12.31.2010 Friday CBB, 35-13 ats, Cougars @ Vols

Happy New Years EVE !  Hi it's VR again,  well another day and another win.  Thats the bottom line,  but when the "W's" keep adding up the most important thing is to keep it all in perspective because it doesn't matter how much film I watch,  how many sites I go on.  Or who I speak to,  this is a crazy business and let me say as you all know this is an awful way to make a living.  But when you win and collect "There's no-better" !  I'll say this North Texas will blow thru the Sun Belt Conference and make the NCAA Tournament in my opinion.  As of right now my record is 35-13 ats, something like 17-3 last 20 ats. Could be off a game or two here or there but I've been cashing tickets galore !

 Todays first play is College of Charleston at Tennessee,  in my opinion Tennessee is a totally different team than the one that beat Villanova and Pittsburgh.  There not shooting as well, there turning the ball over at a much more different pace,  there bigs in the middle do a decent job grabing rebounds.  6 rebounds better per game than Charleston,  a huge factor for me is Tennessee offense is so inconsistent.  Terrible.  Also there Turnover margin compared to assists is awful.  161 Assists to 177 Turnovers, thats awful, really, really bad.
In Tennessee 9 wins,  not one of them has been more than 9 points.  They just can't put teams away,  this week alone they beat Tenn-Martin by 6 points at home.  Belmont by one point.  Lost to USC.

 I'm not saying Tennessee loses this contest,  but I'm betting money College of Charleston doesn't get blow out.  With a player like Andrew Goudelock ( 24 ppg and 40% from 3 ) the Cougars will give the Vol's a run for there money.  If this game was being played on a Neutral Court or in Charleston,  the Cougars would be the pick.

 College of Charleston +11

 Good luck guy's, atleast one more play will be posted in a bit !

12.29.2010 Wednesday, 2nd play !

UCLA -2.5,
THERE'S NO-WRITE UP, I'M WATCHING 6 GAMES AT ONCE !  LOVE IT !

12.29.2010 Wednesday, 32-13 ats, " I'm Rolling The Dice Tonight "!

Hello to all, Hope all's well.  It's VR again.  Drexel came up huge last night and made my winning wager over by the 12 minute TV Time-Out in the first half !  Don't you wish all of them were like that, it would be nice.  At 32-13 many have so let's see if we can keep this thing going as conference play is rolling along.  This is the greatest time of the yeatr in my opinion.  As for a second day in a row, I'm stepping out of conference and I'm really going "Roll the Dice" tonight.

 On paper this is clearly "Blow Out City" written all over it, I'll break-it-down for you;

Duke -32  VS UNC-Greensboro @ Greensboro Coliseum

 First off "The Greensboro Coliseum" is home away from home for the Dukies.  The ACC Tournament is played there.  It's like St Johns playing at the Garden, that's the best way to explain that !
 KEYSTAT; NUMBER 1 Duke can score, and UNC-Greensboro CANNOT.
Duke is #3 in the Nation scoring 89 ppg / #6 Nation with 50% FG shooting.
UNC-Greensboro ranks #242 in scoring with 66 ppg ( look at there schedule on who there scoring 66 points per game, likes of Wake Forest who is ranked 280/nation scoring defense. High Point, there not even ranked !
 Duke leads all-time series 8-0, with an average margin of victory of 40 points, and in my opinion this is the Best Duke team since the 91-92 team.
 UNC-Greens,  127 assists / 193 Turnovers, thats the worst in D1 basketball !

                       HERE'S WHAT MAKES THIS WAGER SIMPLE !
 UNC-Greensboro are the 5th worst in scoring defense out of 346 schools, which ranks them 339.
 UNC-Greensboro has one returning starter, kyle Randell and he's shooting 33.4 % from the field.

 UNC-Greens Defensive Ranks,
 points givin up 84.4 ppg ranks #342 out of 346
 rebounds 19.8 pg ranks #339 out of 346
 Assists 17.1 pg ranks 341 out of 346
 FG % 51.1 givin up ranks 345 out of 346
 3 point % 40.7 givin up ranks 336 out of 346

Thats some awful numbers, I watched tape of UNC-Greensboro VS Clemson.  The Tigers were up by 21 at the half,  it was just sad how bad Clemson just beat them up.  There will not be NO BACK-DOOR Cover

 Duke -32 ( las Vegas Hilton )
 32-12 ats
 Good luck !

12.29.2010 Tuesday CBB, Niagara @ Drexel

Hi all, it's VR again.  Hope everyones Christmas was great.  I went home for 3 days,  happy to be home in my home office watching college hoop's.  As I write Purdue is just draining 3's over Michigan,  I don't like playing early morning plays because it effects my studies for the rest of the card during the day.  So as I write I'm 31-13 ats,  during holiday weekend I went 1-2 ats.  I was walking around my mothers house psst off !  That was then,  new week,  it's time now.  conference play is here and this is my bread and butter,  there's some GREAT value during conference hoop's. 

 Tonight I'm going to play a non-conference game MAAC vs. CAA !  Niagara @ Drexel, I'm 1-0 ats playing with Drexel and B Flint this season.  Drexel is a decent basketball team,  years past this Drexel team is know for playing down to there opponent.  There older now and there's great leadership on this basketball team.  FOUR returning starters for Drexel, 3 of them are seniors.  Gerald Colds ( 17 ppg last 3 ), Daryl McMoy, Samme Givins ( leds CAA with 11 boards pg ) and  one of my favorite players in the country Chris Fouch ( 19 ppg ) Chris can play for any team in the country.
 Niagara is a mess,  there last few games there shooting 33.3 % from the floor.  There last outting they shoot 4 for 25 from 3,  not to good.  Drexel will take it to Purple Eagles tonite, Bigtime !
The only draw-back with playing this contest,  NO TV !  I have directv with college hoops package and I get almost every game, but not this one.  That's Su_ks !

 DREXEL -16
 31-13 ats

 Good luck to all !

12.25.2010 Finals Of The Diamond Head Classic

12.25.2010 Finals Of The Diamond Head Classic, @ Stan Sheriff Center-Honolulu, Hawaii.

 The Butler Bulldogs are playing the Cougars from Washington State in the finals of this great tournament on Xmas night.  Both teams have arrived on this sunday night by playing some awsome basketball, on both ends of the court.  Wazzu who are 7-2 ATS, are sparked by Faisal Aden who comes off the bench for head coach Ken Boone,  Aden is pumping in 13 ppg.  Klay Thompson the Cougars 6-6 jr. forward in my opinion is one of the top players in the PAC-10,  22 ppg puts him among the best in the Nation.  Through eleven games for Wazzu,  the Cougars have turned the basketball over 139 times and have 164 assists which isn't great but it's not a major problem for HC Boone's team.  In the semi's in the Diamond Head Classic, Washington State shoot the basketball 53.6% in the first half,  the second half Wazzu shoot light's out 61.9%.  Five Cougars were in double diget's.

 The Butler Bulldogs have played very good of late also,  winning four straight and in that time Butlers "Big Man" Matt Howard is pouring in 24 ppg.  The problem with Butler, if Howard gets himself in foul trouble ( if you know Butler, than you know Howard spends alot of time on the bench ) and Shelvin Mack goes cold "there isn't much scoring after those two preseason all-conference players !  The Bulldogs have been to the Title game in Honolulu twice before and both times coming up short ( 0-2 ) the last in 2004.  Butler also has turned the ball over going well over the century mark 130 turnovers and 148 assists,  for those who don't know a good ratio between assists and turnovers are 2/1 assists/turnovers.  Coach Bobby Knight has his teams in the 80's,  at that mark. 

 The bottom line Washington State plays better defense ( #3 Nation Opponent FG % 35.6 ) and also ( #7 Nation Opponent 3 point % defense 26.4 )  and they put the basketball in the hoops at a great pace.

 WASHINGTON STATE -1
 30-12 ats ( cbb )

12.22.2010 Wednesday, Clemson @ C of Charleston

Hi to all, it's VR again !  Coming off a Garbage night 1-1, but down a few bucks overall for Tuesday.  Need to move on, many, many games today, tonight.  I have one play ready togo now.  Maybe one more.  I've been working on a 12:00 pm west coast play.  But I believe I'm staying away.  The line has me puzzled, Washington State playing Mississippi State.  The line is at 10 favoring WSU,  it's in a spot where I just don't like it.

 Anyway here's my first play,
 College of Charleston -1

The Cougars are a very good basketball team,  also Clemson leading scorer is on the shelf.  A entire write is at my blog.

I'm working on a second play.
29-11 ats

12.21.2010 Tuesday CBB, ECAC HOLIDAY FESTIVAL - Northwestern VS St. Johns

Hello to all,  it's VR again !  Nice win again last night with Davidson getting 9 points,  not to sound like a jerk but getting 9 points was a gift from LVSC.  St. Johns Nine points better than Davidson-NO-WAY !

That win got us back on the winning side with a Three game winning streak,  going into this past saturday my NINE game winning streak ended with UNC losing.  Since we've won 3 straight !  But hey thats yesterday, hard work will get us to where we need to be "CASHING TICKETS"

As for today,  I'm going right back to the "Worlds Most Famous Arena"  Northwestern and St.Johns.
The Las Vegas Hilton has Northwestern the Underdog tonite getting 4 points.  Are you kidding me,  I know St.Johns is pretty much the home team but come on.  Well I'm taking the points tonite.  One of the Nations BEST 3 point shooting team VS One of the Nations worst defending the 3.  St. Johns offense has no clue where they want to be,  to let you guy's know,  I'm a huge St. Johns homer.  I grow up 3 miles from the campus,  I've been to many, many games, football, basketball.  I know this team real well and Northwestern getting a few points is ok by me.

Northwestern +4
28-10 ats

12.20.2010 Monday CBB, ECAC HOLIDAY FESTIVAL- DAVIDSON VS ST. JOHNS

Great Monday to all,  It's VR again !  I'm coming off a GREAT week, 9-1 with a NINE GAME WINNING STREAK.  But hey that's yesterday, new day, new week, LET'S GET IT !

Tonite at the "World's Most Famous Arena" it's the "ECAC HOLIDAY FESTIVAL",  this tournament years back was called "Joe Lapchick" ( St Johns Head Basketball coach in the 50's ).  In 2000 "Yours Truely" was there ( I'm a New Yorker, before I came here to Vegas ) at this tournament and St Johns who's the host team were playing Duke and  if you guy's remember Jason Williams of Duke ( #7 all-time-scorer @ Duke ).  The game went into Over-Time and Jason Williams went off scoring 47 points,  the Garden was going crazy.

On to 2010 tourny, in the first game Northwestern is playing St. Francis of Brooklyn.  St Frans point guard is really good, Ricky Cadell.

My Game, The Main event,  Davidson VS St. Johns.  Davidson is getting 10 points and thats where I'm going.  St. Johns is ok so far this year but KNOWING THIS TEAM LIKE THE BACK OF MY HAND,  UNTIL THEY CAN CLOSE OUT TEAMS,  I WILL WAGER AGAINST THEM.  Davidson can shoot the 3 really well,  St. Johns is terrible defending the 3.  Davidson plays really, really smart,  St. Johns will be throwing up Bomb's all nite !  I'm taking the 10 points to start out the week.

 Davidson +10
 27-10 ats 

Sunday, December 19, 2010

3-1 ats fot Saturday ! What do you thing people ?

Well when most go 3-1 on the day,  most people would be very happy.  But not me !  I lost the UNC play by 4 points and I just can't get over it,  I reviewed the game a 2nd time and the TarHeels were up by 7 with 2 minutes to go and they could close the deal.  I"M VERY MAD !

CBB,
Georgrtown -19 WINNER
UNC -2 LOSS
OKLAHOMA STATE -4.5 WINNER
CFB,
TROY-2 WINNER

27-10 ATS in College Hoop's !

Saturday, December 18, 2010

Let's keep it going !

Thanx buddy, 50-25 Georgetown @ the half ! We need huge 2nd half defensively to cover this big number.

I'm not playing this game UCF / Miami but I will have One Eye on it, just to see how UCF deals with this big stage.

12.18.2010 Saturday, CBB Play #1

12.18.2010 Saturday, CBB Play #1

Were going to our Nations Capital to start out our day,

Georgetown -21

On paper this is the biggest mismatch of the day,  Loyola's top scorer is shooting 36.5% FG and 25% from 3.  If you look at Georgetowns numbers there in the top 10 in all the biggies, so lets see if G'Town can score around 85 and Loyola maybe get to 54.

MORE PLAYS TO FOLLOW !

12.18.2010 CBB Saturday, "OMG" I'm so ready !

Hi all, It's VR again !  Well after taking two days off because of very weak College Hoop's schedules,  I'm ready today.  Hopefully like all pros when there hot and they have a few days off before there next contest, there alittle rusty,  well my 7 game win streak ATS is on the line today.  But hey, you can't win every single game, thats what I've been told.  But deep down one day it will start and I'll never lose again.  I mean that !

On to Saturday,  what a great day today.  There's some awsome games,  I'm waiting for "Las Vegas Hilton Sportsbook to open".  At that time my plays will be for viewing.  Good luck to all today,  I hope every won who places a wager wins it today.  We all need cash !

25-9 ATS, 7 Game Winning Streak, +79 Unit's

Thats how it's done,  nice and quiet !  Make $100,000 this college hoops season.  Last year I pulled in $12,000 during the Dance. $57,000 during the regular season.

It's said to say but all's I do is sit in my office and study and watch tape,  I love college hoop's as much as I love my family !  Thats not a bad thing, believe me, my wife is having fun with my winnings !
I work very hard at what I do,  I need to win.

Central Florida -18 WINNER 78-56
25-9 ats,
+79 units

12.15.2010 Wednesday College Hoop's, Take a look ! 24-8 ats. LL @ UCF

Hi there, it's VR again !  Great win last nite with DREXEL,  the Dragons controlled the tempo and the game.  So that's how I got to 24-8 ats, +_ _ Unit's.  I won't put the unit's I'm up because then people start to HATE !

Todays a great day out here in the dessert,  I've got my play tipping at 4:00 pm west coast time and then I'm heading to the "THOMAS & MACK CENTER" to see UNLV get back on track.  I'll be sitting right behind the "Runnin Reb's" bench.

On to Wednesday's winner,  I love U of Central Florida Basketball program !  With a win tonight they should crack the top 25 for the first time in program history,  they got all the pieces in place to make this happen tonight against the 1-8 Louisiana Lafayette.  Besides U of Kansas who's winning by a margin of 27.4 points,  UCF is #2 in the country with plus points per victory +26.1.  What these numbers show me is there playing for 40 minutes,  no let downs,  no back door covers.  There margin of victorys over the past few weeks are 29, 31, 20, 26,  those are some great numbers.  Other than #2 in the Nation with margin of Victory there also #2 in the country with there Field Goal % at 53.  Thats a great number considering the bench is also very good.  From 3 point land the Knight's are at 41%,  Just to show how great UCF numbers are, there opponent tonight Field Goal % is 38%.  Louisiana Laf. is shooting 60% from the Charity line ! 

 On Defense UCF is also #2 in all the Land in scoring defense, there giving up 53 points per game.  35.1 % Field Goal percentage against,   is good enough for #3 in the Nation. 

 These numbers are awsome, against a really bad team like Louisiana Lafayette, this looks like BLOW OUT CITY !  Jusy my opinion ! 
 I also like playing this contest for the 1st half, taking UCF.  There home,  the students will be crazy and UCF wants to be on the FRONT PAGE in Florida.  There going to blow LL out .
 So my 3 units will be backing UCF for the game tonite, -18 (Las Vegas Hilton)
 I my have a small play on the 1st half.

24-8 ATS

Thats what this is all about !
24-8 ats, + 77 unit's !

Thanx Drexel !

WOW !  Well when you play defense and go get rebounds and hold your opponent to 28% shooting it doesn't matter who's playing who, the team who plays great "D" will win.

Thays just what Drexel did last nite,  and in the mean time "I pulled down my own rebound by netting a nice 3 unit's to my collection of unit's.  That was a great win but now its time to move on to Wednesday.
I'm looking forward to tonite and spend some time at the Mack  !

UC Santa Barbara @ UNLV, I'll be sitting right behind there ( UNLV ) bench, but in the mean time "I Got A Great Play For Tonight"  Which will be posted in a bit !

CBB 12.14.2010 Wednesday, Drexel @ Louisville - It Ain't What You Think !

Hey guy's VRizzo here !  Tonites Drexel @ Louisville game in my book is the real deal, let me tell you why.   For starters,  Drexel is returning 4 starters from the 09-10 team that went 11-7 in conference,  the Dragons are ranked #4 in all the land in Rebounding.  Drexel is shooting 38% from 3.    Drexel has one of the top SIXTH man in the country Sophmore Guard Chris Fouch,  this young man is pouring in almost 23 points per game.  He's a prolific scoring say's R Pitino !  There offense has dished out 93 assists compared to 89 turnovers,  thats not that bad.  A really good team is dishing 2 to 1 assists to turnovers, Duke isn't in that league yet !

On defense Drexel is #1 in the nation defending 3's,  this is Drexels 5th road contest this season (3-1 road record).  Coach Rick Pitino told the Louisville media today that he's very scared of the Dragons.

The line is 14 outta Bet Jamica,  my 3 unit's will be backing Drexel getting 14 points. 
College Hoop's is my sport,  my record ATS is 23-8,  so if you like you my track this play tonite.  Good luck to all of you.

12.13.2010, Team of The Week : TENNESSEE

Hi, it's VRizzo !
If the Big East is the top conference in the country, as the league's coaches have professed recently, what is Tennessee?  The Vol's have beaten the conference co-favs-- Pittsburgh and Villanova--away from Knoxville.  Tennessee must be considered one of the contenders to get to the Final Four in Houston, and it's has emerged as the SEC East favorite.

Try to find to better wins than the Vol's have right now; it's probably a futile task. Tennessee won the NIT Season Tip-Off on Nov. 26 with a 10 point win over the Wildcats in NYC.  This past saturday in Pittsburgh, the Vols dominated the Panters from the opening tip in a 7 point win.

Tennessee's schedule continues to be challenging, with Oakland ( a one point loser to Michigan State ) up next, then a road game at Charlotte.  USC and Memphis will visit in the next month, a trip to UConn on Jan. 22 is also on tap.  The Vol's might end up with a top-five strenght of schedule in March.  Don't forget Head Coach Bruce Pearl must sit-out the first 5 games in conference play.
