disappointing 3-5 yesterday, 8-6 overall in tourney play. ain't anything easy about capping postseason, as shown by the large number of bettors' darlings that have taken it on the chin so far. remember to play with restraint so as not to give back what we've worked so hard to get during the regular season. no press ups or "goy" during tourney time - that what the man counts on.
have to go out of town this morning though should be able to return by early aftrnoon to see some hoops action. here's the daytime plays:
penn +4-: the allure of playing the quakers playing in pennsylvania was too much to resist. penn finished the season as strongly as anyone. cal hasn't traveled to the east coast in three and a half months, and last time they did they were pounded by 20 at south fla.
nc state -1-: did anyone doubt that i would be playing this game? homer bias aside, pack is a multifaceted team that has grown as the season has progressed. i am optimistic that the combo of sendek and former ohio hc larry hunter, now a wolfpack asst, will be an edge in tourney preparation.
florida -9-: staying with my commitment to play the sec in the tourney, though laying all these points today and tonight may make me gag. taking comfort in the fact that creighton is without any really significant nonconference road wins. not really concerned with the injury to nelson. this time of year the loose ball and rebounding drills get kind of ugly. probably indicates the gators are getting their minds right.
san diego st +11: majerus let me down last night but i still believe in playing the best coaches this time of year. self is pretty good but fisher is his daddy.
xavier -1: i can here the squeals from here but, as this is probably the best buy we'll see on a top ten quality team, i'll take the plunge.
