Tuesday NCAA

[Tanko]

Was asked why Florida and Illinois---here's my synopsis

Florida is easy here, Fla only lost by 5 on the 21st AT bama (and should have won after being late and failing at the very end), and situationally, UF NEEDS this game worse than Bama for a quad 1 win. Gators offense should score at ease against a Tide defense that gives up 88.6 points in road games.

Illinois also pretty evenly matched as Illinois only lost by 5 on the road last game. Purdue simply doesnt put teams away especially on the road and the Boilermakers are dipping into the 45.5% shooting now and scoring only 77.1 pts per game. Illinois is one of the few teams in the country avg more Pts per than Purdue at 84.8 points per, which is 7th nationally. The fighting illinis also led the big 10 in Offensive rebounds, at almost 13 offensive boards a game. They also shoot the rock well at 47.4% FG and 35.4% from 3 and nearly 75% from the FT line. Illinois is +8.8 in rebounding and -1.8 in turnovers (compared to Purdue at a similar -1.5).

If Illinois wants to have a share of the conference title, they have to win this game and at home, to get revenge. What better way than at home on Senior night?

Sorry I dont have as much time for the big writeups like So Fla but that's what i had in my notes last night.

Nice write up. Thanks.
I'm on the opposite of both.

Thank you buddy, Wife called says shes ok, officer didnt arrest lady (Barney Fife should have gotten her on driving with no tags and inurance and for child endangerment having kids and uninsured)....he did issue her a ticket to appear in General court the county over with my wife as a witness, and he has her on recording admitting fault and what she did. This tells me she is facing some criminal charges at least. Will know more when she gets back soon.

yes they are, if i shift the order with later plays I will notate it like with nba last night. It doesnt happen often, only once in past month when I raised a later play on Nebraska vs Minnesota last sunday late, or days with a lot of games like saturday or tourney days

Thanks for the explanation.

I noticed that you hit 4 out of your 5 Top plays in your 1st post but you had additional Top plays in additional posts. Those were the ones I was asking about, not any shifted ones. I just wanted you to know which ones I was asking about.

Thanks again, and continued great capping!

Very intrigued by Nevada/Boise matchup, with Boise at home who beat this team by 8 and has been blowing teams out lately. They have 5 straight blow-out wins by Double digits or more (10, 31, 92, 32, and 24) all against conference foes, as well Boise has beaten this Nevada team earlier this year in Reno by 8 and 15 in last year's matchup, and have won 6 of the last 7 overall. Boise has covered now 5 straight game. I have Boise-10 by my estimates again, hopefully not missing anything. Interesting matchup may have a play later.

Detroit Mercy/UW Milwaukee Over 152-115
Auburn/Missouri Over 149

Is it just me or do dogs seem to do better later on in the year in NCAAB? I feel like every year chalk is king for the first few months and then once March hits it shifts.

 

[piratealew]

totals went to heck tonight and a few others, at least florida is taking care of biz and SFLA and UGA did, hopefully these later games will do so.
A little colder today so could be some fades in late games. Wacky night.

Trying another over with 2 high octane offenses that should score a lot more than previous game and another are under. Must be glutton for punishment today.

Nevada/Boise OVER 141-118

San Diego State/UNLV UNDER 136.5
