Taking CINCINNATI. I had Nevada last game. Sweated out an OT win. Have to say. Go look at that box-score. 4 guys with more than 40 minutes. 6 players used. If Wolf Pack had Drew, I think they are a different team. But we saw them get beat up by San Diego State in 2 of their last 3 games including a 17 pt mauling in the MWC Championship. That was 55-25 at the half for those keeping score at home - Cincy is a tough, defensive team. Better than the Aztecs. And better than Nevada. Not sure how the legs hold up during the second half in this one. 4* Money Maker CINCINNATI BEARCATS

as a side note- we go 1-2 yesterday. Barely cashing the Zags, and just missing Kansas. Could have been 2-1, or 0-3. Should be at worse 8-6, maybe 9-6 with Davidson or even 10-6 if you caught So Dak State since Thursday.

As much as I want to put out Miss St, Butler, A&M, Oregon, Herd, FSU and UMBC - I put out a 2-2 Friday ticket and missed this dog wagon. Looks like a solid NIT Monday and the Sweet 16 awaits.

Let's close 2-0 and get ready for a new week.
