Huskies vs Longhorns

[Box and one]

UConn -6 over Texas ****
Finals in MSG in NYC. Texas is happy to be playing with last second winning shot over louisville Meanwhile Huskies blew out Indiana by 20. Uconn has gds like Newton who can pass and pass. They had over 18 assists in last game. They move the ball around and can out rebound any team they face. Texas is loaded with talent but after watching there last few games they miss Carr their pt gd from last year. They are athletic and quick but they are facing a much better team then they did last night vs louisville . Think Texas is happy to be in NYC and in the finals but still celebrating last nights win after being an 18 pt favorite and winning on the last second. Texas has a lot of talent but Hurley has this team really playing smart IQ style of play. They pass,rebound,hit the perimeter shot and play outstanding defense. Texas heads area little swollen today and UConn is ready for them. Still think Texas misses Carr at the pt who penetrated and broke down defenses. The vir transfer Shadrick is tough inside but think Newton is the best player out there today.

Purdue -3-5 over Zaga ***
Zaga will have to sag on Edey but Purdue perimeter players are shooting the lite out. Zaga will have trouble on defense , Double down on Edey or let the Purdue shooters shoot. As good as Zaga is they have a problem matching up. Painter will put his shooters so the in and out play or out and in will be tough to stop.

Kentucky -16 over St Joes ***
St Joes a heavy favorite get beat by East Texas St which is now Tex AM in Commerce. One block from the basketball gym my wifes brother has the building named after him. Think Kentucky wins big today and St Joes is still figuring out how they lost to the Lions of East Tex st the other day


Stoney Brook -3 over Rider **
Both teams can't play defense. Rider coach has the talent but doesn't know how to use it . Seawolves win a close game
NY Giants won yesterday but I didn't play them .Getting a second opinion on my bile duct that goes into the pancreas " although they see something " suspicious" and there not sure if its cancer after they already scoped me with a camera they are suggesting a " whipple procedure. " That is a 5 hour operation that takes out a tip of your pancreas some small intestines and a 5 day stay in the hospital. I googled whipple surgery and I shouldn't of. Anyway going to call MD Anderson in Houston to get a second opinion..Damn getting old sucks good luck today

wife is on the phone with MD Anderson for 2nd opinion. Doctor says don't google Whipple surgery" But of course I do .. damn doctor was right . I was in the hospital for 5 days they put a stent in my bile duct thinking it could be a stone left over from my gall bladder removed 10 years before. When the surgeon met with my wife,2 kids ,2 other kids via computer video and myself he explained all the options. They don't see cancer but the lining of the bile is suspicious they did an ercp already sending a scope down to take pictures ..they really are not sure but maybe do another ercp to see if bile duct that looks suspicious is from my gall bladder stones left over from years ago They did find some stones . The new ecpr could come out with the same results so then they will do the " whipple" Anyway not looking forward to surgery since its a 5 hour operation . will keep you posted thanks for the comments here

Hey Box, Been a long time! I'm sorry to hear that you are having health issues. Hope they resolve without surgery. I am going for surgery on the 12th
for bladder cancer. 5 to 7 hours. My cancer is an aggressive small cell in the muscle but not yet metastatic so my attack will also be aggressive. Back to CT. I like em and when they get Castle back they'll be a force. I hope all is well with your family. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Box, really hope things go your way bud, you have always been on my bucket list of Madjackers to meet in person. Will never forget as I have said many times on here before wagering a very large amount at the time for me on an Iona game that you had seven boxes and was a "Love game, line was way off". We were in Vegas at the time and I told my wife to go bet it, handed her 7 hundy, she looked at me like I was crazy. She said "what are you doing??????" and I said, "Angela, it is a Love game, trust me and trust Box and One", and she was like, "trust a guy you know on the internet and don't even know his real name??" I said "his name is Tony and he is a Principal in schools and a Coach". Happy I knew your real name or she would not have probably made the wager, . I wanted her invested to watch the game with me at Paris sportsbook after our dinner at Mon Ami Gabi. It won by 15 points, Angela freaked out, and to this day, she asks how Box is doing, does he have any "Love games?". Just shared this news and she is rooting for you like she knows you as am I. I told her there will be another Love game someday with 7 boxes, just havent seen one in a few years from you, and you know I always remind you. Get well friend.
