GOLD'S YTD 24-9
Last week was one of few losing weeks this year. Hopefully we can make it all up this week.
MONDAY
LOUISVILLE -3 GOLD..WINNER
WEST VIR +3.5...2 1/2 minutes to go up by 14 and Overtime...Loser
FAIRFIELD -3.5...1 basker...Loser
TUESDAY
VIR TECH +5...WINNER
OHIO ST +7...1 basket...Loser
ST JOE'S +16...WINNER
WEDNESDAY
BUTLER -10....WINNER
RI -13...Loser
FURMAN -10 GOLD (I don't know if this is the best pick in the world, but Furman is the better team, I should say the much better team. The problem comes that both teams are in that 1 team conference selection for the tournament....Now I'm pretty sure the Southern conference team will be Furman, which brings the question, how much effort do they give tonight? I do think it's at least a 10 point effort.... WINNER
THURSDAY
BELMONT -15.5..Loser
LOUIS TECH -12....WINNER
OREGON -9 GOLD (Utah isn't a bad team but at this point their a ways down the ladder in that selection of Tourney teams...in other words the bottom of the bubble...so I really don't see much of an effort.)...WINNER
MIDDLE TENN ST -8 GOLD..WINNER
MEMPHIS +4.5...WINNER
FRIDAY (DON'T GO CRAZY TONIGHT BECAUSE MY GOLD'S HAVE BEEN HOT)
PRINCETON -3 GOLD ( They will give it all they have tonight to end up with that top seed and it will be, in my opinion, a walk-in for that top spot if they win tonight)...WINNER
VCU -5 GOLD ( This team is looking for that bid at large , they might get that automatic but but they are right on the top of that bubble. They really need this game tonight for that bid)...WINNER
SATURDAY
BAYLOR -2 GOLD (Does anyone believe they will stay on the path of not playing well at home against Kansas ? The team fluffing their feathers today.)...Loser
ILLINOIS +5 GOLD ( Iowa is not going to the big dance and they know it...so sad too bad... Illinois wants to play in the NIT, both teams will be in the NIT....WINNER
OREGON -12 GOLD (All they need to do is crash the boards and stay away from turnovers and they win by 25...for some reason they have had problems with both when their minds aren't into it. I don't think this will be a problem today.)..WINNER
VIRGINIA +5 GOLD ( Very close game, I'm willing to bet this as a Gold but my least favorite...)...Loser
LOUIS TECH -13.5...WINNER
GEORGIA SOUTHERN -4...Loser
WICHITA ST -15.5....WINNER
WASHINGTON ST +4...WINNER
TEXAS AM -6...WINNER
SUNDAY
WISCONSIN -7 GOLD (Should be an easy win...badgers look good)...WINNER
DEPAUL +18 (I'm just not in love with Butler..they might be able to handle pressure but my grandmother could rebound better than them)...WINNER
GEOTOWN +7.5 ( Almost the same criticism as I have for Butler applies here... GEOTOWN knows how to rebound although I have , to my knowledge not bet on them this year... CREIGHTON might last their first game in the tournament.)...I will not be wrong next time I bet on this team...Loser
