UK Patterson out for the year

Just in case there are any Kentucky fans out there, it should be noted that Patrick Patterson has a stress fracture in his ankle and is out for the year. The wildcats had been coming on lately and making a run for the tournament after horrible preseason losses to Garder Webb and San Diego. They play at Tennessee tomorrow and were likely to get killed. I would imagine, this injury takes the wind out of their sails.

Saturday picks:

MARQUETTE -3.5 vs. Georgetown
The Golden Eagles have been turning it on recently, while the Hoyas are nothing special; 1-3 vs. the top 50 on the road.

MISSISSIPPI STATE +4 @ Florida
Two evenly matched teams here. I will go with the elders in an upset here.

STANFORD -4.5 vs. Washington state
I will go with the Moron Twins in this game. They are now getting help from Goods and others. The cougars are very ordinary.

Tough lines out there on the Gonzaga/St. Mary's game at-6.5. SMC, or Patty Mills is hitting a wall now, which is not the best time to do it. Gonzaga is 50-2 at home, so an upset in not likely. I was all set to bet against Vanderbilt +6 at Arkansas after their big victory over Tennessee. The line is too high though.

Oh, congratulations to all of us. It's March!
