1-1 tonight. hit the big play though so a profitable night.
12:00 pm (EST)
Georgetown +4.5
Both of these teams were once ranked in the top 10 and now neither are safe to make the tournament. I think Georgetown has the better team to be honest, but they have let me down big time lately. That was as a big favorite though (vs cinci and vs rutgers- had both games covered, but were terrible in the final 10 mins), and this is as a dog when they are at their lowest value with the public. I just don't think Syracuse is that good of a basketball team this year and the injuries have not helped. Boeheim isn't doing a good job coaching this bunch either as they never really are able to dictate the tempo of a game, they always play into their opponents style. They tried to run with teams like Villanova and Providence and went on to give up 100+ to each of them. You are not going to win games giving up that many. Georgetown plays much, much better defense than Syracuse and won't give up easy buckets. Syracuse will. It's not easy playing this Georgetown team on the road, but this is a game they should win straight up.
1:30 pm (EST)
Georgia Tech -3.5
Minnesota +3
Geo Tech is not a good team, but this is certainly a game they should win. NC State has looked good recently, but on the road here I see this as a very tough test after a very nice home win vs WF. Both these teams have wins @ home vs WF and both these teams played VT close on the road recently (although NC State really should have won if not for a collapse late, GT kinda just came back to make the score look close). This line tells is these teams are pretty much exactly even and this line would be pk on a neutral court (maybe NC St -1). I tend to agree there, and just think this is nice spot for a Geo Tech win @ home. Remember that they almost beat NC St on the road earlier in the year, but lost in OT. Gotta ride them getting revenge at home here.
Minnesota to me is a better team than Penn St. They let me down by playing like absolute crap @ home vs Indiana during the week (still won by DD though), but this is a game they will be up for. I said about a week and a half ago Penn st would be a team to fade and that they were getting way too much love when I placed my GOY play on Michigan vs them, and since they have gotten killed by Michigan, beat easily at home vs Wisconsin and killed by Purdue. People will say this is a nice rebound spot for them, but I don't buy it. This team can play well at times, but they really aren't a good team and shouldn't even be in the 65 team tournament this year. If they are they will be the #1 fade in the first round. Minnesota isn't a lock for the tournament just yet, so they know a road win here would look nice on their resume.
Will have more, this is all I have locked in though.
