Thursday hoops

[Box and one]

UTSA -3.5 over Mid Tenn *****
Roadrunners are 4-0 in conf USA just knocking off North Texas in a buzzer beater...MT is on a losing streak and has trouble scoring and playing defense...MT defense is going to have big time troubles stopping Jhivvan and Wallace at the gds...both can shoot and penetrate...Jhivvan just attacks and attacks..sometimes out of control but is the best player in the gym..DeNick is a solid 2 gd that can pass and shoot..this 3 gds offense is tough to stop..inside Allen has improved at the post...Frohen is the 6'6 power fd that has the ability to rebound and interior passing...you cannot call this team a "sleeper " team..Coaches in the conference know this is a team to be feared...Wallace was 2-11 from the 3 the other day vs North Texas..that is not happening again...all this kids started last yr...then throw in 6"7 Boir off the bench to rebound...they they have some depth...if Jhivvan can keep his head together they win by 6-10 pts on the rd...you can see the support this kid gets by his coach and teammates...

Sun Conf
Texas St -8 over URLR *
over 140.5 *
Going to the game...hate giving Tx that many points because they don't beat anyone by a lot...small play so I can cheer for them tonite..always like the under but think last yr the score was 72-70...think it just goes over by a few...

Ga South -2 over Troy **

Tookie by an eyelash even though they didn't show up vs La Laf.. I like the Crawley kid too..



Ga St -5 over So Bama **
Has Simonds settled down and made up with the asst coach..or has the asst coach been fired since he can't hit a jumper...

MAAC
Canisius +2 over Quinn **
they beat Siena and then lose 3 in a row...Molson and Reese are still the 2 best players out there...but Quinn must have the next best 5..think Griffs get their act together..

Niagara +4.5 over Siena **
If Purple gds can help Prochet and Robb inside think they best the Saints..new Siena coach with his new style offense is making people in Albany happy...but think Purple can win or at least cover

Fairfield +2 over Monmouth **
Stags have alot of talent in Cruz,Alvarez Taliaferro and Kasibubu by himself inside.. Hawks won 2 in a row though.

St Peter -6 over Manhattan **
Peter is 2-2 and has 3 returning starters in Taylor,Turner and Idowu.. MC scored 21 pts in teh 1st half the other day...Monmouth beat them 65-48...no offense vs a good defense..

South Dak pk over Oral Roberts ***
last yr beat them 85-67..see the same almost..they have 4 starters back losing Mooney

Zaga -24 over Loy Mary **
Clark,Norville and Hachi..way to much..think Zaga wins by 30

Best Play
UTSA
Been hitting air ball this past week..I took UNLV -5 over Air Force yest.. UNLV offense would be to much for Air Force...well I was right.. UNLV scored 88 points...but I didn't know UNLV defense would give up 106 to Air force..it broke Mountain Conf records...
yest
1-3 {5.70 }
219-201 {-6,50}

need to rebound tonite..going to see Tx St tonite...good luck

Damn Box, this seems to be a theme that just keeps happening to you. Another top play that just didn't show up. Lazy fouls and a lot of them, refuse to cover the three on defense and can't throw it in the ocean.

Game over at halftime, again.

Enjoy following your plays and honestly hope this shit turns around for you.

Good luck man.

Hope things change for you BOX. Thanks for the effort, but I'm bailing for awhile. Good luck

Got lucky and wiped out that loss with a big 2H bet on UTSA. What a finish. They came close to sending it to OT. MTSU certainly left the door open.

Wish I had done that. But I was thinking about MT in the 2nd half, as bad as UTSA looked in the first half. I learned my lesson once again, rarely play a road team laying points. I hate doing that. Seems it bites me in the ass more often than not.

I thought about doing it myself, but the other games were going so bad didn't want to dig a bigger hole..
