there usually is a reason when the team in 10th place with 2 conference wins is favored over the team in 1st place with 1 conference loss. more times than not the home team will win this one.
mo st lives and die by the 3. they are usually very good shooting at home. they are off tonight, but still can easily shoot themselves back into the game. should be a good 2nd half
god i am so glad mike davis doesnt still coach indiana...its sucks when your favorite team lives and dies by the three...can be very frustrating to watch..and i cant believe cuonzo martin has a team doing this...he was coached better than that...but i guess if thats all you got..what other choice do you have right?
NIowa is red hot, I think they've won 7 straight games now, against quality competition for the most part. Some impressive road wins in that streak as well. That said I didn't play the game, it was NIowa or nothing and I saw you all on the other side so I stayed off it. I know the guys down here know their hoops, I decided to pass and work on tomorrow's card. I hope they can come back in the 2nd half for you guys, lot of hoops left to be played.
This team is just too hot to go against right now though, win or lose I'd be very careful playing against them right now.

faded them last game vs bradley for 5 units. very familiar with this no iowa team. they have made such improvements b/c of their improved guard play. however their guards are young, and have been shooting very well. i am questinable if they will continue to shoot at this % the remainder of the year. they have upgraded their back court a good deal compared to last season, but against teams with good guard such as bradley, creighton , illinois st, i still don't think they measure up. they lead the valley right now, but i still think they are more in the 2nd tier of the valley teams. creighton has been slumping, but still feel overall they better better than no iowa. right now i would go Illinois St (clear favorite), creighton, bradley, and then no iowa leading the 2nd tier.
these guys might be good fade material once they come down to earth. going to catch some slightly inflated lines because of their pretty record.
I'm pissed at myself for not going with what I usually do. I know better than this shit, I'm not running bad so I knew what the play was and didn't have the fucking balls to pull the trigger. Everyone has their own style but I quit trying to guess when a hot team might go cold, I either play with them or stay off the game. It serves me very well, especially when I have a fairly strong opinion. I never play against a hot team and hope they are due to go cold, that's how you go broke. Especially since I've played them on the money line, they have now won and cashed 8 straight games and been unbeatable since New Years Eve yet somehow my fat ass talks myself right off the game. Unreal!
Sorry guys, I'm just venting. I hoped the one time I realized I might have made a mistake the team would not cover and it wouldn't cost me. Of course not, it never happens that way with me. Should have been a nice topper for a decent day and I'm sitting in the bleachers picking my fat ass. Fuck! Oh well, after running around the block a few times it's on to tomorrow.
