Your "Bad Beat" for Saturday is on:
Providence (moneyline, minus $3) vs. South Florida.
West Virginia was laying five, erased a huge 14 or so point deficit, hit a pair of free throws with around five seconds remaining and watched Ohio State miss a backdoor jumper at the buzzer to win by six. That was a bad beat on the Buckeyes but not the baddest beat of the day.
Purdue was laying anywhere from 11 to 13 1/2 and were up by 27 points over Michigan. The Boilers won by 10 blowing the cover in a bad beat.
The Flyers scoring an empty netter with one second remaining to win 4-2 and destroy any Hurricane plus 1 1/2 players equaled a bad beat AND put the contest over the total of 5 1/2 destroying any under players.
But the "Bad Beat" for the day comes from the Dunkin Donuts Center where the Providence Friars somehow lost to South Florida in overtime despite pretty much having the game as won as won could ever be.
Keno Davis' team was running away with this thing up 13 with 2:55 to go, 11 with 1:38 to go, 93-86 with 32 seconds remaining and 95-90 with 11 seconds. But the Bulls kept coming and the Friars kept wetting the bed and Toarlyn Fitzpatrick nailed a three at the end of regulation to send this into overtime.
In the extra session it was South Florida who continued their superior play and won the game outright 109-105.
Up 13 points with under 3 to play, Wow!
Your winner for Sunday is on:
4* Colts (minus 8) vs. New York.
Two total duds backing Arkansas and Clemson yesterday in a pair of big plays.
The Jets certainly have stepped up their game running the ball and playing in your face defense with Darrelle Revis and other quality players but Cinderella comes to an end today.
This is Mark Sanchez on the road against quite possibly the greatest quarterback ever in Peyton Manning and that in itself will be worth the world. The Colts will not play the same pansy ass defense that the Chargers did and therefore Thomas Jones and Shonn Green will not just do whatever they want.
Indy will bring the heat and stifle the running game for the most part and force the rookie from USC to have to make plays to beat them and that just ain't happening.
I am not expecting an offensive explosion from the Colts but 24 points or so should be enough as this Indy defense which pretty much shut down Ray Rice and the Ravens will flex their muscles today and win this thing going away.
