Ohio and FSU 1H over were laughable, and I apologize for that, but quite ridiculous. I'm on the u80 2H for LSU/Michigan and it will be counted regardless of win/loss, but, I will add a few finals. Colorado also forced 7 turnovers in the first 10 minutes, none in the last half, but only down 4 and nothing going in the basket? I'm content with it. Screwed with LSU ML in the 1H with leading the entire half and no scoring the last 4 minutes, but, hopefully they can hold on! Alabama v. Maryland o64 1H Kansas v. USC o63.5 1H Kansas v. USC o135

Need a big effort from the Bobcats out of the half, I expected a deficit at half just like against Virginia, but not for this to happen. We keep moving along. I am on LSU 4 ways, simply out of hatred for Michigan and think this is a true challenge for them, but screw it, it's March and we haven't had and upsets yet today...they're due. UCLA lean hits though! By 4 ways I mean +2.5 1H, +150 ML 1H, +5 FG, and +160 ML FG, in case that was confusing for anyone! |

Going to just put a few plays out there for the sake of it, sorry for a brief leave, I have commitments I have to attend to first and such, but will try my best to get back on here. March record overall is 69-41 (62.7%) with 2-1 posted for the tournament on here although I have bet more. Some picks for today are: Ohio +5.5 & + 185 ML v. Creighton - Ohio has the talent and the playstyle to take down Creighton today. Creighton has been ridiculously shaky as of late. Ohio shoots at the 61st highest 3-point rate in the country and Vander Plas should be able to spread the floor like he did against Virginia. Jason Preston should be able to drive with more ease than against Virginia despite being covered by Zegarowski (most likely) and do not have the greatest bigs to clog the lane. Not to mention, when driving into the lane, the kick-out should be a fairly viable option for the Bobcats given Creighton allowing the 90th highest 3 point scoring rate in the nation. Ohio's defense is vulnerable, but they still have the edge on the defensive boards. If the Bobcats are able to keep their pace and stylistic play, including the areas where they should have edges, particularly the defensive boards, they should keep this within two possessions and potentially get to the Sweet Sixteen. LSU +5 v. Michigan - LSU will be the 3rd best offense Michigan has faced this year. Without Isaiah Livers, Michigan is allowing 1.03 PPP now, and they yield the 91st highest 2 point scoring rate in the country which does not bode well against a Tigers offense that absolutely loves and is at its best when attacking the paint, particularly in transition. Hunter Dickinson is typically the key to a Michigan cover, and interior defense is the main strength of the LSU defense. As long as this game is not played in the half-court setting, LSU should keep this one close. I will continue fading the Big 10 here. Colorado +2 v. Florida State - FSU always seems to be a team everyone is high on but always goes out fairly early. I will say this now, I do not see FSU making it to the Elite 8, so I will begin fading them against the Buffalos. FSU has a turnover problem and was fortunate to escape UNCG. With Colorado being in the top 115 in forcing turnovers, just under 20 per game, the Seminoles can be in trouble tonight. FSU's defense is fairly overrated in my opinion, and Colorado has the scorers to put them to rest tonight. With the Buffalos edge on the offensive boards and second chance points/opportunities as well, if they can force around 15 turnovers from the Seminoles tonight, I see FSU going home. Write-ups and explanation for my picks like usual, but dove a little deeper to provide some insight into my thinking and reasoning as lines will become shaper deeper into the tournament. As always... Let's dance tonight |

Opinions? Izzo nonsense before half might backfire Sorry I didn't see this before, but yes, I felt it was fairly straightforward in my eyes that this game was going to be an absolute dogfight in the end like I said in the original write-up, so taking UCLA 2H was a great play. I didn't get in on it because I was focused on work, but was the right angle for sure. |

Taken the time off and taking some other sports, and now we are back for the madness to begin. Hitting 67-40 (62.6%) this month and hoping to continue that into the tournament. Here are two bets I placed days ago Ohio +8.5 v. Virginia UConn -2 v. Maryland My one play for today to just get some action is: Michigan State -1 1H v. UCLA - I hate that the public is on this side as well and can see UCLA coming out and winning this easily, but, I will side with Izzo in March to lead the more experienced team out of the first four games. I don't really like Michigan State, they are sloppy for sure, but UCLA is simply not that good either. I will lean and take the experience and Izzo to lead the Spartans here. Be prepared for the absolute rock fight of a game! |

Quadruple cash all no sweats, best feeling. We dancing again Memphis +7.5 v. Houston Oklahoma State v. Texas -2.5 (2u) Georgetown +9 v. Creighton Ohio +1.5 1H v. Buffalo |

Add: Ohio +1.5 1H v. Buffalo - Going to put my trust in the best player on the floor, Jason Preston, to get the Bobcats going and keeping them red hot |

Add: New Mexico State v. Grand Canyon +2 - I really like how NMXST has played recently, but Grand Canyon simply has too much of an inside advantage here to ignore, ranking 25th in FGA rate close to the rim and 33rd in FGM while the Aggies are 279th in FG percentage near the rim. GCU has a 7 footer and another 6 foot 10 inch player in Alessandro Lever who not only dominate in the paint but also have range. They've shown to dominate in this matchup this year combining for 26 PPG and 12.5 RPG in their two matchups. Give me the Antelopes to finally get to the NCAA tournament. Georgetown +9 v. Creighton - This is simply too many points to give to a Hoyas team playing absolutely fantastic basketball that should continue to find success from the perimeter and has a good balance of bigs and guards from Blair to Wahab to keep this within double digits. |

3-3, Hogs decided to not play for 7 minutes in the second half. Add: Oklahoma State v. Texas -2.5 (2u) - Love the story for the Cowboys and Cade Cunningham, but Andrew Jones and the Longhorns take the championship today.

LSU v. Arkansas -4 2H (-1 FG) - Happened last time they played and LSU caught fire towards the end of the 1H and Arkansas took over the 2H. Look for the Hogs to take this game. |

Add: Fairfield v. Iona -4 1H / -7.5 - Iona is simply more experienced and better on both ends of the court. Pitino absolutely LIVES for games like these and Fairfield has one of the worst offenses in the nation and have made it through an easy path to the final. Stags go down today. |
