New to the Mall---FIRST PLAYS/LEANS

Hi everyone. Not trying to come in here acting like I'm all high and mighty. Just had been looking at this site for a little while and wanted to start posting my plays. I don't expect anyone to follow me, but not to toot my own horn but I tend to do pretty well on CBB plays. Tournament time is tricky sometimes but hopefully I'll start producing winners and gain some respect on this website, as that is my goal (winners and respect). I don't do much OVER/UNDER as I mostly pick sides. Occasionally I'll go for an O/U if it seems worth it, but hopefully some people will agree with my picks and I'll be successful here.


PLAYS
**all plays are 1 Unit unless stated otherwise**

Odds to win Big East Tournament:
.5 Unit on Georgetown +295
.5 Unit on Louisville +305

I just personally don't see the finals of this tournament ending up differently.

Rhode Island -1 (v Charlotte)
RI is a good team that has been in a major slump. Once a top 25 team they're the 11th seed and Charlotte is a 7th seed, yet RI is still favored. Going to play this one and if the line changes in RI's favorite enough to bet again on the ML I may do that before tip-off. Charlotte beat rhode island by I believe 10 last time they played. Just seems too interesting of a line to not take Rhode Island. Vegas must know something regular citizens don't.


Some leans I have right now (I like to look at line movements before I make my final plays unless I think the line will move against this number)

Syracuse -2 (v Villanova)
Game played in NY is really the only reason I'm considering 'cuse

Sacred Heart -2.5 (v Mount Saint Mary's)
Kind of same reasoning with the Syracuse game except Sacred Heart is a better team, especially at 'home'

UC Irvine -10.5 (v Long Beach State)
Might make a small play on this because I think the line is only going to get bigger.



Any and all opinions are more than welcome. Thanks good luck.

First of the leans to become a play is Syracuse -2

I'll update in this post as others become or don't become plays. I think UC irvine is not going to be one. line movement not happening even though most of public is on long beach state but i'll wait and see.

CHUMLY! Hey bud! Got kicked off that other board because of I guess my words to a certain Indy Colts fan. ANYWAY

Sacred Heart -2 is a play. Game is close to home for them. Never made it to the big dance and they've got a decent shot in their tournament.

And yes wyz---EFF syracuse. I think they thought the game ended 19 minutes into it up 8. Coach couldn't keep his team under control.
