Not So Big Monday

It's an odd day when we finally hit a Monday in which there's no Big East or Big 12game to wager on. You gotta find the action somewhere, so we looked at some of the conference tournament games being played tonight. I like St. Mary's +7.5 vs. Gonzaga for one unit because if you watched the last game they played, you wouldn't think any other way. Until Patty Mills got hurt in that game, the Gaels were flying high. They'll take what they've learned without him, plus the added motivation of a NCAA Tournament guarantee. I'm also not as high on Gonzaga as some others out there.

For the smell of it, I'll add one unit on College of Charleston -3 vs. Tennessee-Chattanooga. There seems to be way too much public action behind it, so maybe the contrarians will win this battle. I'm backing the team that looks the best on the court and it helps that they won easily at Chattanooga because this isn't as neutral a game as you'd thinkg being played in Chattanooga.

Record: 47-49 on units (41-41 on selections)
Bank: $168.79


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