Sunday Jan 31st Picks

Hey there guys. I actually had my best day of picks, since I started up this blog, yesterday. State kept up their solid defense taking care of the SEC bottom feeder LSU 67-51, then Lucas Hargrove hit his free throw with 3 seconds left and Auburn won a nail biter 58-57, Kentucky took it to Vanderbilt from the start and while it wasn't a blowout it wasn't close either as the Wildcats won 85-72, and finally South Carolina, a.k.a. Devan Downey's team, won a close won as Downey hit a the go ahead layup with 50 seconds to go and than Georgia couldn't make their free throws and the Gamecocks won 78-77. In the NBA I went 4-2 and in the NHL I went 8-2. Well alright guys we've got 2 more SEC Men's Basketball games for you today as Arkansas heads to Oxford, MS to take on Ole Miss and Florida goes on the road to take on Tennessee. Oh and in the NBA don't forget to check out the LA Lakers @ Boston. That should be a good one as well. Alright guys let me know what you think.



SEC Men's Basketball

Florida 15-5 (4-2) @ #14/#14 Tennessee 15-4 (3-2)
12:00pm
TV: CBS
Line: Tenn -8.5

Players to Watch: Flo G Erving Walker 13.3ppg 5.3apg 1.7spg, Flo F Alex Tyus 12.5ppg 6.9rpg 0.9bpg, Tenn G Bobby Maze 9.1ppg 3.5apg 0.9spg, Tenn F Wayne Chism 11.6ppg 6.9rpg 1.4bpg

Preview: This is a game that intrigues me a little bit because while I believe that Tennessee should very well win this game they are on a bit of a cold streak recently while Florida on the other hand as won 4 in a row. I mean the when you look at this game it looks like an even battle. Maybe even giving a slight edge to Florida. But I like Tennessee at home.

Preview: The Hogs are coming off a second half comeback win over Mississippi State and Ole Miss is coming off back to back road wins (for the first time since 2001). I mean in every major statistic Ole Miss is better than Arkansas. I like Ole Miss at home in a comfortable win.
