MARQUETTE -10.5(Best Bet)
OKLAHOMA STATE -1.5
VIRGINIA +1.5
LSU +6
Marquette-Houston's 3rd game in 3 days so their legs will be a little tired. That spells trouble for them as they go up against a solid Marquette club that handled Louisville with relative ease on Thursday. Marquette plays great defense(I don't think Houston will score more than 55pts.) and should be able to run the floor against a tired bunch of Cougars. Marquette 78 Houston 53.
Oklahoma State-Should be a close game but I feel that the Cowboys are playing better ball as of late. Rested team vs. a team that had to play a tough game 24hrs. ago. Tech's win yesterday locked up the NCAA bid so they might be a little down for this one. I think Oklahoma State the right play here.
Virginia-Have lost money on Virgina for most of the year so they owe me. The Cavaliers have lost to the Wolfpack twice this year so they do have the revenge factor in their favor. More importantly Virginia knows that they must win today to make the "Big Dance". N.C. State's a very good team but I think Virginia will play for their NCAA Tournament lives today. Virginia 75 N.C. State 70.
LSU-This scrappy bunch of Tigers have played well against the Bulldogs over the years and in their only meeting this year almost beat them losing by 1pt. Much has been made of the fact that this is like a home game for Georgia but I don't see it that way. In the vast Georgia Dome it takes a while for the shooters to find their range. I think that's a big advantage for LSU as they have one game there under their belt. Don't know if the Tigers can pull off the upset but they should stay inside the number.
Back later today with some plays on the night action. As Always, GLTA!!!
