Stupid Gonzaga is getting beaten up by a team they handles twice before. They layed down and through my 5 game streak in the garbage. This was the longest streak I've had since the summer when I had a pair of 6s. No wonder those prize amounts are impossible!

Tough night to bet on college basketball, or any other sport. I would have stayed away, but I only had a 1 game win streak so I had to go for it. Now back at 0. My best streak was 6 also.

Shoot, I was going to take St Mary's last night but didn't. I was going to take St.Mary's tonight too, but didn't.
My 10 game win streak is still intact, but 12 would have been nice.
Sorry bout your Gonzaga pick, but St.Mary's is a good team and when good teams play each other anything can happen.
Plus, this is the time of year when underdogs come through.
Well I took Gonzaga based on recent history between the 2 with 6 straight wins coming in and felt that they dominated St. Mary's. Unfortunately I picked them when St. Mary's was the desperate team and they won by 19 this time. St. Mary's outplayed them big in the 2nd half and deserved the win. I'm disappointed on going back to 0 but at least I got higher then 2 and I will hopefully make a new streak.

WTH Seton Hall. they were up by 25 and the -6 pick looked like I was going back to 1 for sure. Instead SH chokes and almost loses and gives me my 2nd straight loss after 5 straight wins. If I had not lost my streak on Gonzaga this would be the worst collapse of ALL time!

I am going to wait until the Seton Hall vs. Notre Dame spread comes up and then I am going to pound on ND if it is 6.5 or less to get payback on SH for this implosion. How anyone could be up by 25 with 6 minutes left and win by 3 (if Providence had hit that 3 there would have been OT) is just sad.

I think Notre Dame wins their game too, but I'm a little
scared of Seton Hall so I didn't feel comfortable picking that game. Someone in the forums mentioned that Seton Hall will have a better feel for the court because of their game yesterday.
Oklahoma St. (-6.5) for win #2.

Congratulations eMatchup, and moneym8 on your wins! I'm taking over 5.5 goals between Tampa Bay and Toronto and for win 2. Hopefully they'll put up some goals.

I still am having trouble getting over that loss by Washington State last night. I lost my W4 because they couldn't make free throws and get rebounds. But to lose on a tip in with .2 seconds left (to force overtime), just bad luck whenever I try to get to a W5. I skipped the ND game because I know how bad Oregon is. That will go down in my Top 5 of most heartbreaking losses. I got back on track with Georgetown and now hoping to end March on a 21 game winning streak and get at least $26,000.

At 2:58 p.m I had to make a decision if I was going to take this game or not as it started at 3:00. I decided to go for it without even looking at the rest of the card for the day. Hope I don't regret my decision.
Utah St. (-11)

for win # 4. Probably should quit while I'm ahead and take a break, but I couldn't resist. Xavier seems like a strong play, as they are a team that wants to win the tourny, not just for seeding for march madness. The last game they lost was against Dayton, but since then they haven't lost, 7 game streak. After reading some of the players and coaches comments, it seems as though they'll be motivated to win.
Xavier(-3) over Dayton

Stupid Akron -3.5 pick. They win 66-64 against Western Michigan. Akron was up 40-31 at the half but different story in the second half as we've seen before in college b-ball.
I was swaying from pick to pick. Was going to take Texas El Paso (they covered) as well as Temple (they also covered) but second guessed myself like I usually do.
I was thinking of Pacific too, so if they cover tonight I'll be kicking myself again.
My streak ends at 11 wins.

Xavier pick hits for win # 4. It was looking like Dayton was going to win the game, but then Xavier came back and the refs ultimately decided to give Xavier the game.
Sorry for the loss moneym8. Its tough when you spend all those days trying to make good picks and it all goes down the drain. I was also looking at Temple, but started looking into it too late. Pacific seemed to be the top public play according to another site(87% on them) and was thinking about it. But in the end, Xavier looked to be in a good spot, but sure didn't play like it. If I ever hit 11, I'm definitely gonna make only 1 or 2 plays within every 7days

Yeah, it hurts when ya get that high and it ends like that - 2 points away. Although, it hurt more when my 10 game win streak ended in December because it was more the fault of Indy's coach not playing Payton Manning for the whole game when I thought they'd go for the perfect season.
Congrats on the Xavier win. Nice comeback for them. We've seen a lot of comebacks. Last week one of my picks were down 11 or so in the 2nd half and they came back to cover -5.5
I think picking less games when I got to 10 wins wasn't a good idea for me.
I missed out on St.Mary's wins last Sunday and Monday which were the picks I was going to make but didn't. Thursday I saw Calgary Flames (NHL) on the list when it first opened late Wednesday after midnight/early Thursday and I didn't take them right away, it then disappeared off the list. So right there were 3 wins where I second guessed. Then again yesterday, too much bouncing from pick to pick. I just need to stick to my initial picks and continue picking daily or every second day if they picks are there.
I'm not sure about my pick today. I just picked the first team I saw and liked without looking into it more - Temple -3
Good luck to everyone

Temple looked to good, which is why I didn't take it. My goal is to get to 7 wins (first and for most), so I won't be making any picks unless I feel really confident.

moneym8 I'm sorry about your loss, this game can get very lucky or unlucky at times. I'm taking over 146 for Kansas State/ Kansas. I hope it hits for win 3. I wanted to take ND +5 last nite but my computer had internet problems.

but be careful when picking against someone when you're pissed at them.
