Thursday Feb 4th Picks

Hey there guys yesterday was another pretty good day as far as picks went. I went 1-1 in the SEC as Georgia blew a 12 point halftime lead and for the 3rd time in as many games Arkansas had 2nd half comeback upset. In fact the last two have been on the road. Look out for the Hogs? In the other game Vanderbilt and Mississippi State played a fairly even game and Vandy held off a final comeback by the Dogs for a 75-72 win. In NBA I went 8-3 and in the NHL I went 2-3 (ok not so good). But today has some solid games. As always guys let me know what you think.



SEC Men's Basketball

Florida 15-6 (4-3) @ Alabama 13-8 (4-3)
6:00pm
TV: ESPNU
Line: Bama -2.5

Players to Watch: Flo G Erving Walker 13.0ppg 5.2apg 1.6spg, Bama G Mikhail Torrance 15.1ppg 5.5apg 0.9spg, Bama F JaMychal Green 14.6ppg 7.2rpg 2.0bpg

Preview: This is going to be a close game. Bama plays better defense, and Florida rebounds better. I think straight up that the Gators are the better basketball team, but the Tide play solid defense and they are playing at home.

#14/#14 Tennessee 16-4 (4-2) @ LSU 9-12 (0-7)
8:00pm
TV: ESPN2
Line: Tenn -6.5

Players to Watch: Tenn G Bobby Maze 8.9ppg 3.4apg 0.9spg Tenn F Wayne Chism 11.8ppg 7.2rpg 1.4bpg, LSU F Tasmit Mitchell 17.9ppg 9.6rpg 0.4bpg, LSU F Storm Warren 12.8ppg 8.0rpg 1.4bpg

Preview: I really don't think any team is trying harder than LSU but they are shorthanded and without the talent to really compete. Tennessee is one of the better teams in the SEC and I think they'll come in with an inflated head so I don't think this will be a blowout.
