oldmanted,

I like all of your plays. The only one I would strongly suggest a no play on though I like your side is Missouri.Everything looks like a play but with this being my team, I can say with complete honesty that it would not surprise me to see them lay a big egg in this one. Two years ago, Final 8 team with same players plus Gilbert and Rush came down here and got spanked by 20+. TT is desperate as well. I think you will probably win this game but I think this is a funny line and going in opposite direction I would have expected. I really hope you win this bet but I think it is a big no play. You are better off waiting to unload on Missouri vs Kansas over the weekend which is GOY play for me with revenge,senior day, closing of Hearnes Center, and likely at large berth at stake. Best of luck.

Thank you for the well wishes. Not concerned about last night's results as it could have just as easily been 2-1 had Davis not cramped up near the end of regulation. Feeling here is that at the point where he cramped up, the Spartans were taking control of the game and I don't believe the game would have ever gone to overtime. Once it did, and with Davis unable to go, I knew we were in trouble. But that is all part of sports wagering. The capping was good, except for Providence, and it's just one play at 1% on my bankroll. Today is a new day. Wins and losses. We treat them both the same and manage our bankroll.

See that you have started your own selection thread and already taking some flack. Hang in there if you can. Ignore anyone that you don't wish to respond too. I want to wish you the very best of luck and success with your posting and your plays.

Kojak:

Glad you like my plays. I know how familiar you are with Missouri and respect your knowledge of the Tigers. I have followed them very closely as well and have had the up and down ride along with them. When the line opened at +3, the play was more difficult for me. As it has move to +4.5, I think there is value with a team that is clearly on a winning streak and driving to try and secure a birth in the NCAA tournament. Talent wise, they match up very well with Texas Tech and are actually better all around. I really feel they are beginning to play to their preseason expectations. Tech is a very good team at home but don't strike me as a team playing consistently. They did surprise me how well they played at Texas this past weekend however. They really rely on Emmitt too much and with Missouri's balance inside and out, I think this is a close game, if not an outright win for the Tigers. Taking +4.5 in a spot where I see a talented and motivated team is reasonable for me. Thoughts that I wanted to share. Best of luck to you today with your plays.

Oldman-Good luck on your plays hope you do well, mind if I call you Dziadziu-that's grandfather in the polish tongue!

Kapusta:

My father immigrated from Lutz in 1919, thus I am a first generation born American. Looks like we may have more in common then we realized. You may call me whatever you wish. Dziadziu. I like it! Best of luck to you today.
