Road Warriors

Tuesday was a nice day in the sun. A couple of home favorites treated us well as Ohio State coasted and LSU took care of business. Being 11-5 on selections in the last week is a nice feeling. There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, so I’m pouncing on the momentum.

Tonight, we’re going with three road teams. It’s two units on Purdue -2 @ Michigan. Purdue’s defense should handle Beilein’s offense and the Wolverines are slowly finding their way into the NIT. Maybe Memphis -4 @ UAB is a trap situation, but since no one’s playing as well as Memphis these days, I’ll throw a unit behind them. They realize this is the last tough game before the NCAA tournament and Calipari should have them focused. I’ll also take one unit on Minnesota +8 @ Illinois. When Illinois encounters good defensive teams, their offense goes into the tank. Expect another Big Ten slugfest.

Record: 32-36 on units (27-29 on selections)
Bank: $165.09


Mr. T's basketball fund started with an imaginary $200 and each unit represents $5 of action for every game he picks.
