Targeting 23 & 25 Feb Update

Here are some updates on the games I am targeting for Feb 23 & 25


Feb 23


Cleveland St/Detroit- Cleveland St dropped 2 games against Valpo and Butler. Of note, Cleve St scored in the 40's both games which is not their style with poor shooting in both games. 


South Alabama/Fla Atl- Both teams won their games this week and looked good in doing so.


Milwaukee/UIC- Both teams lost on Thursday, UIC looking pretty bad in the process.


Oakland/UMKC- Big win the other day for UMKC. Oakland has been on scoring tear again.


Wisconsin/Iowa- Nothing of note here so far. 


BYU/Gonzaga- Gonzaga got a big revenge win against St Mary's and will have revenge against BYU...hmmm.

Feb 25

Creighton/Indiana St- Two headlines, Creighton all of sudden struggling and Indiana St hitting all their 3's.

Drake/Wichita St- Drake followed their big upset win vs Wichita St with 3 straight losses. Meanwhile WSU has won their games since losing to Drake and crushed Creighton.

Providence/Depaul- Both teams continue to get their brains beat in by Big East competition.

Saint Louis/Rhode Island- Nothing of note.

Missouri St/Evansville- Big win for the Purple Aces against Creighton. See if it is a catalyst to a strong finish. 

Missouri/Kansas- Will be the marquee matchup of the day. Both teams shredded Baylor.

Boise St/Wyoming- Big win for Wyoming against unlv only to be followed by an ugly loss against NM. Shaping up to be a must win for Wyoming.

Miss St/Bama- Nothing of note

Northwestern/Penn St- NU seems to be peaking with some tough games ahead.

Cal Poly/UCSB- Interesting scheduling heading into this game. This game will be the 3rd straight road game for Cal Poly while UCSB will be returning home after 7 of 8 on road. 

Targeting Feb 23 and 25

 I have decided to look at moving this blog into the real world and start tweeting, retweeting, facebooking, etc and trying to go to the next level.

So I will be updating the site and getting that set up.

In the meantime, got a Vegas trip on the horizon. As many of you know, it is something of a letdown to go to Vegas from the sportsbook point of view. The internet sites have many more options and games than most of the sportsbooks. Nevertheless Vegas has great appeal and is well worth the trip.

To get ready for the trip, I have picked 6 games for Thursday 2/23 and 10 for Saturday 2/25 to study and look to dominate those sides.

For the next couple of of weeks I will be tracking them and gathering info. Feel free to help me out by sending me any thoughts on the teams leading to their games.

If I have any 5 star picks, I will post them otherwise will be tracking these games.

Here are the games:

Thursday:

Detroit/Cleveland St

S. Alabama/Fla Intl

Milwaukee/UIC

Oakland/UMKC (might drop this one, not sure a decent line will be available)

Wisconsin/Iowa

BYU/Gonzaga

Saturday:

Creighton/Indiana St

Drake/Wichita St

Providence/Depaul

Saint Louis/Rhode Island

Missouri St/Evansville

Missouri/Kansas

Boise St/Wyoming

Miss St/Bama

Northwestern/Penn St

Cal Poly/UCSB
