MARCH 1st

LET THE MADNESS ENSUE! Some pretty nice dogs tonight, and as we saw with Kansas St last night, teams playing better ball the past week tend to keep heating up. Not sure that helps make the case for Illinois @ Purdue, but that team has potential and I just can't get off them. Will keep track from here on out as we close the season.

Va Tech -9 and Ove 136: most expect a Hokie letdown, but I don't see it for this group on senior night against a BC team that already beat them. Hokies offense CLICKING and BC has hands down the worst defense in the ACC, Jackson always capable of taking a game over for the Eagles, but think BC wears down and melts in second half.

Okie St -2: hopefully they keep the momentum going in a sandwich spot for baylor. okie st #2 in big 12 in steals so like their chances to get enough turnovers and transition buckets to win.

Missouri +1.5: just don't see how nebraska has any left in the tank after two tough late collapses. missouri press should wear them down.

Wisconsin Green Bay +5.5: not enough separating these teams to justify laying more than a couple buckets. should go down to the wire.

UVA -1.5: beating a defeated yellow jacket team not enought to convince me sidney lowe has rallied his troops. wahoos in home finale should take a win simply because they are better coached.

Alabama +6 *LARGE* and Under 127: Florida typically enjoys a significant paint advantage, but not in this matchup. the Tide control the paint and as long as they don't foul (florida average in drawing fouls) i like them to get their first marquee win. game should play very similar to florida v florida st earlier this season.

Illinois +9.5: quick turnaround for purdue (who i love) but don't see them having an easy game against desperate illinois. Illini have great FG defense just can't get a turnover for the life of them. certainly have the height to contain JJ.

Penn St +6.5 *LARGE*: have to take the home dog in the biggest game in nittany lion hoops history. they don't turn the ball over and can turn this into a grinder and make ohio st have to win ugly.

Vandy +8 and Over 147: two best offenses in the SEC. sucker line but Vandy has been solid ATS on the road and kentucky coming off their typical bounceback win over the weekend. vandy just has major perimiter advantage and i'd rather go to war with ezili than anybody else on uk. would love to see coach cal blow the wildcats home streak.

Don't let the ML Scare you!

KEEP WINNING
