Dog's NCAA Hoops

New to the board. Don't play that many games. Will post 1*,2* or 4* plays only.

1st Play
Idaho +9 - 1*
This is a great cover team especially at home. Idaho is hungry for a W and with the holidays coming up and on the road they should catch Utah St flat. Think they keep this one very close.

 

Not only does Idaho keep it close they get the W they were looking for.

YTD: 1-0 (+1.0)

Back next week, everyone have a happy holiday weekend!

 

Tuesday 12/28

Oklahoma St -10 - 1*
Gonzaga should be exposed in this one by the OSU defense and interior. The Zags will also be hurt with Turiaf not at full speed.

 

YTD: 1-1 (-0.1)

Sunday 1/2

Florida -3 - 2*
Florida is fired up and ready for this game. They have had good practices over the break and should take care of FSU.

Boston College -4 - 1*
Mismatch on the interior and BC plays well on the road. UMass still getting to much credit for the UConn upset.

 

YTD: 2-2 (-1.3)
Wednesday 1/5

Tennessee - 4 - 2*
Tennessee should rebound here against a horrible GA team. The fact that they played down to Nebraska pre conference opener is not a concern. Conference play is a whole other ballgame. TU will be ready and they have the athletes to blow Georgia off the court.

 

YTD: 3-2 (+0.7)

Saturday 1/8

Oklahoma St -3 - 2*
This line has come down enough. TT is 7-0 at home but they are no where near good enough for OKST. Expect the Cowboys to bring their "A" game to conference play and get this win.

 

YTD: 4-2 (+2.7)

Sunday 1/9

Kentucky -6 - 1*
Bad spot for Kentucky traveling to KU right before going to Iowa St. Expect Kansas to struggle on this road trip. The absence of Simien in the middle will finally show. Kentucky is fired up for this game and should roll at home by double digits.

 

YTD: 4-3 (+1.6)

Tough game yesterday with Kentucky, don't normally play this many games in a week but 2 I really have had my eye on tonight including first 3* play


Monday 1/10


Notre Dame +2.5 -3*
Been waiting for this game, first real road game for Syracuse. One of the more overated teams at this point as well. This is a very good Notre Dame team that plays erratic at times. Tonight the wrong team is favored, and the Irish will win this game outright with a strong outing.

Middle Tennessee St - 5.5 - 2*
Big conference game and some payback tonight for MTSU who lost at home last year to Little Rock. MTSU will contend for the conference title and an NCAA touney berth and has a huge homecourt advantage here.
