Kojak's Tuesday College Hoops

[Kojak]

With BYU and over pending, starting week off strong at 6-3-1. Posting extremely early as will be on road for most of the day.

Top Plays:

North Carolina -17 This is a major payback game for Heels as Tigers played lights out last month at Clemson. Heels gaining some momentum going into ACC tournament after winning at NC State. I look for this one to get ugly.

Pittsburgh +2.5 - Pitt has Syracuse end home winning streak on Sunday as they may have been looking ahead to this one. Providence playing better than anyone in Big East right now but I think the character of this Panther team will show up in this one. They have been a very good road team as they will bounce back and get a win at Providence.(Big Win)

Average Plays:

Virginia +5.5 Pete Gillen's team has been playing well of late under the radar as Pete tries to save his job. Wake has been on a roll of late but they will be tested in this one. I see Virginia keeping it under the number with a chance to win.(win)

Michigan St. -2 This game won't be as easy as most think but Spartans will cover this game at home. I do expect supreme effort out of Wisconsin but it will fall short in the end.(loss)

West Virginia +2.5 - I look for the su upset as Orange have had a lot of problems scoring over the past couple of weeks. Home dog gets it done here. (loss)

Mississippi St. -13.5 With suspension of Killingsworth, Auburn has no chance in this one as this team has stuggled on road and Miss St. is not the place to get healthy.

Leans to Youngstown St, Detroit, Villanova.

Best of luck.

Upgrading North Carolina to a POW. thanks

 

[Kojak]

wtd record after Byu win and push on over at 7-3-2.

 

[brendanjack]

kojak like following your hoops.ON your North Carolina pick you dont think there in a let down situation after beating state.

 

[TigerVen]

17 pts. is a lot, but you are probably right about NC.
I like your Miss. State Play. I'm sure this line will climb during the day. Good luck.

 

[Kojak]

brendanjack and tigerven,

No let down for UNC tonight for these reasons:

1. Last home game
2. Senior Night
3. Revenge Game- Clemson won at their place

Take a look at Clemson on road: if Maryland beats them by 21 so will Carolina. They are a great team to bet against on the road as they nearly always don't cover and get blown out to boot. Best of luck.

 

[Kapusta]

Kojack-Good Luck on your plays-I see your on Pitt-Providence is my 5* play today, be careful on that one. Friars are tough at home and the best team in the Big East.

 

[Kojak]

Kapusta,

Best of luck with your plays and continued success.

Kojak:

We're on opposite sides of two games tonight but agree on Michigan State. So let's go Spartans and best of luck to you with your plays and thanks for your support yesterday.

Good Luck Kojak! We are on different games today, so hope we can both come out winners.

oldmanted,

As we have already found out that it is never good for either of us when on opposite sides. May have to upgrade MSU. Best of luck.

 

[Kojak]

rss,

Best of luck to you today as well!

 

[Kojak]

Adding...

St. Joseph's -28.5

St. Joe's/St. Bonaventure over 150

Kojak, My ACC input source has told me that NC @-17.5 is way too many pts. to be giving up. Also Manuel and Felton are out tonight for NC??? Just guessing, i'll say that NC wins by 13-16pts. Good Luck!!!!!

AlWatts,

F Jackie Manuel has been upgraded to probable while Felton still a ?. The fact there is a chance this could be Felton' last home game (NBA?) I think he will play in this one. Also, here is something to think about in regards to Clemson's poor road performance this year: Durham Herald-Sun reporting that Roy Williams believes both will play tonight.

Record on the road: 0-11

at Purdue-loss by 12
at Georgia-loss by 5 (before Georgia gelled)
at Cincinnati- lost by 23
at Wake Forest - lost by 15
at NC STate- lost by 17
at Virginia-lost by 11
at Georgia Tech- lost by 7
at Duke- lost by 26
at Florida St.- lost by 13
at Maryland - lost by 21

Avg margin of defeat= 15 ppg

This is under the number of 17 which does support your theory but with senior night and revenge factor should carry it over the number! Best of luck.

 

[alwatts]

Kojak, It also was suggested that a NC first half bet should be considered. I'll watch the game after the Michigan State game and maybe i'll do a 2nd half bet after i see what's going on with both teams. Good Luck!!!!!

[Kojak]

alwatts,

Best of luck to you as well and I might suggest looking at St. Joes thread as pretty overwhelming on St. Joes and over. gl.

 

[MNcapps]

I wish you the best of luck 2nite,seems were
opposite on alot.Probley not very good for me
since your pretty hot right now..Seems like alot
of pts for NC.I don't see alot of reason for
them to come out strong.Looking ahead to whats
next.They've proven to do that this year.
Never the less always wish you the best on your
plays..

 

[Kojak]

MN Capps,

Best of luck tonight as for UNC, major revenge game as Clemson played best game of season hitting several 3's earlier at home. GL.

 

[KICK17]

Kojak- I'm with you on the Heels. They will win big tonight. I also played them in the first half. Good Luck with your plays.
