to high 80's they re 3-0 ats after a loss this year, 5-1 ats at home, and 4-1 ats as a dog, 2-0 ats as a home dog, ...both these teams play OVERS  as NMST is 6-2 OVER this year and FIU is 7-2 OVER this year, NMST is 4-1 OVER as a favorite, and FIU is 5-0 OVER as a dog and 2-0 OVER as a home dog, for this early game i am taking FIU +2  , and i am going OVER 152.5   i do think by Morning this could be a pick'em game so ill grab what i can i do think FIU wins this game , this FIU team has just 2 players from last years team, but the main 5-6 guys are all new, they have 5 players who avg double digit scoring that is not normal, maybe on the top 20 teams  its rare to find 5 players avg double digits, i looked all this up because i try to see if last years games matter this year and unless there are like 4+ main players back then it dont, actually FIU has a major player on their team who came from New mex st , Zawdie Jackson he was a major player for NMst last year 888 mins 37% from 3 78% ft shooter, 338 pts 99 assist, for FIU this year he is avg 27 mins and 10 pts a game , NM st has played just one true road game at Abilene christian where they lost 69-77 and i think FIU is a better team than ACU , at home FIU is avg 83 pts and giving up 77, NMST is avg 68 away and gives up 68, i do like the OVER here i just think as in the liberty game FIU will control the tempo if they get a lead and the pace is up this should go OVER.....84-78 type 

FIU +2  LOCK  easy winner  wayy ahead  

OVER 152.5    LOCK got the over with over 3 mins to play  

TY GUYS and GALS maybe...lol  

its why i do write ups  just trying to say why i like a team or a total and when it happens like i thought its great  does it always happen? NO  but i think giving some reasoning is always a good thing   and when i predict a 162 pts will be sscoredcored and it lands on 163 its even better    and ty to New mex st for coming alive last 4 mins and scoring some points  they had like 56 scored 18 last 4 mins

well looking at the Sam Houston @ WKY game  the visitor has won the last 3, SHS has won 3 of last 4 but these 2 teams are all redone, each team has like 2 important players back, all the rest are from other teams, each team has 7-8 players averaging 18 mins a game, SHS has 4 players averaging double digits and they have 2 more at over 9 pts and one at over 8 pts a game, thats good balance  and wky has 3 averaging double digits and 1 at 9 pts and 1 at 8 pts  this should be a good game ..but WKY is without bryant selebengue who is avg 18 mins 7 pts and 7 rebounds  their leading rebounding he is out for the rest of the year could be a big missing piece there, sam Houston is 2-4 str up away but are 5-1 ats and are 8-1 ats on the year   they may be worth a look here ..

 game has a good shot at going over as both teams do go OVER a lot  SHS is 7-2 over this year and WKY 6-4 over.....shs is 5-1 over away this year, 5-0 over as an away dog , 6-0 over after a win, and 6-0 over as a dog, wky 3-1 over at home, 4-1 over as a favorite,  this total is 166 and has went up 3 points from 163  wish i had stayed up longer and looked into this i think i would have went over here    both teams shoot about even, and SHS away averages 82 and gives up 82  while WKY at home avg;s 84 and gives up 78  maybe a team total   and also the injury to that player just happened dec 29th that was their last game when they lost at jax st   maybe this injury is going to mean a lot here   

just some info
