4 Unit Play. Take Mississippi State +2 over South Carolina (Friday @ 3:20pm est). Yesterday was on me. I had a bad day yesterday and I'm sure it won't be my last. But, after a winning January CBB and February CBB (up 50 units in that span), I am confident we will win in March as well. Let's roll today in my biggest college card of the year to date. I feel strong about these five selections and let's give it a ride. I believe Miss. State matches up extremely well against South Carolina. This is why this team defeated SC by 5 at home earlier this year. At this point in the year, it's all about teams that are playing well and Miss. State is playing very strong basketball. After all, this team romped Georgia by 19 on neutral footing, defeated rival Ole Miss on the road by a bucket and took care of Florida at home by 9 to close out the year. SC who started off the year strong stumbled a bit by losing to Vandy by 13 on the road, losing to Tennessee in a must win game for the share of the SEC Title by 14 at home, who lost to Miss. State by 5 on the road, Flordia, Tennessee and LSU all on the highway as well. SC is just not a strong team on the road and I just feel that they rely too much on their star player. Miss.State on the other hand can have balanced scoring and once again, I love Miss. State's defense and they are extremely well coached. I'm not taking anything away from SC but I'm just saying that Miss. State's depth and more scoring options will benefit them here. I think SC relies way too much on Devan Downey like Miami did with McClinton and look where that got them. Miss State had 5 guys score 8 points or more in thier last contest and is a team that shot 14 for 18 in free throws as well. I think the first round game against UGA will help get this team in sync to defeat a SC team that is not coming in playing its best basketball IMO and of course, a SC team that relies heavily on Downey.
4 Unit Play. Take Alabama +6.5 over Tennessee (Friday @ 7:30pm est.). There is no line on this game here, but when ther is, I will update. Alabama is a team that has completely turned its season around once the poison known as Mark Gottfried left. This team is responding to their interim head coach and look what they have done over the last few games. The Tider were at one point 3-8 in conference play looking to have someone just put them out of their misery. But, now, this team is 7-9 in conference play, just took care of Vanderbilt as an Outright 3 point dog, defeated Tennessee in their house earlier this year, and who beat Ole Miss, Arkansas and Miss. State coming into this contest and have essentially won 5 of their last 6 conference games and it should have been 6 out of 6 if they had taken care of the big lead they had at half against Auburn. Folks, I think Alabama might very well win the SEC. Yes, the Tide. They understand that they need to have a huge run similar to what UGA did last year to get to the tourney and I would not want to play the Tide right now and Bruce Pearl understands that. Despite Tennessee having revenge, the Tide will still come to this game having a dog tag and I think Alabama walks away from this game as the Outright victor and certainly the few points of a dog price that we are to get will be appreciated as well. The Tide are on a roll and I think they are one of my top 3 teams to win the SEC along with Auburn and Miss. State.
4 Unit Play. Take Auburn +3.5 over Florida (Friday @ 9:30pm est.) Don't mess with the Auburn Tigers. There are three teams that I think have the best chance to win the SEC as I have noted and they are indeed Miss. State, Alabama and Auburn. I make no bones about it and frankly, I have put my money where my mouth is as all three of those selections are all 4* selections for me today. Auburn is a Beast. Alabama has won 5 of 6 contests and despite the Tide having revenge, despite being down huge in that contest, Auburn still managed to come back and win in a hositle environment. That should tell you something about this team's character. Auburn is the same team that lost to Florida at home by a few points this year and you know they will have that loss at heart. This team is much improved from that loss and this team actually finished ahead of Florida in conference play at 10-6. This is why Auburn had a chance to rest in Round 1 and Florida had to face a dismal Arkansas team. Auburn is the same team that has won 8 of their last 9 conference games, and finished the year 10-6 in conference play after starting the year 2-3. Heck, this team has won 6 of its last 8 SEC games by double-digits. I'll take the Tigers here given their strong play of late and if Florida thought Arkansas was a cake walk, they are in for a rude awakening with Auburn who is itching to get back at them for that earlier season loss.
2 Unit Play. Take Kentucky +1 over LSU (Friday @ 1pm est).This is just a 2* Selection here but I feel that Kentucky is just playing better basketball than LSU right now. Yes, LSU did win the SEC Championship but let's not forget that this team has struggled in its last two games losing to Vanderbilt at home and Auburn on the road. I think winning the SEC Championship could have been the worst thing that happened to this team as they have lost the edge as the dog and now are the favorite. Kentucky remembers losing to this team on their home floor and frankly, Kentucky has to win this game to go to the NCAA Tournament. If they do not win this game, they very well might have a one way ticket going to the NIT which will not suit the fans of Kentucky. I expect Kentucky, a team that ended the year on a poor note going 0-4 in conference play, who started the game off very poor against LSU and then made a strong comeback, to start this game off strong from start to finish and surprise a lot of folks here by pulling off the upset. Why do you think he line is just +1 and 66% of the public likes LSU the SEC Champs here? The line is indicative of a Kentucky upset and we will be on the side of the upset. Kentucky starts off strong from the opening minute to the closing minute as I think LSU will be a little shell shocked and their lack of edge coming into the tourney might bite them in the rear today.
2 Unit Play. Take Oklahoma State +4 over Missouri (Friday @ 9:30pm est). Missouri romped through Texas Tech as they were able to keep their lead unlike A&M who completely collapsed. The three teams I like the most to winning it all in the Big12 are actually Oklahoma State and at this point Baylor who is playing lights out - but I will give Texas the benefit of the doubt as they match up well against an undersized Baylor team tha relies too much on the outside shot. This is a HUGE opportunity for Oklahoma State. This team has the chance to really make some shockwaves. State will have the crowd behind them as this game is in Oklahoma City, this team is well coached and frankly has really come a long way from its early season play - in particular on defense. This team romped through Iowa State, defeated Oklahoma by a 1 point, won its last 5 of 6 conference games and has won its last 7 of 8 games overall defeating the likes of Texas and Kansas State in the process. Missouri is a good team but this team has not been as strong away from home of late losing to A&M and and getting beat by Kansas by 25 - this team also lost to Kansas State and Nebraska on the road. Call me crazy, but I think Oklahoma State not only wins this game outright, but has a strong chance to win it all in the Big12. This Missouri team only beat Oklahoma State by a bucket at home and now Oklahoma State could very well win this game as this is a semi-home for them in many ways. This is nearly the same spread as Yesterday when Oklahoma State won Outright and I am confident they will roll today as well.
4 Unit Play. #822. Take Golden State -1.5 over the Dallas Mavericks (Friday @ 10:30pm est). Let's finish out the final 3 days of the week strong as we shoot for winning week #9 of 12. I like the Warriors today at home over the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs beat the Warriors by 24 last time out in a game that ended 93-117. Now, the Warriors get to host the Mavs as small chalk just like they hosted the Nets as small chalk the other night. These two teams have a history and GS will be rocking tonight. I expect a big game from the Warriors today as the Mavs will be without the services of Josh Howard which I'm not surei f the 57% of the public know as they take the points here. The Mavs are playing better but I just don't know who will pick up the offensive slack as there will be lots of points scored in this game and Dallas needs to keep up. I will take the Warriors at home with Jackson, Ellis, Crawford and Maggattee at home with revenge over the Mavs who will rely heavily on Dirk and Terry. This is not to mention the Warriors have a decent bench with Randolph, Morrow, Biedrins and Azubuike. The Warriors win this baby as it is small chalk for a reason imo. The Warriors are 5-1 ATS as a small favorite at home while the Mavs are 2-5 ATS as an underdog of late.
Good Luck,
Indian Cowboy.

The Warriors are 5-1 ATS as a small favorite at home while the Mavs are 2-5 ATS as an underdog of late.
