Still here. Disagree, dispute, but stay on basketball...and don't troll the thread just to aggravate people. In fact, the women's bet on the under UCLA/ Oklahoma lost while those that bet just on the Bruin women won. They disagreed, cool.

Thanks to Hache or the mods for giving RW a little time off. (or a lot)

26-23, +.16 units going into Thursday.

Wish I hadn't played those NIT/ CBI games last weekend. So just leans today. Fun bets.

EKU/ Charlotte- over 133 A little fatigue might set in here 2nd half. Both have opposite styles, but I think Charlotte can take advantage of EKU defense and will push the ball a bit.

UC Even (or +1) UC has played well on the road vs. tough opponents like Memphis and Houston. Great rebounding team. Utah Valley gets home crowd, but a little soft on D.

If you are watching any of the 3 games, sometimes the live bets are the best plays. GL>

We'll keep it under control Fred

Give us a little time if it's not addressed immediately and report posts if you can to help us find them

We have a massive group of members here (some who only read and dont post) who are excellent at reporting posts pertaining to the troublemakers

There's about 4-5 of them

All of whom have been reprimanded or banned in the past, I allowed back to give another chance, they don't acknowledge or appreciate it, and slowly go back to their old ways

2.5* UConn -4 After watching UConn play in the NCAA Tournament, and in the Big East Tourney, I'm impressed. They could go get to the final game, and even win it. Great inside game, shooters, and a defense that has stepped it up in recent weeks. Arkansas has the NBA prospects, but as we've seen in past games over the years, that often doesn't make a championship-type tournament TEAM. Arkansas a little too much showboating, and knocking off Kansas...well, that feels like the mountaintop already.

2.1* Kansas State +1.5 Both they and MSU play the game the right way, like junkyard dogs. Yet so many kudos have gone to the Izzo-led Spartans that some might have forgotten how mediocre they can shoot at times, and how sloppy they can get. MSU has a great team in 2018-2019, but in the the last few years, they've been just average in big games. Going against the more hyped team here ;going with the Big 12-hardened team that can harass this MSU offense relentlessly.

1.8* FAU +5.5 FAU is not really sneaking into a sweet 16 game without proving themselves. They move off the ball well, can score under defensive pressure, and have that team concept you gotta love. Just beating Memphis says something. They did have a fairly soft non-conference schedule, but games vs. UAB, UNT...among others, showed their toughness. Zeigler will be missed for the Vols, and Rick Barnes' teams in the past have blown games just like this too many times.

1.5* Gonzaga +1.5 Can't believe I'm playing the Zags, a team that has consistently been disappointing in the past tournaments. However, UCLA's injuries are a problem. They really go only about 7 deep, and could be down 3 of those players vs. Gonzaga. Clark, the defensive stud is out for sure. Bona re-aggravated his shoulder last game. Singleton will play on an ankle sprain, but not at 100%. He and Bona might play, but not finish. Gonzaga will never be a solid D team, but if their offense plays like it has so far since crushing St. Mary's in the conference final- then they can win.

Lines haven't hardly budged since yesterday. Kind of surprised considering how much money is riding on these games.

Nowell is the man. Put on a point guard clinic. However, the game could have gone either way. Have to admire both teams.

What an epic classic game! Nowell is a baller that guy is in such control of the game. He took maybe 2-3 bad long 3’s but other than that he played a great game. I was worried when he turned his ankle. Glad he was able to gut it out

Games like that are what make March Madness the best event in sports. Nowell's ankle didn't seem to slow him down much.

UConn dominated. So efficient on offense.

You're welcome. GL today.

1* SD State/ Alabama- under 64 1H SD State is a little like Maryland, Alabama's last opponent. That half was far under 64, and was an example of how good Bama is on defense. (Maryland too) The Aztecs will try and slow this game down, and will get back on defense in transition. SD State has a senior-laden team and while I'd like to play them, Alabama can be scary good at times.

Still looking at the other 3. Will post later.
