Aloha Gang. Well yesterday we bounced back from that disappointing Friday we had posting a solid 7W-4L= + 11 Units. So far for the week combined my record still stands at a profitable 29W-24L= +15 Units. This is the last day of the week and I am bent set on making sure that I end it on a positive note, as I go for my 8th consecutive winning week. Today I am focused, lets hope the teams I am backing are as well. Lets Rock-N-Roll Baby!
**Top 6 Unit Plays on:
NC STATE -3 (buy .5pt)(LOSE SU-after up by DDs, DAM!)
-Ok, I picked up this stats from another source. NC St went 9-6 SU vs the Top 30 teams in the country and 3-1 against the Top 10, including a SU win over Duke who was on Top at the time. Vandy, on the other hand, went just 3-6 SU against Top 30 teams. This tells me alot especially now that they are facing this Top 15 team in the land. NC St has other advantages over Vandy, and one is that they are the best FT shooting team in the land, averaging just under 80%. They also will have a decided edge if G Scooter Sherill plays, as he not only bring his leadership to the floor, but also his stout defensive play. His status for today will be a gametime decision, but this one is to important in order to get to the Sweet 16, so I am expecting him to play. Vandy may be bigger, but NC St is better, especially if Scooter returns. If not, then we are in trouble big time. Nah, just joking. NC ST should gets this one with or without him today.
Miss ST/Xavier OVER 138(WINNER EZ-TOT 163)
-I am staying away from this one on the side play, as Xavier is a very HOT team that has covered the spread 15 of their last 16 games since the end of Jan. Then their is Miss St who is not overrated, but may be untested playing in the SEC. In their 1st meeting, their total points combined for 152pts. Also Miss St's last 10 games have gone OVER the total. Xavier as well have seen their last 6 of 8 games go OVER the posted number. I am seeing this one with alot of scoring, especially from downtown. Take the OVER.
**4 Unit Plays on:
Pitt +1(WINNER SU-by 5pts)
-Funny how Pitt is a 5-1 favorite to win it all, yet Wisc is a hefty 20-25 to 1 favorite to get it done. Wow, seems like Pitt should be giving the points here. Only thing is this is like a home game for Wisc who saw over 18,000 faithful help them to rally and beat Richmond after being down by DDs. Still, it is this fact of being down by DDs to the Spiders that is telling me that if this happens against this Pitt squad, they are in big trouble. Why? Because Pitt plays much better defense than does Richmond. In fact, eventhough some may say that they struggled which they did Offensively vs Central Florida, it was their very stingy defense that came up big for them again, holding them to just 44pts total in that game. Wisconsin, isnt anything special on Offensive except for Devin Harris. Wisconsin Offensively only has three players that average in the DDs, whereas Pitt has 5 players who average DDs in scoring. Two good Defenses face off here, but Pitt to me has more balanced attack and that should be the difference. HCA for Wisconsin, but Pitt is a battle tested team who is used to playing at dangerous venues, ex Uconn, ND, Prov, and Syracuse.
Oklahoma St -6 (buy .5pt)(WINNER-by 17pts)
-Cowboys are 18-1 SU and 11-8 ATS in their last 19 games. The Cowboys and Tigers are similar in stats, with Okie St holding a slight edge in most categorys, but its here in FG% where the Cowboys has the big edge as they are shooting 51.4% compared to Memphis 42.1%. Against SC Memphis shot lights out, especially Rodney Carney who averaged 50% from 3pt land draining 6 of 12. But Ok ST is a team who plays great defense especially in preventing long range bombs. This season, Ok St has only allowed opponents to shoot alittle over 30% from down town, and just 18.8% while playing on a neutral courts.
Illinois +1.5 (WINNER-by 24pts)
-The Key to this one will be in the guard play. Between these two, Ill will have a huge advantage in size and in leadership over Cincy. Ill's backcourt of Barnes and Williams is very potent and solid as they come. Plus, Ill knows this court in Columbus as it is here that they played Ohio St winning which gave them the regular season Conf Championship.
**OK Gang the writeups are short and they suck alitle, as I wasnt sure if the site was going to be affected or not and thus, I didnt put my best efforts forward in producing them. Still, the plays are very solid to me and should produce a solid day. So lets SWEEP EM, and show the Man no Mercy. Fvck him! Good Luck to All and keep it positive and only positive will come. Aloha Co-Captain.
