Thursday Feb 11th Picks

Hey there guys,
Yesterday was an ok ish kind of day for me as I went 3-0 in SEC Basketball with Arkansas blowing out LSU at home despite Tiger F Tasmin Mitchell's double double, South Carolina came from behind in the second half to defeat Florida 77-71, and Auburn got up early on Georgia and kept a large lead from there on out winning 83-62. In the NBA I went 5-5, as Kobe-less for the third straight game the Lakers are now 3-0 without him as they won again at Utah behind Paul Gasol's 19 rebounds, Stephen Jackson's 33 points helped Charlotte to a 1 point road win at Minnesota, and than rookie Stephen Curry lead Golden State to a 30 point trouncing of the LA Clippers as he recorded his first career triple double. In the NHL I went 4-4 as my Predators pulled off a win in New York against the Rangers. Today there are some solid games, in the SEC, Ole Miss @ Miss State, as the Bulldogs look to get back on track, in the NBA, there are only 2 as this is the last day before the All-Star weekend this season, but they are both great games as the Orland Magic travel to Cleveland in a rematch of last years Conference Finals and what may be a preview of this years Finals, and than later the Spurs travel to Denver in a battle of Western teams, and then there are some fun games in the NHL as well. As always guys let me know what you think.

Preview: Rematch of one of the top Offenses in the SEC against one of the top defenses in the SEC. Ole Miss' Forward Reginald Buckner is still day-to-day and while the Rebels looked great in the second half of their 23 point comeback against Alabama they are going to need to play a full game like that if they want to pull off a win here today. Mississippi State is in the middle of a cold streak, having lost 4 of their last 5. If Ole Miss can play well off the rest and carry over the momentum from the second half of the Alabama game they might have a chance.
