Re: Ohio State-Xavier
Good stuff as usual, Micelli. Both you and Dirty convinced me not to bet Ohio State...not sure about xavier though, at least not at +7. I think I know the Ohio State team pretty well, and think they have alot of fire power, so seeing that -7 surprised me a little bit (maybe I'm a bit square-ish on this one).
Not sure if you noticed, but the coverage of this game, immediately upon xavier winning the other night, has been alluding to the tie with Thad Matta, and are really pushing the 'revenge' angle for xavier. If this is true, then more reason not to bet ohio state. I think I will wait for some line movement as well on this one...
I will say that though I think the Big 10 conference is overrated, had these lower seeds been placed a little differently, a team like purdue could have made a cinderella-type run. Instead, 3 of the 5 teams will get bounced this weekend. Not saying that the teams would have gone 5-1 though...
Ah well. Should be some good games the next couple of days.
Also, I think I saw you on A&M @ -2? Out of curiousity, how much do you think A&M will win by?
