Thursday College Hoops

[iKnowNothing]

I'm waiting for all the Pac-12 lines to be released on 5Dimes but I like Washington -3.5 in the early morning game. Wish it was 3 but Oregon State is playing two days in a row and they aren't a deep squad. Washington likes to push it and that could be deadly against tired legs. Also a note (even though I hate these historical notes), Washington has won the last 2 championships.

I also like Nevada -11. Being played in Nevada so it's basically home games for them. San Jose State is a terrible road team and got dismantled by 24 when they played in NV last time. Not a fan of taking big lines in conference tournaments but this seems like it's too small. I'm thinking it's 15 on the low side.

I like the chalk party to continue early at MSG.

I think UCONN will have tired shooting legs and will struggle to shoot over the 3-2 'Cuse zone.

Today is a sad day. No more USC games for the season and Utah to a lesser extent. The books could never get the USC lines right LOL. USC failed to cover again.


finally the main event has started for the next 3 days.


took KState +2 on the early game. I like how they have been playing and going to back them here. KState should have some fan support at this game compared to Baylor. I just don't trust Baylor outside of their building and KState is a team that can handle their length at the positions. I actually trust KState's shooting and coaching alot more here and will take them as dogs.




going to take Clemson -2.5 simply as a pure fade of VTech. VTech is just bad. You would never see a half decent VTech squad lose at home this season the way they did. getting beat up by Virginia, NC State and hammered by other teams. Clemson is middle of the pack but it should be enough.

3 team 4 point tease paying +200

New Mexico St -3.5/San Diego St -3.5/UNLV -5

I like NMSt to make to the finals here and maybe get a berth to the tourney. They are playing Fresno St who last game had a 16 point lead on NMST at half and NMSt came back and beat them in OT. Fresno gave them their best shot at home and couldn't win. I like NMSt to come out strong now knowing a bid is on the line(That last game, they had the 2 seed sewn up)

SDSt is playing Boise St who just sucks. should be an easy victory here.

UNLV is playing at home against Wyoming. They won by double digits last game against them. I look for them to cover the 5 here.


Also doing some Mix and Match 4-5-6-7 team 4 point teasers with the 3 teams above and USM -2, Cuse -3, Cincy +7, Kansas St +6.

I like the teasers here today.

I've backed UConn both of the last two days, and I feel I've aged 10 years as a result. Some of the luckiest covers of my life. Failed to close well against DePaul and then had to come all the way back to cover the two points against WVU.

I'm just not impressed with this team. There are too many times where they seem disinterested in what's going on.

Marquette -3 is my big play.

[jimmysingh9]

I took Marquette as well at -3.

[STS]

I too will miss USC. The close halftime score was a gift yesterday for the halftime double up as well.

Cincinnati has won 5 of 6 and 3 in a row vs GT, but it is still hard for me to go with Cincinnati. Love Marquette and Syracuse. UConn didn't play well yesterday and Syracuse won't go 0 for their last 13 shots.

Others:
Arkansas
Miami FL
New Mexico
Purdue

Liking Washington -4 too. So many good games early. I havent really been able to look in depth at the late games.

I've been on a terrible streak so I hope you guys start fading me. At least someone will make money then!

It's good to know I'm not alone. I placed five two team parlays today and had Cal in every single one. Cal covered.
Lost all five parlays at five different teams failed to cover. Unbelievable. Now the betting gods are torturing me.

iKnow, If I fade you and you fade me...what happens then?

[Kballa41]

I have been so cold early and making up for it late, basically paying the vig once again. Ughh. Maybe i should sit out the early games today.
