Naj's cbb pick of the weekend

[NajdorfDefense]

Second nonsystem pick of the year [first was Air Force for +5 units as pick of the Month.]

St Joe's -1 2 units.
at PSU.

This game opened at +1 and is still moving away from the Hawks. Spoken to some of my PSU fanboys and they agree with me that PSU will lose this one at home today. Both teams beat Bucknell, PSU by 3 and Joe's by 10, but PSU lost to SUNY-Stony Brook at home by 8, which is inexcusable, wins over Morehead and GBoro not impressive.

2 units on the Hawks, may add to 3.
1-0, +5 units ytd.

I'm a huge Penn State football fan (note my avatar), so I get some hoops news as well. St. Joe's should be a lock, the Nittany Lions are terrible.

ACK this looked like alock with 1 minute left. wtf.

Some horrendously bad luck in this one, sadly.
STJ up by 7 with 1:04 to play. PSU goes on a run, guy banks in a 27'ft 3-pter accidentally, Hawks miss 3 of 4 FTs, [including 2 front-end 1 and 1s,] and Ahmad Nivins goes in for game-tying layup with 3 secs left, is fouled but uncalled and Martelli got T'd up.

Ugh, a blown 7pt lead in final minute. WTF?
1-1 ytd, +1.9 units.

Not sure this will make you feel better, but as a Penn State fan I found the audio of Phil Martelli's post-game presser to be hilarious. It runs 5:31. Enjoy.

I love Martelli.
