November Hoops

Didn't expect to lose any bets?

No I am new. He is correct. Its not hard to look at my post count and when I joined. 

Not my biggest bet of the year

If you have a good moneymanagement system it is no problem of course, just a little shame.

1-10 units is my way, average is 3-4, and very rarely a bet that's higher than 7 units, and of course never bigger than my maximum 

Yes, 3* = 3 units. 2* = 2 units. 1* = 1 unit.

I like Baylor. SDSU three games in three days, travel day, then gameday.

Sorry, haven't read up on Albany yet.

Hot early, cold late. 

Revenge angle is a big part of it. I think if you look at last year's matchup, the big thing that came out of it was that Ohio State's backcourt experience really was a huge part of why they controlled that game from start to finish. Hoping that the veteran presence of Florida's backcourt does the same this year. Offensively, I like what Florida brings to the table in the fact that OSU will have a few spots where they just can't guard everyone that's on the court the same way. Clearly, Craft will make a difference on the defensive end, but I'm not scared on the other spots of the court from anyone. Defensively, Florida's got a better interior defense than what they had last year, but they do lose some offense from that unit. Donovan will look to extend the bigs out and force Sullinger to defend away from the basket a bit more than normal. From a strictly matchup standpoint, both teams matchup really well. I think when it comes down to it, I'm taking a chance on Florida here to hit some outside shots, take the crowd out of it, and go from there. Could not pass on the value here, especially with revenge.

A bit of both? Tough to say.

I don't look at them, never have. Maybe someone else can chime in and help you. I've always been a believer in focusing on the game itself, not a % of who is on what side.

I would definitely lean Midd Tenn State in that game even before the injury. They're playing really good basketball. As I've said before, the offense can sputter at any moment, and they showed glimpses of the sputtering in the last game. Curious to see if UCLA can rebound; would be awkward for them to open the year 0-2 with losses to two mid-majors.
