Diesel- I am looking at Harvard as one of my go-with teams early on. I might prefer another spot though, like when they play the big boys and are getting double digits. LMU played way over their heads against UCLA, and came back to reality against MTSU. I think Viney is still supposed to be out for them, check and see because he avg. 17ppg last year, and has missed first two games. Without him, well coached Harvard should be able to limit touches for Ireland and Hamilton.

Like I said, I love Harvard this season, so might end up pulling the trigger here for a unit anyway. But really looking forward to next weekend's games in Bahamas, and December vs UConn and BC.... Good Luck!!!

DaProf,You make some nice points...and yes Viney still may be out hopefully he doesn&#x27;t play(he is listed as day to day)...so we will see what happens...and if Viney does not play this play is even more appealing to me!I would love to see what the lines come out with them vs UCONN....but I almost guarantee they will be heavily favored by 8 or 9 at least w/ BC...BC is terrible this year as seen by the fact they just lost to Holy Cross by 22 points...they pulled a UCLA vs MTSU hahah!Good luck brother!

The question is what is Loy. Mary about?  I don&#x27;t know if they have anything but they do have home court so no play here. Lots of games tomorrow.&#xD;&#xA;GL,   Doc

afdiesel26 · Answer

Pecador,While I see what you&#x27;re saying...Homecourt advantage means nothing to me here...we are talking about a LMU school that is not exactly known for having a competitive bball team...and i don&#x27;t expect the crowd/home court to be much of a factor...Moreover last year during the regular season Harvard lost 5 times all of which were away from home...BUT their losses were to 1.) G. Mason2.) UCONN3.) Michigan4.) Princeton5.) Yale (by 1 pt)4 of those 5 teams made the NCAA tourney last year...and UCONN won it all...(Yale is a rivalry game that can go either way every time...)Unless you can convince me that LMU is a legitmate NCAA Tourney Contender...I don&#x27;t see how Harvard does not win tomorrow by at least 8 points...

Adding:2H Clemson -12  (1 Unit)I don&#x27;t think CofC has the depth to keep this type of game up...look for a big surge by Clemson in the 2nd Half...

harvard line down to -3

afdiesel26 · Answer

Idiots pounded that line down to -3 ... Simply because LMU beat an overrated UCLA team ...

Hope you tailed me as we pound home another 3 unit play!!! This game was never really in question!!

1-0-1 on the day for + 3 units!!!

DaProf · Answer

Nice one!! Think the line Thursday will be less than 15? Utah may very well be the worst team in all of D1...

Loss to Adams College??

Beat San Diego Christian College 58-55??

Loss today at home to Montana St.??

Harvard should crush them

Still don&#x27;t see how Harvard was only 3.0 favorites at tip-off...thank you "public" for helping to make it easier for the serious investors to earn money Recap: 1-0-1 ; &#x2B;3 UnitsHarvard -4.5 (3 Units) 2H Clemson -12  (1 Unit) - PushYTD Record: (11-8-1; &#x2B;9.4 Units) 1 Unit Plays (6-8-1  43%)2 Unit Plays (3-0 - 100%) ** Reported inncorrectly at start of this post and end of Friday&#x27;s post...but documented on Covers shows my record is 3-0 On 2 Unit plays...3 Unit Plays (2-0 - 100%)
