[Matt24]

Regseason: 58-52
NIT: 0-2
NCAA: 0-0

Here is everything that I am looking at right now, if anybody has any stats and stuff on these games let me know, moreso on the totals. Thanks

NC CHARLOTTE +2
TT/UNCC UNDER 145
SH/ZONA UNDER 154
ALABAMA STATE +34
MANHATTAN +5.5 # already moved way against me, doubt I end up playing this
WF/VCU UNDER 149
TEXAS/PRINCETON OVER 119
BYU +2
UTEP +7
UTEP UNDER 149
ALABAMA -2
MICH ST -2 (I didn't really like this at first, but everybody seems to be all over Nevada)
VALPO/GONZA UNDER 147

13 plays that I like, hopefully get this down somewhat, 8 early, 5 late.

I'm not a big totals guy but I like your sides. Especially Charlotte. The Zona/Shu game may go over if Zona dictates the pace there. They always play no D so if SHU can stop the break or at least neutralize it a little that will go under. I'd be careful on that one.

i watched the valpo game vs duke, then watched them against whoever their championship game was vs. anyway their defense is just terriable, the zags should score the high 80s to mid 90s'.

duke could of put up 100 easy if they would of tried towards the end.

and valpo should score in the mid 60's. really like the over. but a long layoff by the zags may cause some concern.

good luck matt.

 

[Matt24]

Yeah but the last few Zag games I watched they couldnt score against crap teams like Valpo.

Also I saw your post about Michigan, actually Michigan is probably the most athletic team(They also might be the most talented) in the Big 10, they are just the dumbest idiot basketball players EVER. LOL

theres a great story on covers about the nevada players just scorching the michigan state team as not being very good. msu players are pissed. i was on nevada too but ive lost by blowing off storys on covers before.im on the spartans now.

 

[Matt24]

Wow, thats some stupid stuff to say. Have to love that, Nevada taking MSU lightly? Thats a laugher.

 

[truelyhandicapping]

yea mich proved to have some good athletes, but i meant that mizzou has better athletes in th basketball sense, not just being able to jump 42 inches straight up.

next year michigan is going to be outstanding, simms and hunter. abraham and horton, wow.

but i am a homer.

i don't think they are that dumn, i just think they are that young. big difference.

boy how good would michigan or state be if paulding and johnson stayed home.

 

[Matt24]

Well here is what I think I am going with early. I am on an 11 day losing streak, it is great, so much fun. 3 years ago I had a 17 day winning streak, that was a little better. Hopefully Thursday starts a nice weekend, I might just have to take off the rest of the year if I lose today. Should I mention I am now 2-15 in my last 17 games decided in the last 5 minutes. This is so much fun!

CHARLOTTE +1.5
BYU +2
UTEP +7
ALABAMA -3

I'm thinking 4-0 to start out... I wish.

hey matt if you are utep thurs, you gotta go with nevada also. nevada beat utep by 30, and beat them in the tourney.

maryland is playing much better than state, and probably is better than state.

take maryland and give a 7, it's going to be ugly.

 

[jaypaw]

matt - you didnt like MSU originally?

I thought you were saying that you did?

Or was it just against gonzaga that you liked them?

 

[Matt24]

I wasnt planning on playing MSU in round 1 but everybody is all over Nevada, that I just may go ahead, because I think MSU will win. And yes if they are getting 7 or more(Sagarin has 9) in round 2, I am on MSU against Gonzaga if the game happens.

I think Maryland's FT shooting is going to bite them in the ass sometime and it may be today.

 

[MGMan]

Matt,

WF has not played a game all yr under this total. They will dictate the tempo and I have it as my 5* total of the NCAA's.

Good luck,

MG Man

 

[Matt24]

I hate being on teams that play like complete morons, i.e. Charlotte.

tied with under 4 minutes, if they blow this........

 

[Matt24]

well got a win with UTEP, but would have loved to see Maryland go down.

 

[Kojak]

I hope you turn it around today. I am with you on BYU and like your side on Bama. Best of luck.

 

[ChadC]

To bad the Cincinatti Bengals aren't in the Tourney, you'd be touting them every week

Good luck with your picks though, I like MSU as well.

 

[Matt24]

Chad- That was a joke wasn't it? Because you and I both know I was 4-1 with the Bengals this year and all 4 of those victories the Bengals won outright as dogs of at least 3 points.

 

[ChadC]

Joke, down killer.... Good luck with March Madness. Howard Stern said it best this morning when he called March Madness a gambling man's wet dream.
