CBB Conference Tournaments 3/14/14

[Acebb]

Miserable last week of picks for me, on an 0-4 picks run. After going 0-2 yesterday my record falls to: 5-5 (-$25)

There were good plays yesterday that I just didn't pull the trigger on. Oklahoma, Cal, and Indiana are just not good tournament teams (mental note for next year) yet I didn't play big against any of them. Oh well, shooters keep shooting and on to today:

That at the buzzer loss couldn't happen to a nicer guy than that little weasel that is Cincy's coach!

Off the losing streak and back in the black with a couple wins today.

Missed NC State, they are incredible in this tourney ATS. Such a high line was puzzling so I stayed away. Though something is clearly wrong with Syracuse and probably will be a good NCAA tournament fade.

Hopefully some good angles tomorrow.
