Wednesday hoops

[Box and one]

Houston -5.5 over USF ****
USF has won a few in a row and knocked off Memphis at their place...but Houston although young and more inexperienced are playing lites out... KS transfer Grimes can shoot,Jarreau,Mills etc way to much for USF defense to handle.. Coogs just beat them at home a few weeks ago 68-49..can't see a 18 pt difference because of home court..Coogs have to much talent

OU -9.5 over ISU ****
I like this OU team..
Manek is a 6'9 fd that can score inside and outside..Bienemy is an outstanding pt gd..Doolittle at 6'7 and skinny as a pole is electric..scores,attacks and rebounds..throw in Reaves from Wichita who has NBA range..this is one dangerous team in the B-12.. ISU lost Halliburton there top player but did beat K St the other nite..back in Ames a few weeks ago ISU beat OU 81-68.. Halliburton had 15 pts,8 assits 3 steals...well he is not there tonite. the game is in Norman and a little revenge could be in the making. OU wins by double digits..

Nev Reno +2 over UNLV **
Florida -5.5 over Tex AM **

off the beaten path games
Stoney Pt -8.5 over Binghamton **

top play Houston and OU
Laf -1.5 over Army **
Hartford -2.5 over Albany **

Canisius -1 over Niagara ***

Your absolutely right Box. It is all part of the game, I should not have said it that way. Thanks much.

1 tick of the clock and down 6..

doesn't matter what the young kid does they lose so he[Rideau] scores to get his 21 points

if you are picking and choosing games hoping these young men are not gambling on themselves in the game you pick..

why not just give it to charity instead...cuzzzzzzz that's insane at best....

Interesting comment, is that why you bet ladies instead because they would have a harder time finding places to wager on themselves?

I agree my comment was not appropriate at all. Love Box writeups and should have not said it that way. They were going to lose no matter what. It happens to all of us Bad Beats and why SVP has a segment on bad beats on his show. Sorry guys, and I definitely wasn't faulting Box at all. Thanks.

I don't believe these guys or girls after these intense investigations in the NCAA would be dumb enough to throw away playing hoops and gamble on the games.

Just call me naive.

Better yet call me a shrink if I am gambling on games I think they could be shaving.

Hard enough to beat the juice ....now figure out where the money is wasted before the tip.

Insanity at its best..

I wager on Ladies hoops because.

1. The game played below the rim.

2. They are more coachable and follow instructions thus more predictable.

3. The numbers keeping and the consistency of those numbers produces more winners.

4. Most ..again most Ladies teams only go 7 deep for viable talent year to year.Therefore
the star players are easily monitored and their status a little easier to keep up with.

5. More Good teams are coming along but the TOP 10 I have followed for years and even closer these last 3 seasons. You get to know on a better % who they will blowout and wager accordingly.

6. Team..Team..Team...that's all these Ladies know and care about for the most part..
