wednesday ncaa hoops: another strong one ........

[gman2]

buffalo tried to piss the game away but got it done. 4-1 tuesday pending southern cal late night on the island.

wednesday:

**strong** toledo rockets (+4)
**strong** toledo rockets moneyline

butler bulldogs (-4.5)

missouri tigers (+17.5)

delaware hens (+10)

final add: washington/wyoming 1st half under 53

cougars have no reason to abandon their stall-ball offense, as its helped them rattle off a couple wins in a row. wyoming is another one of those teams that plays to the pace of the opposition. really think theyre gonna get sucked right into this shotclock game wsu plays

I thought about Mizzou - but fact is they are even worse than you can imagine. If Illini shows up to play it will be ugly.

 

[gman2]

ST:

is it just me or is this years missouri/illinois game a lot earlier in the schedule than normal? is it always played before christmas break? isnt it in early january normally? put it this way -- this is my one shot with mizzou. if they cant get it done here getting a shitload of pts in a neutral court rivalry, then im not gonna bother trying to figure em out in conference. ill just leave em alone. giving quinn and the boys one shot. btw- following you on will/mary. gl

 

[Sun Tzu]

No its usually around xmas or right after

GL gman. I might follow that Toledo play. Auburn lives and dies by the 3. They were in foul trouble today, and 3 games in 3 days will be tough.

 

[oldschoolcapper]

gman,

good luck on everything but toledo, lol.

toledo has an advantage because they were able to rest their starters in the 2nd half today. (no player played over 23 min), while Auburn had all 5 starters log 28+ minutes.

if the game stays close, auburn will have to fight fatigue and a short bench.

i've ridden my tigers the last 2 days, so i'll ride them once more.

Good calls today G. Congratulations. May tail you tomorrow with toledo: make one more contribution. I am off in capping (never was very good) so I am just going to follow for a few days. Plus, I have family coming tomorrow and really cannot study lines.

Appreciate your plays and wish you a great holiday season.

Bill

toledo moneyline is +150

and this is purely a gut feeling play:

delaware hens (+10)
mtsu played very well against toledo and auburn, but im just not sure if theyre gonna have the motivation to blow out the hens with both playing their 3rd game in 3 days. on paper, sure mtsu should roll. but psychologically, when youve played auburn and toledo within the L48 hrs, its easy to go through the motions on the final game of the tourney. not a pretty play by any stretch but think its the way to go.

gman mizzou/illini is alway before xmas usually the wed. before i usually go but staying home this year. best of luck

 

[Tupac]

looks like a lot of action is coming in on Toledo. Line is dropping

Gman, the Mizzou game is always the week before Christmas. I hope you reconsider your wager on the tigers. Illinois will probably be my largest wager of the year. Half of it will be on the Illini for the first half. I have watched almost all of the Mizzou games this year and they flat out suck. They have no leadership, no one wants the ball at crunch time. They absolutely live and die with the three. This is an important game for the Illini as the game is in St. Louis at the Savis Center. Both teams recruit heavily in the St. Louis area. My only worry is if Illinois really comes to play. They should not be looking ahead as they play Longwood at home on the 27th and Northwestern St. on the 30th. As far as the crowd goes I would expect it to be 70% to 30% in favor on the Illini, and I really expect them to be making the most noise.

Great call on Toledo, rode the ML with ya. Nice to have an early winner.

 

[NySportsfan]

good job G, tailed you there, nice little run you've been on........toledo started slow today, auburn got a little cold predictably b/c of fatigue, toledo made just enough plays to hold em off, but I'll take it, I didnt venture into $ line territory thought itd be close but it paid off........Couldnt believe Buff let psu back into it last night especially with Battle doing NOTHING until the last play of the game, basically cage and bortz carried em, but a w's a w, good luck and enjoy reading your stuff on here

Great start to the day Gman - Nice call on ML. Good luck tonight.

Any thoughts on Georgetown -8? I don't know much about LBS, but think Gtown has the edge on the inside and the boards here. Of course Gtown has been learninig to Hula for 2 days now also. Thanks
