Kojaks Thursday College Hoops wtd 24-18-2

Kojak · Mar 4, 2004

Coming off of a 10-9 day on Wednesday. Smaller card on Thursday so let's get to it.

Notre Dame -8.5 - Irish won't let up here and Gtown has been non competitive especially on road. In South Bend, it will be a long night for Hoyas.(Easy win)

Cincinnati - 3.5 - Though Depaul has been playing well, a win here sets up a battle to win Conference USA over weekend with Memphis. Cincinnati has for the most part owned this series and will be ready tonight.

USC +8.5 - I'll take the team that has been more competitive down the stretch. Oregon has lost 4 in a row and shows no signs of life.(No Play)

Washington St. +10 (buy 1/2 pt)- Style of play will be huge here as Cougars will slow this game down to a snail's pace and keep it close throughout. Even though I don't think Stanford is looking ahead, I don't think they will have their A game in this one either.

San Jose St. +13.5 - Fresno St. has simple been crappy of late while SJS has been competitive and played extremely hard. I think the rivalry will keep this under the number and possibly SJS if they can could pull it out.

Best of luck.

Kojak,
Sorry about last night.USF shot the ball well and UAB could not throw it in the ocean.Good luck today.

LetsRoll · Mar 4, 2004

GL Kojak...I like that Cincy pick a lot.

Kojak,

I like your ND play, I too think the Hoyas will find this to be a long nite. Double digit win for the Irish.

Washington State is 4-1 ats the last five played at WSU, but the Cardinal's winning margin on the road keeps me from pulling the trigger.

That Vandy game was a shocker last night. I had Vandy as one of my 4 strong plays and expected an easy win! It cost me a 4 teamer.

Kojak · Mar 4, 2004

texaskid,

Best of luck and suggest looking at Cinci.

jaypaw · Mar 4, 2004

Kojak - you may have convinced me to play ND not sure though...

Are you sure about that USC pick with Craven out?

You read my thread didnt you?

Great job on Maryland last night!

wheredatreezat · Mar 4, 2004

Jak,

Like the first 3 plays, however disagree on the other 2...like Fresno in this spot to blow out SJS....coming off 5 tough losses in last 6 games where they were competetive...going up against a much weaker team, back at home...points to a blowout...can u give some more info on your SJS play please...SJS awful on the road as well...thanks and gl

Kojak · Mar 4, 2004

jaypaw,

I know Craven is out but I think they still get the job done here.

treez,

Washington St. has covered 4 of last 5 home games and style of play will keep scoring margin close. In regards to Fresno, you are giving this team too much credit. They are not a good team imo.

Best of luck to both of you.

Kojak · Mar 4, 2004

I am getting off of USC as there are other better games to play with Craven out. So USC is a no play.

Adding...

Wofford +10 (buy 1/2pt)(loss)

wheredatreezat · Mar 4, 2004

thanks, gl...I actually thought you were giving too much credit to SJS...someone will win since it's .5.....good luck to ya....lets cash in on the first 3 together!!

TigerVen · Mar 4, 2004

Kojak,

Is Cincy your strongest play tonight?
That may be the only game I take. I don't have a feel for much else on the board.
Is there anything else you feel as strong about as Cincy tonight?

Good Luck

fastfreddy · Mar 4, 2004

Also leaning on Wofford now, GSouth has been sketchy the last few weeks and will probably win a close one.

Kojak · Mar 4, 2004

tigerven,

Cinci and ND are 2 strongest plays with SJS close. Best of luck.

Kojak · Mar 4, 2004

fastfreddy,

Wofford is a solid play based on the reasons you stated. Also, line is moving our way. Best of luck.

Kojak · Mar 4, 2004

Adding...

Nevada -9.5

TigerVen · Mar 4, 2004

After checking covers and looking at G'town's record over the last ten games I think you are dead on about ND tonight. Since I'm from SEC country I'll tell you who G'town stats look like- OLE MISS. They are a tired team with nothing to play for.
I will be on the Irish tonight.

I'm leary of the Cincy pick after evaluating both teams...so if you don't mind telling me, What makes you so confident cincy goes on the road and beats them by 5 or more tonight?

Thanks and good luck

ElIguana · Mar 4, 2004

Kojak,

I like Washington State, but I don't know if a team with a 5-5 home record can keep it within 9.5 of this undefeated (road games and otherwise) Stanford team....talk me into it, Bro!

TigerVen · Mar 4, 2004

I went with ND -9 and cincy -4.
Cincy is the Minority pick as far as the board goes. Some decent players here like Depaul (NY Reb, Smokey, etc.)
Should be interesting!
