TARLETON

Anyone else shocked IT chose Tarleton too?

I would have been shocked if he had picked UTRGV.

Both ACU men's and women's =1 & done...

It doesn’t help, but the ACU & SFA game was incredible. Two teams giving everything they had and an unbelievable finish. Both teams had a chance to win. Great game.

CBU/SU will be a fun game I think and the SFA/UTA game could get ugly for SFA.

SeattleU is a -6.5 point favorite

UTA is a -1.5 point favorite


If Seattle can hit their outside shots I think Seattle wins by 15+ if they can't hit their outside shots its a game that could go down to the wire.

Im not sure SFA has the legs to go toe to toe with UTA after last night but they are a tough gritty team when they need to be. Should be fun!

I have major animus against Lumberjerks. They have had a long history of spoiling our parties. If we only beat them by 15 I'll be sad.

ACU has a history of causing heart attacks (maybe even both ways) when playing SFA no matter the sport. It always seems to be anyone's game when a matter of seconds are left, or at least that is often the case. We still have not recovered from that field goal in football.

Our first SLC championship was ruined by a one point loss after a Lumberjerk made three. I’m happy for any SFA win.

Anyone else shocked the dude that said, “make your picks folks!” was too much of a tenderfoot to make his own? #Lame

If there was a vote for the biggest homer for their school on the board, I suspect IT would be number one. You're prediction made me chuckle.

Second, I'm a dumb sports fan that believes me posting on a message board impacts my team outcome.

We are what we are.

Whoaa... where did this UTA team come from? They are killing SFA in the first half. UTA 48 to SFA 27. Not sure anyone would want to play them tonight. Basketball is so weird. Ups and downs. I figure Texans and Mavs will have a real battle with only one going to the finals. GCU better be rested.

109-78 tells me that the Jacks were tired after Wednesday, and that UTA is much improved over the last 8 games. Another JTAC-NTAC matchup should be fun.

ACU was definitely tired after Wednesday's game with SFA, but both teams usually are. SFA sure made a remarkable shot to beat us.

Alright. I'm at a sportsbook right now. Tarleton +1.5 or UTA -1.5? I'm tempted to go UTA because I know how hard it is to beat a team 3 times in one season, but I also know to always do the opposite of what my gut is telling me. Any advice?
