Ughh, I guess im taking it. W. Virginia minus 2, 300/330.

lets make that G'town +2
550/500

If DT readers don't listen to me about anything else, listen to this: Bet against the Mountain West. At every opportunity. This is the most fraudulent conference in the country.

5-6-1 -215

UCSB (2nd half) +1/2 165/150

Good Luck CHuckles, I dont really like the game kinda just for action.

+5
11-9

Georgetown +120
100/120

They've been historically bad in the tourney relative to their seed- why do you feel this strongly this year?

Honestly? Because I've watched more MWC games than I've watched in the past. A lot of years, I just looked their resumes up and down, but I've watched the teams this year and.. they suck. They're nothing special. New Mexico is OK, BYU is OK, UNLV and San Diego State are both garbage. If any BCS conference teams were struggling against the likes of Colorado State and TCU in their conference tourneys, we'd all be eviscerating them, but the MWC powers get a pass for some reason. I'm crossing my fingers for a New Mexico/Wofford or BYU/Murray State first round matchup. I'd mortgage most of my possessions to bet the underdogs on the money line in those matchups.

You have to say that Fredette's pretty good.

For sure. But he's one of the few bright spots.

Hes local, he dunked on me one time.

Interesting take... I've seen them virtually not at all this year because I don't have the Mtn network anymore since I moved to Ky. I'll take your word for it and be careful with them in my brackets. I was under the impression that they were the real deal this year.

Just the way I wrote it up :rolleyes:

6-6-1 -65

Wanted to wait till halftime on this USU/NMSU game to see how they played out. Going to swing at USU 2nd half if the number is right.

They let them play in the big east.

G'town v WV ended up a push right?

11-10
-95

Butler's still a gagger, and Huggins is still a soulless douchebag, I don't care what anyone says.

Unless you didn't bother fu cking around with the spread and took Georgetown on the money line like me. Fu ck West Virginia, I hope Bob Huggins dies of another heart attack.

my condolences Joe....but forgive me for lol

IDC really. When West Virginia gags as usual in the 2nd round and everyone is looking for explanations, I'll feign shock. There's a reason Huggins never got back to the Final Four after '92. His teams are soft as baby sh it. They manages to outstagger an exhausted 8-seed because JT3 was too stupid to call a timeout and draw up a final play. Way to go.

Calm down Joseph.

I'm a big east fan .... but not at all a WV fan...but I'm thinking that Gtown has had a hard time puttin wins together all year long

That's twice that Butler threw up a prayer and was rewarded. He's not a hero, he's a lucky piece of sh it D-League bricklayer. Ask this dude to make a clutch free throw and he couldn't do it to save his girl's life. He's proven incapable of closing out games. But now he's a hero because two hopeless shots he threw up were pushed in by the redneck coonskin wearing gods. That team is still one giant underachieving lump of sh it and I won't hear otherwise.

These are teenagers playing hoops people..and they should be paid..jeezus..I hate College basketball

Hell yeah losing games like that brings out the worst in me. :tro:

LOL..Joey Raging.


What's coming out the side of that Houston Player's neck. That's brutal.

:tro: :tro: :tro:

Quoted for posterity and longevity...

Love you, brother. Sports wagering brings out the best in all of us. LOL!

Forget my rant...I just dislike college basketball, not hate, but I really think they should be compensated with more than a scholarship..anyone else agree at all?

yes, then it would be a level playingfield. as some are getting paid anyway..:eek:

very nice

Mishkin, upon hearing my question aimed at Hathaway, expressed relief that I had nothing for him. Not so fast. The NCAA is the de facto minor league for both the NFL and the NBA, I said, do the NFL and the NBA owe a duty to college athletic programs?

that is a question..

Georgia Tech +9
110/100

Temple -4
110/100

Push

Kentucky -7

55/50

Richmond +4

55/50

I don't know dala. The kitty cats might have a tough time today.

Good luck.

Thanks Coach. I think the cats are going to dominate the paint. I do hope Miss St gets into the tourney. That team is playing some really good ball.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think Wake Forest is getting in. Six wins over the top 50 doesn't mean much when you've proven incapable of beating anyone in a month.

I didnt think they were very good this year. In fact, I think entire ACC was bad this year. The fact that MD tied for the regular season title is exhibit A.

I think they're in, but it's a lot closer than people will think. Right now I have them as a 10 seed but wouldn't be surprised if they're an 11 or even a 12.

After a lot of debate I have it down to 6 teams for 3 spots (I do think Cal and Minnesota are in, so essentially 4 for 1)- tell me why one over the other:

Note- if Mississippi State pulls out this win that spot disappears.

These are my 34 at-larges: Syracuse, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Louisville, Marquette, Villanova, Pittsburgh, Kansas State, Texas A&M, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Temple/Richmond, Xavier, California, UTEP, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin, Ohio State/Minnesota, Illinois, Duke/Georgia Tech, Maryland, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Clemson, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, New Mexico, BYU, UNLV, Utah State, Gonzaga

-10 2-2-2

I guess the Richmond game could have been worse. Nice call on the Cats game coach.

God damn I hate UK.
