Pool, thanks in advance for posting.
Asking if you will post your last three years of CBB records for everyone so people like crosby and alwayslooking can make a good decision on whether to follow you or not?
I know your last 2-3yrs were rough b/c I followed you in many games, but I was going by your 2011-2014 records. This will only help those out there know more about you and realize we are all the same.

At my age now I have stepped back from posting and betting on games. I just do it every now and then not every day. With that I have stopped keeping a record this year. It's more of a FYI than anything else. If you want to follow fine, If not fine, If you want to fade fine. I really don't care. COVID has really changed things a lot. Especially in football. You just never know who's going to be available or not. This year has been pretty bad so far. Here's what I have for the last 2 years.
20-21 153-127 +1.69U
19-20 125-122 -30.40U
As to the 3 games yesterday. Wright St was at home giving 19 to a IUPUI team that doesn't have a DI win. Not only that but IUPUI only had 8 players available. Wright St. was up by 10 at half and then by 20 with just over 5 minute to go. Then in the last couple of minutes Wright St. turned the ball over 3 times and missed 3 ft's and ended up winning by 14. Any other time Wright St. finishes that game strong and will cover.
Murray St. giving up 11 on the road at SIU-E. This is a very good Murray team this year BUT they have had a tendency in the past with good teams (once or twice in conference play) to get a big lead on the road and then just coast to the win. They were up 15 at half. First half FG 17-33 51.52%, 3FG 6-14 42.86%, FT 2-4 50%. Then in the second half FG 6-29 20.69%, 3FG 3-9 33.33%, FT 17-21 80.95 %. If they hadn't hit their ft's at such a high rate they would have lost the game. I have yet to figure out when an other wise very good team is going to quit against a team they should beat up on. It seems to always happen at least once a year with Murray you just never know when.
SEMO normally plays with 4 guards and a center. Though a couple of their guards are 6'5" and 6'6". Before the first half ended all of SEMO's true centers were out with injuries. That left them for the rest of the game to play with a lineup of all guards or a lineup of 4 guards and a 6'7" freshman forward who hasn't logged many minutes because of his own injuries earlier in the year. That was just too much to overcome against a now much bigger TSU team.
Not making excuses just letting you know how the games went and there are a lot of things you just can't account for when handicapping a game. G/L to everyone.
