Monday NCAA Hoops

[Carpet]

One game that jumps off the floor for Monday

Kansas State + 9.5 vs Texas

I have watched Texas games ever since they beat Illinois in Overtime this year, and follow K State only because of Jacob Pullen a Chicago product, that being said I know both teams well.

It seems to me that Texas is Over Rated and K State is under rated at present time, I look at who is playing well and hitting stride as a team and who is not.

K State matches up well down low with the Texas bigs, and the wild card here is going to be that special point guard of K State Jacob Pullen.

Give me 9.5 points with Jacob Pullen to cover........

GL all.

I am with you on this one...I grabbed it at +10 with a 1/2 point buy. Only thing that scares me is the line. Whenit gets up to 10, I see a better chance of a blowout. It has moved down a bit to+8.5 at some places too this morning.

I also like Nova +5 at ND. May be a trap but I will take the points everytime in this spot. Nova off 2losses and I feel ND is slightly over-rated as well. Nova wins this one to get back on track.

[woodee12]

Anyone have a good reason that Nova +5 is NOT the best play on the board tonight??? I have 2 units on it already but I really think Nova wins this one SU!

K-State now down to +8.5 You guys did well at +9.5 and +10!

I think Texas and K-State will run and go over 135.5.

I also like Nova getting 5 at ND. Should be a tough battle.

Texas/K-State over 135.5
Nova +5

Hey Boys!

Sorry I missed you over the weekend. Just very hectic with some bizarre work issues.

Anyway, I did have the same picks as Carpet yesterday..It's very enjoyable watching a game in which you know a few minutes into the game you are on the right and not will not be threatened (CT & Purdue).

And, today, I am in agree with everyone on Villanova +5 (damn ND allowed the backdoor cover) and are overrated. K-St +9, that's just way too many points.

Here is another thing to look into...for those of you with a certain sportsbook that offers live betting, consider jumping into hockey live betting especially before the start of the 3rd period. The book offers when will a penalty be called in the 3rd period. First 5 minutes, after 5 minutes or none. I took none on the Hawks/Phoenix game last night @ 13-1! Usually, in hockey, if the game is competitive, you basically have to have a major infraction to have a penalty called. You can look through some other box scores through the season and if the game is close and the teams are in the running for playoff position the refs generally take the same stance in playoff hockey, no harm no foul...Just a little insight into the game of hockey and the live betting opportunity. I was a hockey fanantic many years ago, so just sharing my thoughts.

Im with u guys on both games was able to grab the kstate at +9.5
also nova +5

[widestrides]

I dunno. I just read some pretty convincing points favoring ND. It's Senior night and they have revenge motivation as Nova has beaten these Seniors two years in a row.

And ND is only 1 game behind Pitt and owns the tiebreaker.

So ND will be highly motivated. Will it be worth 5?

I haven't placed my wager yet, so I think I will pass on it and enjoy the game. Maybe make a halftime wager.

I’ll agree with Wide and just drink the K State kool aid and go with

713 K State +9

Good luck to all!

Well, I hate to say it, but I am on the other side of everyone here. I like ND for the reasons stated above and I like Texas coming off of the loss. Also, KSt has not faired that well on the road. That was in January and maybe they have gelled more now. I tried to switch in my head to go with you guys, but couldn't. I will be watching for the halftime line. I had a really good weekend, so I will stick to my guns. Speaking of halftime lines, anyone else get the over in the Wash-Wash St game? They had 41 combined at the half and the over flew over in the 2nd half by 29 pts.

[woodee12]

Tough lines tonight really. Could go either way on both games. I see the dogs either winning or both huge blow-outs by the favs. Texas in particular.

Nova is a toss up and probably should pass but with tourney time coming up, 3 staright losses is not good, so I feel they hang enough...just hope FT don't sink them at the end and lose by 6?

GL guys!

Do like Idaho State in the late game too. Got +7.5 earlier on it.

[woodee12]

NBA

Nets +3 over Phoenix

[woodee12]

well these oddsmakers sure know how to trap a guy...+5 sheesh!!

[wisconsin5473]

The Texas line is going back up. I got them at -8.

[wisconsin5473]

Villanova probably a good HT bet. I will have to check the line. Wide what do you think?

[woodee12]

I just grabbed the 'live' at +19.5 (-120)
