Tuesday hoops

[Box and one]

Kansas St -4.5 over Ok St ***
After watching K-st beat baylor in OT from row 10 and watching on TV Texas holding OK st to 45 points I'm taking the Purple Hawks. Nowell the player I watched have a melt down a few yrs ago vs tex St is playing like the best player in the B-12. The other night vs baylor he was unstoppable scoring 32 points and 14 assists. A few nights before that he single handily destroyed Texas . His outside shot is deadly and his out of control penetration has defenses collapse on him and he just dishes to the open man .. Think Cowboys have to figure out how to stop this waterbug But KSU has this kid Keyonte Johnson who I think is the best player in the gym tonight. I know the coach hit the transfer portal and has juco's and transfers but the Wildcats are for real . Their front court has size all over. But when you have a Nowell at the point who can shoot,penetrate run you offence teams have to adjust on the other end and Nowell can do his thing anywhere He did it in Austin and Waco the past few nights

ISU -5.5 over Tex Tech **
Kent -4.5 over Toledo **
CSU -8 over AF **
Nev +7.5 over San D St **
Dayton -8 over Fordham ***
Flyers play outstanding defense Holmes and Camera are 6'10 and 6'8 . Rams are surprising everyone and at home Quinsberry on fire . Have trouble scoring and with Dayton D it will be tougher.

OK Box, it is time to get hot in college hoops. I am headed to Vegas next Wednesday thru Monday and have 2 great memories with you while there. Back in the day when you were pretty unstoppable in college hoops you would play 2 boxes up to some very rare 7-8 boxes games, and on this occasion there was a 7 box game while there. I told Angela you were on a roll, and this was a no-brainer. I was only a 2 hundy/game bettor, but this time I gave Angela 5 times that for this game. She looked at me like I had 3 eyes, and they each had a sty on them. She was like "I could play slots for a month on that amount" and I was nervous. We ate outside at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris so I couldn't watch the game. The Fav was the play, at about -5 or -7, can't remember that detail. Anyhow we finished early dinner and I asked her to go to the back to the Book at Paris, just walk to the window, and either collect or they tell you it was a loser. Neither of us looked at the score beforehand. She said one of her biggest "rush moments" was handing the ticket, and the lady teller then reached into her money and handed her 900.90. The game covered by 20 we later found out. Will never forget her face, it was priceless. I know that is pennies to a lot on here as their biggest live wager, but for Angela she called it 1/3 of a mortgage payment. She took half of course, and wagered on 25 cent slots versus 5 cent slots the rest of the week. Reason I wrote this is she asked a little while ago, "how is Box and One doing this year". Made me smile. Good luck Sir.

That’s a good story Wineguy and Box is the man
in hoops when he’s rolling!!! Def love to see him
get hot!!!! And love getting picks with lots of boxes
but none of those touched when he would say he “loves”
a game!!!!! When I saw the word Love I usually
unloaded and came up winners a lot more than
Losers !!!

Agreed Coach, and this definitely had Love in his write up too. That was the key. Like I have always told Tony, when he had "Love" written it was 80-85% in your bank account the next day.
