Hudson Valley area.....NY
Ohio St -2 over Creighton *
Bucks beat a good Cinncy team..Jays are looking for Foster..."hello,anybody seen Foster.".we need him on offense esp with about 20 seconds on the clock.{ did he make the NBA ??} Thomas too watched Jays almost lose to ETSU the other nite..think Bucks have a solid pt gd a good frontcourt...

Delaware +2.5 over Cornell *
Red have the best player in the Ivy in Morgan and playing at home..Blue has 2 scorers and think they are the overall better team..

Troy -1.5 over So Miss *
Miss beat SMoo the other nite..but Troy lost to Pitt and St Louie..at home Varnardo Hicks and company get a win and cover..

Zaga -16.5 over Tex AM **
Both teams will be missing there top players..Glider for AM and Tillie for Zaga...but Zaga can replace Tillie.. Clark and Hachi inside..Perkins is unreal...rebounding,defense,etc AM lost to Irvine shooting 6-28 from the 3..that won't cut it vs Bullgogs.Gilder is a huge loss for the Aggies...

Bama -4 over Northeastern **
Huskis have a great gd tandem in Roland and Pusicia...Bama is living life w/o Sexton..but had a frosh gd that is really good...but the front court is so athletic and quicker...think Bama wins the war in the paint and scores inside..

Central Fl -4.5 over cal Ful **
UCF stumbled and lost to FAU by 10...they have BJ a big time scorer and Taco at 7'3...maybe they needed to wake up...Cal has one superstar in Alman and 2 other returning starters but think CF is quicker and is susposed to be a better defensive team

West Vir -19.5 over Monmouth ****
1st half WV -11 **
Hawks are bad...they are 0-3 can't shoot or play defense they are shooting 26% from the 3...they are struggling to make a basket...so tonite you get West Vir who is coming off an overtime loss to Buffalo ...they are still trying to get used to living w/o Carter who did 95% of the scoring and 100% of the defense..now with a few games under their belt Huggy Bear is figuring it out...West,Ahmed,Konate,etc are way to much for the Jersey Coast boys to handle..Huggy will press the entire game and Hawks can't score when there is no pressure so imagine with pressure..blow out game of the nite..

Oregon -4 over Iowa *
Bol,Bol,Bol and outside shooting at MSG in NYC

UConn +8 over Cuse *
Also at Oranges 2nd home MSG...Cuse loaded with the 2 B's Chuk in the middle,etc.. but think Adams and Smith with Vital might keep this closer...still growing pains for the Huskies and won't have the NY crowd behind them but just maybe they give the Cuse a game tonite..

E-4 thanks for response...
My philosophy of sports gambling is this..I said this story many times so I'm sorry to bore anyone
\ When I was 16 my buddies I went to Yonkers Raceway to bet the trotters... as we walked in the track there was a heavy set guy with an Italian t-shirt sitting in a small booth selling programs..looked like Danny Devito but bigger...he had the programs on his table and to both sides he had the Orange Trotter and Blue Trotter which was handicapping in race and predicting the winner tonite...they were from the nite before so each one had about 4 or 6 red circles showing that those horses that won...so I asked him " sir,which one is better the Orange or the Blue"..? this was probably the most important question of my life and have used it at many of my graduations speeches,faculty meetings etc... his answer was " sonny,if I knew which one of these F-king sheets was better do you think I would be sitting my fat ass here selling this BS to you" I gave him a Buck and took the Orange one:..but I thought about that as I caught up with my boys...it was a lifetime message
that still sits with me today...if I knew what I was doing with tonites games I would be in the Caymons on a beach ..My financial guy back in NY is 70 yrs old..he has my wife and I saving..Investments ,401 k or b's..what ever..but why i he still working..if he knew what he was doing he would be on the caymons...
Anyway most of us here in sport gambling think we know but if we can get about 55% in wins were doing ok...
I have been trying to get to the Caymons for many years...how I got to Austin I have no idea..maybe 2 kids here and some grandchildren...take care...sorry to bore many of you

yest was 2-2 [ -0.20*}
