I'm leaving tomr. afternoon for a few days to NY HS's March Madness in Glen Falls.I get to be with all my fellow coaches in the state at our conference.Drink a little beer,tell some lies among each other and watch the best HS games in the land.Will miss Ben Gorden this yr but I got to see him enough playing for Conn.Last yr I saw Jason Frazier the 6'10 kid from Amitiville.He is the best big man I've seen in 25 yrs.He is up there this weekend.
I 'll post some games now since I won't have any access to a computer.
I luv 2 games both on Friday.
Wisky -2 over the Johnnies.Watched the Johnnies practice yest on TV and listened to them on the radio.They are just happy to be dancing.Wisky plays much better defense,has more shooters and will only have to shut down 1 player.{Hatten]Johnnies at home were 17-1.On the road they won 3 games.They cannot shoot the ball.Wisky got hot at the end of the season going 6-0-1 ats.What Bo's team does on a consistent basis is play defense.On nites when the offense isn't clicking there defense is so fundamentally sound.
Luv Wisky here at -2. Big play for me.
Texas -5.5 over Boston Col
Luv texas here.I won't bore you about Skinner and his coaching. He has no clue whats going on.His players offense is basically free lance with a few down screens.And they can't screen.Unreal.Thats why Bell gets no good looks and has to force.Syndey gets a lot of free looks because he shoots about 5 feet out from his range.So teams let him shoot out there.A lot of talent but they all play "soft".
Texas is tough.TJ Ford is the best pt gd in the tourney.Sorry Dickie V and Duke.He penetrates and creates.Texas is bigger,stronger,quicker,and will control the bds.Texas flexes its mucles.They should dominate on defense and control the bds.Their one weakness was outside shooting but they now can stick the jumpers.Thomas inside will cause mucho problems for Agabi.Mouton,Ivy,freddie and TJ will be way to much for BC to handle.BC has no depth.barnes plays 8 or 9 guys.
And their playing this game in Dallas. Luv Texas to win this by double digits. Another big play.
No time to write these up.
Strong plays.
Hawaii Bows +2 over XU. A-10 was weak this yr.West is a stud but the Bows play defense and "god" can they play offense.I see XU having matchup problems all day.
Notre Dame pk over Char.
Just think ND creates matchup problems with their outside game.
Valpariso +7.5 over kentucky
it seems to be a popular upset team to select.I wanted it to be my own pick but the whole world is on it now.But I'm staying with it.Valpo can lite it up and I think they keep this close.
USC -10.5 over my UNC-Wilming
I hate going against the Seahawks.Just think their gd play is somewhat in trouble.An SC is loaded and has depth.Think Wilm stays with them for awhile and then Clancy and co pull out.
Pitt -12.5 over central conn.Thats with or w/o Knight.Pitt defense and inside game causes matchup problems everywhere.
WKU +3.5 over stanford
WKU has the aircraft carrier.Has some destroyers, a great PT boat,and enough anti aircraft guns to shoot down the Birds.
Murray St +9 over georgia on my mind
SIU +2.5 and there defense to send Knight back to Lubbock.
Should be back on sunday.Hope everyone does good this weekend.Maybe someone can bump this up if it gets lost on page 4 for fridays game. GL....thank you
