Tanko 3/10/22 CBB Picks

[Tanko]

Way too many games to cap today so I'm just posting my plays without the entire write-up.

Start it off with TCU+5.5-1110 BOL
TCU playing exceptionally well lately. The only exception to this was against W. Virg. BUT, W.Virg has decided to start playing good basketball lately so maybe that wasn't as big a let down for TCU as expected.

Texas is playing well too, but +5.5 is nice to have in a game that I anticipate will be tight.

Good luck, Tanko! Not sure why but I really like West Virginia today…

Thanks CK. Busy day. There's like a 100 games to look through in CBB.

Good luck, Tanko! Not sure why but I really like West Virginia today…

They are getting it together late in the season. They fade in 2nd half (not against K-State yesterday) but they seem to be getting strong lately. I think they will scare KU today. I like the +10 but I might go 1st half just in case they do their 2nd half letdown they are known for.

East Carolina +5.5-108 BOL vs Cincy

I like the pirates. They have kept all their games lately close and either win or lose by a couple. The Wichita St. game (last Saturday) was a fluke in my opinion. The pirates were without Suggs who was suspended for the game but he returns today vs Cincy.

Cincy meanwhile, over the last couple of weeks, has either lost to good teams by a lot (e.g. Houston) or lost outright to teams that are on par with E. Carolina .

tanko is SHARP in my opinion

i remember him being up there in Pick6 contest

I thought he relied on numbers when reviewing his picks

seeing these threads makes me realize i was wrong and maybe major sports are still beatable by capping






































THAT IS MY NICE COMMENT FOR THE WEEK, but i think it is pretty true

Akron +3-115 BOL vs Buffalo

Akron has been taking care of business the last couple of weeks. They've been readily beating the teams they should by the margins expected. The exception is the Cent Mich game last Friday. They had to come from behind in the 2nd half to pull out a win in the last minute. I see this as a positive since it should serve as a wakeup call for the team. They were supposed to crush CMU and played like crap. I'm going to say they got it out of their system.

Buffalo had a great run of 9 wins before finishing with 2 losses against pretty good teams. At first it sounds like a good team BUT they haven't covered in their last 6 games against good and bad conference teams. It seems as though the public has higher expectations for this team than they are able to provide. I think its happened again for the game against Akron

 

[Tanko]

TCU has decided to STOP scoring.
I guess they want to make the comeback more exciting.

 

[Tanko]

Iowa -4.5-110 vs Northwestern (First Half)

 

[Tanko]

1st half W. Virg +5.5-110 BOL vs Kansas

W. Virg is coming on strong lately but over the entire season they've had a tendency to fade in 2nd half (excluding the K-State game yesterday). I think they kive KU a run and I'm taking 1st half + pts just in case they revert to their old ways and stop playing as strong in the 2nd half.

Good Luck.

Summary of picks so far
TCU+5.5
ECU+5.5
Akron +3
Iowa -4.5 1H
W. Virg +5.5 1H

 

[Tanko]

TCU down by 18 at half comes back and wins outright.
Wow. Crazy winner.

 

[Tanko]

ECU pissed it away in the last 2 min.
It was back and forth all game and a 1 point difference with 2 min left.
Tough loss.

 

[Wagerallsports]

E Carolina now underway

TCU down by 18 at half comes back and wins outright.
Wow. Crazy winner.

Nice call

 

[Tanko]

Akron winner
Iowa 1st half winner.

 

[Tanko]

W. Virg 1H lost.

3-2 on the day is not going to pay the bills.
Need to see if there is any edge on upcoming night games.
