Shooter's 3/10 CBB

Shooter's 3/10 CBB BIG 12 OPENING ROUND: 627 Texas Tech (+1) (-108) Short-term revenge and quick turnaround. Texas Tech started out in pre-conference to be what looked like a lock for the NCAA's. They fell apart. Now they start a new season. Pat Knight has been much better in conference tournaments than his father was.

CONFERENCE USA OPENING ROUND: 635 East Carolina (+12') (-108) Houston allows 47.2% FG on the road and ECU allows 43%. Don't trust Houston as this big a fav. Also played 662 SFA (-4) but that is long gone now. Sorry. I couldn't get it posted quicker. It moved real fast.

BIG EAST OPENING ROUND: 621 St. John's (+4') Whole world on Marquette. Marquette's defense not very good, but they are efficient on offense. There's always a lower level team that makes a run in the Big East Tournament. A finally healthy St. John's may just be that team.

BIG 12 OPENING ROUND: 629 Nebraska (+6) (-102) 1st Half 629 Nebraska (+11) Game 629/530 Nebraska/Missouri UN 132' In both meetings this year, the Huskers trailed by only 2 at the half. I think they hang in here. Line getting a little inflated since Mizzou won the Big 12 Tournament last year.

SWAC QUARTERFINALS: 669 Mississippi Valley State (+10')

St John's made up for East Carolina.

[QUOTE=jMARTY;18390]St John's made up for East Carolina.[/QUOTE] Tough to get too upset about East Carolina b/c they were down 20 points. I would've liked to have gotten the lucky cover and land on 11, but they had no business covering. St. John's probably could have won that game if they were a little smarter.

BIG EAST OPENING ROUND 623 Seton Hall (+3) (-120) 623/624 Seton Hall/Notre Dame UN 147 ND is now trying to get Harangody back acclimated to the offense. The Irish have been playing slower and have played better defense. The Hall may be out of gas and might play to the slower tempo and be happy to do it. BIG 12 OPENING ROUND 631 Oklahoma (+7') 631/632 Oklahoma/Oklahoma State UN 142' OU got blown out last game against the Pokes without Tiny Gallon in the lineup. He was the difference maker in their game at Norman. Ok State doesn't score near as much away from Stillwater. CUSA OPENING ROUND 639 Rice (+14) Rice stinks but they play hard as hell and have been somewhat competitive in recent games. Tulsa doesn't blow teams out and may feel a little pressure playing at home.

NORTHEAST CHAMPIONSHIP: 653/654 Robert Morris/Quinnipiac UN 65' 1st Half 653/654 Robert Morris/Quinnipiac UN 140 Game This is an uptempo conference and then it gets to the title game and it stays in the 50's.

BIG EAST OPENING ROUND: 625 Cincinnati (+6) Louey off big win over Cuse that likely put them in the tournament. Pressure's off so they may not be as focused as they should be early. BIG 12 OPENING ROUND: 633/634 Iowa State/Texas OV 147' 634 Texas (-8') (-115) Everyone down on Texas now. I think they come out with a good effort here. CUSA OPENING ROUND: 641 UCF (+2') (-112) Can't trust Matt Doherty as a fav in a road/neutral game.
