Wed NCAAB picks

[bills217]

I don't see why you guys like Kentucky. They haven't beaten a team better than Georgia all year, and they're laying 7 currently? The way Tubby threw the players under the bus after the last (and 4th straight) loss to Vanderbilt, I wouldn't be surprised if Morris, Crawford and Bradley quit on him.

Mercer is out for UGA but they've been playing ok without him and they desperately need this game to have a chance at an at-large bid. They beat Kentucky in Athens in OT, and Kentucky is not playing as well as they were then.

The only thing going for Kentucky is that it's Senior Night, although this Senior class is Kentucky's worst in a long, long time.

I projected this as UK -4, 6-7 is definitely too many IMO. I'm on UGA +6 (oops).

I agree that the UK line doesn't look very attractive at all. Way too inconsistent to be giving 7 points in this matchup.

Am definitely leaning Georgia. Not sure i'll play it though.

Naj's Clemson pick looks interesting and I like his analysis of that one.
Definitely considering it.
Miami is pretty lost.

Clemson having lost 7 of their last 8 doesn't look so hot though. It's interesting because I really do think Clemson is a decent team and they do have a senior-night emotional boost in a pretty rowdy home-court building.

[NajdorfDefense]

Yeah, Miami lost by 16 at VaTech, and Clemente had 20, now he's gone for the year. Averages 10 a game. That's 3 starters missing since the beginning of the year, 2 upfront, and a reserve F as well. Over 30.2 ppg not playing anymore.

Road losses by 5, 11, 16, 41, 19, 19, now missing the PG. Not good!

[MicroBob]

looks like it's moved to -12 at most places though.

Arrrgh, that's a lot of points.
Still finding it tough to pull the trigger on a team that's lost 7 of last 8 to win by 12 or more.

2 on temple -5.5, thinking on Over
1 on Clemson -12
1 on NCSU -5 [beat UNC and VaT, loss MD last 3 at home.] Wake just lost by 14 at GaT.
1 on Texas A&M +2
StJoes +12 is likely decent value.

edit: temple is moving up...can't wait to lose another game that's gone a full pt in my favor!

[foolishdrunk]

I have yet to place a bet, but tonight I am liking

Conn. Pick
Duke -6
NCST -6.5
Horns -1.5 (will hold off and hope to get pick by tipoff)

[New001]

Najdorf, any thoughts on UConn pk?

just played a small parlay on these 5 so you're guaranteed to go 4-1 tonight - congrats

[NajdorfDefense]

I'm running so cold, I just suck this month on cbb. Upping NCSU-5 to 3 units. Thinking about UNM. Hoping to avoid the inevitable collar tonite. Temple can't even hit the rim.

[NajdorfDefense]

Temple didn't cover, but StJoe's did.
FTR: That's the 6th straight game I got the spread >=1 pt better than the close and lost. Brutal.
