It's rough times over at Rise and Fire with Mr. T's fund. Despite feeling confidence in last night's Purdue pick, I was uninformed before tip-off that Robbie Hummel wasn't going to be playing. It's not that I wasn't researched enough to find the information, it just wasn't released until right before gametime that he has a crack in one of his vertebrae. UNLV, on the other hand, blew a small lead in the final minutes, leading to a poor showing for Mr. TTonight's a night where the newly mastered three unit system was meant to come into play. Wake Forest has lost two of their last three games and they had down to Miami tonight. Wake Forest -2.5 @ Miami stares me right in the face as a three unit proposition because there's no way Wake is losing back to back games, let alone three out of four. This is a team that's a Final Four contender, going against a Miami team that hasn't recovered from an early non-conference game against Ohio State. I like Dino Gaudio and I'm putting my faith in him. For my second pick, I'll place one unit on Tennessee -4 @ Arkansas. Arkansas is another team on a tail spin and I expect Tennessee to use Saturday's thrashing of Florida as a trampoline. If I lose both games tonight, I truly plan on reevaluating my outlook on home court advantage because that's where I feel I've been burned so far.
Record: 13-18
Bank: $168.65
Mr. T's basketball fund started with an imaginary $200 and each unit represents $5 of action for every game he picks.
