*Ok Gang just for the Record before I get
EXPOSER, my Game of the Month plays this season is
11-1= +70 Units.(not including vig)
**7 Unit Big Ten Tourney Game of the Month Play on:
Michigan ST -7
(WINNER-by 13pts EZ!)
-Offense wins games! Well today it will, and this Spartan squad is full of Offense. Check out these numbers. Mich St led the Big 10 in FG% at 52%, 3pt FG%, FT% at 78%, and Scoring Off with 71.3 ppg. Big Guy Paul Davis is the spark to keep this Spartan squad rolling, as he leads them with 16 ppg and 6.4 rpg, as well as in FG% at 56.2%, and FT% at 80.4%. Chris Hill also contributes 14.1 ppg and is hitting 50% from the field, and a WHOOPING 45.6% from 3pt land. Then their is Kevin Tolbert who puts up 11 ppg and is hitting 52.9% from the field. Talk about lights out Baby!
NW currently 0-2 ATS, 1-6 ATS the last 3 seasons when playing with one or less days of rest. NW just 4-10 on the road, and lost their last 4 of 5 Conf road games. Mich St, on the other hand, won 4 of their last 5 Conf road games. NW is ONLY scoring 61.1 ppg on the road, but it is in their last 5 games where their Offensive production has fallen and they are ONLY averaging 56.6 ppg and shooting ONLY 38.2% from the field. EEHHH!
Mich ST, on the other hand, is scoring 71 ppg and shooting a STAGGERING 50.5% from the field. HOLY COW! Mich ST has also already beat this NW squad twice this year, and 10 of the last 11 times. If you questioning the ability to win three times or ST's motivation. Well let me just tell you that this game is just as important as any game to Mich ST, as they want to get into the Dance. Also, Mich ST lost their chance at the regular season Conf Title, and thus their automatic shot into the Big Dance, when they lost at home to Wisc. Now they have a second chance to get a Conf Title and another shot to secure a seat in the Dance, but they need to keep winning and do it in very impressive fashion. This one is especially important to win impressively as it will show the committee that this team has bounced back from that loss at home to Wisc and put questions out of their heads about whether or not this Mich ST team is a valuable commodity or not.
Today Mich ST will put their own destiny in their own hands, just like how the Washington Huskies are doing, and let their play get them in. NW is good at home, but on the road they struggle and it showed last night against lowly Penn St. Today, they run into a very mad and motivated and a VERY WELL RESTED Mich ST squad. OH BOY! Mich ST will roll Big Time in this one, and it could get real ugly , real fast. LIGHTS OUT SHOOTING ON OFFENSE WINS GAMES. Lay the points!
**6 Unit Plays on:
Miss St -4
-The last 5 games will tell the Big Story as Vandy's Offensive production falls to a LOW of 67.6 ppg, while Miss St averages scoring 83.2 ppg and 46% from the field. WOW! Vandy is currently 0-2 ATS, 3-7 ATS the last 3 seasons, and 5-11 ATS since 1997, when playing on 1 or less days rest. Miss St is currently 4-1 ATS, 11-2 ATS last 3 seasons, and 17-4 ATS since 1997, when playing on 5 or 6 days rest. Vandy just 3-4 ATS as Dog. Miss St is 13-6 ATS as a FAV. Miss St is 8-1 ATS vs good Def teams allowing 64pts or less per game. Miss St is an INCREDIBLE 12-0 SU and 11-1 ATS on the road this year. WOW! Vandy is just 5-6 SU on the road this year. I dont know about you, but I gotta go with this Streaking Freaking HOT team on a MAJOR FREAKING ROLL. Miss St will win this one easy also because they simply can bang da boards way better than Vandy can and that will lead to many second chance shots. Bulldogs, Bulldogs, Bulldogs!
(LOSE SU)
Dayton -2 (buy .5pt)
-The Flyers are a veteran squad with a very deep bench. Let me see, Hmmmm..Dayton already beat this Richmond team twice this year and playing at home in front of their fans, yet they are ONLY a 2pt Fav. WTF! Oh my God, TRAP, TRAP, TRAP. Ah, Trap Smap. I think its X-Mas time and I am waiting for that fat bastard to come give me my present with a win.LOL.
Dayton is 14-2 SU at home, while Richmond is 12-7 SU on the road, but Dayton is 14-2 SU at home! Plus, Dayton wants Bad in to the Dance and like I mentioned in yesterdays writeup, they know that this is their best opportunity to get there with this Tourney being played in their House. All you Richmond backers listen up! That Kansas upset at Kansas was a long time ago. This is not Kansas, but played in OHIO Baby, where the Flyers Fly High!
(PUSH- after up by DD's ,WTF!)
**4 Unit Plays on:
BYU -2
-The Mormons collide again. This will be one sober ass Party, LOL. Utah is currently 0-3 ATS, 2-9 ATS last 3 years, and 10-19 ATS since 1997, playing on neutral courts. Utah also is just a 2-4 ATS as a Dog. BYU is 12-7 ATS as a Fav, and 1-1 ATS on a neutral court. The edge I see is in their last 5 games where BYU has been on Fire on Offense averaging 79 ppg and shooting a WHOOPING 53.8% from the field. HOLY COWABUNGA! Utah, on the other hand, is ONLY scoring an average of 61.8 ppg and 46.8% from the field on the road. HOLY SHIT! BYU is a veteran team with a much deeper bench, and they have one of the Nations best Big Uglies in C Araujo. Utah's Big Ugly, I forgot his name, is more like a Big Fugly(fvckin-ugly), but he is no match for Araujo, the rebel with all his TATS, down low. Araujo comes out with a big game as he show cases his abilities to all the NBA scouts in da House. Cougs Roll!
(LOSE SU)
UNLV -3
-The Run -N- Gun vs the Slow Flow O. Sorry, thats the best comparison rhyme I could come up with. Anyways, I feel that UNLV's fast pace play will eventually wear down this Col ST team who relies mostly on their Big Men. Col ST is only 4-11 SU on the road, where they average just 61.8 ppg and shoot 43% from the field, while giving up 72.1 ppg and 45.2% from the field. UNLV, on the other hand, puts up 73 ppg and 45.7% from the field, on the road. Though they also give up alot on the Defensive end, I dont feel that with Col ST's type of Offense, they will be able to run and gun with the Rebels. This lack of scoring has the potential of creating a Big deficit for the Rams, one which they wont be able to recover from. Dont be fooled by last nights upset win over Air Force. AF's type of slow play played right into the hands of the style that Col ST plays and they were able to run their own game. In this one, if you cant run with the Rebels, your done. The Rebels run it up for a DD win tonight. Short number is a gift due to last nights poor showing vs NM, take it and run with the Rebels.
(WINNER-by 7pts)
Alabama +3
-I am exhausted already, so I am just going to say that Bama is HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT! Bama's train will roll over these Florida Diaper Dandy's.
(WINNER-by 1pt ats)
