We get a pissed off Sooner squad, losers of 2 out of 3, heading into Lubbock to face a Red Raider team high on the hog after impressive wins over Iowa State and at Baylor. A week ago could we have gotten this at (-5)? No chance.

OU has been playing rather poorly since they peaked at #1 in the AP poll. They're 3-3 on the road in Big 12 play, so they aren't invincible. At the same time, Tech is only 3-3 defending their home court, so opportunity exists.

The Sooners drilled Tech by 24 a few weeks back and that domination has to be a factor...not a revenge factor, rather a "we're better than you" factor.

Both teams have motivation as OU needs some high RPI wins to get back to the #1 line while for the Red Raiders a win over the Sooners would go a long way to booking their ticket to the tourney.

A big factor in this game will be rebounding...Oklahoma is 1st while Tech is worst in the Big 12. Spangler, Lattin and Cousins should be able to control the boards for the Sooners. Oklahoma averages 6 boards/game more than Texas Tech and that's more chances for Hield to get loose.

If Texas Tech is going to win this game it could be due to a strong shooting night from downtown. That's not the Red Raiders strength either as OU shoots a full 11% better (44.3%-33%) from beyond the arc.

All in all, I think we are getting a line that is 3-4 points better than it would have been 7-10 days ago. I'll take the Sooners to get back on track and lay the wood...

Pick: Oklahoma (-5)

I jut saw this rf_dawg.....is this a "$$$$" or no?

Page ur bookie on his beeper right now.. When he call u back tell him u want 2 bet ur bankroll on tha DePaul Blue Demons -2!! If u want 2 watch sum competitive bball 2night then u better stay tha hells away from this game.. Letting ur little kids watch this game would be more messed up then takin them 2 see Deadpool.. thats how messed up this game gonna be.. These teams cant shoot and they cant defend.. But in this battle of tha 2 worst programs in tha big east; depaul has tha edge ALL DAY LONG and they will dominate this game from start 2 finish.. Billy 'tha kid' Garrett is gonna have a MVP type game against tha terrible st johns defense and Tommy 'tha terminator' Hamilton is gonna show tha clowns at st johns how 2 play center like a man.. St Johns think hiring sum chump like Chris Mullin is goin 2 help this squad?? LOL Mullin should not b in tha hall of fame and he shouldnt even be coaching a pee wee team.. All tha saints in tha world cant save mullin and his no talent team 2night!! Put ur $$$$ PLAY on DePaul and say thanks to Dreamsicle aka Gal$harpton at tha end of tha night!!

by far my favorite $$$$ poster. Blindly tailed Delaware last time just purely because of the entertaining post. Liked Depaul coming in and will probably sprinkle something on them now if the line hasn't lost too much value. Nice job Dreamsicle, thanks for making it fun

WIU @ NDSU
NDSU -7.5
Love a bounce back game from Ndsu after dropping two in a row. Top scorer is questionable, but they are a much different team at home. Beat Sdsu, Ipfw, Oral Roberts all at home. Only home loss this season is to Omaha. Beat WIU by 13 on the road.

Guys. If you want a play tracked as a "$$$$", you have to put it prominently in the post. If I don't see "$$$$", I am not tracking it. Also, no write-up, and I mean a decent write-up with some insight and knowledge included, then its not getting tracked either.

Please read the entire opening post if you want to be included in tracking.

This is really a gut play but do have some info to back it up. St Joe's has been playing very good hoops lately. 9-1 l/10, as is Dayton but the Hawks are 17-4-1 l/22 ats. These 2 teams met once last year with Dayton pulling out a 4 pt home win. Last trip to Philly, Dayton loss to LaSalle on 1.8.16. DeAndre Bembry & Isaiah Miles are playing very well right now with Miles hitting 88% from the stripe.

I think this game will be a very tough, defensive game that will come down to FT's. St Joe's shoots 72% from the line, they are at home and a little bit of revenge from last year. Let us not forget that Dayton is up by 1 game on St Joes in the Atlantic 10. My common sense tells me St Joes wins this by 5+. GLTA.

$$$$ play is St Joe's -2 -120 or St Joe's -2.5 if buying the 1/2 point is not acceptable.

Solid, easy, $$$$ winner here from gatorbear!

Another super-easy $$$$ winner from bubbaski27 and jroc1247 on Illinois State. Nothing like an easy, never-in-doubt, wire-to-wire, winner....

Shotgun Spratling ?@ShotgunSpr

Correction: Josh Scott isn't wearing an ankle brace, but looks good to go in warmups. Being told he'll try to play, but will not start.

Oh, I forgot.

Josh Scott will be coming off the bench in tonight's game, so I don't expect a lot of points from the guy.

Honestly, since he is a back-to-the-basket, post-up guy, the added points he might score could be balanced out by how he would slow the game down. I think him playing or not playing would have little effect on the total.

Unbelievable scoring drop off from the first half to the second half in the UNC/Duke game.

These long, fk'n scoring droughts are killing the Over with Col/USC, so unless USC comes out firing with Colorado responding in kind, the Over is cooked.

But in many games, when a game finishes Under in the 1H, it usually goes Over in the 2H.

But I'm not holding my breath.

tennesse beats the spread against kenucky

both Kentucky shooting 47% eennesse Shooting 41% doesn't giv enough for Kentucky o over come the -17 deficit. rebounding nearly equal 3 point nearly equal and points per game scored nearly ewual Kentucky toughr d leads to more fouls and tense good at the linescoring 73% as a tem avg.

realization safest money says Kentucky may avoid fouling out at home but tennesee wont be beat by 17

miss understood my bets on college basket ball will stay at 20.00

took 5/2 odds Syracuse won lost miserbly

today took tennesee Kentucky at tennesee plus 17 took the 80-68 given in macro and applied micro a plus 5% when 115 positions cindered its really a plus 12-15 kentucky.

not sue if an ovr under will be presented but 148 as a mean it have to rise to 153 for under or 142 to be over.

Holmely u were so close man i was gonna tail yer pick last night after i struck out wIth OU on a steep 2nd half bet. I actually asked u before the game and when i didnt get an answer i went with the gut COL+8 which looked genius until they almost "boise'd" as refrence to anothrr meltdown pick that i had locked when boise was up 15 with 5 min to go. Anyways my whole point was that how does col foul down 8 with like 10 seconds left and not foul down 7 after he hits the 3 with 6 or 7 secs left to get yer over covered? Dont get me wrong it worked out for me im just trying to make sense of it cuz according to the previous play i would have for sure thought they were fouling again.
