Brandon Lang Writeup
Brandon Lang Wednesday's Selection .... NOTE:
Flat out wrong side.
Misjudged the Lakers big time last night. They were just flat. Flat as a pancake from Waffle House.
Off the 3 game east coast road trip, heartbreaking loss to Orlando Sunday, 3,000 mile plan ride back to Los Angeles, jet lag and off 1 days rest, facing a Raptors team who had failed to cover 7 straight games, still to much for LA to overcome.
The double digit number got me and I am man enough to admit just a pathetic call with the Lakers last night.
However, don't lose sight of the big picture.
5 of 7 winning days.
7 of 11 winning days
40 dime winner CAL two Saturdays ago
30 dime winner Texas A&M last Wednesday
2 straight winning weeks
So despite the efforts of the Lakers last night, still in a great groove, overall my opinion is right there and what is happening right now is what is called a basketball winning streak.
Yes, every once in awhile even when you are on a great winning streak you will throw in the occasional clunker as I did last night but my numbers the last 2 weeks should tell you, show you, my opinion is right where it needs to be.
And seeing as this is the biggest money making month of the year in hoops, I am 100% satisfied with where my basketball opinion is heading into this game today.
All about seizing back the winning momentum tonight, get winning day # 6 of the last 8 and roll into Thursday.
5 DIME - OKLAHOMA STATE
They are just flat out the better team.
At 21-9 and some would say on the NCAA tourney bubble, the Cowboys probably have to win two games in this tourney to punch their ticket to the big dance but most certainly they have to win here.
Over their last 7 games they are 5-2 SU and ATS, with the two losses on the road at A&M and Texas.
This team is capable of big things as evidenced by their 85-77 home win over Kansas and a 7 point home win over Baylor.
In the two meetings this year Oklahoma State led at the half at Oklahoma eventually squandering a 2nd half lead and then losing by 5 in OT.
However, a little less than a month ago at home they tattooed this Sooner bunch to the tune of 97-76 in a game that wasn't even that close. As you can see, the Sooners are ready to call it a year as evidenced by their play to end the year losing their last 8, and 10 of their last 12.
To make matters worse for this ballclub who has obviously quit, 9 of those 12 losses have been by 7 points or more with 7 by double digits.
This tourney game today is about one team knowing they need to win to get to March madness and another team that knows they are going nowhere playing a team they know they can't beat.
Where is Blake Griffin when you need him?
Oklahoma State rolls to another double diigit win over the Sooners tonight.

2 straight winning weeks
So despite the efforts of the Lakers last night, still in a great groove, overall my opinion is right there and what is happening right now is what is called a basketball winning streak.
Yes, every once in awhile even when you are on a great winning streak you will throw in the occasional clunker as I did last night but my numbers the last 2 weeks should tell you, show you, my opinion is right where it needs to be.
And seeing as this is the biggest money making month of the year in hoops, I am 100% satisfied with where my basketball opinion is heading into this game today.
All about seizing back the winning momentum tonight, get winning day # 6 of the last 8 and roll into Thursday.
5 DIME - OKLAHOMA STATE
They are just flat out the better team.
At 21-9 and some would say on the NCAA tourney bubble, the Cowboys probably have to win two games in this tourney to punch their ticket to the big dance but most certainly they have to win here.
Over their last 7 games they are 5-2 SU and ATS, with the two losses on the road at A&M and Texas.
This team is capable of big things as evidenced by their 85-77 home win over Kansas and a 7 point home win over Baylor.
In the two meetings this year Oklahoma State led at the half at Oklahoma eventually squandering a 2nd half lead and then losing by 5 in OT.
However, a little less than a month ago at home they tattooed this Sooner bunch to the tune of 97-76 in a game that wasn't even that close. As you can see, the Sooners are ready to call it a year as evidenced by their play to end the year losing their last 8, and 10 of their last 12.
To make matters worse for this ballclub who has obviously quit, 9 of those 12 losses have been by 7 points or more with 7 by double digits.
This tourney game today is about one team knowing they need to win to get to March madness and another team that knows they are going nowhere playing a team they know they can't beat.
Where is Blake Griffin when you need him?
Oklahoma State rolls to another double diigit win over the Sooners tonight.
