stevenash Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I noticed where a number 1 seed is picked to lose to a # 3 seed. Therefore, Dicky V, I see no way you can resist the forthcoming offer. We have already agreed to a $20 bet where you and Soulja are both taking Ozen. My only requirement was that if I lost, I wanted Soulja to deliver the $ to you so you won't hassle me about the loss. I want to offer you an opportunity to enhance your proceeds. The total points scored between Ozen and Nederland in their two games was 93 for Ozen and 88 for Nederland. Therefore, if you would like to give me Nederland plus 5, I am offering to replace our original bet with a new bet where I put up $100 to your $20 in exchange for being given 5 points. If you prefer the original bet, that is ok with me but since you are particularly confident about the outcome, I thought you would prefer to make $100 instead of $20 while putting only $20 at risk in either case.
Honest Abe Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I wonder if HF had beaten Navasota Friday night if they would be the favorite against HJ this Tuesday?? ???

AggiesAreWe Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 So just what is wrong with Ozen being the favorite in this game?

Dick Vitale Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Oh my GOD!! Now these guys are comparing NEDERLAND to Duke, Kansas, and UNC!!! I have seen it all! :o.....Of course Ozen is the favorite!! Oh my God, you guys cannot be serious! ::) ???

Baylor, ISU, and FL State are 3rd place teams (as was Summer Creek). Kansas and Humble finished 1st in their standings, and NC and Duke are CO, yes CO-Champs of the ACC. Duke and FL State split their season meetings, just like Nederland and Ozen. Somehow you have the 3rd seed team as a favorite against the 1st seed team in the SAME district! Just doesn't seem logical.

Who would have been the favorite between Humble and KW Park (had they met again in the playoffs)? They split their head to heads in district play, yet Humble finished #1 and KW Park #2. I know for a fact that Humble would have been the favorite.
Honest Abe Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Did you simply ignore the fact that Ozen lost to Livingston in the 12th game in district by 17 points?!
Dick Vitale Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 It's NEDERLAND....at the end of the day... 8)
AggiesAreWe Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I put Ozen the favorite based on the fact that the last time these two played, Ozen won by double digits. Also, IMO, I believe Ozen is playing the better basketball of late based on their two playoff victories over what I consider better opponents than what Nederland faced. I believe that Humble and North Forest are better teams than Dayton and Magnolia. Humble was district champion and state ranked and North Forest was runner up in their district, sweeping Dayton in district, a team that Nederland struggled with in the first round.I admit that I was wrong with making Magnolia a favorite over Nederland but I see nothing wrong with making Ozen a favorite over Nederland based on what I just stated.IMO, Ozen is playing a little better basketball of late than Nederland therefore why I have them as 4 point favorites.I do not see where that is so hard to understand.

Dick Vitale Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 UNREALISTIC expectations of their program.
asary Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Ozen is playing good right now. But as their loss to Livingston proved, they are also capable of playing badly, as is any team. IMO previously played games don't mean much at this point, it is all about the game at hand. Overall, Nederland will handle Ozen's pressure, and will ultimately win this game at the FT line in the 4th qtr
