wow...sorry about the UTSA game and all the others...no excuses...went to the box score and tried to figure out what happened...they were leading at first...then collapsed...and I forgot to add these teams played each other in a scrimmage before the season and UTSA dominated...also lost Kentucky,Nev,Texas AM and Zaga...a coin flip would of given me better odds...and this morning playing racquetball went 0-3...wish I could make this up.. but need to rebound or get a basket someplace...lost my prop bets too...only have Texas Tech left to win it all..
Nova -5 over West Vir ***
To many players can put the ball on the floor...for Nova...they also play good defense...WV has Carter but think he is going to be working so hard on defense his offense will slow down...if Nova brings it A game they win by +10..problem is in this tourney some teams aren't bringing there A game or defenses are playing so good they have no A game...
Texas Tech +2 over Purdue **
I think TT had the best B-12 team in the conf until Evans went down....this is a solid team with some bigs inside who can rebound..Evans can do so much with the ball...this should be a great game to watch...
Cuse +11 over Duke **
Duke could blow them away but Boes's 2-3 is giving everyone problems...he is moving his wings out there on the perimeter and just about slowing everyone down... Bagley of course is a nightmare at the post...he can come up and play high or post low.....weakness is the middle so Bagley should attack the zone from behind...Dukies do have some shooters...the problem with Cuse is..if you figure out how to attack it and start hitting Cuse can't change there defense..it stays 2-3...the irony is that Duke is also in a 2-3 zone...will take the double digits even though Duke will win..
KU -5 over Clemson **
Clemson playing so good.. KU has there big guy back...and Devonte has 3 other players that can penetrate the hoop...
Woman
Baylor -15 over Ore St **
Bears despite losing a starter are so good... a few yrs ago OSU got an upset win in the tourney...don't think today.. Bears have scorers,speed and play solid defense..
Texas -4 over UCLA ***
Longhorns have 3 outstanding gds in Higgs,Atkins and McCarty..they all avg the same around 13-14 pts..McCarty is a waterbug at 5'4 and just plays like she is on
red bull" the entire game...never stops...but inside they have a post player and fd in White and Holmes...these 2 rebound...they rank No 2 in the nation in rebounding...Texas played even with Zona St the other day for the 1st half...but almost doubled them on rebounds.. UCLAi s seeded 3rd right behind Texas and has one of the top gds in the country in Canada..they are a much smaller team then the Longhorns...the Bruins have to keep the Longhorns front line in check..and that's where they will be in trouble...
North Texas is playing in the CBI finals..they beat Mercer and Jacksonville so far..they open up I think tomorrow night at San Fran at +3...they are starting 2 players that were hurt or didn't play all year and both are avg around 20 pts a game...its a 3 game series...its North Texas's 1st post season win since the 1940's...

0-5 -17*'s
pretty,pretty bad...bad..and bad..
raquetball friday morning
0-3
15-6,15-11 and 15-14
also on Friday we all go out together to have breakfast ...Dan's Hamburgers place.. I love biscuits, sausage and gravy...but the last couple of weeks have refrained from that because of Lent....but after watching Sister Jane from Loy Chi praying and cheering I'll be damn if I'm giving up my biscuits and gravy...you can't beat a nun..think I would of learned a that long time ago...
and when I came home this morning the 1st thing my wife asked me was " you didn't eat meat today,right"...and
I looked at her and said " of course not honey"...
good luck today..again sorry if I influenced some of you towards UTSA...and the others..need a few rebounds and hopefully get a few today...
