Less than an hour in and I’m breaking out the hard liquor. Louisville shitting the bed in a de facto home game.

Good luck, buddy. One of the best days of the year is about to kickoff in 45 minutes.

Grabbing Oklahoma +5.5 for tomorrow. Thinking about the ML as well. UConn struggles against good guards.

Jerry is on the Grand Canyon train, but I think Maryland is too tough.

Don't know the recipe they are using, but I found this and may have to try it the next couple days while watching the NCAA tournament. https://cleanfoodcrush.com/chili-lime-roasted-sweet-potatoes/

I didn't realize the seeding played a role. Memphis no good if that is the case.

Same. 20 years ago I would watch college hoops the entire season, but don't find the time anymore. Tomorrow is still my 2nd favorite day of the year (Thursday at the Masters is number 1) I'm kinda disappointed in the first 3 games though. They could have give us one that looks good on paper.

I'm never confident betting Purdue. Outside of reaching the final game last year, they have a habit of disappointing in the tournament. I'm using a combination of Kenpom ratings, fatigue, and fading the public.

Do they have to be tomorrow? Friday dogs to win I like Ole Miss, Akron, and Memphis.

I’m not against Drake, but I drafted their opponent so I can’t root for them.

Thursday Louisville -2.5 - Game in Lexington, short drive for L'ville. Louisville high pressure defense against a Creighton team that turns the ball over a lot. Purdue -7.5 Big discrepancy in Kenpom rating 19 vs 84. I'm fading the trendy dog. Montana +17 - Don't think they can win, but Wisc played Thur, Fri, Sat, Sunday last week and this game is in Denver. Clemson -7.5 Kenpom 18 vs 59. McNeese coach leaving for NC State job will be a distraction BYU -2.5 - Similar in Kenpom. VCU played Fri - Sunday and we are in Denver. Fading another trendy dog. Arkansas +5.5 - Boogie Fland is back. Texas A&M -7.5 Kenpom 17 vs 73. Only 2 games last weekend for Yale, but still traveling across country to playing in altitude. A&M overlooked as they played in the best conference. UC San Diego ML +122 - I will bite on this trendy pick. close in Kenpom 37 vs 25. Michigan played 4 days last week and this game is in Denver.

I had my tournament draft yesterday and will not be betting against any of these teams no matter what the numbers say. Seed Jason 1 2 3 4 5 6 Total 8 Gonzaga 0 6 Missouri 0 4 Texas A&M 0 7 St. Marys 0 4 Purdue 0 10 Arkansas 0 13 Akron 0 15 Bryant 0 Wins 0 Losses 0 Total $0.00

Off the top of my head now before I start putting it all together. UC San Diego. 2.5 point dog. Michigan played 4 days in a row and is in Denver tomorrow.

My reasoning behind this is because those teams that played Sunday played 3 or 4 games on consecutive days. 3 days off isn't much time for recovery and some of those games will be played in Denver. High altitude plus fatigue could make for some easy wins tomorrow.

I will be putting a card together later for Thursday games. The first thing I"m looking to do is fade teams that played in their conference tourney on Sunday and playing a more rested team.

I was on UNC because they were 8-2 in their last 10 (only losses were to Duke). If they stay hot, they can make a run.

Homer pick: Xavier -2.5

We both escaped a close one

From what I’ve read the left dash gives you height trajectory similar to the 1x but with much lower spin and has the same firm feel. The softer feel is what I prefer about the regular. After playing one last year and going back to the x it felt like I was hitting a rock.

I keep a few sleeves of Kirklands in the bag at all times. If I’m not hitting it well, I’m not sending $5 balls into the woods and water all day.

All the best to you, buddy. through it all you’re planning your EdEx draft . That’s why we love you

Past few years I played prov1x but last year I found a regular and loved it so I went regular this year. A guy I play with plays the dash, but I’ve yet to try them.

Prov’s are a new model this year. Had to check them out.

Ranked 8 by Kenpom. What worries me about them is their offensive efficiency rating - 56. 95% of champions over the last 25 years have been ranked 21 or better in this metric.
