Darn Baylor, this pick looks cooked.  Sucks, I was a bit worried about the early start time for this game.  Yale players all probably had lights out at 9pm sharp while Baylor was partying into the night, ha ha ha.  Ivy league will be the death of my betting account.  I keep falling into the match up and athlete disparity, yet they come out sharp every time and are pesky little gnats.  Should they hold on, congrats to Yale, and I apologize to anyone who tailed me on this pick.

I am surprised to see so much Little Rock love.  They did look very capable in their recent tournament run, but Purdue is so freaking big and lanky.  I'm on Purdue myself, hope that was not a mistake.

Won my UNCW +10 bet, but it sure wasn't easy.

I tailed quite a few plays in this thread.  Gotta follow topflight sports and Wichita State.
Providence -2
Miami -14
Kentucky -13
Valpo -4
Fresno St +9

And of course I already locked in my Oklahoma -14 play for multiple units on Friday.  I really like that one, may end up being my largest bet of the tournament.

$$$$ Thread NCAA Tournament $$$$ Record:   6-3

Playing on a lot of chalk today boys. Not a bad thing necessarily but just means that our capping has to be all the tighter. This tournament, underdogs seem to be the better play, most of them have nothing to lose and this is the biggest game of their lives... just like Yale and Baylor. 1st ever tourney win for Yale. 

BOL fellas, keep up the good work.

So far the public has not lost a total today. 5 wins, 1 tie, no losses. With that, aside from the Yale game, it's pretty much been chalk. It sets up tonite which could be a bit different for the public. Right now, public on Arizona, seton hall, providence. I'm thinking only one favorite wins here. BOL everyone.

3-1 so far

$$$$ FLORIDA PANTHERS REGULATION $$$$

(+105)

I honestly love this play today, sat yesterday out because wasn't a big fan of any games but back at here! and I'm playing this one hard tonight probably gonna drop 500$ on it!

Now to the write up, the leafs are currently on a 2 game win streak for some reason after beating the Red Wings and Lightning and as a leaf fan is very upsetting because we want that damn first overall pick!!!!! so stop winning!!!

But I just can't see the leafs winning this one. The Panthers head into the ACC on Thursday night looking to stay atop the Atlantic division as they currently hold a one point lead on the Bruins and a two point edge on the Lightning in a battle that will come down to the wire.
As for tonight though, their mini run comes to an end as the Cats need a big win and they should have no trouble getting it.

you go ahead donkey if you feel like money on fl state. 

I'm fading fl st. 

Val for me. 

Win or lose, I am all out of $$$$ by tomorrow.  2-0-2 or 1-1-2 or 1-0-3 is my fate.  Even so, the odds are on my side for a profitable or lose just juice of a week.

$$$$ Miami -14 $$$$

1-2 on posted picks.Feeling really good about this pick.Simply this is a difference of 2 conferences,the MAC vs ACC.If this was a football game I would give Buffalo a chance but basketball is a whole different story.Buffalos out of conference match ups were bad.
VCU 90-69
Iowa St 84-63
Duke 82-59
St Joes 89-67
Old Dom 77-58
Granted they were earlier in year but Buffalo had some bad in conference losses also.
Miami did have an inexpiable lost to Northeastern in November but for most of the season they were one of the top teams in the ACC,hell one of the tops in the country.Sort of a homecoming for Coach Larranaga,game being played in Providence wher he went to college and captained the basketball team.I"m on Miami -14

The Mocs are a good team from a much weaker conference and only played one ranked team this year, Iowa State, in which they lost big.  Indiana has played stiff competition all year and this will only be a warm up game for the next round in which they will face Kentucky.  I see Zeisloft and Indiana's superb three point shooting and ability to get to the line being the x factors here.  

$$$$ Indiana Hoosiers -10




On this like a cheap suit!!!

I've been staring at the games for the better part of an hour trying to pick what I liked best.  I'll be honest there wasn't a ton, but one game stood out to me.   $$$$Indiana -10.5

They currently 7th Adj offensive effieciecy with chattanooga rating 80th in adjusted defensive efficiency, going 18-0 when scoring over 80 points.  They've played the best and held their own, beating iowa (twice) purdue and maryland.  Chattanooga is 29-5 but they've faced 1 team in the top 50, ISU who they got smacked by.  The varying levels of competition here isn't even funny. Indiana by 20,

$$$$ Indiana -10.5

I'll take a shot with Indiana as well, although Purdue is giving the Big-10 a black eye here.  What a choke job!

Good lord almighty, looks like UALR is going to beat Purdue straight up!  Have to admit that I absolutely did not see that happening.  Congrats on the sharp capping for those who sided with UALR.  I will be off in the corner licking my wounds ha ha.  Also, freaking Miami is losing to Buffalo.  Unreal.  They gotta stop playing so tight.
