Ryan's CBB Notes: 3/6
by John Ryan

I am still quite upset regarding the Duke/UNC game and comments made by both Henderson and Coach K. Not intentional? Are you kidding me? Let's admit it, Coach K, this year's edition of the Blue Devils has NO chance of winning the National Championship, let alone the ACC one. Let's start admitting that if wasn't for your scouting and recruiting efforts you would not be half the coach you are. As my coaches told me over and over again, you tell a man's character when things go against you and how you respond to adversity clearly shows a reflection of a man's character.

So, Duke is out the equation and so is UCONN. In the first round of the Big East Tournament, which starts Wednesday in Madison Square Garden, I like Syracuse quite a bit and they are a 3* graded MAJOR release from my Ai Simulator. UCONN has to win at least the first two rounds to be even considered for an at-large birth and should they pull off the upset then Drexel MUST be heard from and talked about among the committee. Supporting this play on Syracuse is a system that has gone 26-9 ATS over the past 5 seasons. Play on any team in a tournament game, with 4+ more starters than opponent returning from last year.

As many of you know, I really like the Drexel Dragon team out of Philadelphia and the Colonial Athletic Association. They lost to Va Commonwealth, who won the CAA title last night over George Mason. Drexel has big wins on the road at Syracuse and at Villanova and has a resume quite close to the caliber of so-called locks Syracuse and Notre Dame. I do believe it would be a sham if Drexel was omitted simply because they are not in the National spotlight such as the overrated Syracuse and Notre Dame programs.

We had a poor day Monday losing both top rated 5* plays on Middle Tennessee State and Santa Clara, but are still riding a solid 15-7 ATS streak. Let's not forget either that I won two 10* Massive Monster games of the Year in College Hoops and the NBA. The NBA play was on road warrior Milwaukee as they stunned everyone with a 94-81 win over Toronto installed as a 5-point dog. Major League Baseball is right around the corner and this has been my perennial best money maker. This sport is so overlooked by amateur gamblers because they just do not know how to make dogs work for them. My Ai Simulator is a multi layered neural net that focuses on identifying dogs that have a large probability of winning. More on this as Opening Day approaches.
