A full slate of games on the board today so gonna start off early at the buffet all the way to last call. Sat are my most active days but with the NFL playoffs here I will post hoops plays in increments usually an hour or so before tip-off. Good Luck in advance and feel free to drop some knowledge for or against.
N Carolina -11
> Like Maryland as a team and very well coached by Williams The Tar Heals on the other hand are just rolling on all cylinders. In Chapel Hill has alot to do with the choice here. The Terps will play tough and could backdoor but I like the HEELS to pull away late.
UAB -3.5
> Think the BLAZERS defensive pressure will be the difference
Oklahoma St -5
> The team to beat in the Big12 and definitly final four material. Texas Tech just doesnt have enough.
[B]Pittsburgh -3.5
> The PANTHERS have lost 2 in a row which has casued the line to fade a bit so jumping all over them here. Rutgers has been impressive in some games but like the Panthers to right the ship and go on a nice roll
Iowa St +6
> Missouri here at home would be obvious but leaning towards the dogs today. I think they cover easily and could outright.
Best Bets
Georgetown +180 +5
> Impressed with the HOYAS winning at Pittsburgh last time out. UCONN comming off a loss to Boston College and just don't seem to be playing well right now. Looks as though they are still seeking there identity and have gotten by so far this season on talent and reputation. If at home UCONN would be the choice easily, but on te road going with the dawgs.
Arkansas +200 +5.5
> The Gators had no bite last time out getting mauled by Florida St. If there ever was a time to catch em slippin now is the time. Donovan will hae them ready but injuries are taking their toll and the GATORS arent as dominate at home as in years past.
Worth Considering
Iowa +135 +3
> This one hurts because the BUCKEYES have gotten off to a very impressive start. Normally I would take them here and with Wisconsin looming and the way they fell off against Illinois I think they come up short. They could very well rebound nicely here but Iowa is one of the better Big10 teams and +$ gets the play
