1* Creighton -2 Creighton gets credit for surviving a really good Big East schedule. Better scoring options than SD St. They seem less in a celebratory mood than prep mode for this game. SD State will have a hard time coming down from Friday's win over Alabama.

I know this was your angle with Arkansas and it worked to your favor but this Aztec team is much more poised, experienced and not full of NBA talent led by a douchebag coach. A reporter that was in the SDSU locker room said it was more of a business as usual atmosphere and they were focused on the next hurdle. Arkansas was popping champagne bottles after their upset of KU. I've been following you for years and I know you haven't been sold on my Aztecs in both basketball and football but this is the year Fred! One game away from a beatable FAU and we can be in the National Championship game! I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN, I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!

Couldn't agree more. If they get beat by Creighton it won't be because of a let down. This team isn't built that way.

Good points. I have played on the Aztecs in basketball this season as they looked to be the best of the Mt. West. And the are a veteran team. However, Creighton comes from the more competitive conference as far as the top 5-6 teams. No matter how much a college team is business as usual, there can be some over-confidence and lingering effects that players don't acknowledge, but they are there. The line is small for a reason though. Should be a good game.

Playing on Texas-4 but not up to 1*. Like this Miami team, but have to wonder if they have a poor shooting game in them..and whether they are a little tired from that intense Houston game. On the other hand, Texas has coasted maybe too much. Disu likely out.

34-26, +10.89 units

1* Ohio St/ VT- under 140.5 NCAAW
This time I'll play a decent sized bet on a woman's game. OSU's top scorer, Taylor Mikesell is in obvious pain and might not play as much, nor as effectively. OSU also lost their 4th and 5th scorers earlier in the season to injury. Yet you can see how their defense stepped up to suffocate UConn. It led to a lot of turnovers and poor shots by UConn. VT has been very good defensively, ending up 1st in FG% allowed in the ACC, and 2nd in total defense. They can be physically intimidating.
*Half that bet on the 1H under 68.

I lost that in the first 2 minutes. On a 2 game losing streak, but only 2 units.

UAB getting steamed.

1.3* UNT -1.5 Wisconsin has really struggled to score vs. defenses like UNT has. Low total, really low. Just a feeling that Wisconsin kind of disappointed in their season, while UNT has a chip on their shoulder for not getting an invite to the NCAA Tournament. UNT only has one non-competitive loss, the 2nd game of the season to St. Mary's.

Perry didn't play in that game or else I believe it would have been a single digit outcome. With you on UNT. This total seems way too low... but maybe the over is too good to be true.

35-27, + 11.09 units going into Thursday.

1* UAB/ UNT- over 128 UAB seems to set the pace for all of their games. Both games this season between these 2 easily over this total. UAB can be a scoring machine, but can also play some crappy D. Utah Valley had a lot of easy goes to the basket, and open outside shots.

Still like the play

Didn't see that other game. Thanks Cheddar. I noticed that UAB shot 1-10 in the 63-52 game. And the 37 in OT says something. UAB makes a living going to the FT line, easily leading their conference in that. Still like this play.

You like anything for the women’s final 4.
36-27, +12.09 units. Every win and loss are extremely close.

I have Iowa +6.5 1H. They'll likely have a plan to get some good looks 1H before SC makes adjustments. Not up to a full unit play.
