@Clintorious-Oregon looked like crap at the beginning of the year and then turned things around. They have been playing very well lately and have a great shot at beating Creighton. Good luck with that.

These games are BS my picks never win 2 in a row and two teams that combined to go way over twice before somehow go under by 2 points. I have had enough with these Overs not hitting. My last 4 Over picks have not won and two of them missed my a basket.
First Arizona/Texas Over 140.5 ends up with 139, then Butler/Wisconsin Over 122.5 ends up with 115, next Marquette/UNC Over 151 ends up with 144 and now in NBA Portland/Oklahoma City who averaged 215.5 points in the first two 9games end up with 189. If these games were not based  I might be as high as 10. Instead I'm at BIG FAT 0 again. If my Overs were allowed to to win instead of being forced to go under and lose I'd like this game a LOT more. But instead I'm having short-lived 1 game winning streaks and rarely 5+ and yet to get past 7 because to many picks that I make get BSed. It's true I made a hockey pick recently but if my streak were at 5 at the time instead of 1 I would not have picked. It takes luck like thewhitesmith's Over picks came though to not get hosed like they should because fortunately there was no BS. Those 4 Overs should have come through and if they don't start winning like they should somebody is going to get sued.

The Books are good Quad. These guys know what they're doing sometimes its best to wait and see how the line moves because it could move in your favor.

Right back atcha Dsmooth... Oregon has been getting it together. Pac-10 has some very good squads in the brewing for next year. If WashSt gets their full roster to return, they'll be tough. UCLA returns almost all their squad plus the Ware brothers will have waited on the one year after transferring from the Tar Heels.

Too bad Henson fouled out for the first time ever and that Barnes attempted 3 for the tie wasn't reviewed he got hit pretty big time with the body. Ah well, I hope UConn crushes UK. I can't stand Calipari and the Wildcats. When he came on it just made it worse for me. A guy who gives two shits about an education for his players. Two sanctions down on him. Sampson got the coroner @ Indiana and Calipari gets a nice pat on the back for $5 million plus. lol

No offense to UK fans, truly. Just my opinion is all. Nothing more. Obviously very biased. Calipari is shady to me, nothing more nothing less... Bullock (who was the 3 pt threat for UNC outside of Barnes) getting hurt was big and the Ware bros off the bench would have been very nice. McAdoo and some coming in. UNC will be strong. Henson and Barnes may go but if one stays let along both. Look out, that team is loaded.

Zeller and Marshall have some serious mojo. That starting 5 is very solid.

Long life the Tar Heels. Ute and Heels for life baby!!
Finish off March strong to all!!!

I hate to jump on this bandwagon...everytime I think Boston should win, they don't...as my mother would say "think positive".  I wanted to take Philadelphia in MLB, but that one disappeared mid morning. 

Making my run at the leaders down the home stretch...only one back.  thewhitesmith has the edge with the tiebreaker of overall record.  Lets get them.  Good luck all.

Tomorrow starts new strategy.  I must be sure to pick different games, compared to those still above me.  I can't gain any ground if picking similar winners...or heaven forbid, similar losers.  Does this make sense?

Just another reason why I hate the Celtics. It's rare I pick those bums and when I do they always seem to fall on their face. They know I'm a Laker fan so they're trying to punish me. LOL. Next time I say anything pleasant about Boston give me a virtual slap will you. That will wake me up to the reality of it all.

The Magic failed me against the Knicks last nite. I had nothing to lose on survivor but they burnt my 2 game winning streak on SFTC.

And the Magic had to go into OT before losing to keep me out of picking 6 goals or more on SFTC on last nites Avalanche/Ducks game. These games have the worst possible result.

I like the over in Houston/Nets game also, but line has moved down. Public and most cappers are going with the under? I think the Nets will bring it at home tonight and drive the score up. Also like the over in Colorado/Alabama game but most on the under. Am i way off??

Yes this line is strange since Phoenix has owned Sacramento for a few years now.

I don't think you're off at all. The last games between Hou-NJ have gone over and the public may be looking at their individual games recently against other teams. But when these 2 get together the Over seems to be the play. On Alabama-Colorado thats a little bit more tricky. Thats a toss up from what I can tell. GL
