Tuesday NIT action:
684 - Notre Dame -2 vs Kentucky (-120)
Almost just gotta win this one with ND who is always damn good at home. A prize trip to MSG and a nice spotlight looms for the Irish who are playing thier third game in a row at home with four extra days to prepare and practice. Kentucky coach on the hot seat and they struggled to beat Creighton on the road. Creighton is not chopped liver, especially at home but Kentucky should have been able to outclass them with pure size and athleticism. That will not be the case in South Bend. I am still envisioning a St. Marys/Notre Dame showdown in The Garden so I will just keep riding these two til they lose. Especially as a small favorite or dog.
685 - St.Marys +3 @ San Diego
St. Marys beat this team at San Diego in non conference, in a close one where Patty Mills was held to 13 points. No letdown, from what Ive heard in interviews with Mills, in this St. Marys squad that missed the NCAAs, a classy dude that really seems to get IT. No disrespect to a solid SDSU squad that plays pretty good defense but I think this Gaels team has got it into high gear with the Davidson win and I will be riding them all the way through the finals any time they are a small favorite or a dog. SD has a third home game with extra days but Davidson is not Kentucky. They are better and focused and match up very well with SD. Lots of big athletic players in the West Coast conference so Gaels will be able to handle the matchup departments well.
Good luck everyone.
