Shooter's 2/11 CBB

Shooter's 2/11 CBB 23-19 last night (17-13 Sides; 6-6 Totals) 505 UMass (+6') (-103) 505/506 UMass/Duquesne OV 145 UMass turned it over 21 times at Rhode Island and hung within 8. Duquesne is really not a team I like to lay pts with, especially off a road win. 507 Michigan (+8') 507/508 Michigan/Minnesota OV 128 Michigan is under .500 right now, but I don't think Minnesota is that much better than them. This is a generous #. 509/510 Notre Dame/Seton Hall UN 161 511/512 UL Lafayette/FAU UN 145 512 FAU (-2) 513 Central Michigan (+7) (-115) C Michigan got outscored 8-0 to end the game and lose to Akron. I expect a close game here with a focused CMU effort. 515/516 Valpo/Cleveland St OV 140 516 Cleveland St (-4) 1st H 516 Cleveland St (-7') Game 518 Wright St (-12) Wright off a loss at Butler. They can still get the #2 seed and the bye into the semis. They have covered big #'s against lower Horizon teams (UIC and Loyola). 519/520 Butler/Youngstown St OV 133' 520 Youngstown St (+7) (-109) 1st H 520 Youngstown St (+13) (-104) Game Y-Town St is in their usual Horizon League cellar dweller spot. However, this game is their Super Bowl. They will at least give Butler their best effort. 522 St. John's (+6) (-104) The logic didn't work for Saturday against West Virginia, but Louisville has a ton of NYC/NJ kids coming back home. Plus, the Pitino back to the NBA rumors are starting up again. St John's got embarrassed on Saturday. Expect a good effort here from the Red Storm. 523/524 UWGB/Detroit OV 136 524 Detroit (-7) 559 Davidson (+1) 1st H 559 Davidson (+2) Game More later.

Seems like you've done better with sides than totals this season. Is that indeed the case? I know in CBB it has been a winning year overall. Thank you for sharing your selections.

525/526 FIU/So. Alabama OV 139 527/528 No Texas/New Orleans OV 129' 528 New Orleans (+7) 534 Western Kentucky (-10) 573 IPFW (+1)

536 Arizona St (-12) (-111) ASU got embarrassed at Washington. I expect a good one from the Sun Devils tonight. They still have a chance to win the Pac-10. 563 Murray St (-7) (-102) 1st H 563/564 Murray St/Tennessee Tech OV 146'

537 Washington (+2') (-102) 1st H 537 Washington (+4') Game 537/538 Washington/California UN 158' Cal is the better coached team, but this seems like a small # to lay here for Cal due to the revenge factor. 542 Boise State (+7) Boise lost as a home fav by 24 at home to Idaho. Now they play the best team in the WAC (Utah State). Total contrarian play here. 578 Southern Utah (+12) Oakland beat So Utah by 46 earlier this year. Now they go back to Cedar City, UT to take on the worst team in the Summitt League. However, this is the toughest travel spot in the league by far. The weather in the Midwest has already screwed up travel and getting to Southern Utah is already an arduous process in itself.

544 Cal Poly SLO (+4') 546 Stanford (-4) (-101) Under .500 Stanford laying points at home to a team w/ winning record? :confused: Hmmm. 547 Pepperdine (+9) San Fran off 3 big games. They upset Gonzaga in OT, won at San Diego in OT and covered at St Mary's. This has inflated the line here. 549/550 New Mexico St/Fresno St UN 148 Paul George returns to the Fresno lineup after missing many games. However, when a player has been out for a long period of time, it takes a couple games to get used to playing with him again. 551 LMU (+2')

553 Oregon (+7) (-109) Oregon is horrible, but I don't trust U of A laying these points with a young team that plays almost as stupid as Oregon does at times.

555 St. Mary's (+3) (-102) 1st H 555 St. Mary's (+6) Game SMC got dominated at home by the Zags and never were a threat to win the game. However, this game, if they could win, would clinch an at-large bid for St Mary's. Their only good wins are at Utah St and home vs. San Diego St and that's not enough for the selection committee.
