767 Butler vs 768 Villanova(-15) (BreaksBeater)
I think that this game is going to be utter destruction. Butler
reminds me of Notre Dame in football. By that I mean if Butler had of
played an easy out of conference schedule they would be highly rated
and the media would say they are good and yada yada yada. But the fact
of the matter is they are not very good. They have lack of depth, they
dont shoot the ball very well and the coaching is not bad but is not
good enough to cover the misgivings of this team. And I might be wrong
because of the amount of points to lay but I looking at the stats and
angles Villanova should beat the Brakes off the Bulldogs tonight.
I don't really have to say anything about Villanova. Some people say
they are over rated. Personally I think they are a force to reckon with
in the Big Dance. They played a heckuva a game vs St. Johns and I really
look for them to flex. There is alot of chalk in this
game and I think that the 1h play is big one to swallow. But GSM
projections has Villanova winning by 17. I personally think they should
be winning by 20. Back in December Butler took Villanova to
OT losing by 2 points but that was a long time ago. The rigors of the
conference has definitely wore on Butler, and Villanova is well aware
that if they lose to Butler it could severely hurt their seeding as we
move forward. At
this point the Wildcats can move into a first place tie with Creighton
and hope they stumble down the stretch (highly unlikely). Butler has not
defended well as of late in the post as well as the perimeter and the
Wildcats will want to stretch it out. Fade or Follow but I think this
should be a great play. The one thing that i will say about this game
is that if Villanova comes out sluggish a 2h play is definitely in
order.
Pick : Villanova -15 ( i would get it before it gets any higher)
779 Baylor vs 780 Texas (-4)
I am not about to play with you on this pick. I am not going to do my
normal contraian thing , and work my finger to the bone typing this one
up. I am behind the U. Not Baylor U. But the U down there in Awwwstin
Texas (yeah I meant to spell it that way; no spell check).
You know I have always liked Texas basketball. I am talking waaaay
back. We are talking Pre-Durant. Going back to the "BMW Ultimate
scoring Machine" with Travis Mays, Lance Blanks, and Joey Wright
(you hear me) and obviously everyone knows about Damon Jones, Lance
Aldridge, and the greatest Freshman ever in Kevin Durant. There have
been some special players coming through here and this year's roster
albeit young is looking pretty special as well. Matt Barnes has a solid
group of younguns here . There are only 2 upperclassmen on this team and
they have been getting better and better and really no one is paying
much attention to them. Jonathan Holmes
is averaging 13pts and 7 boards and Javan Felix and the rest of the
crew are playing some good basketball. Yes they have stumbled along the
way but thats what young teams do. I understand it could be
said that they are in a situational revenge spot by Baylor but I LOVE
the fact that they are coming off two road losses and gets baylor at
Home. Some people thing this is going to be close but I think the
longhorns come out strong and will get Baylor to play an uptempo game
which favors the Longhorns. The whole write up has been about Texas so you know where I'm going with this: Pick Texas -4 Strong lean over 141
