finished the weekend 12-7 hitting 64 percent. many many games were enjoyable, but none more so than the stanford/stjoes game.
total on this game opened at 162 and was quickly driven up to 166.
still, at 166 see lots of value on this game.
starting with duck:
-in 21 of their 35 games to date, the boo devils have hit 91 or more pts.
-vs ranked opponents, duck is averaging 85 ppg
-vs ranked opponents, duck is allowing 82 ppg
with ucla:
-in 19 of their 31 games to date, da brooins have hit 79 or more.
-vs ranked opp, uclah is averaging 81 ppg.
-vs ranked opponents, ucla is allowing 82 ppg
both teams love to run (brain surge their i'm sure), both teams love to shoot the 3s, and with boozer being back in the lineup, this will give the boo devils more options to play the inside out game which coach K loves to much.
the matchups
two matchups to watch and drool over:
earl watson vs jason williams
an espn classic "hi-lite" waiting to happen. both love to drive to the hole, and both love to fire the three...BUT, watson turns the ball over way way too many times, and that leads to easy pts off fast breaks.
jason kapono vs shane-shane battier
espn will make shane the next mj or the next president of the united states with all the publicity they give shane.
truth be told though, kaponos stats are as equal to if not better than shane-shanes.
both shoot the 3ball incredibly well, hitting 42 percent. both rebound, assist and shoot fts incredibly well. both are their teams "go-to-guy" and both will play pivotal roles in this game going over the number.
this game should hit the 175-185 range and undoubtedly will be the most enjoyable to watch this weekend.
duke will win this game,imo. they are not a deep team, but then again who needs to be when you have the starting 5 they do.
duck 95 ucla 82
enjoy the game thursday everyone, but play the over and cheer with me.
luck to everyone
