MistaFlava's 2008-2009 CBB PS2 Picks: 5-1 ATS
Alright so I've had about enough of my own capping, can't get above 50% on the year and losing money faster than I would like so the last few weeks I have been playing around with the settings on the PS2 and I think I finally have it right.
My season record went like this: 90-93-4 ATS (+82.20 Units)
The simulations take into account injuries, style of play, starting 5 players, emotional factor in terms of a revenge game and all of that. The PS2 even has tournament mode which should be useful this upcoming week. I make the game the right length of time to simulate actual scores in games. You all know how much success I had doing this in NFL and CFB both earlier this past year and about 3-4 years ago in 2006 when the PS2 went on a 32-6 run at some point so why doubt it?
For the time being I will hand select games based on lines, importance of game, conference of play and availability (betting, TV, sports trackers).
You can't win every game using PS2 or other simulation machines but please understand that they are quite accurate because they provide an amazing feeling for a real life matchup. So much detail is put into these games and the style of play of different teams.
***IF YOU HAVE A REQUEST FOR ME TO SIMULATE A GAME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SET IT UP AND RUN (takes about 45 minutes for each game)
You can tail, you can fade or you can just watch. I have always been a streaky capper. Good Luck to all this week!

FACTS & STATS: Site: McKenzie Arena (11,218) -- Chattanooga, Tennessee. Television: ESPN. Home Record: Charleston 12-4, Chattanooga 12-3. Away Record: Charleston 11-3, Chattanooga 5-10. Neutral Record: Charleston 3-0, Chattanooga 0-3. Conference Record: Charleston 15-5, Chattanooga 11-9. Series Record: Charleston leads, 12-9.
GAME NOTES: In a surprising turn of events the title matchup in the Southern Conference Tournament will pit the College of Charleston Cougars against the Chattanooga Mocs this evening at the McKenzie Arena.
For the first time since the 2005 tournament a team other than Davidson will claim the championship in the Southern Conference. On Sunday, the Cougars did the unthinkable, knocking off Stephen Curry and the Davidson Wildcats, 59-52, to move into the SoCon championship game for the first time since 2007 when Charleston was defeated by Davidson for the title. The Cougars, who have won eight straight games, opened this event with a 69-56 victory over UNC Greensboro, and followed that win with a 67-48 decision over Western Carolina in the quarterfinal round.
As for the Mocs, they are one victory away from grabbing their 10th Southern Conference title. Chattanooga earned a first-round bye this season, then took care of business in the quarterfinals, getting by Elon, 79-78. Chattanooga grabbed its 48th all-time victory in this event with an 81-70 decision over Samford in the semifinal round.
The Cougars own a 12-9 edge over Chattanooga in the all-time series and that includes an 86-77 decision over the Mocs earlier this season at McKenzie Arena.
The Cougars are known for their offensive play, but it was the team's efforts at the defensive end of the floor that propelled College of Charleston into the SoCon final. Charleston held Davidson to a meager 31.6 percent shooting effort, and limited All-American Stephen Curry to just 5-of-18 shoots from the floor. In Charleston's two victories over Davidson this year, the Cougars held Curry to just 12-of-41 shooting from the floor. At the other end of the court on Sunday, the Cougars did just enough to grab the win. Charleston shot a mere 32.8 percent from the floor and relied heavily on Tony White Jr, who scored 17 points. Donavan Monroe and Andrew Goudelock added 13 and 12 points, respectively, while Dustin Scott grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds. Goudelock has been the main source of production on the season for Charleston as the guard is posting 16.5 ppg. As for White, he is contributing 11.1 ppg, to go along with a team-best 91 assists. As a whole, the Cougars come into this matchup averaging a very strong 77.2 ppg, which is second best in the conference.
The Mocs have also done a tremendous job at the offensive end of the court this season and come into this game averaging 76.7 ppg, behind a healthy 44.4 percent shooting effort. Stephen McDowell is currently leading the team with 18.7 ppg, while Nicchaeus Doaks and Kevin Goffney have dominated the paint. Doaks, who is leading the team with 8.8 rpg and 34 blocks, is contributing 14.1 ppg, while Goffney is posting 13.4 ppg, to go along with 6.9 rpg. The Mocs' strong offensive play continued in their recent win over Samford, as the team shot 48.1 percent from the floor and made 12-of-25 attempts from long range. Chattanooga also dominated the glass by a 40-19 margin and that included a 15-3 edge on the offensive end of the floor. McDowell exploded for 32 points in the win, while Goffney added 13 points, to go along with six boards. Ty Patterson tallied 10 points off the bench, while Khalil Hartwell posted nine points and a team-high eight rebounds.
This should be an exciting, high-scoring affair. The Mocs have played tough in this tournament, but have yet to really take apart an opponent. As for the Cougars, they just defeated Davidson and should have an advantage with that huge win under their belts.
