Hump Day Thoughts

What a great game the national championship was! Their is no denying Memphis, well you know, didn't finish. Though I hate to use the "c" word, maybe the best way to describe what happened is, it very difficult to shoot free throws with one hand around your neck.

After shooting free throws so badly all season, it made no sense how they could suddenly start shooting so well in the tournament. The law of average caught up to the Tigers based on previous perfomances. Nevertheless, Kansas had to made all the shots and clutch baskets. I can proudly say I picked the Jayhawks and made a nice sum of money at 5-1 odds.

With the NHL playoffs starting and having the coolest trophy in sports in the Stanley Cup, isn't it awful the NCAA trophy looked like something you order online for $19.99 plus free shipping. Seriously, CBS forked over a billion dollars for the TV and the online rights, the NCAA can't afford a trophy that looks like it has some stature. I'd wager the lacrosse trophy looks better than that cheap thing.

Finished the NCAA Tournament 13-9-1, 54.5 percent, which isn't all that bad after 3-5 start.

Tonight played the following:

NBA - 2* New York

NHL - Calgary +169 (more on why later)

MLB - Baltimore +134, White Sox -128

Strong Opinion
Pittsburgh +124

Good Luck
