Sunday's Don't Make Sense Plays

first the re-cap. New Mexico State was an outright winner last night, making me 5-2 for my last 7 posted plays and 3-0 for the "don't make sense" plays. For Sunday, I have 2 that I can't decide between, so I'm going with both.

First one: Temple is 12-9 and 4-3 in the A10. Rhode Island is 16-7 and 5-3 in the A10. RI has won 4 in a row, including beating Temple at home by 8 on 1/28. So now Temple is a 5 point favorite at home against Rhode Island. 5 points ?? You'd have to be an idiot to bet Temple here, right ??

WRONG !! Temple covers my friends. Temple has a better RPI (49 to 62), the shoot a better free throw percentage, and they are a good home team (beat Tenny earlier this year). Temple wins by 10 today.


Second one: this one really don 't make sense. How the hell is UMass, who has lost 3 of their last 4, and who is 8-12 on the year (3-4 in the A10) a favorite over St. Joe's, who is 13-8 and 6-1 in the A10 ?? You'd really have to be an idiot to bet on UMass, right ???

WRONG !! My gut tells me that this is a true "don't make sense" play. UMass plays to the level of their competition--beating Kansas and Dayton and almost beating Xavier this year. They'll be up for a St. Joe's team that beat them twice last year, and who is playing their 4th road game in their last 5 games (at Penn on 1/24; at Richmond on 1/28; at Dayton on 2/1; home against GW on 2/4; and now back on the road at UMass today). The Minutemen shock St. Joe's this afternoon.

Sunday's "don't make sense" plays are Temple -5 and UMass -1.5.

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?
