Tuesday Picks(pacific writeup)

[GoPaul]

Iowa - 2 1/2 saw it open at 1 wish i could of gotten it then..dont know a whole lot about texas tech but i personally like iowa quite a bit and its on the tube so im playing them

Pacific + 2 1/2 and ml +125

was at the last game vs San Francisco and they absolutely played horrible and still could have came away with the win..struggled shooting the 3 and missed more free throws than normal by key guys was a key factor in them losing..also struggled boxing out allowing san fran to get 2nd or 3rd chances which has always been a weakpoint..ats theve lost both times at home and won ats all 3 times on the road including one win straight as a dog..seems like there focus slips at home while on the road there far more focused and play better..expect them to have a far better showing after dealing for the last couple days with some angry coaches..wouldnt expect them to lose 2 straight all year no matter who they play so ill take the points as well as ml as they hopefully get back on track tonight..really think yango will get the ball alot tonight and score 20+ and Pacific will show why there a top 25 caliber team

9 teamer parlay
LoyChi ml
Seton Hall ml
Buffalo +1
Clemson pk
Gonzaga -22
USC -5 1/2
LSU - 1 1/2
Marq.-8 1/2
UCi - 10

also played college fball bowl game
syracuse +5 1/2

Thanks for the info GP, Already on this but may up the play later. I'm not a big believer in Fresno at thsi point either. Very young with some cupcake wins. Oregon had them beat easily for 30 of 40 minutes the other night and to me Pacific is far better than Oregon.

Pacific far better than Oregon??

I thinks that a stretch.:beer2:

Decent analysis GoPaul except for the part about Not expecting to lose 2 straight all year no matter who they play.

That's a stretch also.

If you say they had a probem boxing out...then thats a serious fundamental problem.
I hear you on the loss and rebound factor though but Fresno State at home is looking kinda good against a team that in a weaker conference. I would tease it if i were you.:thumbs:

[GoPaul]

so much for my parlay at least iowa came through so im ahead

playing nc st -11

regarding uop i dont know about being far better than oregon as i havent seen much of oregon but i would say they are better than oregon

as far as my saying that i dont expect them to lose 2 straight all year no matter who they play.theres no fact etc to back that up its just a gut feeling..see them as 2 good of a team to play bad games back to back and lose..it may be alot but i really expect this team to advance to the sweet 16 depending on who they play may make it easier or harder to do that ..to be honest if we were to lose 2 straight it be now because looking at the rest of the schedule i dont see any other point where its likely..

i agree about the importance of boxing out but its not that they dont have the ability its just the laack of consistency..yeah the big west conference is far from the toughest(although utah st is really good theyll be going to another conf after this year) pacific still has beaten nevada in nevada ending there long home winning streak and lead for awhile and hung close for most of the game at kansas

pacific getting points no matter where or against whom i take pacific

game can be heard online at pacifictigers.com

Silence. Sorry just getting back now....Yes IMO Pacific is far better than Oregon..Pacific is for real and the PAC 10 is not.. ..time will tell. The real reason I am against Fresno tonight is they have nine freshman, two sophs and have beaten no one very good yet..

[GoPaul]

so far so good..24-19 pacific leads..surprised to hear yangos knee was hurting and didnt start but is still playing and has since come in off the bench..pacific shooting well and seems to be limiting 2nd chance oppurtunites..heres hoping it continues..wow blue dint know that about the 9 freshmen that should help

[airborneheel]

You are looking good on the nc state pick (I refer to them as NC A&M), but I couldn't bring myself to play one of my mmost hated rivals (dook being the other).

I could care less if the line was -1 for either and they were playing Prarie View. My principles say no betting on this teams. It just ain't worth the $$ paid.

[GoPaul]

lol i understand..gonna end up being close on the nc st though since they decided to let byu come back in the 2nd half some

pacific still leads after a bad series of plays
Pacific 32-27 with fresno st shooting 1 1:55 left 1h

[airborneheel]

They must have heard me talkin' smack about them and now they are only trying to screw you. I apologize for my selfishness. GL though.

[GoPaul]

:bang: push all your fault jk..it happens at least it didnt lose but what a way to blow out missed some key free throws down the stretch...think it was hodge to..thats life hopefully uop continues as there up 8 at half
