3 unit: 0-1
2 unit: 25-21
1 unit: 114-92-7
Total: 139-114-7 +12.3 units

1-2 on Sunday. Florida St. was a 2-unit winner, Wake and Pitt both 1-unit losers. Some really bad basketball by Wake Forest. That is one team I would not be surprised if they get bounced early in the tourney.

Also, I'd like to apologize to Dolphin. If he is reading this, I misread an earlier post. We disagree on buying points, but I misread your post and responded in a way that distorted your words. I hope you read this. I'm sorry. Best of luck to you going forward.

One overnight:

526 Wofford -2.5 vs. Georgia Southern 1 unit
-- GS has played and traveled a lot in the past week plus. This is the team's eighth road game since Jan. 22. Only 3 home games in that stretch, including a close one with Wofford. Meanwhile, Wofford has put together a little win streak. Don't be alarmed by Forward Wilkerson (leading scorer) being red-lined on Don Best. He hasn't played quality minutes in a number of games because of injury.

The lines have moved as I expected they would after the books opened the road chalk so cheap for Monday. Should be a few more plays tomorrow.

Also, This is my Ivy League record for Steelrunner. It is conference games posted on the RX. I believe its slightly better for all games involving Ivy League teams, but I just pulled the conference games out for this post.

2 unit plays: 2-2
1 unit plays: 3-2-2
Total: 5-4-2

A few more:

508 N. Mexico +2 vs. Utah 1 unit
-- The Pit is a tough place to play and tonight is the night Utah's conference run comes to an end. Outside of seeding for the NCAA tourney, Utah doesn't have much to play for here besides pride (I'm sure they'll show up though). But after the clinch of the conference at AF on Saturday, tonight is a letdown spot.

520 Hawaii -1.5 vs. UTEP 1 unit
-- UTEP got caught in the bracket buster scheduling madness. Had to play Pacific and then has to go out to a conference game against the Rainbows in a tough arena. I like Hawaii to cover this number.

518 Wyoming -6.5 vs. San Diego St. 1 unit
-- I read about a really nice angle on this game and it makes sense. With four starters who are seniors, tonight is a special night in Casper, as it is the Cowboys last home game. I'm a little disappointed that this team did not play well against UNLV on Saturday, but that has to even add to their motivation to go out winners tonight.

A lot of games for a small card, but I like these plays. Also still looking at Oklahoma and ND hoping those numbers go up later in the day.

506 Oklahoma +1 vs. Kansas 1 unit
-- Can Kansas lose 3 in a row? I think so. Huge win at the buzzer for Oklahoma on Saturday and it sets up perfectly for the Jayhawks. Oklahoma has already beaten Ok. St. on this floor and generally plays very tough at home. This should be a great basketball game, with the Sooners pulling one out at the end.

Watching the ND line just rocket up. I'm seeing 8s right now and hopefully this will go higher.

8 is too many points if you were thinking of jumping on nd now is the time.i see the line coming down from there.

AK,

I have not been posting lately,but I have been keeping up with you.I have been on a good run lately and I am on New Mexico for a *2.5 tonight.Good luck with your card tonight.

ApolloKid · Feb 21, 2005

Always good to hear from you Low Tide. I hadn't seen posts from you and was hoping everything was OK. Glad to hear things are going well. I like New Mexico too. I think the spot favors New Mexico a lot.

GL tonight.

501 Notre Dame +8 vs. UConn 1 unit
-- Too many points to be giving a ND team that has played very well on the road though the games haven't always lead to victories. I may even play a first half here on them as well. Key for ND is to shoot well because UConn will win the inside battle.

Someone who is probably a lot smarter than me obviously likes Georgia Southern tonight, but I am keeping my Wofford ticket and hoping for the best.

That should be all for today.

THECLOSER · Feb 21, 2005

I agree with the ND analysis, and you can get +4.5 (1st Half) for ND right now...could be a good play, I see ND hanging tough for most of the game, and Uconn pulling away late, dont see a cover for them though...

ApolloKid · Feb 21, 2005

Yes, I just took a 4.5 on the first half as well. I really don't post halftimes and first halfs, so I won't call it an official play. But I do like it.
