I can't depend on the mediocre squads.

Kentucky total points over 68.5
110/100

They're leaning hard on the under. Cats put on a show at the Yum! Center.

I hope these guys are fired up tonight....

Parlay (4 picks)
Arizona -9½
Georgia State +6
Villanova -9½
Georgetown

20/347

I'm done betting on ncaa basketball.

Cincy...who is playing with heart and fighting like dogs just gives up after the under 4 timeout. No attempt to foul.

And I lose because of it. I just find it highly suspect.

I have a friend that thinks UK is shaving points, said the last 10 minutes of this last game was awful interesting and I guess there were some plays in the Hampton game that were suspect.

It was interesting. In an elimination setting when you're down 5+ possessions at the 3:30 mark the traditional thing to do is bring in a shooter and use his 4 fouls on defense.

They just let UK run the clock down. That game was heading for a UK cover and it seemed Cincy was more concerned about that than trying to make one final comeback attempt.

it's called March Madness for a reason. ACC is super hot (9-0), wonder how long it will last.

You must have loved when they let him waltz in for that layup with 2 seconds to go.

My guys had all kinds of bricks at the end

You ever think of becoming a professional wrestler?

Pants II 03-22-2015 10:41 AM

Here's my picks for today. On paper it looks like an outstanding day of basketball.

Virginia -4.5
Duke -9
Kansas -1.5
Dayton +170
Iowa +6.5
Wisconsin -12
Maryland pick 'em
Louisville +2.5
5/1301

I'll be devastated if this doesn't hit.

:D

Kitan 03-27-2015 11:54 PM

Had Utah +6...thanks refs....:mad::mad::mad:

Alabama Stakes 03-28-2015 12:09 AM

Joe B Hall / Saint Joe Bay ?
 
he even teased you a little when he bricked that first free throw. I've seen a lot of bad beats, that one is right up there. After Nance declared the game over, the ref ran over to him screamin the foul occurred with point 7.... never seen so blatant show of _______. (can't think of the word)

Really?!? It must have sucked to be you when it was your turn to pick up the bar tab.

I would like to be friends with A.J. Lee or either Bella..

8th Wonder
 
you couldnt even see the bud bottle when it was in his hand. I don't think he ever paid for a drink in his life, not cause he was cheap, but it was just a wonderous thing to watch. It was like you should be paying him. once he got in the bar at the Ramada, they locked the doors. No one else in, and it's not like anyone was gonna leave. You were in the presence of greatness and you could feel it. The vibe was like at a Grateful Dead show in the fall in a hockey arena, when it was all business....a very good vibe.

on a side note, I love St. Joe Bay in the La Derby. And the boss didn't kill the price on him. Thanks, Boss

Listening to Len Elmore and Chris Webber for 2+ hours should be considered torture.

Time-out, Chris.

$1,000,000.00 if MSU wins it all. On a $20K bet.

I'm not a Kentucky fan by any means. I just have to live with one.

But as someone who isn't really biased it just seems that if Duke was 38-0 there would be far more coverage in the media right now instead of the incessant talk about the NBA and NFL off-season nonsense.

Plus they retain Rex Chapman for the Kentucky broadcast on TBS? The dude is fresh out of rehab for stealing from an Apple store for an addiction to pain meds.

You can't tell me there isn't another representative of the University that can handle those duties.

Rex Chapman is a dirtbag. He's always been a dirtbag even before the addiction problems. It's called severe narcissism. Stop enabling these type of people.

Wisconsin made some clutch shots before and after the shot clock.

Congrats and good luck against Duke. Should be another classic match-up.

dellinger63 04-05-2015 08:55 AM

I feel bad for KY's seniors :rolleyes:

On Wisconsin!

King Glorious 04-05-2015 09:02 AM

This reminds me a lot of 1991. Wisconsin Played the part of Duke. Duke had been beaten by UNLV the year before and wanted another shot at them. They got that shot and took out an undefeated UNLV team that people were saying was in the conversation for greatest all-time. Same thing with Wisconsin and Kentucky. It's going to be very difficult for Ryan to bring his boys back down off of their emotional high to play again tomorrow. They celebrated last night like they had won the title. Coach K had the same task with Duke in 1991.

On the other side, Coach K has a tough job in front of him too. His players surely had been expecting Kentucky and there is invariably going to be a mental letdown because it's Wisconsin. Not that they will take them lightly but because it's not Kentucky and because they already have gone up to Wisconsin and beaten them this year, comfort will naturally be a little higher.

It's going to be a great matchup. I think the fact that the Wisconsin big men like to play outside will help Duke. It worked against Kentucky because it pulled their big men out and they didn't have the foot speed to keep Wisconsin in front of them and caused them to switch all game and had then out of position for rebounding. Duke can keep Kaminski and Decker I front of them and make it more difficult. On the other end, they will use their quickness to force Wisconsin into a lot of scramble and help situations and create a lot of open looks from three point range and a good number of one on one chances for Okafor.

I like Duke 76-69.

ateamstupid 04-06-2015 10:10 PM

Instant classic. Tyus Jones is a cold-blooded killer and I'd take him on my team any day.

knickslions2 04-06-2015 10:26 PM

Unbelievable effort by jones. Hats off to duke
