A thread like this is kinda worthless if you don't update your record ever once in awhile.

Sorry we've been bad about updating record. Will update after tonight.

Ark Little Rock -2 3u
Returning an experienced squad and LMU is depleted.

2u on UCLA 1H -16

Got out to a quick start last game...looking for an even better one tonight.

YTD: 17-14-0 +2.68u

Not sure of nutshot...hes on tempban(lol) but he can update when he gets back.

We have:
USF -2 (4u me/7u him)
Vandy -5(3u me/2u him)

USF should be greatly improved in CBB this year as their whole athletic department improves. Their loss to Cle St last game is not indicative of the team as they were without their leading scorer and rebounder. Speaking of rebounds...UB is horrendous rebounding. They were outrebounded by Ohio Valley St and obviously UConn. They should struggle, even at home, against the more athletic USF.

Rebounding and defense should also be an issue for Toledo tonight against Vandy. Vandy played a great complete game against Austin Peay last time out and showed they have enough weapons to be a top 25 team this year even with the loss of Derrick Byars. Toledo is a one dimensional team and if Vandy shuts down their top player tonight they could be in line for a waxing.

Just one play to start out for me tonight.

Princeton 1H -3 2u
Iona is garbage once again this year. Princeton isn't great but I think they have a nice first half tonight.

Will be monitoring alot of halves tonight as I have leans on games but want to see the flow of them before doing anything.

nutshots ban ended this afternoon so he'll be able to post his record but his picks for tonight are:
UNC -11.5 2u
Princeton -6 1.5u

1-0 last night. An early morning Puerto Rico play.

Houston pk 3u
VCU is getting alot of respect from that NCAA tournament run but this is a bit of a different team. Yes they still have Maynor but he can't win this game alone. Houston is really improving under Penders and I expect them to be a bitt too much for VCU in the end.

Also 2u on Miami FL -7.5.
I expect Marist to struggle more with the travel in this one and also have a difficult time adjusting to life without Jared Jordan at the point.

[BJLTNYK]

Bleh Houston loses by a pt. Miami romps.

Adding:
Providence 1H -3.5 3u
Providence should be stronger this year in a really tough Big East. Temple has some nice scorers but doesn't have the balanced attack to stick with PC here I think.

[BJLTNYK]

PC plays like 5 mins of bball in the 1H...bleh. Temple in some serious foul trouble and PC had some life late in the half.

3u PC -3.5 2H

[BJLTNYK]

Well we love pushing edges as we see them and tonight is no different. OJ Mayo and Co losing their first game at home to Mercer set this play up for us.

USC -23 (15u me/10u nutshot). Will obviously update records after tonight. This bet does not cripple us by any means and we love the Trojans here tonight by 30+.

GL!

[BJLTNYK]

USC squeeks out a cover...that shouldn't have been so close. Way too many turnovers.

Stanford -8 3u
Stanford 1h -5 3u

Road chalk...nomnomnom.
