Writeup of the SC Pick:
This tenny team is really good but this is prob SC's best team in decades. this +14 is way too high and prob factoring and weighing the recency of their matchups more heavily, with their last 4 matchups resulting in Ten. blowouts, all over 20 points, with last 2 reaching 40 and 43 and the next being a 34 point blowout. This is a much diff SC team than years past, this team can score as evidenced by averagingh 118.3 points per 100 possessions. They now own 3 straight victories, with the only loss being a 5 point close loss, while owning 2 straight road victories including blowing out Arkansas. SC is also good defensively ranking them 28th in points allowed, allowing a measly 64.5 points, while scoring an average 73.2 points scored per game. SC is ranked 54th while Tenn is 4th. This spread is too high.

Not only was the spread way too high, SC won outright. Hope some of the other picks come through easily like this.

I agree with your point about MSU's away performances, but this game (while it IS away) is only a short distance away. And, there is certainly nothing intimidating about Ole Miss' gym. I would recommend Miss. State + 2.

Hope you ended up taking Ole Miss with me tonight. That "intimidating" home court helped come through late. Great game.

Great spot! SC did UK a favor UK back home! Vegas is giving Florida 6 1/2? UK won earlier 87-85 with tomorrows total 171 1/2… overs are 14-5?..? Gotta do the 1st half over…Sink or Swim…..

Hoping Wildcats learned less passing and more shots made it happen in their wins.

Hoping Georgia slows down Bama

yes i did look at that with a few of these, Iowa/Indy too but had to go with the team better by about 10 points. last Nova/Marq game Nova shot their eyes out from 3 just to stay close and within 10 points last game, i doubt they do it again to stay close. They hit 14 three pointers that game while Marquette shot 58.7% last game and had a 60-18 advantage in the paint. Nova enters this game on a 4 game losing skid and I don't see this correcting tonight especially as Nova shoots 42.4% from the field, which is ranked 293rd in NCAA, and 32.5% from 3 which is 240th. While Marq isn't a great 3 point shooting team, it is one of the best inside-the-arc FG shooting teams, ranking 12th. This will be the big difference tonight.
Late January/early February the better-classed teams typically start to separate themselves from the rest of the conference, while the struggling teams esp those on skids, typically continue their downward spiral. That's my hope tonight.

Marquette write up was spot on along with SC/TN game. These write up games seem to rarely lose at least.

No, I didn’t have either one. Glad that pick came through for you though. It looks like it was a tough night otherwise.

No, it was a decent night, 13-10, better night in NBA but made out in NCAA with some profit.

Brutal loss on that. Guy misses 2 free throws with 23 seconds left for the push at least

Top plays were 3-6-1 including losing the top 2. How do you make a profit? Cmon Pirate, you're better than that
