wow. i definitely have been trying to motivate you , but it doesn't seem to be working!!!

I think the best way to make plays in to look at late line movement.. it isn't perfect but it is pretty good lately. UNC-G +2 is a good play tonight i think. you're on Appy fairly big. we will see who gets the last laugh tonight.

also, saying that winning and losing are equal in your eyes ... two slices in the same pie ..and equally accepted is dangerous. the only people that i know that are true winners hate losing.

This is what I don't get. Everyone loves the writeups, everyone loves the information, everyone loves reading everything that's put out there. But at the same time, there's a few who consistently post in the same thread or razz others. Spend your off time or save the dumb comments and use that time to look at a game or two.

It's not hard. If everyone could contribute, think of the options that would be available.

Why?  just fade.

QUOTE BY NROPP: " Northeastern should be more competitive through the course of the CAA season than in their non-conference schedule they’ve played thus far and there will be some good spots but this is not one of them. They have been travelling across the country for most of the season, playing in a few tournaments and having the toughest strength of schedule in the conference because of it. They’ve also played some pretty drastic games that included either getting up and down at a quick pace, or playing a snail pace where possessions are a key. Either way you look at it, this team should perform a ton better than it did out of conference with the familiarity within the conference and the teams it competes with."

from the early jan notes. looks like a great spot for n'eastern

Line movement means absolutely nothing, late/early, morning/night, 3 points/2 points, fave/dog, it just doesn't mean anything unless a late injury is involved or something that includes an actual reason. Kids on the court decide the game, not the line. That's my personal opinion. Yours could be different. I invite you to start a thread, run some tests, analyze it.

Apparently, I'm not a true winner. No need to explain...

I appreciate you taking the time to ansewr my question.. Goodluck tonight..

how u feel about this Minny/Indy under 139???

I just think Indy will struggle to score without Watford and Jones if he plays won't be 100%...

Also Nolen being out for Minny has to hurt in terms of their offense...

Would think you would like Umass given the fact you like the under. If this game is played in the 50s, 5 points is pretty steep

Can I mildly disagree? I believe coaches have a modicum of influence. It's making an overall strategy and implementing the tactics. An example for me is tonight Syracuse vs. UConn -3. I'll take Calhoun over Boheim any day. I believe Calhoun is a much better tactician than Boeheim and it wasn't apparent to me until 100 years ago when Syracuse got beat by Indiana in the final game of the tourney. Syracuse beat IU the entire game until the end when Keith Smart nailed that jumper. That game had me as a Jim Boheim "bet against" when facing a coach that was a superior tactician. Calhoun is a helluva lot more wily IMHO and I think they cover the 3.

Neil - Great picks as usual...its comical at times to see complainers on here with no insight on any games.  Keep doing what you're doing.  Much appreciated.

Any thoughts on USU-Nev?  I think 15 is a high number for the Aggies..I think they are heads and tails above Nev as far as talent. But I like Nev given more time to prepare...Also seems to be a jinx on teams that crack the Top 25 for the first game after making it in the polls, i.e. aggies just did...plus im hoping the aggies are tired from the flight back from Hawaii 3 days ago..plus nevada on nat'l TV tonight ....I like the +15...any thoughts?
