Kojak's Thurs NCAA Tournament Plays

[Kojak]

NIT has not treated me well so far this week going 1-8 but today is the start of the dance which means winning time. So lets get to it.

I will be rating my plays as Killer(best),avg, and leans for the purpose of my strongest plays in the tournament.

Killers:

BYU +2.5 (loss)
UTEP +7(win)
Nevada +2.5(win)
Gonzaga -18(win)
Texas Tech -1(win)

Average:

Alabama State +34(loss)
Florida -5(loss)
Dayton +2.5
Virginia Commonwealth +12.5(killer-win)
Air Force +8.5(killer-loser)
Princeton +12(killer-loser)

Leans:
Alabama -2(loss)
Stanford -24.5(win)
Arizona -2.5(loss)
Vermont +21(win)
St. Joe's -24(loss)

Over/Unders:

Killers:
Air Force/North Carolina under 130(win)
Texas/Princeton over 119(loss)
Florida/Manhattan over 144(loss)

Average:

Stanford/Tex San Antonio over 136.5(loss)
BYU/Syracuse under 135(loss)
St.Josephs/Liberty under 137(loss)

The only games I am personally playing is the Killer plays but I thought for informational purposes I would list all the sides and a few totals to help with board consenses or fade. Best of luck.

Good Luck Kojak!! I think we agree on everything except your UTEP play. I like Maryland to continue the run they are on one more game and take it to the Miners. Maryland's been there before, UTEP hasn't, and I think UTEP is just happy to be there. Just my two cents on that game, but I hope we both come out with more $$$ in our pockets today!

YOUR KILLERS LOOK GREAT

 

[Kojak]

rss and big daddy,

Best of luck and Rss in regards to Maryland, you have a freshman oriented team going over 2 time zones playing early morning game, playing in thin air in Denver, played 3 games in 3 days with only 3 days rest but travelled vs an underrated and well rested UTEP team who did not have far to travel. I am smelling the upset in this one. Best of luck.

 

[markymark+]

Yeah, you're right about the Terps being young. I meant the franchise is used to the spotlight and the coach has been there. Hopefully he can calm those young bucks down to play smart. You have good points for UTEP also...best of luck!

[Bones13]

Good Luck today my friend.

 

[Just Bombin]

No offense but you have been waayyyyy off lately. From your game of the year to the NIT, I hope you didn't cost people too much money. Do you even put money down on your plays? Just wondering or do you just post. Good Luck in the NCAA's

 

[Kojak]

bones,

Best of luck!

justbombing,

If you look above, I told you that I am only playing the killer plays but listed my opinion for informational fading or consensus for the forum. I have not been sharp lately which I am very frank on letting people know. But besides the Missouri fiascos, I have been winning nearly every night if you go back and check my posts for the past 3 weeks. I have had prior to NIT I believe like 3 under 500 days in last 20 days. Not exact but something in that ballpark. I just haven't had a blowout day recently. But yes I do play all of my plays unless I specifically say I am not like today's post above. GL>

GL kojak

I was considering dayton too - isnt there a depaul injury ?

 

[MNcapps]

Just Bombin,what is that?Kojak has proven to be
a asset to this forum and a class act.Don't
beat someone up for a cold streak.I would
imagine he has made more money then lost for
the forum.You need to pay attention.
Good luck KO & hope things turn for the better

Kojak-Good Luck today, on a couple of your leans Bama and Zona. Why do you like BYU? One of my buddy's is all over the Cuse. Wondering if I should sit on his action. I don't personally like that game. Well smack the man hard today!

 

[Kojak]

jaypaw,

Depaul has Seals suspended for this game due to the Championship Game ejection vs Cincinnati. Seals is one of their guys off the bench. Best of luck.

 

[Kojak]

mncapps,

I appreciate you having my back. Best of luck today with your plays.

 

[Kojak]

kapusta,

The reason I like BYU is for the following:
First, Cuse has no one to guard Aronjyo at the Center position. Forth and Mcneil will struggle all day guarding this future #1 draft pick. Second, game is in Denver in the same arena where BYU just played in their conference tournament last weekend. This means they have already adjusted to shooting in this arena's background and are used to the thin air in Denver while Cuse has not. Third, BYU have enough athletes to play uptempo and or half court with the Cuse. Last, though Cuse is on a minor uptick, BYU is playing their best ball of the season. If Cuse struggled with Smith of BC in last loss, I don't know how they will stop BYU's big man. Imo, Cougars will win su in this one. Best of luck.

GL today, there are a lot on UNC-C backers that will be unhappy if Texas T brings there A game.

Do you have an injury update from Alabama? I'm considering this as one of my strong plays.

TY & GL

Kojak:

I am not sure why everyone is on Charlotte. They haven't beaten alot of quality teams this year. They mostly have beaten up on bad teams.
