NCAA Basketball Picks Of The Day - Feb. 12, 2008

NCAA Basketball Picks Of The Day

Yesterday did not fair well for our cappers as they racked up one win but three L’s.

New comer Fenboy (taking Portland - 5 last night) can thank Pepperdine’s Rico Tucker (Facebook Message or Poke) for scoring 17 points, all of them in the second half, as Pepperdine overcame an 18-point second-half deficit to beat Portland 71-66 giving Fenboy an 0-1 start.

Like Bone (taking Kansas -4.5 last night) said this was a huge game for both Texas and Kansas. The rivalry is quickly becoming the marquee match-up of the Big 12 conference. Bone’s player to watch, Brandon Rush (Facebook message or poke), was the key to Kansas’ loss scoring only 10 points, 3 below his season average, securing a 3 point cover busting loss for the Jayhawks.

New comer Gebsta (taking St. Mary’s +5.5 last night) didn’t fair well either. It came down to the wire but St. Mary’s couldn’t tack on two additional last seconds points to cover the spread in their 54-50 win against Santa Clara.

DA Zeus (taking Utah State +6.5 last night) was right on with his prediction as Vegas gave Utah State 1.5 points too many. Utah State covered the +6.5 spread bringing DA Zeus to an overall tie with Bone at 1-1.

Today we welcome capper K-Lo from Seton Hall University - hopefully he has a better first round then Fenboy and Gebsta did yesterday.

In this highlight video from 1981, Jordan’s shots were mostly jumpers under Dean Smith’s famous four corners offense. He missed his first shot which was eerily similar to the game-winning shot in the 1982 NCAA Final game. He made his next three. Read More »
