Couple things real quick that I picked up.....

Once again Texas Fails to win because they don't have solid outside shooting, besides Abrams they don't have anything consistent, but the real problem is they miss Augustin bigtime, they don't have a true point guard, that is gonna hurt them.

Also What is the Deal with Wake Forest? This team looks like it's Sweet 16 Team Tops, They are gonna go out early in the tournament, seems they rely a little too much on Jeff Teague.

Blake Griffin without a Doubt, is the Player of the year and the best player in College Basketball, today reaffirmed it again for me, Guy is dead solid.....

Ucla is the best team in the Pac-10 once again and Washington is right behind them. Meanwhile Arizona State seems to be a little weak, not as good as we thought after back to back home losses.


Marquette is going to be very tough with those 3 senior guards, this team is one to watch out for.

IMO Uconn is the best team in the Country with Louisville right behind them , gonna be a great game Monday, Think I'm riding with the home team.........


Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Last time I invest with them......


That no matter how good you pick a game, u just never know, Case in Point Louisville today............Edgar Sosa hit your free throws!!!!!!


What you guys pickup today?

I wouldn't get so down on Wake Forest, they are a little young so they are gonna have some hiccups down the road, could still be a good bet for a f4 team.

Arizona is a force at home, and will continue to knock off teams with how well they work offensively and defensively wehn they want to

Mississippi can actaully play on the road

Oklahoma is poised for a road big12 upset

Kansas state must be doing something right as they take our Missouri and Texas on the road, I was fading them early in the year as they lose to Oregon (pathetic team) but now they are beating good teams

Missouri is insane at home and Baylor has been a huge letdown this year

Alabama is horrible

UCI is a sneaky team in the big west, stuck with long beach state (the class of the conference) the whole game, they will get a few more good wins at home with a young team

I learned that despite going 4-1 ATS for the day that
Kansas State is better than I thought, Texas was my only loss
and I"m glad they lost. I know most people here have bet a big favorite and then realized they weren't going to cover and then decided to hope that favorite loses outright,-Once I realized Texas wasn't covering I pulled for K-State to win SU

UCONN will be national champs is the lesson learned today.

Also, I learned VCU should have won by 24 instead of 4 if the refs weren't so intent on keeping the score within 5 1/2.
In the first half alone I saw passes thrown out of bounds, touched by nobody, called deflected out of bounds, double technicals on two players when only one was instigating, all ball rejections called contact fouls, and my personal favorite (and the announcers also) Hofstra guy (with 8 team fouls) fouling VCU guy on a rebound, and they call it off the ball foul, no free throws . :ohno:

Had a nice day myself, VCU was my only loss and I was on the right side in my belief.
Had VCU + 3 first 10 minutes second half, OU - 9 1/2 , UCONN -12, UCONN over 153 1/2.

Agree with you on Uconn , right now I think they are the Champs........Gonna come down to AJ Price tho can he lead them???? But they have all the tools to get it done

i learned nd had to be the most overrated team ever when the opening polls came out, o wait i already knew that.

have fun in the nit gody

i also learned that patty mills should be the player of the year but he has no chance at all, if hansborough was out for unc it would be nowhere near the loss that mills is for st marys.

I learned that it's never over until it's OVER!! .6 secs left in the Utah St game and i switch to UFC well the guy fron Fres St BANKS a 70 ft shot to put it into OT...They cover in OT w/Fres St missing 3 out 4 fts and 2 missed 3 pters at the buzzer....Cover by the Hook......Also was on Coll of Charleston and they score 2 pts in the first 19 mins...So I learned to NEVER bet them again.....They are now 0 for 7 ATS!!!

ucla impressed me. if they can score more like that, they're a final four team because there defense is solid.

right now i think you got about 10 potential ncaa champions.

oklahoma, pitt, louisville, marquette, gonzaga, ucla, uconn, duke, wake, nc, michigan state. zaga is a huge sleeper. everyone is down on them at the moment for a slow non conference but there legit.

It's a long road from the Holiday tournaments in December until the NCAA tournaments in March; a lot of "peaks and streeks" for these young ball players in between these time frames.

No doubt, some of the present top-ranked teams are going to be in the hunt for a slot in the final four (UNC,DUKE,PITT, UCONN, MARQUETTE, UCLA, WAKE etc.). Watch for a "sleeper" team; ah...the Cinderella team; there always seems to be one.

and I suppose the refs never fucked you before. I guess you don't read the papers much. Did you see the NBA ref that they caught and put on jail. Ignoramous' like you make me sick. You didn't watch the game , ut you still have something to say. You're probably a crooked ref yourself....LOSER
