poor 1-2 last night, plays all mediocre in retrospect. 77-62-2 overall. big slate today; here's a few early ones:
virginia -4: while browsing the sports pages came up with the word of the day that took me back to my days in german class at nc state:
schadenfreude (scha' dun fre duh) - 1. to take malicious pleasure in the suffering of others; 2. feeling that overwhelms one when noticing the tarheel fans slinking away when the conversation shifts to acc basketball.
sorry, it's the wolfpacker slipping out in me; i feel so guilty (not). tarheels without their smugness are just bad. if cavs start 0-3 in the acc they won't be able to dig out of that hole. virginia actually plays well of late in the dean dome and heels are learning how to lose with indifference. i see something akin to the wake game.
davidson +1-: furman lost last two, three of last four because of serious shooting slump, 39% fg. davidson 6-2 s/u, 5-1 ats on the road, playing good d holding opponents to 38% shooting last five games. wildcats have won last nine in this series.
w mich -2: it ain't working out for c mich this year, last win was 12/2. chippewas have lost last 6, 8 of last 10, and are 0-5 s/u, 0-4-1 ats on the road. they have covered one game this year by a half point. w mich in a shooting slump of their own lately should get well here against c mich d giving up 84 ppg, 50% fg, 41% 3 pt in their last five. big rivalry game with packed house, not a good situation for chippewas in their current state.
vandy +10: gators just a little overrated imo coming off overtime scare @ tenn. 'dores coming off tough back-to-back conf road losses at ala and ga should be ready for fla at home, where they have won 4 of last 5 vs gators, 3 of them as dogs. vandy as good as tennessee, and fla was overlayed giving 6 in knoxville, 10 hard to justify here. might even sneak in a small moneyline play here if i can get some nice odds.
be back later with more.
