They gave up baskets every possession in foul time at the end, and for some reason they didn't get fouled with 6 seconds left... man... I'm hating betting right now. Everything about it, which is strange because I've hit it out of the park this year. Buffalo came through in the clutch for you ribby. Congrats.


Pretty gross ending for the favorite. UNC is an okay team this year. I would look elsewhere for value in other teams.

I think the value was there. Unc hasn't played bad, they have just gone through a crazy schedule recently. Definitely not the unc of the past, but this was a good spot, on paper. They were up double digits then just faded. Regardless of them though, was a weird ending, which seems to be common with me and college basketball in general. Besides that, I'm just burnt out and am not capping as indepth as I usually would. close to time to call it. Some NBA bets here and there but besides that I'll be done until college football next season pretty soon.

Here and there is how I have been betting basketball for years. You may go a couple days without making a bet if the lines have no value. I wouldn’t worry about it. If you like a game. Fire a unit and trust yourself. Over time here and there adds up to a beautiful bankroll.

Utah -1.5
On paper about even, but I like Utahs pace and size more. Bounce back game scenario. Oregon state haven't played many decent teams. Only 2 wins against top 200 teams. Utah play good at home and have played a better schedule. I like them on a small line at home here.

I like the Bama play ribby. I was looking at that last night and wish I had bet it then when it was 7.5. I can get it for 8 at bold right now for just -112 juiced. Bama is the Celtics of college right now. They are putting put points big time. Only dropped 1 game at home, and ks isn't good on the road. Not just those things, but Bama has decent defence and ks turn the ball over a ton, they are close to the bottom in the country for turnovers. KS is also not a good rebounding team, they are ranked in the 270s in the country on that front.

That's a bummer. Really strange game plan, if that's what it was. They kind of just stood around in the first half. Second half they came out and dominated up to a 16 point lead... then kind of just started standing around again and let the lead slip under the cover down to 3.

Rigged....lol :thefinger Prevent defense never works :D

I don't know what I was thinking betting Citadel and A&M - what fleas - I need to remember the numbers might be close but certain players do make differences. I need to stick with good teams with good guards. Early prediction of 2 teams in Final Four - Michigan St. and Dayton
