Hw57 - glad I could help.  I know how that is sometimes.  

Id never suggest a blind tail but I seem to be doing well on my multi-unit bets (I'll update my record shortly) this year.

Syracuse -3.5  2 units.  Syracuse has to be PISSED after that Duke game and the BC looking ahead fiasco.  They are still very talented...and now angry.

Unbelievable.  Up 12.... 0-1 day for -2.2

Well, Ill put the streak to bed as this is the first negative day in a week.  19-9 run

Overall now 222-172-11 for +62.1 units.

Iowa -2.5  1 unit.  Minnesota is fading while Iowa has been a tough Big 10 opponent on the road.  Time to shape up their tourney rank.

St Joes -3.  1 unit.  Home team dominated series.

St Johns -6.5  1 unit.  Xavier against decent teams on the road has lost big this year.  Meanwhile St Johns is really in a groove.

with the amount of turnovers Maryland had and low scoring % by them it should've been a blowout and it was looking like it but the free throws kept them in the game.  didn't look at the box score but it seems Syracuse was hardly at the line.

just keep plugging away uclalumnus and do what you do.  looking forward to your next multiple unit plays.

Haw57 - thanks.

Just hate it when one more bucket would have clinched it.

Id take Vandy if they can get to 10 points but not looking likely.

1-2 day for -1.2 units.

ASU -1.5  2 units.  ASU cant wait to get back home.  Stanford must be feeling confident as well with its two home wins where they shot the lights out but Im guessing they cool off on the road.

Nebraska +4  2 units.  They are playing possessed.  Illinois has zero chance at the tourney while Nebraska is holding onto theirs.

Texas -4.  2 units.  Baylor obliteration.  Line is low because of the last two Texas losses were on the road.  Baylor has gotten itself back into tourney talk with its four game win streak but it ends here.

Maybe a few others but lines need to move.

NC State +5  1 unit.  Two starters hurting on NC and the Wolfpack fighting for a bid to the tourney.

Good Luck today!...This in my opinion is one of the best threads on this site. I don't know how you avoid all the drama...but I'm sure glad you do. This a nice clean thread. Others should take notice.

dacooler - thanks!

Not sure why.

I think I fly under the radar because I sometimes do alot of picks whereas most do 1 or two at the most at a time.

Most people that checkout out threads are basically: "Look, all I need is one play I know you are going to crush" not "where are you going to end up at the end.?"

Which is fine.  However people can beat their books.

Im hoping that the strategies I used this year to move me from 51% to 56% in NCAAB I have now continues the next several years. And CFB has been high 50s each year.

I had that nutso NFL last year in my first year tracking but this year was awful so that needs work and NBA is still a work in progress.  I started the season strong but Ive definitely lost the pulse on a few teams that I was following.

Im going to take a stab at MLB next.  Gulp.

Hope you didn't have Detroit in pre-season today.

Id rather wait till todays action is over but going to grab some early lines for tomorrow.

Texas blowing Baylor out as predicted.  Nice.

Marquette -4.  1 unit.  Another series that seems to go to the home team.  Georgetown not that strong on the road this year.

Long Beach -4.  2 units.  Hawaii looking tough again by beating up patsies.  LBC should play confident and much better than its record.

Pepperdine -1.5  1 unit.  Just not enough talent for me to take SF on the road.

Maybe Indiana if I can get more points.

Texas - gag.  I'll take it though.  And no more mid game smugness.

OK, lets go Sun Devils...

Stanford getting 3-pointered to death.  Nice.

3-1 on the day for +2.8 units.

Waiting for more points vs Gonzaga.  Would LOVE Pacific at 8....

Will take UCSB if UCI skies to 5.

Maybe Indiana at 6.

Oregon line coming down...if I can get 5.5 or less with my Bruins, I'll bite.

Trisman -  was hoping for more points but didnt happen - line went the other way.  Pacific should give them fits but 5 is too short.  

OK adding UCSB.  UC Irvines disaster of losing at Northridge makes this game for the conference title.  Alan Williams will be a one man show for UCSB.  Will it be enough?  Not sure but the pressure is on Irvine as they put themselves in this spot.  ML is +160 so 1 unit to win 1.6.

haw57 - That was a rough one.

At least UCSB got blown out so I didnt have to regret not taking the points.  Ha.

No plays tonight but early action for tomorrow.

NC State -2.5  1 unit.  Snorefest but NC State still has the outsidiest of chances at the tournament.

Dayton -2.5  1 unit.  Not as evenly matched as you might think.  Mostly a home team winning series.  Dayton needs the win more than UMASS.

Cincinnati +5.  1 unit.  Should be close.  Cinci has pulled off the upset at UCONN before.

Oklahoma -3.5  2 units.  Home crowd will be screaming like banshees.  Texas fooled around and let Baylor back in it.  That type of play wont work here.

 Virginia -3.5  2 units.  Virginia is punishing teams at home.  Cant see this being any different.

VCU -4.5  1 unit.  VCU SHOULD win handily here at home.  Saint Louis not exactly a covering machine.

Arizona State -4  2 units.  I like a repeat of the Stanford game.  Crowd should be nuts and ASU is trying to play its way into the tourney.

Texas A and M -1.5  1 unit.  TAMU has been dangerous enough at home

San Francisco -3  2 units.  SF trying to play themselves into a bid.  LMU is glad surf weather is returning.

Still thinking on a few others...
