1.26.2011 Wednesday CBB, "50-23 ats Wildcats @ Golden Gophers"

Hi, It's VR again.  Hope all's well.  Tuff night all around last night,  Georgia played there butt's off last night in regulation and the first overtime.  When Florida tied the game at the end of the first OT,  Georgia just was in shock as I was.  At that point it was very to regroup and  play at a high level again.  It's sad to say but that was a huge game for Georgia,  it's going to be very hard for the Bulldogs to reach some goals they set for themselves.  Come Saturday there at Kentucky now.  Tuff road.

 On to today,  we need to get going.  My last ten wagers were 7-3 ats,  so lets get going and get on the right side.
 Big Ten for us today,
 Northwstern @ Minnesota -3.5

My opinion on Northwestern is there a decent basketball team, they play very smart,  there Assists to Turnover ratio is good.  335 assists / 201 Turnovers  which like I said is good.  They can put the ball in the basket, easily,  from three there shooting very good.  John Shurna will be 2nd team All-Big Ten this season.
Drew Crawford is a nice guard.  There's high hope's this season to make the NCAA Tournament.  Here's my take on Northwestern basketball,  I know this team very well as I try my hardest to learn all 346 teams.  As much time as I put into capping games,  I respect all the teams, players and everything they do to play major college basketball.  But my take on the Northwestern basketball program from the Head Coach down is the the Wildcats ARE VERY SOFT.  That is why they will not make the dance.  They play soft, there defense is awful,  it's soft.  Minnesota's bigs,  will destroy Northwestern tonight.  Wisconsin who plays real hard defense beat-up Northwestern this past saturday.  They will never make the dance until they "Make-over" there entire program.

Minnesota in my opinion will get the win and cover tonite.  Trevor Mbakwe 6-8 monster in the paint should have a good night,  Ralph Sampson 6-11 and Colton Iverson 6-10 all these guy's wieght around 250.  Thats huge playing against Northwestern.  Blake Hoffarber is having a nice season and this kid can knock down the three.  I know Al Nolan is out with a broken foot,  but HC Tubby Smith recruits real good and Byrant Allen will step in and this kid is ready.

At the "Barn" Minnesota is 5-0 SU against Northwestern,  the Wildcats are 1-5 ats as underdogs this season.  I believe Minnesota wins pretty easy tonight, to get us on the right side.

Minnesota -3.5
50-23 ats

I had a 2nd game between St.Joesph @ LaSalle -3.5,  but the game has been PPD because of snow in Phillly.
