54-51-3 -3.18
everything sucks. The seton hall play last night shows how discombulated I am. I never planned to make that play til a weird impulse I got late, game wasnt remotely on my radar. had the other 3 plays planned in advance at least
Anyway, maybe today I'll be less of a mess and it wont suck as much.
No, tonight will suck horribly. The thought of losing a bet against the current form of this minny team sickens me to the core

NWestern -4 vs. minny
Minny had 2 relatively punchless bench guys (Hurt and Konate) play a combined 58 minutes and score combined 2 points in the indy loss. A team with a pretty weak bench now has razor thin margin for error. Outside of murphy and mason, mcbrayer is decent, this team lacks reliable players and depth. I dont see how minny could possibly have much success on the road with this lineup, at least in the short term.
So nwest took a step back this year, but it's written in stone they have to f*cking suck every game now? They cant put together an occasional solid showing in their own damn building with the same players as last year? Law, McIntosh, Pardon, Lindsey , cmon. Their D in the paint is pathetic, but can minny really exploit it too bad here? How about you step foot upon your own home court and decide not to f*cking play like losers and beat a lousy minny team

Ark -9 vs. lsu
LSU is coming off a crazy win, going into one of the toughest venues to win at, playing an angry team off 2 losses. Logic would dictate a team that isnt great at D and who's best player is a freshmen will have some road stinkers in conference. This looks like a great spot for the home team to get a relatively decisive victory here. Arkansas should be able to exploit shaky defense inside.
But I guess now that johnny jones is gone, lsu is immune to tough conference road spots and will never lose by 10+ on the road again. Coach will wade is a good coach, but he's actually the greatest ever. Team's like Michigan state sometimes lose by 16 on the road to above average teams, but not will wade's LSU team, no no, no sir

Mizzou -5.5 vs. uga
Mark Fox has been there 9 f*cking years now, he is a micro manager, he's an NIT coach, his teams play tight often. But now it's year 9 and none of that applies. After a disgraceful showing at umass, they turned into a well coached juggernaut.
It's impressive how they've dominated at home since then, but here's who they've handled: g tech team struggling mightily at the time, a rapidly fading temple team, hung with kentucky in major letdown spot after lville, a mediocre at best and road weary ole miss team with no inside presence, and a young completely discombulated bama team.
I see them coming to earth on the road against a good mizzou team. Then again, I see nothing but mirages nowadays.
In bizarro reality world we now live in, UGA has officially turned the corner under the mighty coach Fox, who in his 9th year has shed every flaw he once had. They are well positioned to go on the road to face a solid mizzou team and validate their recent play with a terrific gameplan and impeccable execution. .
They are just too good to lose on the road to a good team. Doesnt matter that it's not the greatest looking matchup for them (they dont aggressively go for turnovers, ranking near the bottom in ncaa) , making it unlikely they take advantage of mizzou's biggest weakness. Doesnt matter also that there is good chance for a large 3 pt fg made disparity in mizzou's favor at home. Or that mizzou comes off a really tough loss and should bring a big effort here.
For year 9 is the year Fox has pointed to all along as the year he will dominate.

UCONN pk vs. ucf
so can we pencil ucf into the nat'l championship game now when they get taylor back? If they are this dominant and prominent without him, what happens when he returns? A team that turns it over and struggles offensively is immune to a road stinker because of the 20 minutes a game the 7'6 taco plays. Who needs consistent playmaking and outside on the road nowadays?
If Reggie Theus wasnt somehow still coaching at CSUN, kevin ollie would likely be the worst coach in the game. This guy sucks.
That said, ucf on the road wont score much and I still expect a stinker before taylor returns. Uconn is a bizarre poorly coached topheavy team let's be real, but they can be decent at times and play up to competition. They look good at times. Last year a 12-3 ucf team with taylor went to uconn who was 5-9 at the time and lost by 15. Which means kevin ollie will have his team do the opposite of whatever they did in last year's game to ensure they lose again. Mainly, I just expect ucf to look beatable on the road without taylor against a home team that does have some good talent.
