Aloha Gang! Well been up all night till now trying to get us another winning card for today. As you may know, yesterday was simply a beautiful day for us, going 7w-1L= +27 Units on the Day. Which was highlighted by me hitting my Two Big Revenge Games of the Month with Ok St and NM. We surely kicked the Man Ass yesterday, but now comes the hard part, Kicking it again. Todays card I found alot of great situational setups and situational advantages which I just love to see. Today, we are sticking with only the Home teams in this card. So without further adew, Lets Get To Home Style Cookin Already!
6 Unit Plays on:
Ill -6 (WINNER -BY 24pts)
GT -3 (buy 1pt)(WINNER-by 11 pts)
-I hate to do it, but I got to jump off of this Spartan Ship in this one today. Ill is simply playing to dominant ball at home where they are averaging 80.4 ppg and 48% from the field, while they hold their opponents to just 60 ppg and ONLY 38% shooting from the field. Although Mich St Offensive production has gone up, it is their defensive struggles that have gave me some worries as they give up an averages of 75.4 ppg and 50.4% shooting from the field on the road. ILL'S Offense is dominant as it is at home and doesnt need any help from Mich St, but they'll get it no matter what tonight. Some other stats I like in this one favoring ILL is that Ill is 2-0 ATS the last 3 seasons and 5-1 ATS since 1997, when they are a home favorite of 3.5 to 6pts. Ill is also 10-5 ATS the last 3 seasons and 29-14 ATS since 1997 in all games played in Feb. Seems like Feb is when they start focusing on their run to March Madness. Mich St is currently 2-7 ATS and 6-19 ATS the last 3 seasons when they are playing against good defensive teams allowing less than 64 pts per game. Ill is also coming off of a 2-0 road swing and return to play in front of the home fans for the first time since Jan 31st. I expect the House to very loud and hostile tonight. Ill's does have Wisc on deck after this one, but that one wont be for a full week after this one, so expect Coach Weber to have his guys fully focused and prepared for this game first. The Spartans running good lately, but that train gets derailed tonight against this solid home team with the a solid Off and solid Def. Home Court Advantage is strong in this one, as last years 30pt Spartan pasting at Champaine can atest to. In addition, Ill is also 4-1 ATS at home vs Mich St since 1997. Spartan's lose this one as Ill motivated to get its spot on Top of the Conf once again. Tonight also has been designated as PAINT THE HALL ORANGE NIGHT. This is done annually and for a game that is designated as a Big Game. So far, two years has been designated Paint the Hall Orange Night against Mich St and Ill has beaten them by 11pts in 2001 and by 30pts in 2003. This one not looking good for the Spartans tonight.
-This one should be another good one. But, I have to side once again with the solid home team. GT is very solid at home going 11-1 SU and 7-4 ATS. Here, they are averaging 80 ppg and shoot 48% from the field, while they hold their opponents to a LOW of 58.1 ppg and a LOW of 35.5% from the field. NC although scoring alot of points on the road, it is their lack of solid defensive play where it will cost them. On the road, they are allowing their opponents to score an average of 74.1 ppg and 47% shooting from the field. That is way to much against this solid defense at home. Some other stats I like in this one, going against NC is they are 3-5 ATS the last 3 seasons as a road dog of 3.5 to 6 pts. They are also currently just 1-4 ATS and 8-19 ATS in road games. GT is 4-2 ATS the last 3 seasons as a home favorite of 3.5 to 6 pts. They are also currently 4-2 ATS vs good Offensive teams scoring 77+ pts per game. This one also is a Revenge game for GT after they got a 15pt ASS spanking at Chapel Hill on 1-11. Looking back over the last 3 years, this also looks like a home series. Over the last 3 seasons, GT is 2-0 SU and ATS at home vs NC. Lastly, GT is at home after a 1-1 road trip and will be playing in front of the home crowd for the 1st time since Jan 31st. I look for a wild , loud, and energized Home Court tonight, as Tech will want to remain dominant at home and kill to birds with one stone. Thats Right get their Revenge and knock off National Powerhouse North Carolina Tar Heels on National TV. Defense and HCA the difference in this one. Jackets sting the Tar Heels tonight!
4 Unit Play on:
NC ST -6 (buy 1pt)(WINNER- by 16pts)
Syracuse -8(LOSE)
-NCST is 11-0 SU and 6-1 ATS at home. In the last 3 years they are 25-9 ATS at home. In Feb games, they are currently 3-0 ATS and 13-5 ATS in the last 3 years. They are also 4-0 ATS and 11-4 ATS when playing against teams with winning records and teams with winning records after 15+ games. What can I say about NCST? Well, they are simply playing solid BB. In fact, after their last lost at Duke back on 1-15, they have gone 5-2 SU and 6-1 ATS. Their 2 losses were on the road at NC and BC, by only 2pts and 1pt. FL ST though they have been a solid covering machine at home, on the road, they have been on a current 5 game slide going 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS. Only game they covered was at Duke, but they were getting 17.5 pts in that one. FL ST has been really poor scoring on the road averaging ONLY 63 ppg and shooting 40% from the field. NC ST at home is averaging 78.8 ppg and shooting 46% from the field, while allowing opponents to only score an average of 60.8 ppg and 39% from the field. Holy Shit, can you smell what the Wolfpack are cooking. Smells like Old Fashion Home Cooking to me. Here's other positive NC ST stats. NCST is 5-0 SU and ATS at home vs FL ST the last 3 seasons. The Wolfpack will cook the Criminoles at home again tonight. Let me hear ya howl!
-OK, this one is simple to me. Syracuse the defending National Champs vs Rutger's the never will bees. Well they are simply not good enough against this Cuse team who is 11-2 at home, where they score an average of 78.9 ppg and shoot 49% from the field. Althewhile holding their opponents to just 67 ppg and 40% from the field. But, Rutgers is so poor on the road that they only score 61 ppg and shoot a LOW of 38% from the field. Now that is BAD! Don't get fooled by their upset of Villanova at Nova. Nova is a better road team then home and they were probably distracted by their match with St Joes which was coming up. In Rutgers last 6 road games, they has gone 1-5. 2 days ago they got spanked at Seton Hall by 27pts and this is their 2nd roadie on 2 days rest. Can they recover from that spanking today against the defending National Champs. Hell NO! The Cuse are coming off of a 2 game road losses and are very Mad! They have one game in front of the Orangeheads, and then they are back on the road again, so look for a full all out focus and determination to get back their MOJO against Rutgers tonight. The Cuse to much in this spot tonight.
3 Unit Plays on:
Missouri -5.5 (WINNER- by 12pts)
Princeton -3 (LOSE SU)
Furman -2(LOSE SU)
-Not much to say about the Tigers, except how dissappointing they are this year. Dam all that talent and with 4 returning starter. There is no excuse for what has transpired this year with the Tigers. Well today they are finally back home in front of their faithful after dropping two on the road. Colorado is on the road again, and this is where they have been sliding fast. Currently, they have dropped the last 3 or the road and averaging only 60 ppg in those defeats. I am not going to tout Missouri to much, as they dont deserve it, but I do like these past history stats very much. Missouri is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS vs Colorado in games played at Missouri since 1997. They are playing with Revenge for an earlier loss. But heres one I like against Colorado. The Buffs are currently 0-3 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record, and 3-11 ATS the last 3 seasons when playing against teams with losing records. Hmmmm, seems like someone is stroking the Buffs Ego alittle to much and way before it is time to. Today I have a funny feeling that the real Tigers show up.
-Huh, Ivy on a Tuesday, WTF. Well at least we have to only cap one of their games. This one though, should be low scoring and very competitive. Princeton is the class of the Ivy this year, going undefeated in the Conf at 4-0. In this one, they will be facing a Quaker squad who have beaten them 4 straight games the last 2 seasons. This year, Princeton has been solid at home going 6-1 SU. Penn has gone 1-3 SU and ATS on their last 4 road games. Most currently, they are 0-2 SU and ATS on the Ivy road. Now they face the leagues Top Dog who is also playing with 2 years of Revenge on their minds. Some stats siding with the Tigers today. Princeton is currently 3-0 ATS vs good defensive teams allowing less than 64 pts per game. Princeton is also 3-1 ATS after scoring 60 pts or less. Lastly, Princeton on the year is 4-0 ATS when playing a team with a winning record. I expect the Tiger's to run their famous Princeton Offense to perfection today, and get that Quaker monkey off their backs. Go Tigers!
-Davidson is 1-11 SU on the road this year, scoring 65 ppg and allowing their opponents to score an average of 77.2 ppg and shoot 46% from the field. Furman is a solid 8-3 SU at home where they score an average of 79.2 ppg and 47% from the field. Furman at home is also playing solid defense holding its oppenents to just 62.8 ppg and just 39.8% shooting from the field. Only one way to go in this one. Furman, Furman, Furman! Ok thats enough of that.
2 Unit Play on:
Baylor +16.5(LOSE)
-Way to much points from a disinterested and non-motivated Texas squad to be giving. Baylor is playing competitive ball recently and will be very excited and motivated to play against this Nationally ranked Longhorn squad who doesn't really dominate or blow out anyone on the road. Baylor's last big win against Texas A&M should provide them with alot of spark and enthusiasm in this one. Home teams fans will pray for an outright upset today, but it wont be answered. Still , my prayer of a cover ATS will be. I hope.
-Well Gang, them is your plays for today Tuesday. I look for them to give us a solid positive day today and provide us with back to back winning days. Lets hurt the Man again Gang, he keeps asking for it so lets give him another ASS Spanking. Good Luck to all today, Aloha Co-Captain.
