The Nines Picks for this weekend........

[2 Black Nines]

***Chicago Regional****

Illinois over UW-M- That punk Pearl gets smoked by the Illini. This game will be an absolute boatrace and not much more is said. I hope that UI runs it up on them becuase that Pearl guy is classless. 84-69

ARIZONA over Ok State- The headcase Joey Grahm will have anohter stinker of a game. Cats ride hot 30+ from "Slim" Stoudamire and a 15 and 12 night from Channing Frye. This one will be a close one but the 'Cats are too quick. 77-70

****Albuquerque****

WASHINGTON over Louisville- My toughest pick of the weak. UW has not gotten any credit all tourney. Over under for points 169. 92-91 OT.

BOBBY KNIGHT over West Virginia- I have said this before, I love this guy. No doubt he should be coach of the year. West Virginia goes cold in the Pit. Knight's squad wins this one in a grinder. 62-56



Stay tuned for the rest of my picks. OOOOOOOOPPPPPSSSSS

Pair of threes you have to have 57% of your picks correct to do this and make a living in Vegas. It appears you have potential but you may want to keep the cards at least until you go over your next four picks. 3 games are unpickable but I predict you get 75% tonight.

If you are reading this you may want to reconsider. It is 4:55 PM Thursday which means you need to be getting ready for the pregame in 5 minutes on CBS.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I really appreaciate it.

I wish that you would have critiqued my picks a little bit more.

But I am not as confident in my picks as my 99 against Johnny Chan's A8 in 1989.,

Washington has just about used the 25% allowed for this evening. Must be Pittinos jacket ??? Threes you nailed that Illinois game. even though Webers jacket was as lame as Washingtons game. Lets hope we see some roundball in the 2nd games.

I can not pick on your picks but I would be a little more confident in the Texas Tech pick if they had a player named AIR Bear (German for Herber) as does West Virginia.
