Record: 123-117-4 (-12.5 units)
Recap:
What a bloody hard fought win. It was looking solid in the 1h sticking around the number but then the classic BIG 12 fouls started coming. Then in the second half started decent again in the first five minutes and then the refs had to stop that. I think there were five fouls in 1 minute. It really is incredible how soft some conferences are. I was already counting it as a lost when I started seeing the fouls. Then Baylor kept it interesting while Tech couldn’t hit shit. Then Tech pulled away and I had to avoid bullshit. Baylor wasn’t giving up and I thought they were going to bend me over but then a miracle happened. Baylor couldn’t get it close enough and then missed their final three and they ran out the clock it was truly a miracle. Ended 146 and I was saved. Needed that bad after sliding a little later last week. Let’s keep this shit going.
Lock:Â Illinois/Iowa U171.5 1u to win 0.9u
Groundbreaking Analysis:
A BIG 10 matchup with the line in the 170’s? Feed me it. An over that is getting 98% of the money. Feed me it. An over that is getting all the attention yet the line is moving down. Feed me all of it. This is also a classic ranked going into unranked. Iowa is also fighting to stay alive for a tourney spot. Illinois is playing for tourney seeding. This has to have defense. Both teams are going to play just a little defense and stop this from being a full blown shootout. I am praying that these BIG 10 refs have some integrity and let them play BIG 10 basketball. This is the play. This is they type of game where I win. I win and I win convincingly. Let’s get these fucking units back.
