Pick #1 Long Beach State wins by double digits
In these two teams last meeting, Long Beach (19-7) defeated Santa Barbara (15-8) with a comfortable margin of 23 (71-48) on the road. I'm not saying Long Beach will romp on them that bad, but with them at home, double digits seems like a reasonable prop. With the way Long Beach State has played lately, and the way they performed against Santa Barbara in their previous meeting, I like the 49ers.

February 21st Pick
Sorry such a late post. I had a hard time getting around to posting
Pick #1 Kentucky Wildcats: win by double digits
Mississippi State is 17-3 at home, however they have yet to really play a team at caliber of Kentucky. Also, the Bulldogs have really been struggling lately. In Mississippi State's last 9 games, they are just 4-5 including 0-3 in their last 3. Kentucky on the other hand, has played very well this season (aside from Indiana). I do have some concerns with this pick though; Kentucky has only played on the road 7 times this season (6-1), with 4 of those being won by double digits. Mississippi State is a decent team, and a great team at home, so it's a little hard to say whether the Wildcats can cover the prop with ease. I'm going with Kentucky though because of the Bulldogs slight slump they are currently in. It should be pretty close.
Line is Kentucky -9
Good luck whatever you do

February 19th (my birthday baby) Picks
Pick #1 Michigan State Spartans
This almost feels like a freebie. Purdue just kicked their guard Kelsey Barlow off the team, and suspended their forward/guard DJ Bird for this game. I'm really not sure there's much more to say. The Spartans look increadibly solid. I'll be placing a W6 on it.
Thats all for the 19th, I've got some birthday stuff I've got going on so I won't be posting anymore today.
Good Luck
Blog Record for February thus far- 11-3

February 18th Picks
Pick #1 Oral Roberts
Because this game starts in just 30 minutes, I don't really have a lot of time to go into detail. With them at home though, and having some pretty decent wins this season, I like Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts knocked off then-ranked #9 Xavier on road 64-42, and South Dakota State (a pretty solid team at 21-7). Oral Roberts also hasn't lost at home since their home opener to UTSA, as they are 15-1 this season at home. This one should be close, but I'll probably put my humble W3 on it since it's getting pretty late in the month. Good luck whatever you do.

Pick #2 Michigan Wolverines: 3-pointers made or tie
Michigan is 14-0 this season at home (Memphis and Duke were played at a neutral site), and averages about 8 3-pointers a game. There is also a bit of hype as to whether the Wolverines even need the 3-pointer prop on their side. Many believe they can win the game outright. I don't know if I would go that far, but I certainly think they can cover the pick. Also note that 3 of Ohio State's 4 losses have come on the road. I really like Michigan as well. Good luck Today.
