College Basketball 1/29/09: Jordan Picks Washington at Arizona
Washington (15-4) at Arizona (12-8)
The Line: Arizona + 1 1/2
Washington looked amazing in their last game taking down UCLA and I like them to carry that momentum down to Tucson. Arizona is very inconsistent and poorly coached. They lack chemistry and don’t foul way too much. John Brockman may meet his match in Arizona C [...]
College Basketball 1/28/09: Ryan Picks Connecticut at DePaul
Connecticut Huskies (18-1) at DePaul Blue Demons (8-12)
The Line: DePaul +12
Wednesday, Jan. 28—9:00 PM EST
Preview
The second ranked team in the country faces off against one of the few remaining Big East winless teams on Wednesday. The Connecticut Huskies (No. 2 AP, No. 2 Coaches, 7-1, 18-1) suffered their only loss of the season in the [...]
College Basketball 1/27/09: Jordan Picks Northeastern at VCU
Northeastern (13-6) at VCU (15-5)
The Line: VCU -6 1/2
Eric Maynor and Co. at home is a done deal. VCU is undefeated at home this year and Maynor has been unstoppable. He is averaging 25 points and six assists and no guard in the CAA can guard him. Northeastern has had a descent year themselves and [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Ryan Picks UConn at Notre Dame
Connecticut (17-1) at Notre Dame (12-5)
The Line: Notre Dame +2
Preview
Connecticut (No. 3 AP, No. 3 Coaches, 6-1, 17-1) is in the midst of
a fantastic season. They lost the season opener at home to Georgetown,
but aside from that have been perfect. Some of their recent games have
been closer than many would like, but the bottom line [...]
College Basketball 1/24/09: Jordan Picks UCLA at Washington
UCLA (15-3) at Washington (14-4)
The Line: Washington -1
This Washington team has been begging to prove themselves vs. a team like the Bruins. UCLA will have no answer for Brockman and Isiah Thomas will surprise Darren Collison. UCLA had to really battle to sneak out of Wazzou with a win and it would be really tough [...]
College Basketball 1/22/09: Jordan Picks USC at Washington
USC (12-5) at Washington (13-4)
The Line: Washington -6
Washington will take care of business vs. the Trojans. The Huskies have a tough home court that they rarely lose at, and a tough center that doesn’t allow anyone the weak stuff. Taj Gibson better hit the weight room if he wants to battle for position inside vs. [...]
College Basketball 1/21/09: Sam Picks Villanova at UConn
Villanova (14-3) at Connecticut (16-1)
The Line: Connecticut -9
Two teams averaging similar PPG, PPG Allowed, however UCONN enters tonight’s game with a six-game win streak , and they have won five of its six league games to this point. Last game they played lights out and handed Seton Hall a 76-61 defeat. Looking [...]
Mitch Picks The Independence Bowl: Louisiana Tech Vs. Northern Illinois
I can’t express how good it feels to have the site up and running.
While I enjoy having a site and especially one as successful as The College Football Place, it involves just a ton of work and that workload tripled over the past few days. While a hacker may be more technically adept than I [...]
Connecticut at South Florida (UConn at USF) 11/23/08 College Football
South Florida -3 Vs. Connecticut (Sunday 11/23/08, 8 EST) 5 out 10
This is an odd game, it is one of those games where if someone would have blurted out the the line and who is playing I wouldn’t have batted an eye and I would have said UConn. A funny thing happened while looking into [...]
