- Very public showing by BC in the ACC Tourney has everyone (including ESPN pundits) glowing on their prospects, resulting IMO in an inflated line.
- BC played a grueling stretch of conference tourney games through Sunday, now must travel 3000 miles and 3 time zones to play on 4 days turnaround. In the last four years, teams from the major conferences that played conf. champ. games on Sunday are just 4-12 ATS in their first round games played on Thursday.
- 80%+ trends such as listed below are 5-0-1 since 2/1/06:
Play Against - Neutral court teams (BOSTON COLLEGE) - after 2 or more consecutive overs against opponent after 3 or more consecutive unders.
(28-6 over the last 5 seasons.) (82.4%, +21.4 units. Rating = 3*)
The situation's record this season is: (6-2).
Over the last 3 seasons the situation's record is: (21-4).
Since 1997 the situation's record is: (31-9).
End of regulation 65-65 ... I have under 135.
And of course I had Pac +8' and it goes to a 2nd OT where they proceed to get outscored 14-2 and I need a stiff drink.
RD...tough loss. Although I had BC, I also had the under! Unbelievable how a team can hang around all game, through an overtime, then completely get outplayed in the last 4 minutes...ouch.
Hopefully you are having your drink, and I am sucking down a cold one right now finishing some work and watching Marquette trying to recover.
Do you like anything else this evening? I really value your opinions in basketball. Let us know that the "train" is just stalled, but ready to "express" again!
