Maryland is streaky as hell. Just like their players always have been. I don't trust them with only 8.5. Of course, they could come out and shoot the lights out and Bama gets a bunch of dumb fouls and Maryland wins.

This is not financial advice. 8-)

I got my bets set, I'm turning off the phone to just watch the games for a while longer before retiring to a real bed.


I’m normally as hard on Bama basketball as anyone, but I’ve got a good feeling about this team. Veteran guard play, rim protector and tons of length in between. Pretty solid shooting as well. Scored 96 last game with Miller not scoring a point

Man, I remember the first time I saw Jaquez ball, this kid is something special.

And Sir David Singleton is a defensive monster, I wouldn't mind Clips giving him a two way slot next year.

Actually, I think I still won that bet. I forget. And when I try to find it, it's just lost in a sea of green bet slips. Then I woke up and I'd won even more.

I'm worried my luck has to run dry at some point, so it all went right back to the bank [minus a 50spot on the MI State game of course].

:P

Hope you finally broke out and won something decent! And yeah, I got Bama tops right now. They're really really good. And lengthy. Honestly, they just make most other teams look like kids size-wise.

Just in Xavier game, they're pressed and clearly fouled and no call for the millionth time in this tournament. NCAA allowing it to happen intentionally.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Are you a ucla fan?


I mean, they were the first collegiate side I rooted for, but lately, haven't been a "fan" of any team besides CSUN due to them being the Valley's lone uni.

Usually go for the kids I've covered in HS, and from UCLA, Singleton, Jaquez, Bailey, Clark, McLendon, Manjikian, Cremonesi, Strong and Andrews are kids I saw grow up, most from Sophomore years, so gotta go for them.

David Singleton and Gianni Hunt at Bishop Gorman was something special,

They look like the only juggernaut this year that can just overwhelm you with talent. Of the remaining teams in their region I think Tennessee can give them a good game, but I think they’re making the a final Four. Miller should be a little healthier next weekend.
