Another Hoops Day

The very accurate pick of South Carolina that has been on this page for 2 weeks is not enough to make B. Anthony happy. The continued at or below 50% effort is just not good enough. As has been previously noted, in order to truly succeed, I need to get away from all the top 25 games. However, the mass audience out there, only wants to follow and bet on the games they can watch on TV they don't really want to win. They want to enjoy. That being said. I am going to venture into the more obscure conferences for some of my picks tonight, while still providing picks for the top 25 junkies.

Best 3 plays tonight

Northeastern -10 v Drexel. Drexel is down this year, and Northeastern has been rolling. Working on 11 wins in a row. That is confidence!


Marshall +1.5 vs Memphis. Huge game for the Thundering Herd. Plus they have a lottery pick in the line up! Hassan Whiteside will make the difference, defending the paint

UNC Charlotte +1.5 vs Temple. Time for the Owls to take one on the chin. Tough place to play!



Best of the Rest



Texas -17 vs Texas Tech. Someone is going to pay for last week. I am glad it is someone related to Bob Knight. Tech schedules patsy's early to build the resume, then gets pounded against real competition. Pat's team plays no defense, his dad should be disgusted. By the way, Knight is the worst announcer on TV. I mute both he and Vitale now. All he says is "they need to pass more, set some screens, run my offense, then they will be good. He abuses KStates offense as they are upsetting the #1 team in the country. The idiot doesn't realize that all teams switch picks now, and teams with great foot speed will dominate a motion offense. That is why so much spread and isolation is in the game. Shut up and go fishing!


Vanderbilt +6.5 vs Tennessee. Volunteers have come back to planet earth. Letting the idiots back on the team will screw up chemistry. Too many points for a rivalry.


Florida St +13.5 vs Duke. Hate Duke, like good defense and long bodies!



Ohio St -10 vs Iowa. Sorry Seckler. Evan Turner is rolling and OSU wins going away. The effort against Spartans was solid but took a lot out of the Hawkeyes!


New Mexico +1 vs BYU. Mormons are very good, but time has come for them to lose. Can't pick a better place than the Pit for it to happen!



Notre Dame +11 vs Villanova. Harangody is going to go for 35 and keep this close, maybe a big surprise if Nova doesn't come ready to play.



UConn -6 @ Providence. This is a possible trap game for UConn after a big win, but they are hitting their stride and will win going away!


Good Gaming,

B. Anthony
