Hey there guys,
Due to a research paper there will be no thoughts in today's post but they will resume tomorrow along with the Recruiting Recap, which will go over LSU. Anyway yesterday was another OK day, I still have the combine on my mind haha, and I went 2-1 in SEC Basketball as LSU pulled off their first victory of the season, and even though I picked Arkansas I did mention in the power rankings in LSU's section that I would not be surprised if they won at least one or even all of their final games, Ole Miss went on a 40-17 run in the 2nd half to come back and win 85-75, and Mississippi State played a great game with Alabama and the Bulldogs held on to their NCAA Hopes by claiming first place in the SEC West with a 74-66 win. In the NBA I went 8-3 as Utah got by Charlotte by 9 behind Carlos Boozer dropped 33 points and 16 rebounds, Dwight Howard got yet another double double (30pts 16rbs) as the Magic defeated the Rockets in Houston, and Luol Deng dropped 31 as the Bulls beat the Pacers by 10. Today there are some pretty good games, in the SEC it's payback time for ranked teams who were upset by the teams they play today as South Carolina travels to Kentucky and Georgia makes a trip North to Vanderbilt. In the NBA Cleveland travels to Boston in a potential playoff match up on TNT tonight. Should be a good one. Hope you enjoy.
My Picks.....
SEC Men's Basketball
Georgia 12-13 (4-8) @ #16/#20 Vanderbilt 20-6 (9-3)
6:00pm
ESPNU
Line: Vandy -12
Players to Watch: UGA Dustin Ware 8.0ppg 3.3apg 1.0spg UGA F Trey Thompkins 17.6ppg 8.2rpg 1.1bpg
Preview: Georgia has been great at upsetting teams this season, in fact they upset Vanderbilt in Athens, 72-58, earlier this season. But that is just it. Georgia upsets teams at HOME, not on the road, and with Vanderbilt fighting for seeding and wanting revenge I don't see the underrated Dawgs being able to do much to make this a game.
Vanderbilt by 20
South Carolina 14-12 (5-7) @ #2/#2 Kentucky 26-1 (11-1)
8:00pm
ESPN2
Line: Kent -16
Players to Watch: SC G Devan Downey 22.7ppg 3.5apg 2.9spg, Kent G John Wall 16.8ppg 6.3apg 1.9spg, Kent G Eric Bledsoe 10.7ppg 3.3apg 1.4spg, Kent F DeMarcus Cousins 16.1ppg 10.1rpg 1.7bpg, Kent F Patrick Patterson 14.8ppg 7.6rpg 1.0bpg
Preview: South Carolina has been struggling as of late, losing 3 in a row, including getting roughed up in their last road game by 13 at Arkansas, and this game just does not look good for the Gamecocks. Kentucky has lost one game this season. At South Carolina. Kentucky is going to be looking for revenge today. And I don't just don't see this one being pretty.
Kentucky by 23
