Hopefully better thoughts than yesterday

It is busy, but I shall try to get something written and hopefully have a few net winners. I try to write up a game where the line is still available. I also try to write up the bigger plays. Obviously i bet many more games than written, but often the number is gone or it is not worth talking about.
Chattanooga has been sidetracked by a myriad of injuries this entire season. They have played well below their expected level. But conference tourney week, is like a new season and Chattanooga finally totally healthy, put together a huge second half in getting away from a Samford team, playing for a first round bye. Coach Shulman has talked about reinventing the wheel in 4 days prior to this tourney. They are playing a Georgia Southern team that is very young, overachieved in conference and played the final game to get a first round bye. Teams tend to level off in conference tournies, meaning underachievers are typically good bets. Believe Chattanooga is the better team and is now healthy and ready to show it. Chattanooga plus 2 minus 20 BIG!!!
I do not understand all this Butler money. The teams have been rated even all season. True Butler played their best game of the year in routing Wright State, but Wiscy Miluakee jumped out 34-6 in their easy win. Wiscy miluakee closed 3.5 at home winning by 11 and Butler closed 4 at home, coming from 10 down to win by 4. There is no evidence that Butler is now 3 better than WIscy Mil. Wiscy Miluakee plus 3.

I shall try to answer as many questions as I read. I responded to the 2 I saw from yesterday.
I shall post a couple of more later. Sorry I did not have time to mention the early games.

Very true and with back to back final fours, become the March flavor of the month.

Completely agree that UW Milwaukee is quietly the best team in the conference coming down the stretch. Very athletic and ready to take down this tourney.

When I was in town, back in the day, we used to butt heads at the Lottery. You always wanted to know who I was moving for? My stock answer was "myself." Good luck

Boston which coaches are very good at conference tourneys in terms of getting the most out of their teams? Also who is very poor at quick turn around situations?

As I wrote, I am trying to write up only the best games, where the number is still available. Telling you I layed 6 with western carolina or layed 6.5 with Niagara does not do anyone any good.

Interesting. I like the under-the-radar type feel to EOG. Exclusivity at the right price ($0.00)

This is too funny. Why do you care? If you weren't interested in Alan's thoughts, you wouldn't read the thread, right. So what happened here is you bet Alan's stuff, it lost & now you're pissing & moaning. Stay out of his threads, simple as that.

Has this Teddy clown ever said anything nice about anyone in his life? ...probably not.

He must be a miserable person.

Do yourself a favor Teddy boy....just go ahead and pull the trigger.

While teddy's post is over the top, I think you need to realise your posts are not far behind when it comes to creaming up the website. Posting plays on a forum will always have complications considering the dynamics involved, however I see Alan Bostons posts as an entirely different situation to others.

Alan has proven to be most knowledgeable on several occasions and I for one am grateful for his views over the last 2 years. Not only have they been successful but he has a straight forward no bullshit approach unlike many I could name so thanks again Alan, keep up the good work. :cheers

Alan,

Dont you have to like defensive minded Butler today in an elimination game at a Pk vs an overrated Valpo team with a less than 100% center? I thought butler out played valpo the last 30 minutes of their 12 point loss in the last meeting, just not on the scoreboard.

Re: Hopefully better thoughts than yesterday

Yes sir, I am on Butler at pick. I watched the last Valpo Butler game. I agree, things did not go their way. EVery bounce went to Valpo, Butler missed many easy shots. They could never get over the hump. Valpo also won the first game. I do not think they can make it 3. Conference tourney home floors are not as big as regular season as all teams are entitled to tickets. Butler has played a game on the floor, so the travel and novelty of playing on the court are no longer. Valpo overachieved this year. I do believe they will level off. I played Butler at pick but did not post originally as pick does not exist.

Re: Hopefully better thoughts than yesterday

While Memphis is talented as fuck, I do not believe they can win an NCAA tourney game. Their total lack of half court offense should lead to a quick elimination. They were life and death to beat a very average Xavier team. Yes, they have improved as the year has gone on, but I do not think they have enough talent to overcome their lack of basketball smarts.

I thought Pastner would be an improvement over Calipari.

Apparently not.

John, respect your basketball opinion (and like paStnor) but that's crazy. People may not like cal but he's the best in the business.

Re: Hopefully better thoughts than yesterday

I think they've gotten worse. Carmouche out, stud frosh Thomas out for the season, those are reasons they'll probably not win a game in the tournament. With those guys in the lineup Memphis goes from a good starting 5 to a starting 5 + deep bench. As it stands when Black gets in foul trouble they have to scramble big. Plus Barton bails them out a lot. Wonder if Jackson is still the head case he was midseason
they were overrated to begin with based on their game vs AZ lsat year when in reality they shouldn't have been in the tourney to begin with last year

They have won/covered 7 of their last 8 winning by an average of 18 or so.They might not be deep or smart but your bankroll has disappeared if you've been betting against um recently.I had Tulsa Saturday & they ran an ok team right out of the gym.Granted conf USA aint much but they have been recent moneymakers

Re: Hopefully better thoughts than yesterday

why would i bet against them? just because they're getting worse doesn't mean they're not the class of the league. Still think S-Miss can cause as many headaches if they'd play Dodson more. If you're telling me they're a more difficult matchup without Carmouche and Thomas than they were with them, then we'll have to agree to disagree. They have the same problems as last year, which is why you see them laying an egg at home vs. UTEP like they did a couple times last year vs. ECU. They still have the talent to cause someone problems in the big dance, no question.

Tulsa's been overrated all season. If Maduka improves though the guy could be all-league down the road. They have a lot coming back.

I was big on So Miss but they have seemingly regressed.I thiught they would definately get an at-large bid a month ago but not now.They are well coached and play good dee which could get them USA title.
