Will update record later. I had several games circled to cap but there just not enticing enough for me to even a make any plays on those games so here is the few that i have...


GTOWN                       -6.5 Same odd line we saw for the ND/LOU game. By the way this will be the CUSE's first true test against a good D this season IMO. GTOWN really needs to get back on track and this will be a great way to start. Both teams have huge games ahead so look aheads are thrown out. I think GTOWN D and hopefully the help of CUSE having a off night would solidify this cover. This is going to be a great game and i expect Monroe to have one of his best games of the season. Would love to see Sapp really step-up and offset Flynn tomorrow night. But for now this GTOWN or no play for me...

BC                   +3.5 Not going to elaborate to much into this one. Stictly a let down game for WF...



The only other play i am looking at tomorrow is ILLINOIS... No plays in NBA. Thats it boys BOL to all. I also dont know how much i will be in tomorrow as i have a lot of shit to get done before we take off for FL. But i will have something posted before i take off.

BC- No play due to the inury status of there 3rd leading scorer.
GTOWN- Numbers are very tight and will wait to pounce on the CUSE when the play ND.
 
 
That leaves us with ILLINOIS -6.5. I was really gun shy on this when i first saw it but the more i think about it the more i am loving this spot for ILLINOIS. Champaign is one of the toughest places to win in the BIG 10. You have a very shakey road team in MICH and team that has been steam rolling opponents at home except for a very good CLEM team they lost to. You throw in the mix of a rematch and we have the works of a blowout. This gym is going to be rocking tonight. The atmosphere will be way to much for MICH to handle. Both teams have some big games ahead of them MICH plays rival OSU and ILL plays MSU. This is the only factor that is holding me back from making this a 30U play. In that last meeting MICH shot unreal from the floor to win that game IMO. Wont happen this time. Bruce Weber is going to have the boys ready to control MICH on the perimeter and they wont shoot no where near 40% like last time. Expect MICH to be in this game for maybe 10min thats all i am giving them. ILL will be ready for this one and should win comfortably by DD's. Line is sitting at 6.5 with my book some place 7. This line wont come down and if it does hit 5 i will unload again. Thats it boys BOL to all tonight as I wont be around much.
 
 
FINAL CARD
 
ILL                        -6.5 (10U)
 
 
 
Also dont forget SK will be posting my plays until i get back...

@Bird -

"By the way this will be the CUSE's first true test against a good D this season IMO."

Not sure I agree with this as Memphis has the 3rd best defensive efficiency rating according to Kenpom and that was a true road game.

However, you were right about the ND/Louis game so BOL you probably have this game pegged pretty well.

we haven't had 5 days since you started that, have we?

...i'm glad you're not on GTown as i think the 2-3 match-up zone will give them them hell tomorrow.

who's hurt for BC? Trapani/Sanders/Raji? I'm still interested with Rice in there

good luck tomorrow bird

I am absolutely shocked to see that number in the Cuse game that high.....G town guard play is average thus far and Su has huge advantage there...not to mention they went into there last year and won with a far less unified team.......trying  not to be biased but i have Syracuse by 5

Its about that time of the year i have to start listening to this shit again. Come on man look at the teams MEMPHIS has played every single year. MEM always looks good due to the teams they play they be number one in this area by the end of the season. This stuff means nothing i repeat nothing!

Grant Hill and JRICH never showed up and then ATL starters all played some really good ball probably scoring 90% of there points...
