[Mark's Moneymakers]

It is time to jump into college hoops. I usually wait until January when conference play really gets into swing, but I have been keeping my eyes on things and I feel I can pick some winners now.

I am going to do this a little different than I do football. Instead of posting daily threads, I think I will just keep everything in one continuous running thread. I will not have the long winded write-ups that I do in football either. Much of the time I will not even have a write-up at all.

In football I had best bets (3 units), strong plays (2 units) and regular plays (1 unit). Everything in college hoops will be for one unit. I am going to try and limit the amount of plays and if I do that I am going to strongly like my picks and cannot justify making one better than another. I probably will not make this a daily thing yet, so I will be taking some days off. With that being said, lets get started.


Wednesday, December 5th


Pittsburgh -5.5 vs Duquesne……….Duquesne improved, but Pitt is much better. Might be close for a while, but talent pulls away in the 2nd half.

Creighton +11.5 vs Xavier……………..Xavier not this many points better than Creighton. This reeks of a close game to me.

S Alabama -4 vs S Mississippi…………..Sometimes you just have to go with gut feelings this early.


There you have it, my first night in college hoops. Of course I would love to start 3-0, but I will be fine with 2-1.

Good Luck Everybody!! Opinions welcome.
