Thursday Hoops

Post your thoughts/plays here.

I am reviewing the card now and will be back.

Illinois +8 vs. Indy---hmmmmm? Indy has OSU on deck. Illinois has the team to knock them off if they decide to play to thier potential.

Duke -10.5 over NC State--revenge game, but is this line too high???

[Carpet]

I see a 18 point beat down of Illinois tonight

I'm glad I will be at the GB/Wright St game tonite, cause these lines are tuff. Illini down to 6.5 at sportbook.com? I'd have to go with Carpet here if I play it. And I agree, that Duke line too high for me. So far my only play is GB-6 at home to wright st. Wright St been playing over their heads, picked last in conference. GB been getting it together lately, and need to protect home court. GL

[woodee12]

Line has dropped to 6.5.
I an foolish but I played Illinois small at +8. Hopefully they have a game plan for zeller. more bets on Indy but line dropped.

[Carpet]

This line on Illinois makes zero sense to me. Illinois has no answer for Indianas inside game

[oldluds]

Yeah, I can't pass that 6.5 up, loading up on the Hoosiers. Woodee, don't like going against you, but you said you did go small, and we have a middle of 7

Staying away from the big boys.

Troy + 6.5 over S. Ala (opened at 8.5)
W. Ky +2 over N. Tx (opened at 3.5)

N.C. State +11 @ Duke - NC St has only lost 1 game all year by more than 7 pts, and their 3 conference road losses have been by a combined 6 pts. But what effect will PG Lorenzo Brown's absence have? He had 12 points and 13 assists in NC State's win over Duke earlier this year. Duke has won their 4 home conference games by 18, 28, 16 and 20 but this will be likely be tougher than those match-ups.
Maryland -5 @ V.T. - V.T. is giving up 74 ppg so not sure they can match that offensively.

Playing a parlay at 3-1 odds,
Maryland -2 (bought 3)
NC St +14 (bought 3)
Ari. St. -2 (bought 2.5)

Went with some West Coast action:

BYU -7.5
Portland -2
Colorado +6.5
Washington State +4
Arizona State -4

[Krichinsky]

No "Zooky" play tonight!

[Carpet]

What huge win for Illinois I am for once glad I was wrong

[Carpet]

Beating a number one team really has got to help Illinois resume, as they have beat 5 ranked top 20 teams this year including a signature win over # 1 Indiana

Jeckell and Hyde with this team Illinois

Every Illinois fan in the nation is speachless, and yes the fans rushed the court after the game something that Illinois usually never does.

[Krichinsky]

Dragon, way to hang on for the tri...nice win.

[woodee12]

Zeller???
Love the Illinois win!
But zeller. Stand under the basket ??

Oregon-- just ruined my night su. Had them in a large ml parlay.

I am stepping back. See you guys conf tourney time.

A mentally challenged monkey could pick better than me. Or play/coach better than soE of these teams.
How can Oregon lose at home up that much all game?

Thanks...all squeakers but one of those rare nights where everything fell right into place at the end. Also won with Texas A&M +4.5 2nd H by a mere 1/2 pt. Just doesn't happen for me like that very often.
