Super Saturday

Wednesday was a nice day for the fund with a three game sweep, but there’s no party to throw just yet. There’s still that mountain to climb. This Saturday’s slate has 101 betting propositions, which sounds like any gambling junkie’s birthday. After suddenly increasing from one game a day to the three that were bet on Wednesday, today’s choices will double Wednesday’s figure (and hopefully the result).

I’ll take one unit on Providence -1.5 vs. Notre Dame because of the constantly talked about home/road split and Providence’s athleticism on the perimeter. Gimme one unit on Indiana +21.5 @ Purdue because I expect a Purdue letdown and a feisty effort from the Hoosiers. We’ll up it to two units for Marquette +3 @ Georgetown. I like the experience edge Marquette has and the fact Georgetown hasn’t beaten anyone decent since UConn. UCLA -12.5 vs. Washington State smells like a one unit play because Washington State’s man defense actually plays into the hands of UCLA, who is much better at home. California is looking for revenge at a resilient Oregon State team and the Cal -5 cooks into a two unit selection since Oregon State doesn’t defend the three-point line well. Finally it’s Depaul +25.5 @ Pittsburgh for one unit. While it looked extra nice at +27 when it opened, I’ll still take it here for one unit expecting a Panthers letdown from Monday’s slugfest.

Record: 23-28 on units (19-24 on selections)
Bank: $165.06

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