No time for tunes today. Let's get to the some NCAA Basketball...
Quicks Caps:
My personal Big Three (Cinninati, Ohio State, Xavier) all won last night. None of them big surprises, but it put a smile on my face. And Cincinnati is keeping it's razor-thin hopes of a tourney bid alive. We'll discuss more on all the teams from the Ohiotucky region tomorrow on No-Action Friday.
No major upsets last night. I thought K-State would show better. Dayton is belly-sliding toward the NIT kiddie-pool after the loss to Duquense, a team that may cause some real trouble in the A-10 tourney. I'm afraid the Flyers problems are/were deeper than injuries. Again, they'll be in the Ohiotucky conversation mentioned above.
As for the Money Picks: (9-7-2)
Good ol' Drake lost for the second time this season, their first defeat in the Missouri Valley, but those boys could still cover the spread, keeping my lucky-ass over .500, since...
Baylor got buried early and couldn't recover. They made the second half run I predicted, outscoring the Cowboys 54-44. Too bad the Bears were down by twenty at the half. Well, too bad for me, and them, and their fans, and the folks who bet on them.
Quick Picks:
Haven't even pulled up the spread page, provided by the good folks at VegasInsider.com. But I'm guessing I only got time to research one match-up:
Cleveland State @ Valparaiso (-6.0)
Diggin' deep for some action today, so we're playing in the Horizon. Both teams have struggled as of late. Valpo's losing streak of 1-5 began with a six-point defeat in Cleveland. The Vikings have won two in a row after dropping five straight, including four straight losses on the road to the middle of the Horizon pack. I wouldn't bet the money-line on Cleveland State, but I think they'll keep it close enough to cover the spread.
###
Stanford may have problems against the Sun Devils, seems like this may be a TOB match-up, but the spread (-3.0 to -4.0) isn't enough to lure me into the mix. The -18.0 the Boys in V-town are lending West Virginia is tempting as well, but Rutgers has been blown out consistently this season, and I ain't trusting the Scarlet Knights with a nickel.
Tune in tomorrow, should be a good one. The magical region of Ohiotucky will be revealed!
