1.31.2011 Monday CBB, "51-26 ats Big Monday" It's Time !

Hi, It's VR again.  Hope alls good.  There's just 5 lined games today and I'm not liking any of them.

Texas @ A&M looks very easy the way the Longhorns are playing,  but the Aggies at home (12-0)
and coming of an terrible loss on saturday to Nebraska.  I believe it's best just to watch it.

Louisville @ G'Town,  these two teams are playing well also.  Anything can happen, in my opinion there isn't any type of an edge for gambling purposes other than the Hoyas playing on there own court.  But as we seen the Cardinals don't care where they play.

Northern Arizona in my opinion is your best chance of taking a home favorite.  They play well at home,  but Northern Colorado is 7-1 and in 1st place in the "Big Sky Conference".

It's best to take a pass tonight and get ready for tuesday night.  I've got 26 loses,  not to sound like a jerk but it's time to start destroying the BOOK.  Thats what I'm going to do.

NO PLAY FOR MONDAY 1.31.2011
51-26 ats

1.31.2011 Big Monday, 51-26 ats. Time to get busy !

I SWEAR THESE TWO ARE WONDERFUL PRETTY !

1.29.2011 Saturday CBB, "51 - 24 ats" Two Games

Hi, It's VR again !  Let's get right too it.
First play,

BYU -3,  @ New Mexico

How much things change the past 12 months for the Lobos,  last season New Mexico were the darlings of the MW Conference and the National outlook.  For starters the Lobos are 2-4 in conference.

I Could be wrong as I have been 24 times this basketball season,  but it's crazy to see all the Tout's, Pro's on New Mexico.  The Lobos just don't have the talent to UPSET THE #1 TEAM IN THE RPI !

Bottom line there isn't talent to cover Jimmer Fredette,  there just isn't.  In my opinion the only nice piece New Mexico has  is Drew Gooden in the paint,  but that will not keep the lobos close today.

BYU being a very mature basketball team has the make-up to make a huge run towards the Final Four this season,  being that there are only a handful of really good teams.  BYU in there history has never had a team like they do this season.  Record wiz yes,  but personal no.  Brandon Davis taking up space in the paint and Emery and of course Fredette.  I feel BYU wins today by 8 to 10 points.

The "Pit" is a tuff home-court advantage, yes I agree !  For the likes of TCU, Air Force and and that type of team.  But Today It Will Be The Stage For "The Jimmer"

BYU -3

51-23 ats

Good luck to all.  Hope everyone has aa great day.

1.28.2011 Friday CBB, "51-23 ats Jaspers @ Stags"

Hi, It's VR again.  It's Friday, which One more day till Saturday.  There's some great games on tap for Saturday.  But before we get to saturday we got one more night to pick up a "W". 

It's been a good week so far.  No plays to add to the record but a few leans that you guy's played hit,  which is always good.  So here we go,

Manhattan @ Fairfield -20

I've been following Fairfield for a very long time,  I really like Head Coach Ed Cooley.  He's one great HC that nobody knows.  Fairfield plays in the MAAC Conference, "Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference",  and let me tell you there's some GREAT players in this conference.  The reason the MAAC gets great players is because the majority of the players aren't in SIZE big enough to play at Big schools in the Northeast.  So they end up playing for these under the radar schools.  I promise you,  there's really good players on Fairfield and in the MAAC.  Last year Siena won this conference, got into the Dance and made it to the Sweet 16.  This year in 2011,  Fairfield is last years Siena !

Sophmore Guard for Fairfield Derek Needham ( 5-11, 180 ),  this kid "Gets Off" daily !  He has won MAAC Player Of The Week Twice this season.  Senior Forward Yoral Hawkins is coming into tonights match-up coming TWO Double-Doubles. 

Fairfield allowed 109 points in there LAST TWO wins,  Remaining at NO.2 in the NATION in scoring defense.  That's a great stat !  Number Two in the country, including in that are all the BCS schools.   Don't sleep on Fairfield,  there 15-4 overall,  8-1 conference.

Manhattan,  beat Georgia in November.  I promise you as a man,  it don't mean anything.  The past month or so,  Georgia is not the same team as back then.  Manhattan has THREE wins,  there last two games they have scored a combined 103 points.  This team is awful !   Really, Really bad.  They can't score,  remember Fairfields "D".  Manhattan can't play defense.  60% of Manhattan's scoring comes from Fresh, Soph.

I believe the Final score tonight is 78-48 Fairfield

Fairfield -20

51-23 ats overall

3-1 Money line

Good luck guy's,  this will be the only play for Friday.

1.27.2011 St. Marys @ Gonzaga

1.27.2011 Thursday CBB, A Brief write-up on St. Marys @ Gonzaga

St. Marys @ Gonzaga -3

You always hear of teams that no-matter what they do, They can't win in certain buildings. Well thats whats going on tonight when these two WCC teams meet.

St. Marys Geals are 1-22 SU last 23 @ Gonzaga in "The Kennel" (i hope i spelled it right). St. Marys have had some awful loses at Zaga. They just can't win there. Two years ago I believe it was SMC was up 12 with 3 minutes left and lost.

Gonzaga is 5-0 last 5 at home.
Gonzaga is 6-1 SU last 7 VS St Marys overall.

In my opinion St. Marys does not match-up with Zaga at all. SMC is very good hitting the 3, but if there shots don't fall, there's no-other way for them to beat Gonzaga. Zags half-court offense will win this game tonite by 8 points.

1.27.2011 Thursday CBB, "51-23 ats Showcase Thursday"

Hi, It's VR again !  Real quick I just want to mention how awful some of the weather is around the country.
Where I'm from NYC,  I've been told that 15-20 inches were dumped on them.  NYC is the greatest but they can keep it ! 
Out here let me tell you,  I'm in heaven.  It's the greatest ! 

Last night was pretty good,  2-0 ats,  51-23 ats overall.  As we know anything can happen during any game,  but it's so rewarding when the games play out exactly how it was handicapped. 

On to Thursday,  I'm sorry to say but Zero Play For Today.

No-Play For Thursday.

Sorry guy's but I just can not get a great feeling on any games,  I've have leans for those interested.  I broke down 5 games all day and they just don't cut-it.  Sorry.  Looking at Friday, I do believe we will have just One play.

Leans,  but not plays,
Mississippi State +7,  I believe maybe Dee Bost, R Sidney keep it close @ home.
Cleveland State -10,  Defense,  Cleveland St has a great defense.  UIC is awful.  The Flames have just 5 wins and Two are against Toledo(there the worst D1 school) and one win VS D2 school.

LaSalle -3,  This was going to be my play today.  The ONLY reason I'm not taking it is because the game is being played at the "Palestra".  LaSalle is the home team tonight but there not playing on there home court.  There's 5, D1 schools in Philly which they call them "The Big 5" and when they play each other, they play at the Palestra.  I really like LaSalle getting it done tonight but like I said there not home.  There opponent is St. Joesph who in which is having an awful season.  0-5 in conference,  2-9 on the road.  LaSalle's record is 9-11 but they played a very hard non-conference schedule.  We played them a few months back VS Baylor and for 35 minutes they took it to Baylor.

Good luck tonite,  again No-Play.
