1.10.2011 CBB, Oregons New Basketball Court

 

1.10.2011 Monday CBB, "44-17 ats"

Hi, It's VR again !  There's Three ugly lined games for today and in my opinion I believe it's best
NOT to have a play today.  I will give you some of my leans for those who are interested,  I know there's a few who always ask for them. 
After a terrible lose yesterday,  I guess on the past thread there's guy's posting there opinions about me and about college hoops.  Which is great, thats why were all here.
Sports is a great thing,  it takes us into another place where we don't have problems,  we don't have to worry about paying bills,  just the everyday garbage.  Tonight there's a huge Football game where millions of people will be cheering for the team they love or the team they maybe placed a wager with.  It's crazy because the game is being played in Glendale, Arizona.
 In Arizona this past weekend there was a horrible, horrible shooting.  A little nine year old baby life was taking away,  how awful is that.  All together 6 people had there lives taking away.  Just awful.  I'm writing this because living where I live this is a huge story,  I guess it's big all over this country but in Southern Nevada it's big.  It's very sad. 

So there's no-play for Monday, Jan.10,  tommorrow we start back up guy's.  Good luck tonight and be safe !

1.9.2011 Sunday CBB, 44-16 ats " ACC Sunday Night Hoop's "

Hi all, hope alls well.  It's VR again !  First off thank you very much all the kind words, points and for the support.  There's a few games today but one really stands out to me.  Duke @ Maryland,  Duke is the favorite by 14.5 points,  in my opinion if this wasn't a conference game the line would be around 20 or so.
But since this is a conference game,  Maryland Co-Champs of the ACC last year in 2009-2010 the line isn't blown up and were going to jump on that.

 Bottom line, Duke pressures the ball with Seven man rotation and stretch there opponents defense with deadly shooting.  The tandem of point guard Nolan Smith and Forward Kyle Singler (my favorite CBB player) attack from all over the court and average almost 37 points per game.
 Andre Dawkins 12 ppg who can go off for 30 VS any team in the country on any givin night.
An inside-out game, 6-11 starter Ryan Kelly, Brothers Mason and Miles average a combined 13 ppg.  Since Nolan Smith has replaced injuried point guard Kyrie Irving,  Nolan is avg. 26 ppg,  shooting 63% from 3, and 61% overall.
At any point in tonights game Duke can light up Maryland on a 20-4 run,  which Duke has done many times in 2010-11.

This is a totally different Maryland team that Duke placed last year,  80 ppg is there offensive out-put.  Which is great, but Duke isn't Seattle,  Maine, UNC-Greensboro, NJIT, UNF, and Colgate.
Thats there non-conference schedule,  yes they have played one conference game a lost at home VS Boston College !  Maryland did play a couple of top 25 teams and lost to all of them.  Pittsburgh, Illinois, Temple and BC.
 Duke wins by 21 tonight !

Duke -14.5
44-16 ats

Good luck today guy's.  Just one play today !

1.9.2011 Sunday CBB, 44-16 ats - Maryland / Duke Preview

Duke – MD

Duke takes on 10 and 4 MD in Cameron on Sunday January 9th. Maryland should provide Duke with a tough test. Even without Greivis Vasquez, Maryland has big capable guards in Sean Mosely a 6’4 junior, 6’2 senior Adrian Bowie and 6’4 senior Cliff Tucker. All are averaging at or around double figures but the true area of concern on this MD team is Jordan Williams, who is perhaps the best big man in the ACC. Williams averages 18 points and 12 rebounds a game and continues to step up in his sophomore campaign. Just like Dukes primary big man Mason Plumlee Williams is a poor free throw shooter which is the only knock in his game. Dukes 3-headed frontcourt will have to find a way to keep Williams uncomfortable in the lane while staying out of foul trouble.
Kyle Singler should be Dukes matchup advantage in this game and should be able to back down or shoot over smaller MD players or make taller defenders drift and cover him on the perimeter.
Duke will have to be successful from the outside to try to counter MD who will look to pound the ball inside.

1.8.2011 saturday CBB, 44-16 ats "Lucky or Not"

Hi all, it's VR again.
                             Syracuse -7 opened up our day,  playing in Newark, NJ  Syracuse started the game like they were still sleeping.  20 points in the 1st half,  there lowest output all season and SHall scored 19 so the UNDER was alive !  Second half the jump shots started to fall for the Cuse,  up 14 with 4 minutes to t he completion of the game Syracuse went to sleep again and SHall went on a 11-2 run.  Final score 61-55
 0-1 ats

Utah State -8 was our second play,  VS an undermanned Nevada squad.  With upmost respect for Nevada basketball program Utah St. was to win by 20 today but of-course it never goes as planned.  Down 10, Utah St. hit the switch and before we knew it UTST wins by 14.
1-1 ats

 So an ugly of a start of the day, turns into a 1-1 ats.
 44-16 ats

1.7.2011 Friday CBB, 41-15 ats "

Hi all,  It's VR again !  Few days back I said I no-play for Friday but even though there's a very small card in my opinion there's a gift "LVSC" left us to jump on.  After getting crushed last night with Arizona State who played like garbage,  I feel we got it tonight.  9 game wining streak, hottest team in the MAAC,  4 returning starters,  with bench plays there's 8 players who played 8 minutes or more.

Fairfield -12 @ Marist,  The RedFoxes are awful (3-12). Last year Marist was 1-29.  Marist coming into this game has 141 assists / 229 turnovers,  thats huge.  Last year Fairfield average margin of victory over Marist was 14,  I know this is a new year which is in Fairfield's  favor even more.  Marist has ZERO players scoring in Double Digits.  This is the year in Southern Connecticut where Fairfield makes the dance !  55 points per game thats what Fairfield is giving up, which ranks them #7 in the nation.  Fairfield is a very good basketball team, Derek Needham is active and can score from most any-where on the court. 

Fairfield -12
41-15 ats

Good luck guy's,  we need it !
