Your "Bad Beat" for Sunday is on:
Penn State (moneyline plus $4) at Wisconsin.
This Beat is pretty much a carbon copy of yesterday's as South Florida miraculously came back and won in overtime as the huge dog. Today the favorite did just that as the Wisconsin Badgers were the 12 point chalk at Madison but yet trailed pretty much the entire game.
Talor Battle was great and PSU shockingly led 52-36 with a little over 10 minutes remaining.
Then came the debacle!
Ed DeChellis' team stopped scoring. The game was still 60-52 Nittany's with under 2 minutes remaining so it all seemed right for the underdog visitors but Wiscy ended the game on an 8-0 run capped by a Jordan Taylor jumper with 26 seconds left in regulation.
This thing went to overtime and it as all Badgers from there as Taylor scored 8 points in the extra session and the boys from Madison went on to the 79-71 huge come from behind victory.
Your winners for Monday are on:
3* Georgetown (plus 6) at Syracuse.
2* Penguins (minus 115) at New York.
One play on Sunday, a 4* on the Colts that turned the trick in the end!
Syracuse has been great this season with that one loss but Georgetown is not far behind with their quality 15-3 mark. Both of these teams are extremely dangerous and have a great shot to go far in the NCAA Tournament. It certainly helps Jim Boeheim's squad to be at the Carrier Dome today but to be honest with you the Orange have actually been a more focused and better team on the road.
The Hoyas have a huge mismatch problem down low in Greg Monroe and are a team that certainly won't be afraid of this Syracuse raucous crowd. John Thompson III's team is prepared for a spot such as this and will be in this thing until the bitter end. To get a handsome price back like this is a no-brainer.
The Rangers pretty much stink and to get the defending champs with Crosby and Malikin and Staal and Gonchar and others and not lay much of anything is too good to pass up.
New York started out the season great as they usually seem to do but the fade has been in for awhile now and this price is therefore just too cheap on the visitors from Pittsburgh. John Tortorella's boys just looked dismal falling in Montreal 6-0 to a bad Canadiens squad and I don't see MSG being the saviour here against today's great opponent.
Pittsburgh did play yesterday against Philadelphia, inning 2-1, and may have a little tired legs but it doesn't matter in the end as the Pens are just too good!
