i'm still looking for more games, but the games i'm laying wood too are:

Purdue -3
USC - 2 1/2
winthrop/wazzu over 112 1/2

average wagers on these:
Xavier - 9
Southern Illy/ASU over 116

and a little change on Oral(sup prime) Roberts +350 Winthrop +400 looks like a decent small wager, but i'm staying away!

I got the following...all the same size, I quit making bigger/smaller bets years ago. I decided if it's worth betting, it's worth betting for an equal amount. I've become pretty disciplined sticking to that. Not really sure if it helps or not, but.... :lol:

Georgia +8.5 Xavier is better but Georgia is playing good ball; I just don't think Xavier is that much better than UGA right now...could be wrong of course.

Kentucky +6 Once again, I think UK could win outright, this is as much a fade of Marquette as it is support of Kentucky.

Kansas -22.5 Blatant homer pick...playing games with spreads over 20 is suicide...either way.

Arizona +2 I think Zona is the better team. I may be wrong, but Arizona is capable of playing good ball; I just need them to do it for a full 40 minutes. :shock:

Kent St. -2 I've seen UNLV play several times and they are decent but the only reason they are in this tournament is that the MWC conference tourney is held in Vegas. UNLV is very average. On the other hand, I think Kent is a very capable team. I think Kent wins this game by 10...as usual of course, I could be wrong!


I like USC when it opened at 2 but I didn't get to it in time...now it's 3.5 and I don't like it nearly as much. I think USC could get all the way to the Elite 8 this year, they play great defense and that keeps them in most games....but can't pull the trigger at the present line. I think you have the right side there.

Purdue/Baylor I have no real feel for...I don't think Baylor is good, and they certainly don't believe in playing defense! But Purdue and the Big 10 haven't sold me either. I think Purdue will be VERY good in a year or two, not so sure this year. Gun to my head though, I'd be with you on Purdue.

I don't play totals (well, almost never) so I have no real feeling on Wazzoo and Winthrop O/U. Good luck with that.

Obviously I'm against you on Xavier...one of us will hit, I suppose. Wish we could trade lines on that game! :x We both got the bad line for our sides...

Good luck with ORU, you got a shot there.

I was dead wrong on Kent.....such is life.

Georgia and Kentucky were brutal losses however. UK/Marq is a two point game with 20 seconds left and UGA was in the game the whole way.......sick, sick, sick....just like my whole year.

Oh well, Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Good call on Xavier and Purdue, Adel.....hope your USC and Wazzoo cash tonight.

I'll throw tomorrow's plays up here later.

I added:

Notre Dame -6 and BYU +1 tonight......we'll see.
