04-03-17 | North Carolina v. Gonzaga +1.5 | 71-65 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Gonzaga +1.5 to 2 *9:20 EST You know the ACC is 3-14 ATS in the post season? Over rated again, the mighty ACC. Mark Few is a Better coach than ol Roy Boy too – BIG TIME. The Zags big guys are going to pose a huge problem for Meeks and the all the paint action for NC. Carolina also loves to foul, and the Zags can knock down FT’s. That is why Oregon almost beat NC and should have in all honesty, and I was on NC for a 2 unit play. Lesson learned. Roy Williams is an average coach at best with talent galore. He reminds me of Mack Brown when he coached at Texas. Loaded but fail in the limelight 99% of the time. Zags also play better defense by a long shot and are the dog. Mighty NC is a Massive public favorite in every game and yet oddsmakers have this at a near pick’em. WHY? Because they know this is a coin flip and the Zags could win, and that is why the Zags are only -107 on the moneyline and not getting more juice their way. Is it impossible for NC to lose in the title game 2 years in a row? Everyone says no. Ask the Buffalo Bills if you can get to the big game more than once and still lose, it is more than possible. Williams Goos is as good as any guard NC has and can score at will and with the defense that NC plays he will get open looks. I am going contrarian here and bucking the public and more than one sharp and taking the Zags to win it. Play 1 Unit on Gonzaga
March Madness clients and CBB Clients – Had some great winning streaks long term in CBB this year and one horrific February run as well, not my best year. March Madness did not turn a profit for the first time in 5 years and I apologize for that. I could make up a 100 excuses but won’t. I am paid to win, and this time around I failed with great frustration. It was a crazy tourney with huge surprises and 1 or 2 point bad beats all over the place, and I was on the wrong side. I will strive to be better next season and know after 25 years I will be better, long term success tells me so. Appreciate your biz this season. On with NBA and MLB gents. |

04-01-17 | Oregon v. North Carolina -5 | Top | 76-77 | Loss | -105 | 30 h 43 m | Show |
#814 - North Carolina -5 *8:40 EST Hate to lay over 3 in any game in the final 4 ever, however NC lost the title on the last shot of the game to Nova last year, fought and clawed to get back here, and frankly the game is going to be won in the paint. The PAC 12 is not the ACC by any stretch and both Zona and UCLA got their ass handed to them, and Oregon beating a Kansas team who RARELY performs past the sweet 16 under Bill Self is not that impressive. This is when Oregon’s second best rebounder being out hurts them. NC should dominate the boards, which equates to easy buckets, which in turn also equates to owning the boards and controlling the game. N. Carolina has experience big time and Oregon’s run, although well coached by Dana Altman, ends here. Carolina has too many horses, and the Ducks depending on the 3 point shot to win big games rarely work out in big ones. Play 2 Units on North Carolina |

03-30-17 | Georgia Tech +3.5 v. TCU | 56-88 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
#711 - Georgia Tech +3.5 *8 EST When you have a game that is even you have to go with fundamentals. GT has the ACC Coach of the year at the helm, they have the better defense and the best player on the floor in Guard Josh Okogie who has scored 21 ppg and 8 rebounds a game in the NIT Tourney. TCU last 2 games were Richmond and Central Florida and I honestly think GT is the better team with intangibles to boot. Both teams battle tested out of their conferences, but at days end going with the team that has held every opponent in this tourney to under 40% in FG's from the floor. Defense wins championships.

#778 - Georgia Tech -2 *7 EST David versus Goliath in this one as Cal St Bakersfield has managed through 3 decent wins to get to the semi’s tonight, hitting a huge amount of 3 point shots and playing some good defense. GT used to the big stage and GT has beaten numerous NCAA Tourney teams this season. I like the overall team play and coaching for the yellow jackets in this one and the defense they have played in beating Ol Miss and Indiana to name 2 teams they beat in this tourney has been impressive. Battle tested out of the ACC in a game game and big stage like this is an advantage for Georgia Tech Play 1 Unit on Georgia Tech |

03-26-17 | Kentucky +2.5 v. North Carolina | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Kentucky +2.5 Flat out comes down to better guard play and not sure North Carolina who coasted the last game but had their hands full with Arkansas of all people, can handle Kentucky hitting on all cylinders off a beat down of a great UCLA team. Also the defense of Kentucky is sneaky good and handled the guard play of UCLA with ease. This should be a shootout and Kentucky will run and gun all night as that is when they are at their best. 3 SEC teams in the Elite 8 so tired of the mighty ACC getting headlines as the only conference where you are battle tested. Gotta take the points here with the team with a better backcourt and a head coach who has been here before as well. Play 1 Unit on Kentucky BONUS PLAY: Half unit on the OVER 159 |

03-25-17 | Oregon v. Kansas -7 | 74-60 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
#512 - Kansas -7 *8:45 EST I have been a big fan of Dana Altman since I used to interview him at his days in Creighton working for a local ESPN station in Lincoln NE. The guy can coach, his players play hard and he will give you a game anytime, anywhere. They lost to Arizona who I thought was overrated all year in the PAC 12 tourney and lost one of their best players in the process. On the other side Bill Self has fallen in the Elite 8, 4 out of 6 times he has been here, but you could not draw it up any better for KU tonight. Playing at the Sprint Center in Kansas City is HUGE for Kansas, home away from home, and I live in KC and actually will be at this game but have NO bias. Mason and Graham in the backcourt should flourish and are flat out studs. Bill Self did his best coaching job of the season on Purdue, taking away their bigs and letting his dogs loose and he has the better team here in my opinion. Oregon barely won their last 2 games, huge come from behind game against Rhode Island and a miracle win against Michigan. Their shortcomings show up here and KU pulls away late with some hot guards taking over basically on a home floor. KU by 10-12. Play 1 unit on Kansas |

#871 - Wisconsin +1.5 to 2 *9:55 EST Experience, fundamentals, senior laden team in Wiskey and they have answered the bell as an underdog before and in the last game as well. At days end this team has been to 3 of these as a team and that counts. Florida is up and down and Wisconsin battle tested weekly in the Big 10 and I like their low post game and ability to hit threes outside. The Badgers hang around and then put it away, that is their pattern of winning games late. Play 1 Unit on Wisconsin |

#815 - West Virginia +3.5 *7:35 EST Bob Huggins has a chance to win a huge game, in a big spotlight, which is something he rarely does however from I have seen from the Zags, I am just not impressed and they are not battle tested like the mountain boys are out of the Big 12. West Virginia leads the nation in turnovers, have a relentless approach to defense and have a veteran team that is well coached, and they can knock down shots under pressure. Northwestern dominated the last 10 minutes of their game against the Zags, NORTHWESTERN! Enough said. Zags might only have 1 loss, but they have not played anyone.

#767 - Illinois +3.5 *7 EST Like Illinois here, the Big 10 surprised everyone in the Big Dance and Illinois despite hiring a new coach from Okie State is playing hard for the interim coach here and UCF, whom I have won money on all year, does not have the offense to contend here and this is a big step up in class, even at home. Illinois has a much higher RPI and I like them here as a dog. Beat a high seeded Colorado team and knocked off Mo Valley’s Illinois State who is no slouch and a #1 seed in NIT to get here.

#668 - Ole Miss -5.5 *9EST Beat Syracuse in impressive fashion on the road did the Rebels and they have not lost at home since Jan. 28th when Baylor came calling and they lost by 3 to a team in the Sweet 16. GT is a team I won with against Indiana but they are a fade team on the road, and as a matter of fact have not won on the road since Jan.15th. Ol Miss is tough to get through and have looked good in this tourney. Ol Miss scoring 81 ppg their last 5, almost 17 ppg more than GT in the same timeframe. GT on the road for the first time off 2 home wins, time to lose. Play 1 Unit on Ol Miss |

#720 - Duke -7.5 *8:40 EST Look South Carolina relays on defense and are not a deep team out of the SEC conference which has basically 3 good teams in it. Duke is loaded on offense and are an offensive juggernaut that will give the Gamecocks issues with tempo and depth. Coach K (best coach in NCAA Hoops bar none - maybe in history) has his team hitting on all cylinders and clearly are my favorite to get to the Final 4 and they can win this whole thing. Battle tested out of the ACC, deep, well coached, and can stretch out a defense and South Carolina despite a good defense, cannot trade punches on the scoreboard here. Play 2 Units on Duke. |

#733 - Oakland +4 to 4.5 *7:30 EST Love high flying Oakland here who is road warrior at 11-2 SU as roadies and they are an excellent bet as a dog, cashing 20 out of 25 times as an underdog. They have scorers all over the place and also play defense. A well balanced team all around and Richmond does not perform well against good teams, which is why they are in this tourney - and frankly the wrong team is favored. Also the the battle of boards is an advantage for Oakland - Good road teams fare well in this tourney. Play 1 Unit on Oakland |

NCAA Tourney Game of the Year #527 - Iowa State +1 to Pick *9:40 EST March 18th. Gents I cashed Iowa State as my Tourney Game of the year about 9 days ago and I will cash them out here as well. Purdue and the Big 10 overall is way over rated and Iowa State has Morris who is one of the best 3 guards in the entire country and they have 2 NBA players on their roster and are well coached. They hit 3's and free throws and are big underneath. Purdue's style here is not going to match up well against ISU who I am very high on to reach the Final 4. Iowa can score at will, and they have been consistent in knocking down 3's and can go on runs and score in bunches. Play 3 Units on Iowa State - GO CYCLONES! |

03-17-17 | Wichita State v. Dayton +6 | 64-58 | Push | 0 | 32 h 17 m | Show | |
#832 - Dayton +6 *7:10 EST Shockers have 15 straight wins, blew everyone out in the Mo Valley Tourney and a team who can score and play defense and are extremely well coached, and this coach knows how to get it done in March. A 10 seed against a 6 seed laying 6 points? What does that tell you, as Vegas oddsmakers know who the better team is and seeding means nothing in terms of a number of worth. WSU won the Mo Valley regular and post season titles, are a 30 win team against Dayton but the Flyers are no slouch and have seniors all over the place and great guard play. Outside of WSU and Illinois State the Mo Valley was deplorable this season and the Flyers won the A-10 regular season crown and that conference has 3 teams in the Big Dance and with Cooke, Pollard and Smith, will provide a stiff test for the Shockers, I will take the points in this one as both teams can score.

That was the play in game to get this spot against mighty and damn good, high flying and high scoring SMU who buried Cincy in their their tourney championship game and have scorers all over the place.

#715 - Virginia Tech +5.5 *9:40 EST Trying to figure out the love affair with Wisconsin. Every time I watch them play, they fail to impress. They can’t shoot free throws, their offense is below average, their guards pass up shots and frankly despite their experience, their seniors at the guard play do not defend the perimeter. VT shoots lights out from 3 point land, nail free throws and they beat similar teams in the ACC like Virginia and Miami. An outright win here would not shock me, bad matchup for the Badgers who frankly as much as the media is in love with them, managed just a 8 seed. All you need to know. Play 1 Unit on VT |

#733 - Middle Tennessee State (PK) to -1 *4 EST Minnesota is a good team, but overall bear in mind the Big 10 is not a good BB conference in my opinion and every team in this tourney perhaps outside of Purdue is overrated. How Minny got a 5 seed is perplexing. MTSU has the same exact group of players that beat Michigan State last year in this tourney, another overrated Big 10 team from last year (and this year). No doubt this is a popular pick on brackets for an upset and I will gladly take the number here in another live dog scenario. Williams and Upshaw for MTSU are very good players, and they have some solid out of conference wins on their schedule as well including Vandy. Springs being out for Minny a big hit and MTSU dictates pace this whole game. The ol 5 vs 12 game and at a pickem? A 5 seed in a pick em ballgame to being favored?

Butler who allows 68 ppg playing a team who scores 79 ppg, and a better than average team here for the Eagles and have no doubt Butler will be very concerned about 5 foot 7 inch guard Johnson, Conference MVP in the Big South the last 2 years and the kid can drain 3’s. No doubt a spark plug of a player and dangerous. Cannot lay double digits with a team who managed 57 points against Xavier and lost their last 2 including to Seton Hall. Too many points.

USC’s coach is 14-3 ATS in post season play (used to be at Florida Gulf Coast) and USC despite being ridiculed by the media as undeserving, they will use that as motivation tonight and their offense which is unique to say the least, will give the Friars issues.

UNC Greensborough +12.5 Syracuse disappointed to be here no doubt, spring break for the students so the dome will not be a fever pitch as usual, and Syracuse’s coach just slammed Greensborough as a bad place to have a tourney. While UNCG has nothing to do with the ACC, it provides motivation and bear in mind this is a team who 25-9 on the year, 8-4 on the road and puts up 75 ppg. Lower seeds in this tourney are motivated big time to knock off Goliath, and I feel UNCG hangs close here.

Not sold on Weber as a head coach of high caliber however he coached a hell of a Big 12 Tourney and could have easily had a shot in the Championship game after losing to a very good Bub Huggins coached WV team by a single point. Wake has a great offense but the worst defense in the ACC and ranked 299th overall and that allows teams like K State who is balanced on both sides to seal a win. ACC a great conference no doubt, but the Big 12 is stacked as well…this will be a good game, give it to the more complete team in this matchup at this line.

It catches up with them today as Wisconsin and Purdue have been the best 2 teams in this conference all year, and the ease in which the Badgers dispatched a decent NW team yesterday (I took Whiskey) was impressive and they are hitting on all cylinders on offense right now which is key for them, and it should carry over today.

Notre Dame has a solid team no doubt but had to hang on against Florida St after blowing a big lead, I like the fact Duke beat 2 of the better teams in the country to get here and on the door step of a championship with Coach K, I do not see them falling short now.

They will have a heavy crowd in this one as they always do in Kansas City and Iowa States offense and size is going to be a big advantage here. West Virginia never wins the big one, and while Huggy Bear is a good coach, Iowa State has 2 NBA Players on their roster, they are deep and should win this game. Live Dog big time here.

Duke has been over rated all year guys, NC flat out better and dismantled a decent Miami team by 25 yesterday in a no sweat winner. Play 1 Unit on North Carolina |

Iowa State -4 to 4.5 Well, TCU did a nice job of getting a high NIT seed with an upset over Kansas, who was without one of the best play makers and scorers, and KU blew a double digit lead. I am fading TCU here big time against mighty Iowa State, long in the box, and shoot 3's like no ones business and simply will run the floor ragged with the Horned Frogs tonight in Kansas City, a game I will be at in person.

Creighton has all the tools to take this tourney into the championship games and their 82 ppg on offense should put them over the top in this one.

Season Split between these two, but St Johns defense is deplorable and have allowed 80 points per game in their last 5 games.

They cannot score, and Webster is their only option (and a good one) but he is off his first game in 30 games where he did not score double digits Sunday in an ass whipping by Michigan. Penn State has dropped their last 5 games but are avenging a season loss to Nebraska and I just do not see the Husker offense able to put a game away, and if things go bad for NU, they throw it in. Pathetic performance on Sunday and while I expect them to show up, they cannot hang here and willing to lay a short number against a team who have lost their last 4 Big 10 games by an average of 20 ppg.

These two split games this season both winning at home but the Norse can knock down 3’s and have been hot, hitting 50% from the floor last night and cruising to a 10 point win after a 20 point halftime lead against Youngstown State. In their last 5 games No. Kentucky has hit 51% from the floor, 76% from the charity stripe and 41% from 3 point land, and scored 84 ppg. WOW. Plus the Norse are 12-6 ATS on the road, and while I respect the hot streak W-Milwaukee has been on, It ends here against a high octane offense hitting on all cylinders.

This is too many points here in what should be a great championship game. ISU is the top defensive team in the conference and third on offense. WSU is tops in the league in offense, so this will be a battle of who can knock down shots and Wichita St has a rough time for 30 minutes with Mo State last night who plays little defense, ISU has breezed through this tourney to this point.

Northern Iowa has lost 3 straight scoring 44,59, and 42 points and I simply am going with Mo State based on their offense. These two team split the regular season games winning on each other’s floor and this is a good matchup of middle of the pack teams here, but I like Mo States big’s on the offensive glass for easy points and if their guards can knock down some outside shots, they should win. This game in their home state and I feel Missouri State is the better team getting points.

Arkansas is a hot team who can score at will (84 ppg their last 5) and they have ripped off 5 straight wins. Florida off a deflating loss to Kentucky by double digits and while this is a big home game, Arkansas should hang tough, as nothing comes easy this time of the season with teams like Arkansas knowing this is a post season resume building type game.

Time to look at coaching, and who dials in their players as March 1 approaches, and gets them in tourney shape better than Roy Williams? I can answer that, very few coaches do. Awesome that in their last 5 games Virginia has held opponents to 63 ppg, problem is they only scored 58 ppg in those games on offense, and you have to score points to beat NC and that is why a few weeks ago NC beat the Cavs by 24.

02-08-17 | NC State +13.5 v. Florida State | 71-95 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
#537 - NC State +13.5 *7 EST Yep bucking the red hot Florida State team while NC State is falling on hard luck, but this is a MUSt win for NC State and while I do not think they win, they need this one and they will play tough and a look ahead spot for FSU as well with Notre Dame on deck. NC State scores 81 ppg and while their average is lower on the road, I still like their chances at a cover here. Play 1 Unit on NC State |

02-08-17 | Ole Miss +5 v. Tennessee | 66-75 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
#527 - Ol Miss +5 *6:30 EST Look Tennessee should not be laying anywhere near this number and Ol Miss if a GREAT road team, 7-1 ATS their last 8, and already beat Tenn. By 11 3 weeks ago. Yeah I know Tennessee beat Kentucky in here, and beat Kansas State in here, but Ol Miss is 26-10-3 ATS their last 39 road games. Play 1 Unit on Ol Miss |

02-07-17 | Illinois v. Northwestern -5.5 | 68-61 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
#740 - Northwestern -5.5 to 6 MAX *8 EST Short and Sweet, NW off a blowout loss without Lindsey on Saturday (flu) and clearly have the better team. He is back and they should run away with this one at home. Illinois struggles on offense continue and the Wildcats at home is a foul mood after a humiliating defeat should roll it up on Illinois who have scored 43 and 59 in their last 2 games! WOW. Play 1 Unit on Northwestern |

02-04-17 | Xavier v. Creighton -3.5 | 82-80 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
#5660 - Creighton -3.5 *3 EST I like the Bluer Jays at home, as they have their feet under them after losing Watson for the season and off a big win this week. They are very tough to beat at home in Omaha and Xavier only 2-5 on the road and struggled in their last 2 games with wins but St Johns and Seton Hall gave them all they wanted. Creighton beat Xavier on the road by 5 already. Play 1 Unit on Creighton BONUS PLAYS HALF UNIT EACH - Indiana Pacers -4 and Washington State +7 |

02-02-17 | Memphis University -13 v. South Florida | 85-75 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
#729 - Memphis -13 *7 EST I have faded South Florida twice this season and cashed both. Inb their last game Memphis shot 30% from the floor and still won by 7. South Florida plays no defense and has little offense either, and they are off a 41 point beatdown against Cincy. Memphis is clearly the better team here. Play 1 Unit on Memphis |

02-01-17 | Georgia Tech +10 v. Clemson | Top | 62-74 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
Georgia Tech +9.5 to 10 Perplexed is a great word when I look at this line. I took GT at home against Clemson about 2 weeks ago as a big dog and they won outright and now they are even a bigger underdog? Why. In their last 5 games on stats, and that is how you cap hoops, looking at recent trends and stats and not season long stats as much, GT is flat out better. they match Clemson in points on offense and are 14 ppg better on defense, and will out rebound the Tigers and get easy buckets because Clemson is the smaller team by far. All indications point towards a line of maybe -3 for home court, no way double digits. Big overlay here I am taking the points gents. Play 2 Units on Georgia Tech |

01-31-17 | Central Michigan +7 v. Buffalo | 91-101 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
#719 - Central Michigan +7 * 7 EST Again we have a team who can flat out score (86 ppg) on the road against a team with a losing record laying a big number in conference action. CMU has plenty of firepower on offense despite Buffalo’s 66 ppg allowed at home to hang within this number. CMU playing with double revenge as Buffalo swept them last year and Buffalo 2-4 SU their last 6 and CMU off back to back wins. Play 1 Unit on Central Michigan BONUS HALF UNIT PLAY: #733 – Maryland +2.5 *7est |

01-30-17 | Oklahoma State -1.5 v. Oklahoma | 68-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
#525 - Okie State -1.5 *9 EST OU was buried against Florida this weekend and failed to reach 55 points on offense and they face the #1 offense in the Big 12 in Okie State who quite frankly simply has a better team, better players, and vastly more offense. Lon Kruger is rebuilding this season and while neither of these teams is going to contend for a Big 12 title, Okie State is 5-8 points better here. Okie State playing with 7-time revenge and have not beaten OU since Feb. of 2013. Think they want this one? The Cowboys lead the Big 12 in 3 pointers made, OU is second to last! I will take the more consistent scoring team who no doubt is highly motivated Play 1 Unit on Okie State |

01-29-17 | Illinois State -7 v. Evansville | 69-59 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
#863 - Illinois State -7 to 7.5 max *4 EST The Purple Aces are having issues scoring, 58 ppg their last 5, and they are playing the top team in the conference here. Illinois St is ALLOWING just 57 ppg their last 5! Need I say more. Evansville has dropped 7 straight games - and ISU is a 60% ATS cover team on the road this season so far.

01-28-17 | Kansas v. Kentucky -7 | 79-73 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
#604 - Kentucky -7 *6:15 EST Kansas beat up and depleted in depth with recent suspensions and if they got waxed on the road at West Virginia what is Kentucky going to do to them. Not sold on Kansas being ranked this high, they exposed by a good team again. Kentucky has won their last 4 home games by 98 points, that is 24 ppg spread per game. While Kansas looked like a public take here, I will lay it and go against the grain. Kentucky has better athletes and are deeper and if Kansas gets in foul trouble Kentucky can pull away.

01-28-17 | Loyola-Chicago -1.5 v. Indiana State | 81-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
#555 - Loyola Chicago -1.5 *2 EST Too much offense for Indiana State to contend with even at home, and ISU plays little defense. Short number on the road where Loyola Chicago has struggled but this is a very beatable opponent. 1 Unit on Loyola Chicago |

01-28-17 | St Bonaventure +6.5 v. Rhode Island | 59-71 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
#539 - St. Bonaventure +6.5 *2 EST Not sold on Rhode Island laying this number. St. Bonny's has been a rock solid road team all season at 7-2 ATS and they are 9-1 ATS in this series, and have the better offense and Rhode Island stinks at the free throw line as well, just 58% in their last 5 games., This will be a close one. Play 1 Unit on St. Bonaventure |

01-27-17 | Green Bay +7.5 v. Oakland | 80-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
#883 - Wisconsin GREEN BAY +7.5 *9 EST No idea why Oakland is laying his many as their home court is not overwhelming, as both these teams are explosive on offense and GB in their last 5 games is averaging 77 ppg, and Oakland just 71 a game in the same timeframe and are shooting just 21% from 3-point range. GB playing with double revenge after getting swept last year, allowing Oakland 111 points in both games. Oakland in a recent game lost to Wright State by 21 points and Green Bay beat that same by 17. High scoring, GB hangs around, grab the points. Play 1 Unit on Green Bay |
