4* CBB play

[shorty3830]

21-16 on the year (+29 units)

It looks like saturday will be the next 10* star play, trying to go 4-0 on those on the year, lets hope everything falls in place

meantime--->
4*Creighton (-3.5) Bradley----->Crighton comes into conference play undefeated with 2 serious road tests already which they passed as well as a very tough home rivalry game vs. a good nebarska team which they controlled throughout............Bradley is not that bad but has to be suffereing from the loss of their best player Gilbert, who is out again tonight.........since the loss of gilbert, bradley was routed by UNLV and could not score but beat a lowly indiana state team at home by 12

creighton has been at home for 2 weeks resting and preparing for conference play...........a lot of people have touted wichita state as the team to challenge creighton this year but they suddenly suck and creighton seems to just re-load and have a senior laden roster....that should be enough

maybe adding cal poly later, will post if so
good luck

Man are you sure Shorty. I hate to doubt you but I have been waiting for this game for a while. Bradley was gonna be my game of the month. I was gonna fire. You probably saved me. Good luck.

[checkers]

Yep yep.. leading scorer for Bradley is out....
Go Creighton !!!!!!!!!!!

leo my man

as i have stated many times before, unless my play is 5 stars or higher, i am barely over a 50% capper.........

you will know when i love a game............i will usually bust out some sarcastic banter and will classify it as five stars or more, although i do not use terms like 'lock' or give guarantees......

if you loved bradley with some superior knowledge, go with it, at least one of us will win........believe me, i am gonna feel worse if i talked you out of it and you switch your pick than if creighton gets crushed.............i just think they lose a lot with gilbert out and cregihton seems as good as ever with all those seniors

so either way................

good luck

I know what you mean. I went to the Creighton SWMS game last tuesday. SWMS had them on the ropes all game. Creighton got their second lead late in the game and pulled away for a single digit win. So I then dubbed Bradley who I think wins the Valley Conference. Playing at home I figure they upset Creighton for their first loss of the year. But regardless of your rating on a game you are too good for me to fade. I also didn't know that Bradleys best player was out. Thanks for that info as well. I will watch your creighton play as it will be a no play for me. Creighton is my home team anyhow and go to several games so I like not playing against them anyhow. Good Luck.

GL tonight!!

[shorty3830]

you gotta know that.....

when this group replies positively to one of my picks, we are in good shape

leo, i hope you did not take bradley, i wish i could have been more convincing but with guys like you, lewis, homer, wayne, mmm, so many others, i do not talk people out of picks.........i did not know you lived there so you probably knew more than i

i guess the thing is that some teams can lose their best player and it be no big deal, some teams cannot..........bradley was unimpressive those 2 games but luckily we got some line value when they beat indiana state.........may wanna watch bradley the next couple games

anyway leo, is creighton a lock for the mvc?? i think so...........
homer, checkers, lewis, thanks for checkin in

like i said earlier, i may have a biggie on saturday but i do not know yet..........

at midnight, hawaii sucks, but we have no line value b/c nevada beat kansas.,..but watch this hawaii team the next couple weeks, we may get a 5-10 star out of them, they are atrocious

great night

Let's end the night w/ another winner !!

checkers

i forgot to say thank you too, but those guys (and gal) i thanked have been around a little bit longer, but thank you for your support

now to your nevada q--->(not that you care about my history lesson, but here goes). my biggest fault in cbb handicapping is i realize a team is either really over valued or really undervalued and then wait for the right moment to pound them..............before saturday night, i had this actual game set up for hawaii because hawaii is really really overvalued, they are not a good team.........but hawaii goes and loses to a beat up fresno team and couple that with nevada beating kansas and blowing out sjsu on the road and we have lost our value

with that said, yes, i will take nevada but probably for a 2 unit play and i only post 3 or higher..........so yes, i will have it but very small.....hawaii sucks though and can't score..........nevada is filled with confidence right now so i think you will win it......but we seem to be riding a good wave, so i will play it small

lets bring it home

good luck bro

Shorty, nice selection. Congrats

[davidguy]

Im going with Nevada (2 units) in this one also.. Hawaii has played good at home, but really hasnt played anybody yet.. Good luck!!

[checkers]

Thank you for your words shorty...
I agree w/ you about the value here isn't an advantage for Nevada but Hawaii does sux... they haven't beaten any good teams @ home so far...

Nevada comes in having an easy one vs SJose St....Snyder and Pickney got a lot fo rest in the second half and freshman Kemp was able to show himself a little.....saw hawaii on Saturday night and this club has no identity..they basically pass till Kuebler is open to shoot.....Kuebler has been a dreadful slump as Fresno st pressure defense was too much...

Snyder is a tough match for Hawaii...they have no one witht he size and speed combo to guard him.......Pinkney is also a tough guard for Haim Shimonovich...this guy gets into foul trouble so early in the game......and has no mobility to guard an active center

The Warriors are reaching right now..they have rebounding problems, thier best shooter is way off, and their bench is horrid..
So let's hope Nevada can take it tonight !!!
GL !

good call shorty, keep up the good work

[Cashmoneyasians]

Stay away from Hawaii at home. They are solid at home and crap on the road. The last game against Fresno was a let down game after winning the Rainbow Classic B-Ball Tournament. I would play the money line on San Jose State when Hawaii takes to the road for the first time as they should be giving at least 6 or 7 so you should get great value on the money line. Hawaii at home, is solid. On the road, crap.

Good luck.
