SU winners: 19 OT record: 5-0 Record on the open: 26-19 Winners because of the Open: 3 Losers because of the Open: 1
Notes: -Had a bunch written up but lost it all somehow -Very fortunate that cal came through last night after being on the ropes about to get blown out in both halves. Justin Cobbs hit two clutch 3pt shots late and the Bears pushed the tempo while ASU wanted to run the clock out to get them right back in the game. -Cal is too talented to be as low in the Pac-12 standings as they are, but their big guys are soft or just too uncoordinated to play. This came up last night when a backup center was taking it to them and when stud David Kravish couldn't guard a stretch 4 man. Asu did a great job getting Gilling open shots, but I think it was due to bad Cal defense as opposed to great execution -Colorado finally got a good road win, but the luster is sorta gone after seeing Oregon lose to both bay area schools without their PG. Something about their road offense not being acceptable combined with their inability to make FTs -huge win for Illinois, not sure how Indiana blew that lead after somehow dodging the terrible spot they were in for 35 minutes. Cody Zeller is the most overrated player in America and that last play was terrible. Illinois now has some great wins, I'm just not sure they can get in the tournament even with their solid wins because they could lose 11 conference games and who wants to see 7-11 in conference get an at-large -Glad i stayed away from Santa Clara, though it was a game I thought they'd be much more competitive in

...Cal was a winner where I got it but looked like it closed 4 so I added to my "Winners because of the open" level as it's very possible if you tailed you pushed (or lost if you took 3.5). Sorry if that happened...

dude, where do you bet to bet on open, which book?. I think you move lines bro. Everytime I jump on your pick, I miss it by a couple points. Nice call my man. P.S Enjoy the storm, not too far from you.

I agree nobody wants to see Illinois in at 7-11, but they have 2 of the best wins in the nation (@ Zaga, #1 Indy). If they get to 20 wins its gonna be hard to put a mid major in ahead of them based off those 2 games alone...and they beat Butler( name alone looks decent).

I use BetOnline, the early openers are the biggest attraction for me as I can get some good prices if I guess the right way. Don't know if it's me moving the lines, though they do seem to jump right after I lock a play in...
The location is actually a little deceiving, I'm in manhattan though the storm looks like its gonna hit me, my mom, you and even my dad in Vermont. Stay warm

Definitely on the same page and I would take a team like Illinois based on their wins over great teams instead of a VCU who has beaten no one to date, but I think there's always going to be a bias to get the mid-majors in the field and that will trump. Makes everything exciting...

-I've been against UL quite a bit this year, losing against them with Connecticut, Memphis and just this past Sunday with Marquette while winning on at least Northern Iowa, Kentucky and Syracuse. That spells 3-3 which is pretty average, but I think I've seen them enough to have an idea of what they are. Notre Dame is a great home team historically who has been much worse there this year. I think the College Gameday atmosphere will be a huge plus for them as they return to their homecourt dominance. UL will play a lot of 2-3 zone and ND needs to make shots to win, which they haven't been as good at recently, but I think they do it here with the size advantage in the backcourt. Scott Martin is likely out, which hurts as that takes a decent shooter/shooting threat away, but Knight being inserted means two posts and that's a favorable matchup against the UL bigs who are not perimeter players. Rebounding should be better, as should interior defense, and they were getting more than a possession at the open so I jumped in at 4 1/2. Would definitely play the current 5.5, though 6 or even 6.5 is a big difference.
ASU thoughts:
-Been low on ASU and was fortunate to get out of their last game with a Cal ticket in my hand to cash. The end result did not indicate the dominance and Stanford isn't that much better than Cal. A lot of what ASU did to Cal was pick and pop, which shouldn't be as easy because Huestis is more of a perimeter player than Kravish, but the difference here is that Carson should have a big advantage being similarly-sized to either Randle or Bright. I imagine it's Randle, but im sure Bright will get matched up at least a couple times and I really like that. ASU should be able to push Stanford around inside with the two 7-footers and Dwight Powell's lack of bulk, so when you have that much going for you and HCA I don't believe they should be favored by less than a possession. Negatives would include Stanford having an extra day of rest/preparation and Bright going off from 3, but I think Gordon can D him up and I haven't even mentioned Carrick Felix.

-Colorado finally got a good road win, but the luster is sorta gone after seeing Oregon lose to both bay area schools without their PG. Something about their road offense not being acceptable combined with their inability to make FTs
Aaaaaand.....UO loves to turn the ball over...good "bet against" candidate come tourney time.

thanks for your take on the ND game. i agree ND will have to make perimeter shots over the 2-3 zone to cover and Brey mentioned 8 as their goal for the game. however, this is not a typical great perimeter shooting team. and as you mentioned without Martin they are even less lethal from 3 land ... but i have a "feeling" they make enough shots to cover the spread tonight. and Knight is due to shoot well tonight off a poor outing vs cuse. watch Auguste tonight. the kid has freakish athleticism and Brey got into his ear about being a force on the defensive glass.

luck is all we need, but I agree they aren't so good from deep this year though I think they will slow this game down to a crawl and if they make enough shots from outside they win nevermind cover
