<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p>Loyola Marymount +7 over SAN DIEGO

We get a very sweet price here on the Lions due to the teams recent struggles that’s seen them lose five of their past six games. It started with a home loss to these same Toreros back on Jan. 9 and continued with losses to Gonzaga, Portland, Santa Clara and St. Mary’s. The timing was not very good for the Lions, however, Gonzaga, St. Mary’s and Santa Clara are a combined 16-4 in the conference and sit 1-2-3 in the standings. The Lions responded with a blowout win in their last start at home over Pepperdine and there’s a very good chance that momentum will carry over here. The reason is as follows: after playing without three starters last weekend against Santa Clara and Saint Mary's, the Lions earned a big boost with the return of two of them to the line-up. Sophomores Daryl Pegram and Brandon Worthy provided a big spark for the Lions in their return on Saturday, coming off the bench in the win. Pegram, who missed two games with a left knee injury, played 17 minutes to score nine points with eight rebounds, tied for the game high with teammate Matthew Knight. Worthy returned for the first time after missing nine games due to knee surgery on Dec. 29. With Worthy and Pegram both in the line-up the Lions improved to 8-3 on the season. Worthy's impact has been great in his return to the Lions this season after missing all of last year on a medical redshirt with a broken wrist in his shooting hand. With Worthy in the line-up, the Lions are 5-1 and average 74.5 points per game while allowing just 66.7. It’s no coincidence that as soon as Pegram and Worthy returned the Lions won by 17 points. The Lions have played three ranked teams this year, a two-point loss at West Virginia (then No. 25), just a seven-point loss to No. 13 Washington and lastly, an 11-point loss to Gonzaga minus Pegram and Worthy. Meanwhile, the Toreros haven’t beaten or come close to beating a single notable team all year. Among their losses is a 16-point loss to Pepperdine, a nine-point loss at Texas Arlington, a 20 point defeat at San Diego St and their past three games all by double-digits. Perception is everything and we trust that this line in inflated due to that perception that has the Lions the inferior squad here when in fact, they’re not. LMU is healthy again and with that convincing win over Pepperdine, the whole team has got to be feeling pretty good about its chances tonight, so do we. Play: Loyola Marymount +7 (Risking 1.65 units to win 1.5).

Line Is Down To -5

What do you think about this Sherwood? Is it still a value?

Thanks

Sherwood...

Love your write-ups since they are both informative and entertaining.
I have no feel for the SanDiego/Loyola Marymount game to night but I would like to point out one thing to you.

San Diego is on a 3-game losing streak but those losses also came at the hands of Gonzaga, St. Mary's and Santa Clara and they did beat Portland for their last win 4 games ago by 30. Just food for thought.

You are doing a great job.

I see that the line has dropped. I bet it early at +7 but I'd still play it at +5.
I like the Lions outright and may play it that way too.

Nice Analysis...

Sherwood,
No doubt your analysis is obviously well thought out. The word "we" is included a lot in your game analysis though which leads me to believe you are cutting and pasting someone else's comments. I of course don't have a problem with this, but just thought it was curious. I was almost convinced by you yesterday to lay off of UConn, but since I got them at -4, I was lucky I didn't it. Anyway, main point here is that the news about Avi Fogel is not necessarily that relevant:

Avg pts/g: 6.9
Rebounds: 2
Assts: 3

He isn't exactly the star of this team. With G. Worthy in the lineup this will be a tough game, but I am going with SD (8-2 ATS prior to Jan 26). Good luck to all tonight.

Sherwood, "your analysis" is a straight rip off from the "Sportswagers.ca featuring Randle the Handle" website. It's a free site, but you should still give credit when copying it word for word as you have been doing.

not trying to be a d!ck, that loss was at Virginia not WV, although Va was ranked early in the year before they fell apart in the ACC

Okay boys, just to set the record straight for the 100th time.
I don't work for sportswagers, I own, operate and run it. In fact, the site itself has been running for close to four years when I started it back than.

I was writing for a couple of magazines at the time and was able to get some good exposure through the mags. That allowed me to attract a certain amount of following and it has just snowballed ever since. I was doing all the work myself, seven days a week and about seven months ago I hooked up with Randle the Handle. Handle has a syndicated radio show called "inside the lines" that is heard on www.fan590 in Toronto and throughout the country.
Randall also sets the Vegas lines for CFL and writes NFL picks for the Sunday Sun newspaper. He now helps me when I can't do the site or when I feel a bit burned out. However, all the write-ups are mine, each and every word and Randle and I consult with each other every weekend for the NFL picks.

So, I don't work for sportswagers.ca and I'm not plagurizing anyone.
If you want or need proof you can email Randall directly and he'll gladly answer you. His email address is on the site.

I appreciate the concern and take no offense to anyone's accusations. I can't stand touts that charge for picks as I believe them all to be scams with not even one exception. That was my motivation for starting the site and I never expected it to get as big as it did as far as hits per day.

Anyway, enough of that. That's my story.

Any newbie (or anyone who wants some valuable free advice) should check out his site and read the "Touts Exposed" section - well written stuff there. Even though no one here at Rx is charging for picks, good advice just when looking at other people's picks

Seriously...

A WORTHY AFFECT
After playing without three starters last weekend against Santa Clara and Saint Mary's, the Lions earned a big boost with the return of two of them to the line-up. Sophomores Daryl Pegram and Brandon Worthy provided a big spark for the Lions in their return on Saturday, coming off the bench in the win. Pegram, who missed two games with a left knee injury, played 17 minutes to score nine points with eight rebounds, tied for the game high with teammate Matthew Knight. Worthy returned for the first time after missing nine games due to knee surgery on Dec. 29. With Worthy and Pegram both in the line-up the Lions improved to 8-3 on the season. Worthy's impact has been great in his return to the Lions this season after missing all of last year on a medical redshirt with a broke wrist in his shooting hand. With Worthy in the line-up, the Lions are 5-1 at home and average 74.5 points per game while allowing just 66.7. From the field they have held opponents to 42.2 percent from the field and 36.3 from the three point line while averaging nine steals per game. Offensively they are shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 40.3 from the three-point line

Compare the above to Sherwood's "original" analysis. I guess he is so good that the Loyola Marymount Athletic dept chose to publish his work on their website. Not only did you call this game wrong, but you plagarized your analysis from a school website and then came on to tell us how you wrote "every" word. Dude, I don't care what you publish on here, but don't use someone else's article and then claim it as your own. Not only that, you are misleading people on this board looking for "bettor's" analysis of a game, not the analysis of some college journalist writing for his school website. Keep it real folks.

Very tired of hearing this crap over and over again. Just because a pick is a miss doesn´t mean it was a bad call. If you have a huge 60% chanse to make it you still miss it 4 times out of 10. Even when you look at the game/stats you can´t say if something is a bad call. There is usually a very real possibility that either team has bad day (bad shooting, not showing up etc.) Only a long time record tells if somebody is a good capper or not so good. This season has certainly been very good for Sherwood. I´d be interested to know how he´s done in previous years. Keep up the good work Sherwood!
