Insider Edge Sports – Report For Friday March 26, 2004
We do it again, going 2-1 +2.8 Units on Thursday while winning our NCAA Tournament Game of the Year on Oklahoma St. We have 3 more for you for Friday including a big 3 Unit play that will win yet again. We are now 16-6 (72.7%) in the NCAA Tournament and plan to make it 19-6 after tonight. As always, all 3 games are guaranteed to profit. Unlike other services that throw around the word guarantee but don’t back it up, we actually mean it. First game tips at 7:27 pm EST.
For those who missed our NCAA Tournament Game of the Year, this is what our numerous members received:
No. 3 Pittsburgh Panthers vs No. 2 Oklahoma St. Cowboys 7:27 pm EST
Oklahoma St. –1.5 (3 Units)
The Pittsburgh offense has struggled during the first two games of the tournament and if not for their defense, they could be watching this one from home. The Cowboys have a huge advantage on the offensive side of the ball and while the Panthers get all of the credit for their defense, Oklahoma St. can defend very well themselves. The Panthers rank fourth nationally in points allowed per game (56.5 ppg) and sixth in field-goal percentage defense (38.6%). The Cowboys counter with the nation's top field-goal percentage (51.7%), but Oklahoma St. also is considered one of the country's top defensive squads (62.8 ppg allowed). The Cowboys are among the national leaders in field goal percentage defense as well (38.4%). The Cowboys have quickness at all five positions, an attribute that serves them well on both offense and defense. Oklahoma State is one of the nation's top offensive teams because their speed and ballhandling ability make the Cowboys hard to guard. The Cowboys' confidence has never been higher. Oklahoma St. has won 19 of its last 20 games. The only loss was a double-overtime setback at Missouri. "They're balanced," Memphis coach John Calipari said. "They can make 3s when they need them. They grind it out. They set unbelievable screens. They're good at every position. They dribble-drive you. If they're open they make shots." The Cowboys' hopes in the tourney begin and end with point guard John Lucas. He's smart, he can distribute the ball, and he's an accurate shooter. Lucas, Tony Allen and Daniel Bobik make up a solid three-guard rotation, which is a very important aspect this time of year in trying to advance in the tournament. It should be noted that the Cowboys built a huge lead in their last game against Memphis and coasted the rest of the way. That likely will not happen here but Oklahoma St. is aware they need to play a full game to defeat the Panthers. “I think we lost a little bit of our focus and intensity in the second half,” said Oklahoma State guard Daniel Bobik. “It was important for us to stick through it. Hopefully, we won't have any letdowns next game.” These are the types of games that the Cowboys have shined in all season long. "This team really gets excited to play other really good teams," coach Eddie Sutton said. "They have played really well in big games this year. Our biggest games every year are the two against Oklahoma, the two against Texas and the game with Kansas. Our players understand the importance of those type of games. Not only what it means to our student body but what it means to our fans. They've played well in every big game this year. The better the team we go against, the better we play." Oklahoma St. went 6-0 against those three teams. The Panthers have a very slight edge on defense but the Cowboys have a big edge on the other end of the floor and that will be the difference here.

No. 10 Nevada Wolf Pack vs No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 9:40 pm EST
Nevada +4 (2 Units)
We were high on the Wolf Pack all season long but went against them in the first tow rounds thinking they didn’t have what it takes to win these tournament games. Were we ever wrong. They are playing loose and as the 10th seed, they feel no pressure at this point. “We don’t feel like we’re a Cinderella,” said senior point guard Todd Okeson. “We feel like we’re supposed to be in the tournament. We feel like we’re supposed to win.” Georgia Tech enters the game with two ugly wins over Northern Iowa and Boston College that saw them blow double digit leads in both games on more that one occasion. Their 57 points against Boston College was the lowest point total in a Georgia Tech victory during coach Paul Hewitt's four-year tenure. Georgia Tech entered the tournament averaging 78.1 ppg, but has averaged 61 in two games while shooting 45% from the field and 33% from 3-point range. The Yellow Jackets last 4 wins have been by a total of 12 points (3 ppg). Nevada has won 9 in a row and 16 of their last 18. Their win over Kansas on December 21st is looking that much more like it wasn’t just a fluke. Nevada's ball pressure on the perimeter contained both the Spartans and the Bulldogs, while Todd Okeson and emerging star Kirk Snyder led an onslaught from 3-point land. “It helps a lot playing teams that don’t know what we’re doing,” Okeson said. “We have a lot of different offensive sets. In the WAC, people know what we’re doing. These people we’re playing now haven’t seen all of it.” The Wolf Pack scored 91 points versus Gonzaga and own a 9-0 mark when they score more than 80 points this season. Georgia Tech is 1-7 when they allow 80 or more points this season. Nevada is 20-1 this season when it limits its opponents to 69 points or less. Georgia Tech has scored 69 or less in 3 of their last 5 games. They are 3-0 SU in those games but 0-3 ATS. 18 of the Wolf Pack’s 25 wins have come by double-digits this season and eight have come by 20 or more points. Nevada’s five WAC losses this season came by a total of 27 points (5.4 ppg). The Wolf Pack was 5-8 overall on opponents’ home courts and 4-5 in the WAC. But including its last five games, all on neutral courts, it has won its last six games away from Lawlor. Nevada is 15-8 ATS against winning teams and they are a perfect 4-0 ATS as dogs of 3 or more points. They are also 16-5 ATS after a win and 13-3 ATS vs. teams coming off a win.
