Well I have been dormant for quite some time now and I decided that, since I have some free time the next few weeks, I am going to post my plays for the rest of the tournaments. What I've done so far this year unposted is irrelevant so I'm not even going to address it. Feel free to comment away and add any info you may have. Also, I would like to Thank the regular posters on this site for your hard work and dedication to helping the rest of us out. Eventhough most people on here give y'all a bunch of hell, there are those of us who really appreciate it.


First up:

3/25/2014

Belmont +7.5 vs. Clemson (3.3 to win 3)
*In the under tournaments I always look for teams that are excited to play and those that feel snubbed from the big dance. I think we have that situation here. Belmont is a very strong free throw shooting team and they hit well from the arc. Clemson does have a stout defense though and I think this one will stay fairly low scoring which will keep it within the number. I can't see Clemson winning by more than 2 or 3 points.

SMU vs. Minnesota over 136.5 (2.2 to win 2)
*This one smells of a shoot out to me. Both teams are capable of pouring on the points and I think SMU has allot to prove to themselves and to the fans and will be on their game. The only way they can keep up with Minnesota is by pushing the pace which will lead to turnovers and 2nd chance opportunities. I'm not a huge fan of either team but I think the number is low enough to warrant a shot at it.


Will have more plays tomorrow and for the rest of the tourney. Thank you for anyone who happens upon my thread and once again I encourage you to leave helpful comments.

I know you meant Southern Mississippi but SMU is the abbreviation for Southern Methodist.

Haha! Just realized I did that. My apologies. I will make sure and proofread my post for now on.

Neways..

2-0 on the night and +5 units is a good way to start.

There are some good watchable games on tonight!

Siena vs. Illinois St. over 133.5 (2.2 to win 2)
Both teams push the tempo and I think this one soars over the total.

California +8.5 vs. SMU (2.2 to win 2)
California has a good shot of winning this one straight up. Another team that feels down for being snubbed out of the dance that they should have been in. SMU is by far the better team but will their heads be in it? It's worth a shot.

VMI +9 vs. Ohio (2.2 to win 2)
How can you not love getting 9 points on a team that can score like VMI? Too much value to overlook on this one.

San Diego +3.5 vs. Pacific (2.2 to win 2)
There is allot of love for Pacific all over the place tonight and I can't understand why. San Diego plays a good tempo and rebounds well. I think Pacific will control the pace early but will flutter in the end and San Diego pulls out the upset.

Columbia -2.5 1st half vs. Yale (1.1 to win 1)
I think Columbia explodes in the first half in this one. The total game number is right on in my opinion so I'm going to play it where I see the value.


And a bonus NBA play: Boston vs. Toronto under 196.5 2*

Good luck to everyone tonight and once again, thank you for looking and feel free to share.

Just a comment on your SMU vs. California analysis. If you watched the SMU vs. LSU game you couldn't help but notice that Larry Brown has given that program an energy and enthusiasm. Both of their home NIT games have been sellouts. Nick Moore will be one of the best point guards Cal has faced this year and I'd be more concerned as to whether Cal brings it than SMU. SMU wants to go to Madison Square Garden and I don't believe Cal can hang with them. My two cents worth ... bol.

5-2 +5.6 units

Gonna get myself in trouble with total plays tonight... no time for my thoughts on these, busy as hell right now trying to get ready for a garage sale (shoot me) and an open house on Sunday. Gotta love the process of selling all your stuff after a divorce.

Dayton Vs. Stanford Over 133 (2.2 to win 2)

Baylor +4 Vs. Wisconsin (3.3 to win 3)

Florida Vs. UCLA under 138.5 (2.2 to win 2)

Arizona Vs. San Diego St. over 121.5 (2.2 to win 2)

San Diego St. +4.5 1st half vs. Arizona (1.1 to win 1)

Murray St. -4.5 Vs. Towson (4.4 to win 4)

That's it for tonight! Good Luck everyone!

There are some tough games tonight. I am really looking forward to watching these.

UCONN Vs. Iowa St. Under 148 (2.2 to win 2)
I think Uconn controls the pace and slows Iowa St. down. I don't think they can win if they try to match buckets. I like Iowa St. to win this one but I'm staying off the side.

Tennessee +1.5 1st half Vs. Michigan (2.2 to win 2)
Tennessee has all the mojo right now and they will stick it to Michigan in the first half. Now, the whole game? That's a different story, too hard to tell so I'll stick to the value.

Michigan St. Vs. Virginia Over 129 (2.2 to win 2)
This one seems the makings for a shoot out. I may just be taking the bait on this one but all arrows point to a 150 to 160 total.

Louisville -5 Vs. Kentucky (1.1 to win 1)
This play is strictly because I hate Kentucky. I think they are overrated and they got allot of lucky breaks and an easy bracket. The only reason I'm not playing larger is because Louisville scares me just as much. haha.

Good Luck tonight everyone!

What a terrible night last night going 0-4..

Updated Record: 9 - 8 +1.4 Units

uggh.. neways, on to today!

03/29/2014

Dayton +11 Vs. Florida (4.4 to win 4)
I believe Dayton continues to impress today. Even if Florida does win this one I don't see how they are going to cover the spread. They just don't have enough firepower of their own to do it. This game is decided by 2 to 3 points IMO.

Wisconsin +3.5 Vs. Arizona (2.2 to win 2)
I believe Wisky wins this one straight up but I will take the points cause.. well.. I'm a pansy. haha.

Good Luck tonight everyone!

Another good night to make up for that horrible day.

Updated Record: 11 - 8 +7.4 Units

Uconn +6 Vs. Michigan St. (2.2 to win 2)
Michigan St. is still getting too much love. I think this one comes down to the wire and could go either way.

Uconn Vs. Michigan St. over 138.5 (2.2 to win 2)

Kentucky Vs. Michigan under 141.5 (1.1 to win 1)

Good luck to everyone today!
