🤢🥴_ Fubah's 2023 Hoops Thread _😲🥵

Princeton has scored (when ball in play) 17x......MO just 12x

Princeton owns the boards too it seems....

Unfortunately for ARK, Harris just earned his 4th foul with a clear grab.....but luckily for ARK  they miss a FT

I was 16 - 2 with my *Best Bets since returning from our Hawaii retreat but fouls to KU big men early in the 2H cost a 12 pt lead,  and a loss.  Oh well.  Onward....

Really glad I did not bet on the overpriced line on Missouri.......saved myself a loser

But still bummed I overslept this morning and missed my Vandy and SDSU bets.....

Hoping that unusually early foul trouble won't kill another good bet consecutively.....but we will see

LIVE ACTION BET:  Houston -190   (down only 2 after 12 - 4 run to start 2H)

.....and of course, right after I post that, Houston star player with 17 pts, heads to the bench with 4 fouls and full 11 mins left.......LUCKY Auburn....

BONA is going to give it a go for Bruins with a questionable shoulder.......we shall see how well he performs....

Not looking good for the #1 seed Cougars, now tith 2 starters carrying 4 fouls each....esp Sasser the leading scorer in the game

Gotta hand it to the Houston bench meeting the moment out there. Still time but playing well. 

"I may be climbing on rainbows,  But baby here goes..."

Crimson Tide -425   *Best Bet

They are #1 seed for good reason.  They were 19 - 2 in a very good conf. 

In a similarly very good conf,  Terps were just 12 - 10.

Home game for Bama -- where they are 12 - 0 ....plus 3 wins recently on neutral court all vs teams of about the same calibre as Maryland, except tonight's game will be a home game...

Terps on the road in conf just  1 - 9.... 2 - 1 on neutral floor where the 10 pt loss was to Indiana and one of the 2 neutral court wins was to weakass Minnesota, then a very narrow 2 pt win over West Va....

And I've seen enough of this game flow to see the writing on the wall .....LIVE ACTION BET with 11:45 left, taking the superior team  TEXAS -650 ....despite 0 for 11 from the arc -- which is a fluke in itself!

And right after I post that, P U scores and the line on TEXAS dropped to -500 ....

TEXAS *finally* hits a 3 pointer after starting 0 for 11

 8 mins to go ....fouls not an issue for either team with so little time left

TEXAS down 3 now.....

Texas is 19 - 0 when they lead at the half........ P U has the ball with 4 left

After that  P U run of 8 pts....now time for the better team to do same 

2:02 left and the timeout effectively should end the TEXAS run to take a 3 pts lead.........NOW, anybody's game.... except that I have LOT riding on the better team 

despite a highly improbable only 1 for 13 from downtown,

Longhornies!  

Survive and cash in. Congrats!

Well this sucks.....Bama with 7 pt lead.....and one player (F: Clowney, tied for top rebounds on either team) limps off with a rolled ankle.......not sure this key player returns - who also avgs 10 ppg .....lucky break for Twerps if he doesn't ....or if he tries to play hobbling in pain....

Keep in mind, their #1 scorer is playing with a very tender groin strain (painful)....

I notice that while this is a home game for Bama, just from the loudness of the cheering it seems as if the fans of Maryland are at least 1/3 of the crowd.   I misjudged this in my pregame analysis figuring it would be the usual 90% homies.....Not as much a homecourt edge for Bama

Ok, well maybe not 1/3 of the fans cheer for Maryland, but closer to 20 - 25% or so

Housekeeping..... errors recording my results:

After posting 7 - 0 on Thursday March 9, I was 88 - 43   (with 64 - 23 *BB)

March 11: Vermont and Purdue wins, I was 90 -43    (with 64 - 23 *BB)

March 12:   no MENS bets

March 13:   no MENS bets

March 14:  Michigan *BB win and Liberty win = 92 - 43   (with 65 - 23 *BB) 

March 15:  3 wins and 2 losses (one was -575) = 95 - 45 (with 65 - 23 *BB) 

March 16:   no MENS bets

March 17: Baylor *BB, UCONN *BB, KY wins = 98 -45  (with 67 - 23 *BB) 

at end of Friday, March 17

I had errantly forgotten to add the March 11 winners.

I also errantly added the 1 - 2 WOMENS results into my MENS.

So 98 -45  (with 67 - 23 *BB) entering March 18 is now corrected.

MENS was 98 -45  (with 67 - 23 *BB)  entering Saturday March 18 

MENS was 98 -45  (with 67 - 23 *BB)  entering Saturday March 18 ...

Saturday March 18 results:

  Kansas -180   *Best Bet

   Houston -190 (in-game)

   Texas -650  (in-game) 

   Alabama -425  *Best Bet

Ladies:  1 - 2 on Friday (with *BB winner)      and 0 - 1 Saturday
