NCAAB SAT

Two plays I am looking at to start the day.

MICH ST +2

Square or not this is not my typical play. I am typically all over Minny in this spot. I want to wait and see what Bense does before anything.

IMO though Minny is on a complete slide. This team has several distractions going on right now and with the loss of Nolan it should play a huge part for this game.

Since the Texas game Mich St is playing much better ball and if you ask me I think Izzo barely prepared for IOWA I think their full focus was to get ready for the rematch game against Minny. Mich St is on the verge of taking a commanding lead of Big Ten with a win today. I think they know it and can feel it. Not too mention this has been one of the best road conf teams in recent years. Izzo just has a knack at preparing his teams for cong play and to win in tough environments.

If they move to a fave which I could easily see I will more than like jump on. I can also see this line sitting where it is or moving to as high as 3 and that should be the max to fool betters into hitting Minny. This is a tricky one as it would be going against the theory unless Mich St moves to a fave. Not to mention going against the revenge factor. A lot shit to go through and wait on Benses thoughts. This is almost a no play right now will see though.

RUT +20

Classic sandwich game.

More coming as the night progresses so bare with me. Nothing will be locked in though till closer to tip or when I see lines start to move.

0-2 Friday

YTD: 170-123-9 (+198.25U)

ISU YTD: 7-1-1 (+34.50U)

MARQ +10

Somewhat of a look ahead for CUSE but I dont really buy into look aheads when a higher ranked team has a lower ranked team on deck.

MARQ has been a scrappy team this year only to lose heart breaker after heart breaker. What I like about them is that they are giving themselves a chance in these ball games. MARQ should really be able to handle zone with ease with the ball handlers they have and with as deadly as they can be from deep they will give themselves every opportunity to be in this one.

One thing I hate betting on is jump shooting teams away from home and especially against the best zone D in the country. Not to mention either way I go games involved with the CUSE is a nightmare for me. Gotta sleep on this one but this is very easy for me at this point as it is a no play.

OSU +6

Two teams going in opposite directions IMO and this is a revenge game from the beating OSU recieved last season.

DRAKE +5.5

These boys are starting to play very well. Biggest angle I have here is a huge emotional letdown for WSU.

ILL ST +3

OK ST +10

Another classic letdown game.

BOL UNC. new to the site. Look forward to following your posts and tryin to follow in your footsteps of helpin people out.

UCONN +2.5

Texas is good very good but IMO this is going to be a tougher test than K State.

UCONN plays lazy at times but they really kicked it in gear in the 2nd half of their last game and I know it was against St Johns but they started to play with some emotion. Something I have not seen out of this group sense the UK game. I think we see the best intensity out of this group of the season today. With Coach Cal gone this team is going to continue to play inspired ball or atleast I think this group can circle around each other and bring it together.

If this is a tight game no way I can count on Texas freethrow shooting until they prove me wrong. The match-ups in the paint are there but IMO Kimba Walker is going to have to play a huge roll in this one.

Anyways a lot more things to look at for this one but still leaning hard to the Huskies who are in desperate need of that big out of conference win.

PU -11

PU will not put do what WISC did. MICH is going to get a beatdown in this one. Big revenge game against the worst offensive road team in the Big Ten. I bet Painter and co are happy to be back home. Think we see PU have a complete game in this one and continue to get back on track from a conf. stand point.

MARY -8

Is letdown galore today or what.

NW -1.5

Revenge game

OU +5

Look ahead game

DUKE -1

Gotta feeling Coach K is not done with this team yet. CLEM is not a good play for this one. I dont care if its gameday or not DUKE is still chomping at the bit from last season even with the big win at home earlier in the year. Duke get their first road win.

USC -2

Revenge game against a piss poor road team. Not sure I want to jump back in the Pac 10 though.

That is everything I am looking at now time to trim the fat and get the fuck off this skid.

I dont go on tilt buddy. I just dont see it with this one. I think oddsmakers are putting too much emphasis into a revenge angle here.

This one is starting to move at most books now...

RUT +20.5 (5U)

Lets talk hoops guys as we have started out this thread I think most will benefit from it and it should be fun to read. I will start posting my plays together as I go so it will be easier for most to see.
