Default Goodfella's Saturday NCAA Hoops 1/17 - Writeups

NCAA BB (0-0)

AFTERNOON PLAYS

**DUKE -8.5
- I feel the Dukies provide a problem for the Hoyas and Greg Monroe. GTown loves to bring Monroe out to the perimeter and back cut their guards/wings or have him drive, but Duke has some big guys that matchup well with Monroe defensively. Plus, the game is at Duke.

**ILL CHIC +4
- The public is loving Butler. The Flames are no pushover, with wins at Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt this season.

*FLA -10
Arkansas is young and will struggle in this game in a very tough place to play in Gainesville. The Hogs would have a OK shot at this one if it were in Fayetteville.

*DEPAUL PICK EM
-This is purely a gut play. The Bearcats are very athletic, but have no discipline. Depaul is awful this year and this spread makes no sense. I believe Depaul can match the Bearcat athleticism and pull this one out.

MORE TO COME LATER
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

ADDING:

**CLEMSON -3
-Wake Forest is on top of the world after their win against UNC and Teague has proven to be a great scorer. I think Clemson will win this game due to their overall athleticism and their ability to guard Teague. In my opinion, as Teague goes, so does Wake Forest. I think the Clemson guards have better size and ability to defend Teague than UNC did. I also like the experience that Clemson brings to the table in this game.

*TEXAS AM +4
-Blake Griffin has trouble against physical teams and I think the Aggies fit into this category. Add to the fact that Texas AM is undefeated at home this season and it is consistently a tough place to play. I like the Aggies to cover in this one.

ADDING

***LOUISVILLE -1.5
-Plan and simple, the #1 team in the country should never be an underdog to the #20 team ANYWHERE. I really don't think Pitt is the #1 team in the country, which is why Louisville is favored. I really think if Samuels stays out of foul trouble he matches up very well with Blair. These two teams are very equal in terms of talent, but I truly believe the difference in this game will be coaching. Pitino vs Dixon = Louisville win. I like the Cards a lot in this one.

*TEXAS -6.5
-I usually fade the public, but Texas Tech is not the Texas Tech of old. Bob Knight is not on the sidelines and the talent level is not where it has been over the past couple years. Texas is coming off a loss to Oklahoma and should win this one big.

NCAA BB (2-3) (-1.3 UNITS)

ADDING

*TENNESSEE -9
The Vols were embarassed last week by UK, but I believe they will bounce back with a big win tonight against South Carolina. The Cocks have only played 3 games on the road, where they went 2-1 with a big win over Baylor. They also had a big loss to LSU that is concerning though. Tennessee is a very talented team that needed a wake up call and I believe they got that after getting beat by UK earlier in the week. I like the Vols.

*INDIANA +5
The public loves the Lions in this one and I really think IU plays better basketball at home. I know the Hoosiers are big time down this year, but Penn State hasn't beat Indiana by more than 5 since 2003. I know this isn't your ordinary IU team, but I still like them in this game.
