Wednesday Hoops

BOL Neil.  Just wondering if you could help me out on why you lean to the Bonnies.  If you got time to let me know, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

 

Long time listener first time caller.  Big fan.

Not happy to see you on the Wolverines.  Would love to hear a bit of your insight, as I value it.

I can't over look Michigan's lack of an inside presence, their inability to create their own shot.  I wish I could, cause they are my team

Gotta request takes on these games before the line forms:

Neil:

I lean Baylor but am on the fence. Can you please convince me to go with my gut and take the bears tonight.

Thanks in Advance

Nebraska is without Jorge Brian Diaz.  Without him Nebraska has less inside presence than any team.  And the Skers do not shoot 3s very well.

The improved Bengals (12-9), who have already won more games this year than they did all of last season (11-21), were sent packing from the SEC tourney by the Commodores in 2011. Not only does series history (11-7 ATS, including 7-4 ATS with revenge) suggest payback is in order tonight in Memorial Gym but so does Vandy’s 1-4 ATS log at home versus a conference foe with last-season tourney revenge. Better yet for LSU backers is the fact that the third-place Commies arrive in the middle of a second-place Florida/first-place Kentucky revenge sandwich. Expect Vandy’s energy to be sapped after Saturday's loss in Gainesville here in Nashville tonight…

like drake/illni state under as well...

Neil,

Another day another battle against the bookies lol. i like a lot of you plays today. Before i formulate my final plays for today tho, i was wondering if we could have a healthy discussion on the following games.

The temple game. Temple has been covering a lot lately. They are not a bad home team, and at first glance i was going to lay off temple. It opened at 13 for me and i thought i would find something better. However, the line is moving down, definately something i was not expecting. I see Temple blowing George Washington out. Was just wondering on your view of this one.

The next one i was looking at was DUKE UNC. I had this one at unc -8.5 . when i saw it open at -6.5 i almost jumped. it's now at 6. I strongly feel that unc wins this game convincingly. I actually see it mirroring the game yesterday at Kentucky. Your insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

Lastly you think Penn state covers against michigan?

BOL today. will probably join you on a few plays.

Hi Nropp, thanks for the Bama play yesterday!

Can I get your analysis on Pitt, Michigan, and Rutgers today?

I love all 3, but can't decide on which one I should hit hardest as I usually limit myself to one major play a day. Pitt is rolling as expected since Woodall got back. Michigan seems to be getting a little better on the road and just seem like the better overall team and Rutgers intrigues me as they've taken down a lot better quality teams at home than S. Hall. Does Rutgers play any kind of a zone at all? If I remember correctly S. Hall struggles to score vs zones correct?

Thanks and GL on all your plays! Much appreciated as always.

Nice one with Alabama,then the double up at the half,which I missed,lol
you had that one pegged and was right about Flor.,if the 3s dont fall they dont cover,think they hit one in the first half,I was able to take Kent.in sec half to end up making some money on it,

GL today

Very anxious to read the writeup on Richmond +2. I am from Richmond, and have largely been disappointed with them all season, but am always in awe of your excellent capping. Great work hitting your last two *5 plays, Neil! Keep up the great work as always.

Nropp, why don't give a short reason for your plays so you won't get so many people asking why you like it.  You've spoiled everbody with your long writrups, but now you write nothing and we have to waste time seeing if anybody asked you about it. This would make it easier on you and those following you as your input is equal to none!

LIKE the SPIDERS AS HOME DOGS...........

After a loss anytime this season, Mich has gone on to win and or win ats so far. 6-0 or 6-1. Im def taking Mich-3. GL Nropp. Yeah the trend doesn't matter but in this spot, Michigan will win this game by 5+ easy. Thats my take on it Superfly but i'm no Neil either bud. I am having a good week so far. Mich is my team to but cant let emotions play with our money but our team is the better team today.

Neil,

I have been looking at this Lasalle game most of today, I see why you would be on Richmond but everyone seems to find value in Lasalle including your old friend EJSaint10! Thoughts.
I think if it hits 2.5 ill make a play on Richmond

Lets talk a little about Baylor at home with Revenge in mind vs Kansas. If you look back at the 1st matchup they let that game get away in the last 2.30 of the 1st half, then the home shellacking started in the 2nd half. Total also is interesting and I think this game is played way slower than the first which hit the over with almost 7 mins left!

Looking for your thoughts

thx

Thoughts on Arkansas tonight? Thanks!

Opinion on the 'Cuse/G'town O/U tonight? thanks a lot

Any longshot ML dogs have any value tonight IYO. Duke, Gtown, N.Iowa??

Correct on the pace thing with the Bonnies. Schmidt is an up-tempo coach but obviously knows his meal ticket (at least this season) is an elite post player whose best work is done in the halfcourt setting. Betting Bonnies' overs will have a ton of value heading into next season with Nicholson no longer in the fold.

I see your point on the bigger SBU guards defending Chaz, but the guy is so absurdly fast with the ball that no one can stay in front of him. Even Carl Jones from SJU, probably the second-quickest player in the conference, couldn't even come close to staying with him. If UMASS succeeds in turning up the heat early, the porous Bonnies ballhandlers probably cough up the ball 20+ times before all is said and done.

Then again, the A-10 has been such a clusterfuck this season that no result would surprise me at this point.
