I got the following...all the same size, I quit making bigger/smaller bets years ago. I decided if it's worth betting, it's worth betting for an equal amount. I've become pretty disciplined sticking to that. Not really sure if it helps or not, but.... :lol: Georgia +8.5 Xavier is better but Georgia ...

Sounds fun........I've been taking it in the shorts ATS this season....maybe I'll turn it around in the tourney!

Thanks MGO!

Can't argue with you.......I had Portland + the points last time; naturally they lost by 1/2 point. I'm sure PHX wins by 3 or less or loses outright... :cry:

I took PHX and laid the 3.5......mostly I was tired of going to the fourth page of the other thread and figured it's 'bout time to start a new one.......carry on gentlemen.

Duke underrated?????? Duke is a good team.....they were ranked in the top 5-7 much of the year,they are a two seed, they are on TV three times a day.........Duke hasn't been underrated since about 1986.....

Vegas isn't setting lines based on who they think will win......the lines are based on public perception and to get action on both sides. Vegas doesn't care what the seeds are and are probably a more accurate reflection of public perception. But in most cases Vegas wants even money on both sides.......

And we all know Roy Williams couldn't coach his way out of a paper box. His coaching strategy is "I've got 5 guys better than any 1 player on your team, now let's see you try and stop them". But when he goes up against a team that has a couple guys as good or better than anyone on his tea...

The amount of $$ I wager in pools positivey pales in comparison to the amount I have in play for any given game/round! :shock: I like to do well in pools for the sport of it....rarely do any good at all in them. However, if I had a dollar for every game I was actively rooting against my pool, well.....

No team in history has ever been snubbed by the NCAA since it expanded to 64-65 teams. There may be teams more deserving than teams that got it, but there's no such thing as a snub. If you don't get in you have no one but yourself to blame. It's really pretty simple on how you make the Big Dance......

I've never thought injuries should affect seeding......the selection committee should look at the body of work of the season, not be getting out their crystal ball and predicting what will happen in the future, or how an injury will/will not affect a team's performance. The Kenyon Martin injury a fe...

That "Mickey Mouse" league had a team with a pretty decent run in the tourney last year.......WAC was a bit down this year, but NMSU, Nevada and Utah State usually have pretty decent squads.

Hey now......no bringing up Bradley in my thread!!

:D

I'm tired of hearing about how this team or that team deserves or doesn't deserve to be in the tournament.......I'm really sick of hearing people say the WCC doesn't deserve three teams, that this will cause legit teams such as Maryland, Va Tech, Syracuse, Arizona State or whatever "bubble"...

Terrible call at the end of the game.....it's the second or third time this year I've seen a similar call at the end of a game. Point guard drives straight into center, gets shot blocked, gets bailed out by officials on a foul call. I don't understand it.....just a plain terrible call. The intention...

As the great Billy Tubbs once said........and I paraphrase: Kansas wasn't running up the score; they were doing Tech a favor by letting them know just how much they need to improve to compete with a program like Kansas!!

I loved Billy Tubbs!

And that diminishes Beasley's worth as a player how??

He only went for 30 pts and 15 boards.......not much of a game......the loss rests squarely on his shoulders.

Please take back what I said about Kansas being a title contender......they simply do not play composed basketball at the end of close games thus eliminating them from winning 6 games in March. Pitiful.

Even the ESPN honks were laughing at Phoenix' "defense." I couldn't stop laughing. They shored up their post D by getting another guy who absolutely refuses to defend any play that's set up high (which a huge chuck of NBA teams are doing these days)? All Nash did was wave his arms around....

Love Painter for Coach of the Year. That is a very fun team to watch play. As for conference rankings, I wouldn't say that I disagree all that much except that I don't see a real big drop off from any one conference to the next. I don't see any major drop offs. Maybe it's me. I'd love to see Kansas ...

Nobody would be "accomodating" anybody......they would be improving their team.

Beasley won't be playing in San Antonio anyway.....so it's an irrelevant debate.

Regardless.......we'll see how it plays out next year.

Yet he still managed to crack the starting lineup as a rook!

You saying Beasley is only a four is the problem we're having. The guy is a 3 or 4 and in a pinch he could serve as a 5. I find it laughable that if the Spurs had Beasley you are saying there is no way he could crack that starting line-up? If you were Popovich Dinsdale you wouldn't find a way to get...

Geez Dins......weren't you the guy ordering banners when you all got Oden?? Last time I checked I have as many NBA buckets as he does.....

True and I've been around this board for a long time and I don't ever remember even one person who promoted Stromile Swift as anything more than what he is right now.

And Dins......I never mentioned benching hall of famers for Beasley......I said he'd start for any team in the NBA right now. BIG Difference.

Mook

Would you care to provide me with a list of teams/team that Beasley WOULD NOT start for right now? I'm anxiously waiting..... Depends whether he can show an ability to play the 3. The NBA game is definitely evolving to more of an up-and-down style, rather than the power-game that's been prominant f...

As far as "would start for any NBA team".... uh, yeah. You know what you're talking about. A rook is still a rook, a hall of famer is still a hall of famer. Yeah, better put Kevin Garnett on the bench to get Beasley in there :canyoufeelthemrolling?: I know it's a radical idea.....but mayb...

Beasley is jut unbelievable. Best college freshman I think I've ever seen....... With the new rule, this will become the norm. Those 3-4 kids each year that got drafted into the NBA will now be playing college ball for one year. Durant, Oden, Beasley...none of these kids would have even considered ...

In light of Beasley's performance against Mizzou this weekend, I thought a bump of this thread was in order.
