Last2thirst Conference /Tourney Picks

Buffalo has a veteran team with great sets, good defense, outstanding Off. rebounding like UNC  and an overall calm about them late in a game....in fact,  I believe they are a 'baby- UNC' in style.

They beat WVU by 5 in OT early in the season

They handled CUSE by 12 early in the year 

They lost to MARQUETTE by 18 though

Beating an athletic and hot shooting AZST team showed me something.....hmmmm

TTECH can shoot and play defense ....they were in my first half of the year TOP 6 and they have recently looked like they turned back into that form

They didn't lose until DUKE and had them on the ropes with the lead until the last 7 min....lost by 11

They beat @WVU by 3

They lost to KANSAS by 16  in their funk period

Since then, they have only lost one game and that was vs WVU in the CONF tourney

This should be a tight game but if Buffalo can't shoot, TTECH will take advantage....

I see a tight game

I am going to play Buffalo   +4  1x    as a local play and hope they keep it close

Will play HOUSTON later for 2 or 4 U if I lose Buffalo or VTECH play 

See a pattern here? ......lay off   the dogs or be very selective and start using parlays to YOUR ADVANTAGE

Buffalo play stays one Unit and I will take Houston on the Double up if not official

Comments on the Tenn game....credit goes to coaching staff of Iowa getting their players motivated....TENN was trying to run long plays using clock and they are better when they play with instinct in an offense set as we saw in OT.....I just wish the refs were not so wishing to get in on every play with fouls? Two refs arguing over what they saw? CMON....let the players play and the 1st ref stick with what they saw......otherwise it was a great 2nd half

Tennessee  -1  5x .....this may be my last bet with them....players believe they are destined and I believe the should handle this with no issue.....not at any point did Purdue EVER be considered for my Top 5

Lean Florida St.....-7 but want to see if I can get 7.5....if it drops, I may go Zags...mulling

Ding Ding Ding! 

Virginia  -8.5  1x

Texas Tech  +2   2x......Michigan has a strong team but TTECH looks like a final four team and Michigan will not have their way in the paint....Florida  will look like a B-team compared to this swarming and athletic defense

I feasted my eyes on Sparty the other day and was surprised.....they have their full lineup, they look strong, talented and playing team ball... LSU has no chance in this game and I can see Sparty beating DUKE easily....if not someone else takes out DUKE

UNC    -5   5x..... will dominate inside and control the perimeter when they need to and they will have to in this game....really like this Auburn team vs. DUKE but they have no business playing a close game vs the REAL #1 TEAM in the tourney..

DUKE-VTECH....DUKE could lose or win by 10....not yet for the fade and I should have had UCF

Houston lean.....will give Kentucky all they got and I had Houston as my #7 -9 team all season long and by the end of the year, KY was down to #7.....should be a close game

BOL 

Do you draft Coby White? Zion .....or Barrett?

COBY!!!!!!.....this kid is unreal and plays like a 'fast' veteran college ball player who has NBA 3 pt range on his outside shot already and has great instincts with distributing and attack weakpoints on the defense

Colorado  4x  5.5.....simply a better team than Texas, although, if for some reason I see that Texas has the lead by ___?, I will make a second half bet as well for the same amount...I am impressed with this Buffaloes team and not so much with Texas

agree. that kid is having a monster season. if he was smart, he would develop another year and work on his turnovers. i believe that is his one flaw. kid makes a lot of mistakes in transition but man has he been impressive and stepping up where little has fallen. it's a real bummer that luke maye and cam johnson are seniors this year. if they don't make it this year, and had one more to work together, they would be championship caliber. 

Dirty.....100% Let him  develop the next wave of superstar that comes through UNC and that develops him too. I am a DUKE fan until recently when the athlete coming to UNC has changed from flash and dash or prima donnas to now Duke type team players who think in the team concept.....ironically, I actually think Duke is going that way

TTECH .....and .......AUBURN

-2 is pretty tasty  4x......doubt I win or lose by one so my logic says....its Houston who has to make the last shots and catch up and I like my chances with  KY

When your #1 team in any sport gets beat early.....RIDE THE TEAM THAT BEATS THEM....

Will be playing Auburn the rest of the way

Texas Tech  +4.5   5x...... the pogo stick defense  will keep it close despite Zags size superiority .....doesn't matter when 3 guys swarm a shot and I have seen TT steal balls out of shooters release positions which is unreal

I love the Zags normally but TT is the most motivated team I see here besides Auburn and Sparty
