$$$ PURDUE NCAABB Tourney Thread $$$

Im on the picks with you Purdue Pride!!!!!!

BOL

Alright guys locking these plays in for Thursday and Friday (more to come but want to get these in)

SYRACUSE -6 (7U - BIG Play) - you kidding me here? I can see Butler hanging around but covering 6 is a tall order.  Fortunate to get this line at sportsbook and it's the best I've seen and probably the best you will get up until gametime.

WASHINGTON +5 (4U) - Loved them before the injury to Bryant, and the line has dropped since the news as it was +6.5 this morning  Was getting a bit greedy and was hoping for it to continue to climb but I don't think you will get it better now

Will be playing several of the other games, including the Purdue-Duke game, just want to keep analyzing the lines and looking at as much info as possible.  I have a good idea of who I will be playing but being patient and trying to get the best possible lines for the other games

UPDATED TOURNEY RECORD: 14-15-1 (+.3U)

UPDATED OVERALL RECORD: 253-218-16 (+35.23U)

TUESDAY: 1-2 (-1.2U)

TEXAS TECH +9 (2U)

UAB -4 (2U)

TEMPLE Women 1H +17.5 (1U)

Well after this first week, roughly even which is not where I would have liked to be.  No plays tomorrow, all preparation for Thursday and Friday's big games, ready to hit it hard  

post#110 - i already locked in Washington - two of my books has +4.5 still....but like i said, even before the injury i still liked Washington to cover, this injury only enhances the bet...and no, i dont play into the "well the injury will help motivate the team even more" in casepeople wondered - not in this circumstance.

BOL to whoever you play

Washington is a HUGE guard oriented team, and Bryant was their starting guard.  He would've had a big impact on both ends of the floor.  Mazzula will have to step up and play major minutes for them.

yea they played pretty bad on the road in the first two games against 2 pretty decent teams

I like wash

Mr. Purdue you seem to doubt me alot and come up with the short end of the stick!  I'm the idiot...we'll see!

BOL on your pick!

How do you think the injury will effect the total of the game?

The Mountaineers might want to really control the tempo without the PG.

They still have a PG,mazzula would of play more minutes even if Bryant didnt break his foot.

No # 9 seed has gone to Elite 8 and N.Iowa has 63.3 ppg for season...you need 68 or better if you want to go far!

I guess I must be an idiot!

no #11 seed had made it either until george mason

 GL on your picks

i would lean the under actually, i can see WVU slowing the game down as much as possible bc of the way Wash. plays up and down and trying to get half court sets for butler and co, and without their starting guard being able to push the tempo when they are on offense will mean longer possessions the way i see it....dont play many totals though
