I would strongly strongly strongly strongly suggest you look at not taking Ill Chicago against the Illini

STRONG STRONG STRONG

NOLIMITHOLDEM · Dec 30, 2003

Wizzah - Saw you posted against Chi-ILL in 2 separate spots. Any inside there?

Co-Captain · Dec 30, 2003

Aloha Kojak, and thanks for your kind words yesterday. It is guys like yourself and others who I can respect. In the face of defeat you show class. That is why I respond in any way I can to help others like yourself as much as I can , and as honestly as I can , with all that I have. GL with your picks today.

As far as Hawaii goes tonight, they did it again and made Hawaii a favorite in my eye of to much, but I will have to wait to see how the line moves. I expect that it will go down because Fairfield is a solid team, so I am thinking that alot are going to take the points. Well thats what I see the sports services writeups are doing. The only thing is that the Warriors is in their house in their tournament, and are rolling at this time . Especially their go to guy Mike Kuebler who had like 7 threes last night. That guy is super kool and tough. He goes out and just plays hard , he doesnt ever complain and he doesnt ever talk shit. Thats is why I like him. Last night, he got slammed with a deliberate foul , which the play from IUPUI got ejected. All Mike did was get up hit foul shots and lead the Warriors to a strong finish. If he is on, the team is on. So watch he stats cause it could be telling.

Hawaii in this tournament has pulled some big upsets and victories. I remember when 6 ranked Pitt came in and they got upset. Unreal. Anyway, they are up for this one. The fans are going wild, which is shocking to me seeing that these teams are not name teams. I think that it is from a series of events, stemming from out number two Lady Warrior Volleyball team losing in the semi finals for the title. And then from the Warriors winnning the Hawaii Bowl. Now with the Warriors BB team up on the year with a 6-2 record people are starting to get real excited , and tonight is for the tournament championship. The guys have a motivation to get this one because there is no other Warrior team to win the tournament 3 years in a row so the guys want to get it done and be the first. Still, I am not on it yet and may not be cause right now I think that the line is to high , going to see if I am wrong or right and see if it goes down. GL to you again, CC

Yea the inside is called..

Ill-Chi losing to Wisconsin Milwaukee

Illinois 75 Ill-Chi 61

Wizzah20 · Dec 30, 2003

The Illinois Chicago bunch are great scorers..WHEN THEY PLAY IN THE HORIZON LEAGUE Games. Illini will come out red hot and will not let this interstate rival beat them. Banks is Illinois Chicagos only real true threat.. and Armond Williams is shooting 56.1% from the field.

They have 0 luck against Illinois in the past 11 games except for one win..and that was YEARS ago.

With Illini playing tough defense. it is unlikely Illinois Chicago will get the 70+ points they need to win.

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

wizzah and edg,

Illinois Chicago might win this game outright. They have a quick point guard of their own in Bailey to match Dee Brown and enough balance scoring to keep Illini guessing. I live in Chicagoland area and know these teams very well. Weber is not familiar with this series and this might be UIC best team under Collins. UIC got caught looking ahead to this game in loss to Wisc-Milwaukee which is a mistake cause Panthers are one of the favorites again in the Horizon. Illini will be looking ahead here and shouldn't be!

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

co-captain,

Great analysis on Hawaii. I think it is too many points as well and will also wait till later but right now lean is on Fairfield. gl

I implore you not to take this game. or take Illinois

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

wizzah,

I respect your side but I am going to stand pat on my selection. I might be wrong but I feel like I have the right side in this one. Best of luck.

Railbird · Dec 30, 2003

LAdy Bow Volleyball team {35-1}had to be disappointed losing to the lower ranked Gators in the Semis, it was nice to see the Lady Trojans bring home the National Championship to Southern California where it belongs.

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

Railbird,

It was nice to see Lady Trojans get it back.

Co-Captain · Dec 30, 2003

hurt me more why dont you

CarolinaKid · Dec 30, 2003

Kojak just wanted to wish you the best tonite and hope you nail'em for winners....(ck)

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

Co Captain,

Not trying to hurt you but I was just glad to see USC women win. By the way, I have looked closer at Hawaii/Fairfield game and I believe Hawaii wins this game now by 20. Grab it now before line goes up.

Carolina Kid,

Best of luck to you on your picks tonight as well!

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

Get first win of the day with straight up Harvard victory. Record on day now 1-0. Several others off to good starts. Looks like the start to a great night.

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

Going into halftime of several games looking like a fantastic night with blowouts at half with Pitt,Kent St., Akron, and Applachian St. Morehead St. and Yale also looking good early.

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

Adding...

Utah St. -12 (win)

Santa Clara +7

Please take Tenn. Chatt instead and look at New Orleans.

Kojak · Dec 30, 2003

wizzah,

I have looked at these games and I am very confident. Do have any info to add besides betting them. I will be more than happy to look at what your info adds. Otherwise you should look at my early posts and see how well my night is going. Best of luck.
