Aloha Gang! Well yesterday was a positive one for us, as we broke out of that slump we were in with a 4W-2L= +9 Unit Day. Today we look to continue this type of thing. So far for the week the record is 6W-10L-1P= -16 Units. Were still in the negative for the week, but I am hoping like I mentioned to change that for all of us. We have a Big card today, but one which I have found alot of great situations to take advantage of. So Lets Go Get Em!
**6 Unit Plays on:
ILLINOIS -4 - Can you say PAYBACK TIME! Ill 11-1 at home, averaging 80 ppg and 48% from the field to opponents 59.2 ppg. Home team won last 10 in the series. Wisc not good on the road and Ill good at home, enough said. BTW, it has been requested by school officials that the fans dress again in all Orange, for an unofficial Paint the Hall Orange Night, which is an annual event that represents the schools Big Game. Ill last Paint the Hall Orange Night resulted in a blowout 76-51 win over Mich St last Tuesday. Though this one is an unofficial one, it should still provide for another strong HCA for the Illiani tonight. (WINNER-by 8pts)
WICHITA ST -1.5- Shockers are a very HOT team right now. They have been simply blowing out teams, so this low line seems to be more in disrespect than it is a reflection of their talent. Take the Gift.(LOSE SU BY 5pts)
LSU -6 (buy .5pt)- The Tigers 11-1 at home scoring 72 ppg and 49% shooting from the field, vs opponents 60 ppg. Auburn lost its last 8 vs the number. They are also 0-6 on the road this year, averaging ONLY 56.7 ppg and 39% from the field.(LOSE SU)
**4 Unit Plays on:
Austin Peay -2.5-AP is another HOT team right now. Thus I aint jumping off them, especially with that #1 Defense of theirs that is the reason for their success this year. Just look at how they shut down that Awesome Murray St Off in their last game. (WINNER-by 22pts)
DREXEL -4-Alot of things on the line for the Dragons, Revenge is just one of them. 1St place in the Colonial Athletic Association is also on the line. HCA+REV FAC+1ST Pl= BIG DRAGON ADVANTAGE. (WINNER- by 16pts)
DUKE -3-Dont lose faith in this team just yet, they just ran into a very HOT NC St team on the road so odds were not in their favor. But, they still are number 1 to me, and WF is not in their caliber even at Winston Salem. If almost all were taking Cincy over WF in Wake's last game at -4.5. Do you think that they will take Duke -3 vs WF today. HELL YEAH, and so will I.
**3 Unit Plays on:
CINCY -3-Don't count the Bearcats out yet. They did play well on the road against WF and X, and them two are better than this UAB team. UAB good at home, but they are in a position for the Conf title, which they are NOT use to being in. Cincy is a veteran in this spot and knows how to Win Titles, especially in spots like these which they must win. Plus, Bearcats are 7 of 7 vs UAB.
ALABAMA -2.5-Bama 10-2 at home, Vandy 2-5 on the road. Vandy also is 0-5 in SEC road games losing all 5 by 7pts or more. (LOSE SU)
IOWA -2.5-Hawkeyes simply a better team, while State is not so dominant at home as their 7-5 record shows. Columbus this year not so dangerous as in the past.(WINNER-by 11pts)
TEXAS TECH +2-Coach Knight not a happy man, as he feels his team is not playing well, especially in its guard play. Knight knows how to motivate his guys, as well as insult them. In this case, I think Emmett will take it as both. But with this being said to a National audience, I will say that this years favorite for the Big 12 player of the year honors, will use it to have a big game. Not good for a Colorado team that has no one really to stop or match his play.(LOSE-by 10pts)
**Ok Gang, I know its a Big card, but have you ever awoken full of energy and with a clear mind. Well today I did and these not only look right, they felt right as well. I cannot deny this situation as they dont come about that often. I hope that we all have a very successful and fun day today. Life is short so lets make the most of it. Good luck to all and Aloha Co-Captain.
