last night's warnings prove well founded as all good things come to an end and so did my winning streak with a 1-5 collapse. i swear for some reason i could feel it coming and, in a lucky sense of foreboding, pulled back my presses on everything but the ul laf game to minimize the night's losses. really had no business playing the ohio game as the mac has always confounded me. anyway, now that the streak is broken will drop back my units and games played as tourney time calls for discretion.
going to put this one up now as it will probably be my only play of the night and i expect there's a good chance the line may move upwards today:
boise st -2: this is mainly a play against utep as the miners appear to have packed it in amid talk around el paso of bringing alum nolan richardson in next year. wonder how his act will play in west texas. anyway, utep losers of nine of their last ten with only win coming in el paso against archrival nm state. miners 0-12 on the road this year, 3-10-1 ats. they are 1-2 in neutral site games with the only win away from el paso against miserable northwestern state. one can only wonder how they managed to win that one shooting 31% against a basicly defenseless team. shooting is the bane lately for the miners. roy smallwood has been the team's leading scorer for most of the year but as of late he has virtually disappeared, averaging a mere 5 ppg over the last four. utep's new leading scorer at 13 ppg is guard eugene costello who is shooting 39% from the floor for the year and is a blistering 3 of 33 from 3 point range over the last ten games. boise state improved of late going 4-2 s/u, 4-1-1 ats over the last six. reason for the improvement is that broncos are finally providing some support for all-american stud abe jackson. no coincidence in recent wins that four broncos have scored in dd in three of last five games. bronco defense is probably good enough to hold utep under 70 in this game as miners only average 62 ppg out of el paso. this provides further encouragement as utep only 2-16 s/u when scoring under that number.
waiting on the wky/ul-laf line to come up. if it appraches dd, say-8 or better, may come back with a play on the ragin' cajuns.
gl and, like last night and the rest of postseason, be careful out there.
