212-200 (-22.50 Units)

Started to grind back up yesterday going 1-0 (+4.00 Units) with a win on Washington. Hopefully I can string a few together here.

For tomorrow I am going to go with:

4 Units
Kansas +4.5

Watching Big XII, ball for a while now, and I agree Kansas
will make it very close. Remember, Kansas and Mizzou are big
rivals. Expect it real close with Kansas even winning in Mizzou. Just FYI, but what the heck is up with K-State. They
are the upset dogs this season in Big XII play.

BOL

lol....there is NO better explanation!

Pomeroy has this game at Mizzou -5, Dan Curry has it as too close to call, College Hoops Net has it at Mizzou -5 and my model has this game at Mizzou -3.9. The line as of 12:17 (at the Greek) is -4.5.

If you can find a way to bet into that, then your a much better capper than most.

Good Luck on your action...

Right now I think Missouri is an overvalued team. Coming off of an upset of Texas they are getting a lot of credit while Texas is plain and simple just struggling. This is an intense rivalry with both teams being very evenly matched at this point in the season. On a nuetral floor I think Kansas is about 3 points better then Missouri. Missouri is a tough place to play but Kansas has won thier many times in the past and won't be intimidated on the road.

Missouri likes to score and keep the pace fast and like to force turnovers on the defensive side. However, with such a well coached team and a guy like Sherron Collins carrying the ball up the floor I don't think Missouri will have much success. His speed alone I think will lead to some easy Kansas buckets.

Kansas also holds an advantage inside in this one in my opinion and have been better on the glass then Missouri all year. Also, Kansas shoots free throws much better then Missouri. These are some crucial advantages Kansas has in this game.

They have the better coach and this is a statement game for Kansas. Kansas has been great all year but no one is really picking up on them. They still think this is a down year for Kansas but they crawled into the 16 spot in the coaches poll this week and with this win they can possibly leap into the top 10 by the end of the week and if you think the kids won't be motivated by this then you haven't spoken to any NCAA athletes.

With two teams that are fairly evenly matched and several crucial advantages going to Kansas I don't see how the +4.5 points aren't a great bet. This game will be close in my opinion and I think Kansas slides by and steals a win in Missouri.

Can't believe all of the people on Mizzou

There is little statistical input with this analysis, but I attend K-State, and while I hate KU I have watched enough of both teams to really like KU tonight. Missouri wins by getting the game in an uptempo pace and causing turnovers. However KU has very good ball handling guards in Ty Taylor and Sherron Collins. They allow the 2nd fewest points in BIG XII play and lead the conference in defensive rebounding. I feel that KU can slow down Missouri by playing suffocating defense, and Cole Aldrich I think will be the difference in this game.

The other potential play I see in this game is the under. Either way if the game goes under I believe KU covers and the game needs to go over for MU to cover.

They finally have found their style of play, and they did not any favors with the early part of their scheduling. They have arguably the best 3 combination of scoring guards in the BIG XII with Pullen, Clemente, and Brown. Those three will decide how far they go this season, but they are really finding their groove at the moment. I think they can win at least the next 2 including a game at home against KU.

Kansas is 3rd worst in the conference in turnovers per game.

Whether Kansas is the better team or not, it doesn't really matter. Missouri has the home court in a definite dual tonight. If you think a team is favored by more than they should, BET ON THAT TEAM. There's a reason.

 

[coitus_maximus]

Right now it seems only 3 of us are betting Kansas tonight.

Oh well....we will see...

I agree man, and the line is going up too. Something's definitely fishy about that, think I like Mizzou too.

 

[ELMO75]

g/l tonight GD!!! I feel that Kansas is the better team but they have not covered as a road dog all year. Would feel more comfortable playing if they were -2 or pick'em. I feel I may get a better line at halftime.

 

[GimmeDattt]

Guys lets be real. Outside of this board all the money is coming in on Kansas. You really think the public likes a team like Missouri over the National Champs???

 

[GimmeDattt]

Kansas is now as high as +5.5???

Something is not right.

 

[GimmeDattt]

Going to take this one.

Both teams shooting a low percentage and played without some of thier key players. Pitt played without Blair for 15 minutes and withou Fields for about 12. WVU played without Ruoff, Butler, and now Bryant who has 3 fouls.

Whoever can stay out of foul trouble is going to win this one. If any of those WVU players get another foul or two WVU is going to be crushed. If Blair picks up his 4th Pitt still has several players like the supremley underrated Sam Young who can pick up the slack.

2 Units
Pittsburgh 2H -4

Keep it small.

 

[GimmeDattt]

PS even without Blair they won the boards 20-15.

 

[dopenose420]

Nice little sweep GD...keep them coming.

 

[GimmeDattt]

This is what I am talking about. Starting to build some confidence and a little run.

Feels good to finally win.
