2/22 college hoops picks

will have my ytd after these night games are over. gonna lock this one up now. i really want to go bigger on it, but i don't know how boise will react to sdsu d. but honestly i don't see how sdsu wins. their offense is just so bad and boise is legit on both sides of the ball. these teams with this many turnovers, like sdsu, stay shooting themselves in the foot to close out games. much like what oklahoma st is about to do to me tonight. anyways, boise st should get this one in my opinion - boise st -2 (1.5u)

i'll probably take arkansas. they've played well on the road but they've played hot garbage. i don't trust the gators, though, or mike white. it is a bad spot for arkansas, going on the road with little rest but i dunno. just feel like they're shaping into form and are the better team

This line seems too low. I thought the same on Saturday when they were home to Utah St and were only -3.5 and won by 11. Love Boise -2

i was on Utah st in that game. They really fell apart with the fouls. Outscored boise st in field goals and threes. But that’s what this physical house team does. Seems right to me. Sdsu has done well as of recent. I love how this boise team looks though. Good luck to us!

YTD - 95-104 (-19.64u)

catching some fire just in time for march. let's hope it keeps going. i believe i'm 5-0 or 6-0 the last 5u plays. few more days of this and i'll be back in black

keep burning u stud.

Back in Black  ..Keep it up, plenty of BB 

Congrats on the Big Plays run! 

Good luck ODB.  

thanks, ladies and gentleman. let's hope it keeps coming our way!

@Wizerguy

 just saw your comment about marquette the other night. is it me or is there never an easy big east win? it seems like backdoor occur the most in this conference, year in and year out. either backdoor covers or the most colossal fuck ups that heavily impact the game in the final couple minutes. i had butler over providence that day, too. same shit. if you want your blood pressure to go up, just put a few bucks on a big east game. and... wait?! we have uconn and nova today! lol. the good news is these teams don't have as low of iq's as the lower tier of their conference. jay wright owns uconn, but uconn has been playing solid ball as of lately. nova has been a little on the sloppy side facing the bottom tier big east teams on the road. uconn at home might be just what the doctor ordered. nice tidbit - since 05, when jay wright turned nova around, HE IS 17 AND 42 ATS AS A ROAD DOG!

uconn -2 (5u)

i also believe that akok akok will be back in the line up today after missing a handful of games. he hasn't been that impactful with his stats thi yer, but should give some relief to uconn's thin bench. uconn is #1 in offensive boards in the big east and #11 in the nation in second chance scoring. nova is physical but they don't have the height to match uconn and we should see some success off easy buckets and putbacks for uconn. the only concern is uconn's lack of perimeter defense. they are ranked 9th in the east in three point distrubtion. gillespie has been on fire lately, putting up nba numbers against opposing teams. hoping for some regression here in a much more chaotic environment

nevada -2 (2u)

all year books have thought highly of this team. they had some very strong lines even while nevada struggled. the mountain west has been super impressive this year and they got some major sleepers. while nevada has beaten the bottom of the barrel to bounce back off their struggles, i think it's just the bit of confidence they need to get passed a higher tier team like unlv. nevada has a monster schedule ahead of them, and if everything works out picture perfectly, they still have a chance to get into the tournament, but first they'll have to get the easiest game today out of the way before they move on to slaying goliath 

@Dogjimbo

 

iowa -6 (2.5u)

let's see how these go. i'm itching to unload on nevada but i'm gunshy just because of how inconsistent they've been

@OlDirtyBaztid

 What I saw early this morning was that Gillespie was questionable with an ankle injury and Moore was banged up and less than 100%. Also saw where Jay Wright told Jon Rothstein of CBS that both players were around 80% healthy. I played as if they were both going to play. Bol brother. Go Huskies!

@cheech1972

 yup. i have one posted in the thread. taking a chance with bowling green

Good Luck with your plays today ya Dirty Old Baztid 

thanks, badger!
