GWarner...It is just a lack of team direction. They dont really have an identity (Lasalle). They havent for years. I dont know their TO #'s off hand but in years past it was brutal. Duren is a decent PG, but he is a fresh. Teams need direction and I think Giannini needs to figure it out or go.

dayton, it is hard to explain. They have talent...a lot of dayton fans want BG out...some dont. Similar dilemma we see here at URI with Baron. BG just doesnt seem to adjust enough IMO. Not sure what to make of it all. A die hard Flyer can tell you better than I could.

Hey CrusCrnshw, thanks for your A10 thoughts and write-ups throughout the season.  It's a tough conference and always one of the more competitive conference tournaments.

This Lasalle/Bonnies line just doesn't seem right to me.  The line was 4.5 when these 2 played @ Bonnies a few weeks ago, and Bonnies won by 21.  Now they're playing again in the same gym and the line is the same??  Seems fishy.   Granted, Lasalle has been playing better ball since the Xavier humiliation, but the line should still be at least 6, or even 5.5.  Maybe Lasalle's the play?

Jayfan thanks for the comments...lots of people think Vegas knows something if people see a different line. I dont buy it.

I think it should be 5-5.5...6 possibly...LaSalle is playing a little better than they were when they last met and Vegas probably factors in that the winner has to travel to AC on Thursday. Maybe they expect the game to be a little slower?

If you liked St. Bona before you saw the line, and still like it, play it. Too often people are on this "Vegas knows"...it means nothing to me. Look at the URI game...4 is lower than I thought too...but it is what it is.

I remember when Bona was -3 against a struggling STL team a few weeks back...game was in the high teens for at least 50% of the game.

Play what you like. Dont worry about "vegas traps"...

Crus...As you see I have been a member for quite a while..I have followed your a-10 plays through out the years.  On to my question...my local lets me parlay quaters..halfs..and full games in the same parlay.  I see alot of sportsbooks/locals don't allow this..do you see any value in parlays the same team or total in one parlay? I realize teams make adjustments and change styles..but if you like an over/under there is some value in getting 13/5 if you parlay it. Your Opinion is much appreciated ..best of luck in the A-10 tourey

If you are able to parlay halves and games...

say 1st half over and game over or whatever, you have a serious advantage...because the bets themselves are intertwined.

If a game goes over in the 1st half by 7, you are that much closer to the game over...Id play with it....

any feelings on a side for that St joes/GW game? Not real familiar with the confrence but am liking the +8.5 for St Joes.  Is it worth a small wager?

ST BONNIES COACH OR PLAYERS COSTED THEM THE GAME. A GOOD COACH AND SMART PLAYERS WOULD KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A TIMEOUT IN OVER TIME. IF THEY CALL TIMEOUT INSTEAD OF FORCING IT IN, AT LAS END AND TURNING THE BALL OVER. THIS IS THOSE CRUCIAL POINTS IN GAMES WHERE SMARTER COACHES AND PLAYERS MAKE THE DIFF IN WINNING OR LOOSING! OH WELL, YOU LEARN FROM THESE TYPES OF GAMES.

I am BEYOND glad I did not have to watch the 2 games I lost today

Unreal...

0-2 should be 1-1 at worst...but that is the way things bounce sometimes.

I hope Dayton and over can hit.

I had the right play in the GW game...what can you do. Bona should have covered, but so many games shoulda coulda woulda...

sucks but the way it goes...

i know my skills, and i know my picks...ill keep doing what I do

lets go over and dayton

What did the toal end at in the Dayton game? if i wouldn't have gone to the GW game i probably would have had a small bet on the over in that one.

I have had 2 miracle wins on very large bets in the last couple days..on sunday i had the over of the American-Lafayette game closing out a very nice paying parlay..even after the first OT the game was still under, i needed double OT to get that win..i cant take these sweaters on the big games..i got most of my money sent back tonight so for the next month i can sit back and bet $100 or $200 a game and actually enjoy it.

One thing about these conference tournament game totals..teams will foul at the end in situations they might not in the regular season because if they lose the season is over..if that was a regular season game i dont think GW keeps fouling towards the end..late in the game GW missed a shot when they were down 10 or 11, they didn't foul and just backed off and ran up court..GW coach karl Hobbs was literally jumping up and down telling his team to foul..when i saw that i knew i had a shot to get the win if GW could just knock down a few more shots..which thankfully they did.

I count on you daily for some A10 info. You got robbed in the GW game and the other one could have easily went your way. Just one of those shitty days.

He certainly got robbed in the GW game..that is the very definition of robbery! GW misses an easy put back layup with about a second left that would have ended it..even after regulation they only had 98 points combined..they needed a huge OT to take it over..i was thinking i certainly needed Double OT to get the win.
