Going to tempt fate in this one.
5 Star Play
Baylor -3 vs Texas A&M- Not sure why but I have lost all year betting on or against A&M. Baylor has been an up and down team but I am looking for a solid effort tonight. A&M has pulled out some tough road wins but I look for their luck to run out tonight.

Hoops February 26
Here is my early game lineup.
5 Star Play
Kansas St -4 vs Missouri K State has not been the factor that a lot of us thought they would be this year. However, with Tourney time approaching, they are a team to keep an eye. If Pullen can get hot, he can carry them along way. Mizzoo's wide open style should play into the hands of K State especially if they can bury some 3's early.
Top Plays
San Diego St -3 vs BYU and Missouri St -1 vs Wichita St
Both of these games will determine their respective conference champions. For San Diego St, they are stil looking for the national recognition that has eluded them. For Missouri St, they are looking to wrap up a tournament bid regardless of what they do in their post season tourney. I like both home teams to make a statement.

College Hoops Feb 24
Nice effort last night by Missouri St. Time to keep it going.
5 Star Play
USC -1.5 vs Arizona- I was able to successfuly fade Arizona on Saturday and I like tonight's game even better. Arizona was able to win a squeaker but they needed a bit of luck to get the win but were not able to cover. The game against Washington was an up and down game with little defense.
Against USC they face a whole different attack. When USC wins, they play solid defense and hit the boards. Arizona will be in for a rude awakening when they allow easy baskets but get stifled on offense. Add the homecourt advantage for USC on top of that and you will see another top 10 team fall hard.

One game that I really like tonight.
5 Star Play
Missouri St -4.5 vs Southern Ill- Missouri St was an unsuccesful pick for me last saturday as they came up against a Valpo team that brought its A+ game. Missouri St actually played pretty well but Valpo played way over their heads. This was evidenced by them losing the other night to Wisconsin Green Bay a team not nearly as talented.
Anyhow, I maintain that Missouri State is a very talented team and will bouce back in an important game for them. They are still in a good position for a tourney birth and need to keep winning conference games to solidify. For S. Ill, it has been a long season and I don't see them having the motivation to keep up tonight.

College Hoops 2/19
Feeling good about these picks...
Top Picks
Alabama/Arkansas under 129- Bama is hitting their stride and making a run towards the tournament. Their calling card is defense and a deliberate offense that runs through the post. Those 2 factors will keep the score low.
OK St -2 vs A&M- The aggies are a bubble team and will use this showcase gae to get them in position for a post season run.
Leans
Washington +2.5- Curious line in this one. Arizona is highly ranked while Washington started fast but has tailed off. However Zona at home is only a 2.5 fav? That's my cue to take the Huskies.
Cincinatti -1.5 vs Providence- I am trying to be leary of road favorites but I think this is a good spot for the Bearcats to take take of business. Providence has some talent but the Bearcats are making their run to get a tourney bid and will be all business in this and get the cover.
Missouri St +2 vs Valparaiso- This is a real nice match up and Missouri St is a very good team that few people know about. They definitely need this one to bolster their rankings and give them a boost as they head towards their post season tourney.

Rookies vs Sophomores All Star Game
I took a little break to lock myself in the lab and get some picks together.
No official picks tonight but some fun with Rooks/Soph game.
I am putting a little parlay on the Sophs -5.5 and over 252.5 and taking a flyer that the MVP will be Stephon Curry +700.
This is usually nothing more than a really ragged game which features a lot of dunks and 3 point shots. Hopefully Stephon will get hot and get the much vaunted MVP call.

NBA and College Hoops Feb 9
Time to work on basketball full time again.
Nothing too exciting tonight but there are a couple of games I like.
NBA
Cavaliers -1.5 vs Detroit- The losing streaks ends tonight for Clevetown.
Chicago/Utah under 194.5- The bulls have been torched the last 2 games on the road. Their defense will be much improved tonight. Not sure if it will be enough to win but should be lower scoring.
NCAA
Missouri -3.5 vs Texas A&M- Good chance for the Buffs to get a quality win vs a fading Aggies team.
