Sorry (as if anybody cares) I didn't get to explain the mystical NCAA Basketball Realm of Ohiotucky yesterday. Should have time this afternoon while watching some awesome College Hoops baby!
I also woke up too late to land any action on the early game I really wanted: 'Hoyas @ (-3.0) @ the Orangemen. Thank God I slept in, or it sure looks like it at the moment, with Georgetown down by 6 real points with 7:27 left, and this Greene kid draining threes.
Now my excuse for both of the above was an impromptu rendezvous with an old buddy, Ronnie Supe. We've previously discussed producing a sports blog for YouTube, and last night we actually did some recording, just to check out the camera, lighting issues, etc. Your's truly may soon be co-hosting the Ron Superior Sports Manifesto. Keep ya posted. Now let's get to it...
Cleveland State @ Butler (-12.5)
Gotta stick with my Vikings (who got me to 10-7-2, more about the game leading into the Ohiotucky piece). Not saying they'll win, just thinkin' they'll hang. The Bulldogs have beaten up some quality teams at home (the 19 points drumming of my Buckeyes comes to mind), but this Horizon conference showdown means too much to Cleveland State for a 12 point letdown. I hope.
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech (-2.5)
According to our new best friend at Crimson and Cream Machine, Longar Longar will return to action today. He could be the difference-maker. Since breaking his leg in the loss against A&M (which occurred in the first three minutes of the match-up, and he still played the last thirteen minutes) the Sooners have lost two of three, most notably a roadie against lowlife Colorado. If Longar can log some quality minutes, super-frosh Griffin should get the additional inside presence he needs to lead his team to a big W desperately needed if Oklahoma is to stay in Tourney contention.
Then again, TT hasn't lost a home game this season, and handled Big 12 big-boys A&M and K-State fairly easily in Lubbock. Can baby-Bobby keep this up? I don't know, I don't wanna play anymore! But since we've done the research, let's stick with my initial gut-call, pick the Sooners, take the points, and pray.
Alabama @ South Carolina (-2.5)
A little SEC bottom-feeder action. At first glance, I was leaning toward the home-team. Scouring the blogs supported my initial reaction, especially the insight of our newest best friend at Bama Hoops. Even if you don't care about this game click the link. The lovely USC co-ed's picture posted is worth it.
'Bama hasn't won a road game, is a bit undersized vs. the Gamecocks, and nobody in the entire state gives a fuck about college hoops, save our newest best friend. Actually, at this end of his blog he mentions he just topped 50,000 hits. Kudos, newest best friend. I hope I someday get to 50.
That's it for the action today, kids; the V-Boys aren't offering any other gifts I care to declare.
Check back later tonight for The Ohiotucky Review.
As always, best o' luck-A.B.
