WELL FELLAS IM LEAVING TONIGHT TO HEAD TO MONTBLEU IN LAKE TAHOE TO WATCH TOMORROWS GAMES AND GET AWAY FOR SOME R&R AFTER THESE LAST 2 DAYS.... I AM OFFICIALLY DOWN OVER 10K FOR THE TOURNEY YET IM STILL UP 9K FOR THE WHOLE SEASON….YOU CANT MAKE MONEY IF YOU DONT PLAY IT SO IM GOING TO MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME IN TAHOE TO CASH OUT SOME TICKETS…..IM A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED AS IVE LOST 2 BIG BETS THAT HAVE DRAINED WHAT WAS A VERY DECENT SEASON DESPITE MY RECORD…. BUT LIKE ALWAYS… IT CAN RAIN ONLY FOR A WHILE ( DEPENDING ON HOW BAD YOU ARE OR WHERE YOU LIVE ) BEFORE THE SUN SHINES AGAIN……. SO LETS GET TO SUNDAYS CARD….

TEXAS LONGHORNS (31-6) VS MEMPHIS TIGERS (36-1)

FIRST OF ALL BEFORE I GET INTO THIS…. SCREW YOU TEXAS FOR FRIDAYS GAME……OK NOW THAT IS OUT OF MY SYSTEM I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW TEXAS HANDLED STANFORD…WHEN YOU SHOOT 49% AND 31% FROM 3PT LAND AGAINST ANYONE YOU WILL IMPRESS A LOT OF PEOPLE…NOW IM NOT A BIG TEXAS OR BIG12 FAN BUT I GOT TO GIVE THE COACH AND HIS STAFF THEIR DUE FOR A GAMEPLAN WELL THOUGHT OUT..

NOW THESE LONGHORNS WILL FACE ANOTHER TEST IN THESE TIGERS WHO JUST KEEP WINNING AGAINST MANY PEOPLES BELIEF…YOU KNOW THE CRITICS THAT ARE SAYING THEY HAVENT PLAYED NO ONE …A SOFT SCHEDULE… ALL BLAH BLAH NEWSPAPER SHIT…. BOTTOM LINE IS 37 GAMES AND SINGLE LOSS TO TENNESSEE (WHOM TEXAS SPANKED 97-78 EARLY IN THE SEASON) WINNERS ARE WINNERS NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT…. BUT HISTORY HAS BEEN REPEATING ITSELF OVER TIME AND TIME AGAIN IN THIS TOURNEY….FOR SOME REASON THAT HISTORY TREND IS THE PREVAILING ONE AND I THINK IT WILL CONTINUE TODAY, SO I WILL BE PLAYING A SMALL PLAY ON TEXAS BEING THAT MEMPHIS HAS ALL THE BAD NEGATIVITY AND TOURNEY MONKEY ON ITS BACK FROM UCLA 2 YEARS AGO AND OHIO STATE LAST YEAR….BUT THE REAL VALUE IS IN THE TOTAL FOR THIS GAME…..

NOW THE GAME ITSELF IS GOING TO BE A DOGFIGHT AS TEXAS HAS IN ITS LAST 5 GAME AVERAGE JUMPED OUT 41.4 POINTS AT HALF AND FINISHED WITH 76.4 POINTS WHILE MEMPHIS HAS JUMPED OUT WITH 41 AND FINISHING WITH 80.4…. BUT BOTH TEAMS HAVE SHOWN DEFENSE IN TOURNEY PLAY WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE HERE IN THE ELITE 8.

ACCORDING TO 5 GAME STATS THIS GAME IS SCHEDULED TO PLAY OUT:

HALFTIME ~ MEMPHIS 36.9 TEXAS 32.1~ HALF TOTAL 69 PTS
FINAL ~~~~ MEMPHIS 72.3 TEXAS 69.7 ~ FINAL TOTAL 141

BUT IN THOSE 5 GAMES FOR TEXAS YOU HAD THE AUSTIN PEAY GAME AND FOR MEMPHIS THEY HAD THAT ARLINGTON GAME…

SO LAST 3 GAMES FINAL SCORE ON STATS ALONE WOULD BE:

MEMPHIS 74 ~~~ TEXAS 72.7 FINAL TOTAL 146.7

IF YOU JUST USE THE LAST 2 GAMES FROM BOTH TEAMS

TEXAS 76.2 ~~~ MEMPHIS 75.7 FINAL TOTAL 151.9

JUST ON STATS ALONE I LIKE THIS OVER ….AS IN TOURNEY PLAY TEXAS IS SHOOTING 46.4% AND MEMPHIS IS SHOOTING 49.1%….. NOW WE KNOW THAT BOTH TEAMS ARE CAPABLE OF RECENT SOLID DEFENSE…BUT IN BOTH THEIR LAST GAMES THEY GOT AHEAD PRETTY BIG AND THOSE DEFENSE NUMBERS ARE A LITTLE EXPANDED CUZ OF THAT…. IM PULLING FOR THIS OVER TONIGHT AS SOME WILL BE A LITTLE SKEPTICAL AS BOTH TEAMS FT SHOOTING DOWN THE STRETCH MAY BE OF A CONCERN OR OF MY RECENT PERFORMANCE IN MY HANDICAPPING…. BUT LIKE IVE SAID EARLIER… THE RAIN HAS TO STOP SOMEDAY AND TODAY IS THAT DAY…. TAKE THIS OVER TOMORROW AS WE ERASE SOME OF THE PAST!!!!

THE ROOKIEEE PICKS

40**** TEXAS/MEMPHIS OVER 142.5
10**** TEXAS +3.5

DAVIDSON WILDCATS (29-6) VS KANSAS JAYHAWKS (34-3)

WELL HERE WE ARE FOR ANOTHER DAVID AND GOLIATH STORY PART 2… WE ALL KNOW WHAT THIS TEAM DID TO GEORGETOWN AND WISKY….WELL WE NOW KNOW HIS NAME…STEPHEN CURRY …. HE HAS BEEN BY FAR THE TOURNEYS MVP FOR HIS TEAM AS HE HAS SINGLE HANDILY BEAT THESE BIG SCHOOLS WITH HIS GRACEFUL 3PT SHOT AND EXCEPTIONAL FT SHOOTING...WISKY FOUND OUT DAVIDSON WAS JUST NOT A ONE MAN SHOW AS THEY HAVE ANOTHER GUARD NAMED RICHARDS WHO CAN DRIBBLE AND SHOOT WITH A SWEET TOUCH OR DISH IT OUT LIKE CURRY TO THE BIG MAN LOVEDALE WHO HAS STEPPED UP HIS GAME IN THE TOURNEY…. BUT CAN THE RUN CONTINUE???

WE ALL KNOW KANSAS AND THE BIG 12’S BIG PLAYERS, THE FAST WITH GREAT SHOOTING GUARDS….EVERYONE INCLUDING YOU KNOWS WHAT TO EXPECT FROM KANSAS…THE QUESTION IS HOW WELL ARE THEY PREPARED FOR THIS CINDERELLA TEAM THAT FEW THOUGHT WOULD GET THIS FAR…. HOW MANY SCOUTS OR HOURS OF GAMEFILM DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE ACTUALLY STUDIED…..IMO NOT VERY MUCH…. I THINK THEY WERE PREPARING FOR GEORGETOWN OR WISKY AND NOW GUESS WHAT…. THEY GET TO PLAY A TEAM THAT IS PLAYING HUNGRY ON EMOTION AND PLAYING WITH NO FEAR…. NOT ONE OF THESE KIDS DON’T BELIEVE THEY CAN GET TO THE FINAL 4 AFTER WHAT THEY HAVE JUST ACCOMPLISHED…AND YOU CAN BET THAT THEY WILL GIVE EVERYBIT OF THAT 110% IF NOT MORE IN THIS GAME….

NOW BASED ON 5 GAME STATS I HAVE THIS GAME TIED AT THE BELL 69.5-69.5 FOR A FINAL TOTAL 139 POINTS…BUT THAT IS JUST BASED ON PREVIOUS GAME STATS AND THIS GAME YOU NEED MORE THAN THAT AS KANSAS HASN’T REALLY PLAYED TOUGH GAMES IN ITS LAST 3….THEY WERE BLOWING OUT VILLY 41-22 AT THE HALF~~THEY PLAYED A 10 SUITUP TEAM IN UNLV AND RAN AWAY ONCE A FEW STARTERS FOULED OUT WITH 10 MINUTES LEFT~~AND PORTLAND ST??? CMON NOW…. BUT ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT IN THE GAME BEFORE THAT IN THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST ANOTHER ELITE 8 TEAM THAT PLAYS EARLIER (TEXAS)…. THE SCORE WAS 45-46 AT HALFTIME WITH THE FINAL ENDING BY KANSAS WINNING BY 10 (84-74)…. LATE FREE THROWS BROUGHT IT TO THAT NUMBER….THE GAME BEFORE THAT AGAINST TEX AM WHERE AT HALFTIME IT WAS TIED AT 34 BEFORE KANSAS WON BY 6 AS 10 POINT CHALK (77-71)….SO IMO I BELIVE THAT DAVIDSON CAN STAY CLOSE WITH THIS TEAM. IN THEIR LAST 5 AT HALF THEY HAVE AVERAGED 33.8 WHILE GIVING UP 32.6 …. IN THIS GAME WITH KANSAS I EXPECT THE NUMBER TO BE AROUND 36-40 IN FAVOR OF KANSAS… WITH THE SHOOTERS THEY HAVE AND THE CLOSE GAME KANSAS HASN’T FELT IN THIS TOURNEY...IM GOING TO RUN WITH THESE WILDCATS AND THE INFLATED NUMBER TO NOT ONLY COVER BUT PULL YET ANOTHER UPSET OVER THESE JAYHAWKS IN A HIGH SCORING BATTLE OF THE BIRDS. *** PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE TEX AND AM GAME THAT WERE CLOSE AT HALFTIME...BOTH GAMES WENT OVER THE TOTAL!!!!****

THE ROOKIEEE PICKS

25**** DAVIDSON +9.5
15**** DAVIDSON/KANSAS OVER 144.5
