So going into Friday (all 5 teams still alive for me although obviously 3 of them are 1 star Futures with bigger odds and payouts , 1 of them is 2.5 Stars , and 1 of them has 4.8 Stars on them.........So here is the schedule
Florida -120 in the Futures debuts in the Quarterfinals for me tomorrow at 1PM...No surprise Florida is favored by Double-Digits in this game.
Tulsa +480 in the Futures plays in the Semifinals for me tomorrow at 4PM.......Early line shows an exact toss-up...Hopefully, Tulsa gets it done and advances to the Title Game where I'll have +480 on them....
Cincinnati +580 in the Futures plays in the Semifinals for me tomorrow night and they get the winner of UCONN-Memphis.....It was funny watching the Memphis fans turn into Central Florida fans during tonight's game which only means the Memphis fans fear Cincy and for good reason as the Bearcats have beaten them twice this year by Double-Digits, including their own floor..The Bearcats split the series with UCONN this year just like Cincy did with Louisville...
San Diego State +200 in the Futures plays UNLV in the Semifinals for me tomorrow night....Obviously, they are playing this tournament in Las Vegas, but the Aztecs beat UNLV twice this year, including there in Las Vegas...Furthermore, the Aztecs won AT Kansas this year which is one of the most brutal environments historically to win at on the Road, but this Aztec team already did that so mentally they just need to play their own game which is built around defense and more defense along with Xavier Thames making plays and controlling the flow of the game.
Georgia State +100 in the Futures debuts on Saturday in the Semifinals for me so they can enjoy another day of rest tomorrow.
Best of luck.

Currently 4 Teams in the Semis and 1 in the Quarterfinals so all 5 are still alive in the Futures to win their Tournament Outright.
I'll be back to update this thread Saturday or Sunday....2 of my 5 have a lot more stars risked on them compared to others so hopefully both of them make it to Sunday and play well that day..
1 is a mid-range shot at +200, the other 2 are bigger odds at +480 and +580 to win their Tournament Outright
Best of luck.............

Update.......All 5 Teams Still Alive in the Futures for now
Tulsa +480 in the Futures plays in the Championship Game Tomorrow
San Diego State +200 in the Futures and Cincinnati +580 in the Futures each play in the SEMIFINALS tonight
Florida with the most risked on them plays in the Semifinals tomorrow
Georgia State +100 in the Futures debuts tomorrow in the Semifinal........
......So basically I'm a big Tulsa fan tomorrow and hopefully they can win their conference tournament outright at +480 odds in the Futures no matter who they play (it will either be Louisiana Tech or Southern Miss

San Diego State +200 in the Futures is actually on the Road tonight in their Semifinal Game AT UNLV
Cincinnati +580 in the Futures is actually at Pickem tonight against UCONN...Makes sense since they split the series with UCONN and this should be a really good game...
The common theme is San Diego State and Cincy are both capable of playing really good defense whereas Xavier Thames is the glue for San Diego State as hopefully he controls the game and tempo while Sean Kilpatrick is the big scoring guy for Cincy....One of Cincy's key defensive players is Justin Jackson as he can control the paint and voted the AAC Defensive Player of the Year...
Basically, both of these teams are used to playing in tight, grind out games at times because both are defensive-minded and hopefully both San Diego State and Cincy play up to their capabilities tonight and try to advance to their conference championship game....
Early line for tomorrow I saw for Florida was -5 against Tennessee so hopefully Florida can get it done in the FUTURES ticket for me as they are a team with Seniors looking for their 1ST Conference Tournament believe it or not because the last time Florida won a SEC Tournament was the year 2007!! So these Seniors are definitely motivated in this tournament since they NEVER won a Conference Tournament Title before, but they will have to try and get past a very dangerous Tennessee team with momentum in the Semifinals first before getting a chance to play in the SEC Championship Game on Sunday...
Georgia State +100 in the Futures debuts tomorrow in the Semifinals and they have a transfer from Kentucky, yeah the real Kentucky that is really good and the coach's son is obviously another play that is really good...4 Players average in Double-Figures, 2 of them average 17PPG, 2 of them shoot 80% or more from the Free Throw Line, they don't turn it over, and 2 of them hit over 40% from 3.....

San Diego State +200 in the Futures is now in the Championship Game, they will play either Boise State or New Mexico....
The Azetcs join Tulsa +480 in the Futures who also made it to their Championship Game....
Both Tulsa and San Diego State play tomorrow in their Conference Tournament Championship Game and both have a chance to try to cash the Futures since they both made it to the game which is the first step.
Florida in the Futures plays tomorrow in the Semifinals along with Georgia State who debuts in the Sun Belt Tournament and both those teams have more risked on them since their odds are lower whereas the ones with big odds have less risked on them as indicated on Page 1 Writeups on this thread.
The 5th and final team in my Futures Cincinnati +580 is still playing right now in the Semifinals in a slugfest as I expected and said earlier

Cincinnati +580 in the Futures goes down in the Semifinals in a tight one as they missed a layup at the buzzer, but I only had 1 Star on them and in my opinion they had the toughest title game anyway with Louisville on deck so if I had to pick one to go down it would be them...Besides, Louisville been winning by a million points in their two previous games in this tournament.
So the other 4 are still alive, 2 of them with alot more risked than the others, 2 of them in the Title Game with big odds on them(+480 and +200)

Tomorrow's Schedule for me on my teams in the Futures (all times Eastern)
11:30am--------Tulsa +480 in the Futures is playing in the Championship Game........Let's Go Tulsa!!!.
1PM----------- Florida is in the Semifinals against Tennessee..This game is just as big for me since more risked on Florida..Let's Go Florida!!
3PM---------Georgia State is in the Semifinals....Another big game for me since more risked on them..
Let's go Panthers
6PM----------San Diego State +200 in the Futures is playing in the Championship Game....Let's go Aztecs
.....2 of the 4 are in Title Games at big odds with a chance to cash.....The other 2 in the Semis have more risked on them so hopefully things work out....That said, I'm glad I put two of them in the Title Game and in the position at bigger odds with a chance..That said, it won't be easy...The other two I'm just hoping they win in the Semis and get to Sunday.....Best of luck.

Obviously, I'll be rooting against Kentucky as I'd rather see Florida play Georgia in the Title Game....However, Florida has beaten Kentucky twice this year already though, but the main thing is Florida made it to the Championship Game so they have a chance to cash the Futures on them no matter who they playing.....Like I said the first step in these Futures is getting to the Conference Tournament Championship Game first which Florida did today.... Best of luck

San Diego State +200 in the Futures is getting ready to tipoff.......Let's go Aztecs....Let's go....Just play defense like you usually do guys and let Xavier Thames (the Mountain West Player of the Year) control the game and tempo with his play while getting extra points from Polee, Shepard, O'Brien and Shirgley...........Defense First though like normal and let Xavier Thames control the game.
