SMART BET College Basketball Super Wednesday 12/2
Posted by Brandon Phillips in College Basketball Picks on December 2nd, 2009 | 6 CommentsOverall Record 22-20-3
Overall Loss 2.2 units
GAME OF THE YEAR #1: New Orleans (+11) vs Tulane for 2 units. This line seems to be very high for a rivalry game against two competitive teams. New Orleans has been very solid against the spread and they play solid fundamental basketball. They shoot the ball above 37% from 3-point range and their point guard play as been very solid. I also like that their last out in a tough matchup with NC State they played tough and hung within the spread even though they did not play that well. Look for this team to be very focused in this cross-town rivalry. W for 2 units
2.) Pittsburgh at Duquesne (+6) for 1 unit L for 1 unit
3.) Oklahoma State at Tulsa (-2.5) for 1 unit W for 1 unit
4.) Wofford (+4) at West Carolina for 1 unit L for 1 unit

i figured i would see duke -4 on your list? i had my eyes on it tonight… any reason to stay away?
I do not know much about the Wisconsin squad. I do know that 3 of their starters played 2 years ago when Wisconsin was blown out at Cameron Indoor. You know they will be focused and ready for this challenge, especially since they are playing at home. I would lean towards Duke as they have appeared to be the best team in basketball so far this year. But, I could see this game being close throughout. I just think the games above offer a lot more value.
Brandon –
Awesome call on NO. I am kicking myself for not sprinkling the money line. They started slow but came roaring back.
Thanks again for the picks!

Good call to lay off the Duke game. They lost outright by 4pts. A non play is as good as a win. Keep up the good work.
yeh i will echo moose… after i asked you about duke yesterday i decided to lay off them and went heavy on your new orleans play… i also hit on dallas, sacramento, and missou st!
Thanks for all the comments. That NO squad is solid. Huge win to get us back on track.
By the way. How good is that Tulsa team? Talk about a sleeper. They have a legit shot to win C-USA this year.
