On The Hop's 2015-2016 NCAA Basketball

[OnTheHop]

It's obvious I'm just a loser. Every break that can go against me has and continues to. Pretty much zero chance I can win. I'll keep posting so you can fade my plays...at least you know luck will be on your side if you're opposite me.

Hog wash. I'm 0-7 tonight in the NHL, and praying for a comeback by Calgary. Keep at it.

All time low....lost the parlay when UNLV couldn't block out on a free throw and gave up a tip in. I'm lost. Day or two off.

[OnTheHop]

Thanks indy....more and more tough losses. Have to turn this around soon.

No plays today, just wanted to clean up the record.

1/4/2016:

72-80-2, -28.82u

Oklahoma Sooners +7.5 (-110), 3 units: My numbers have these teams too evenly matched for the spread to be this large. My only concern is can Oklahoma protect the ball enough to not give up too many free buckets? If so, I think they stay well within the number.

1/5/2016:

73-80-2, -25.82u

Wisconsin Badgers +7.5 (-110), 1 unit: Badgers traditionally play well against the Hoosiers. Loss of Blackmon hurts. Badgers D has looked better under Gard.
Auburn Tigers +7 (-110), 2 units: Gamecocks second true road game. Tigers will be up for this one and their record is deceiving...a lot of losses against quality teams.
Syracuse Orange -5 (-110), 2 units: Tigers do not have the shooters or the size to compete with the 2-3 zone.
Temple Owls +10 (-110), 1 unit: Owls protect the ball well enough that they should not give away too many easy buckets. Last game was a let down spot against Houston which makes this number a bit bigger than it should be.

Hop.........on you way now, nicely done last night..........BOL with all your action tonight............indy

Thanks United...appreciate the check in.

Just can't get it going. I've certainly made some AWFUL picks but every break has gone against me...hopefully it will change at some point.

The Wake Forest game is a perfect summary of my season. Fuck me. About to have a decent day for the first time in awhile. Wake up 8 with under a minute to play. Game ends up pushing. Not only that but when NC State cut it to 3, if Wake inbounds they'll get fouled, have 2 shots to make 1 and I win unless NC State heaves in a miracle from behind half court. Instead the Wake player just throws it somewhere near midcourt, the ball is deflected to his teammate who slaps the ball into the floor, no foul, game ends on the number. Oh, and did I mention it went to 2.5 after I played it at 3?

When am I going to catch a fucking break? Just one?
