detroit -2.5 2h

The first half ended exactly where I wanted it to. I've gotten burned by detroit so, so many times this year (0-5), they are perhaps the most talented underachieving team in all of basketball, 2nd being memphis. they should be able to take out their frustration in the 2nd half this game against a weak loyola ch team, they feel behind early and i expect them to find their identity here

All in on Tulsa sloop, they have killed me already this season but they are the better team. TCU is terrible, even when they won a few, I was hoping for a spot like this to play against them. When I see you on this one, was all the last boost I needed. just went 3U on it. also like Xavier and Oregon State but not ready to pull trigger just yet. that over looks mighty tasty in Ducks at Huskies.

well again i repeat, tread lightly on me today, as ive been in a slide the past couple days and often times it just seems to keep getting worse for a day or two. 0-2 already today.

agree, so much value in tulsa here.

i like xavier but i don't have the balls to take them after hawaii and after such a bad day yesterday. i hope you hit it man, truly do i will be pulling for them

oregon state looks sharp to me but good luck!

utah state +7 1h & +12.5 1/2 unit on each

1st half so easy

. i would consider a 2h bet, but i like where i stand for the game and i think miss state's physicality/speed/athleticism will eventually persevere. utah state absolutely has the chance to win this game straight up though and i would not be surprised whatsoever if they do.

In your first post in this thread you referred to yourself as the HOTTEST GARBAGE on Covers yesterday and I lol'ed so loud my girlfriend covered up the phone with her hand and told me to, shockingly, "go up!" Yes, I used the term "lol'ed" and yes I have a girlfriend, you guys have just never seen her because she goes to a different school

hahahaha. well i was just speaking the truth. you could have had a toddler flip a coin to choose bets yesterday and he/she would have had a better winning % than i did...

good job on your detroit bet. now, the fact that you called me foolish for betting loyola has made me angry, and I warn you, I do a lot of voodoo. I will make sure your mother dies of cancer

this maryland team is bad. glad i avoided the split. i figured idaho had the potential to win SU, but +5 wasn't enough for me as fouling could have easily sailed this into a 7-8 point loss.

moving on.

SIU-Edwardsville is the biggest fade in the business. They've won 11 D1 games in their 4 year history (playing horribly soft schedules), and were projected to finish in the worst 5 all NCAA this year. They have 1 good win this year against #226 Tennessee Tech, but aside from that they've been pure garbage.

Jacksonville St. hasn't done much to impress, but they have been really, really efficient defensively. Edwardsville has the #329 offense in the country, and although Jacksonville St. has struggled (to say the least) offensively, they go up against Edwardsville's #312 defense. Edwardsville is going to try to push the pace, but Jacksonville will force a lot of turnovers and keep them from pushing it. The only thing edwardsville is remotely good at is 3pt shooting, but jacksonville ranks 30th in country at defending the long ball.

Jacksonville St -5

Jacksonville St. u128

sorry for late adds

1/2 unit on each

So far:

Oklahoma St. -1.5

Austin Peay ML

Detroit -2.5 2h

Butler -4 PUSH

Utah St. +7 1h

Utah St. +12.5

pending:

Jacksonville St. u128

Jacksonville St. -5

Arkansas St. -3.5 2 units

Tulsa PK

USC +9

Nice easy cover by Utah State. Had a feeling that team wasn't getting the credit they deserve.

New Mexico -5.5

Washington St. ML

ASU +11

I just don't believe St. Louis has what it takes to run with NMU. They have the #320 SoS in the country. They haven't beaten a top 100 team since November, and still haven't played a road game against a top 100 team. New Mexico is a difficult place to play, and their team is straight up rolling right now. -5 is a nice line. Maybe a let down for NMU though after getting revenge on NM STate on Wednesday.

Washington St pick probably won't be a play. Mostly a fade of Oregon State b/c of weak SoS and Prospectus' preseason ranking. Admittedly, I have not seen them play.

ASU is so much better than a 4-8 team. Take a look at their losses and margins. That will probably be a play.

How many games has Arizona won by 10 or more points this year?

The answer is three, and these are the ones that they are:

#323 Bryant, a 40 point win.

#299 Northern Arizona, a 14 point win.
#98 Clemson, a 16 point win.

They all suck, including Clemson. You would agree, if you've ever seen Clemson try to put a basketball inside of the basketball hoop.

Good spot for Sun Devils.
