Thursday 2/24 College & Pro Hoops Tread

[widestrides]

Damn, should have kept UConn under.

But my NC Greensboro over is looking good. It is 31-26 after only 5 minutes of play. They are on a pace for 456!!!!

[widestrides]

Oops! Obviously my scoreboard was wrong on the Greensboro game. It said first half.

Against Elon a game ago, it was 99-90. Tonight 57-56. Go figure!

[widestrides]

Added Marquette ML in the OT.

Penn State 18-2 over NW after 8 minutes. C'mon NW! WTF!

Added 2Hs:

Northwestern -4.5 2H
NW/PSU under 69.5 2H

4-5 with Arizona and Boise to go.

My Dog System went 3-1 so that helped the cause.

Very quiet at USC compared to the wild atmospheres you get elsewhere for big games in college basketball. AZ by 3 at the half. Could go either way.

Arizona and USC was one ugly game to watch

Arizona and USC was one ugly game to watch

Rick,

If you look at USC's PAC 10 record, with the exception of the Feb. 17 game with Cal, because of their 7 man rotation and minimal bench, they have to slow the game down and as you stated and win "ugly". They cannot run up and down the court and match with Arizona and Washington's fast paced scoring style.

There were 3 on the board who won on USC.

Saturday, AZ gets to match up against UCLA whose coach (Ben Howland) will play the same style as USC did last night. However, that's not to say his players will. On the other hand, AZ will speed it up and bait the UCLA players into a fast paced style game. Should be interesting.

AZ and USC WAS ugly! I swear those bums from AZ didn't even break a sweat, especially Derrick Williams. AZ will not be going very far in the NCAA's. Only Washington will get to the Sweet 16.

Utah Jazz +6
Clippers (ptuee) +10.5
