1/17 Results: 3-1 Yesterday. Appalachian State gets on the board with a win, now I need them to lay an egg at Citadel so I can catch double digits at COC Saturday. Kansas looked pretty good, Baylor looked like they have given up. COC lost at Chattanooga, pretty big upset. Idaho continues to impress, rough stretch the rest of the way though. Davidson lost at UNC Greensboro. Add that to the list of some weird Southern Conference results last night. Siena has no depth.
Sides: 49-32, +28.60
Totals: 41-20, +24.80
DNP: 64-51
1/18 Notes: I value Tennessee a bit more than Georgia but there is no value in this conference inside of a few possessions being the top six or seven teams seem like they’re on a level playing field. Tennessee has dominated this series in past years but they were only an underdog in one of those scenarios I believe. My manlove for Nebraska continues although it occurs it not the greatest of situational spots. They return home where they haven’t lost yet, and their four losses on the year either road or neutral locations come to Vanderbilt, Davidson (back-to-back morning tip), Missouri, and Kansas. They will pretty much be in every game they play with the style of game they play, and the good defense. They held Vandy and Kansas to their season low in point totals. Colorado has been playing some good basketball, primarily b/c of their shooting. They’re built on getting to the bucket and getting into the paint, and they’ve done that wonderfully. Along with that, it appears they can shoot from long distance as well. The problem is, their defense is nothing special and if they aren’t hitting their shots, they more than likely aren’t going to win. It sounds pretty cliché, but other teams have other things they can rely on, while teams like Colorado and Illinois do not. This is the same team that 83 to San Francisco and 82 to Harvard earlier this year. It’s pretty believable that this team comes back down to earth very shortly, but I’m not sure tonight. They play a short roady here with Nebraska and Oklahoma, then comes the fun: Kansas, Baylor, Iowa State, Missouri (revenge), Texas A&M, Kansas State (revenge), and Kansas again. I think the total is a bit low, but with Nebraska’s defense, I’m staying away. I think they’ll score a bit more than what they’ve done on the road, and you’re always guaranteed points with Colorado’s slashers going to the bucket, even if they aren’t shooting all that great. I like Georgetown but not laying more than a possession on the road in conference, also point to the over there but going to leave that alone as well. Georgetown really shouldn’t be all that afraid to get up and down b/c Seton Hall’s half court defense has been tremendous. I think this is a game where both teams try to run a bit more than usual with Seton Hall coming off of Pitt’s defense and Georgetown coming off of snail Rutgers. Georgetown’s got revenge with St. John’s on deck, but they get a week off too. Illinois again, is simple. Make shots and win. Miss them and lose. Michigan State is one of the better defenses they will face all year, and they match up pretty well at the guard position. I doubt Illinois looks past MSU here, but they do have Ohio State on deck. Against tough defenses this year, Illinois has shot horribly. The two they shot well in, they shot close to 50% and only won by 8 (Wisconsin) and 4 (Maryland). This isn’t really a team to be trusting going up against tough defense who can match up with the guard spot, and if I wanted to break my Illini rule, I would back MSU here, especially with whatever the Jereme Richmond distraction going on is...
