Friday Night Statement.

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

4-1 on the picks yesterday.

13-9-1 on the week.

The lone Friday pick is…..

VCU/STBON u131

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

@MertzGOAT @BarstoolBigCat @barryisthedon @PMTsportsbiz My thoughts are:

1. Wisconsin front court is admittedly a little soft for Liddell/Young/Key
2. Wisconsin’s bad three-point D could be exposed against Buckeyes who shoot 39% from deep

Taking the Buckeyes +3.5, but hoping for a great game!

I’ve been seeing a healthy amount of BYU trash talk leading up to this game, starting to think Gonzaga will be having none of it @slipperstillfit

9-8-1 on the week

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

Virginia (-1.5) escapes with a two-point win, overtime screwed up the over in SJU/UCONN.

4-3-1 on the day
9-8-1 on the week.

More picks coming tomorrow😈

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

Getting that -5 line early paid off😮‍💨

Rams make their last 14 free throws and escape w a 5-point win. David Roddy with 24 & 6, including a huge 2H three late.

3-1-1 so far today.

Looking for bounce back games from Duke and CSU, also trying to see if @MizzouHoops can prove their Bama win was more than a fluke😉

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

@GaryParrishCBS @EyeOnCBBPodcast @YouTube Texas Tech should have the Big 12 worried!

Red Raiders are balanced, gritty and playing a with a huge chip on their shoulder.

Here’s four other “under-the-radar” teams that are giving the top of their league trouble: https://t.co/OPV8ikpxvC

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

@IndyStarSports @ZachOsterman Indiana should have the top of the Big Ten worried, especially coming to Assembly Hall!

Can’t wait for that Jan 20 matchup with Purdue!
https://t.co/OPV8ikpxvC

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

@BenSteeleMJS Marquette should have Big East opponents worried.

10 new faces on the roster and it seems like things are finally coming together in the last three games!https://t.co/OPV8ikpxvC

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

@cmsilvajr @lubbockonline @AJ_DonWilliams I know you know Red Raider hoops better than me, so how does this sound:

Texas Tech is the under-the-radar team Big 12 opponents do not want to see on their schedule!

The balance on this team is incredible! https://t.co/OPV8ikpxvC

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

@BrentZwerneman @HoustonChron I know you know Aggies hoops better than me, so how does this sound:

Texas A&M is the under-the-radar team SEC opponents do not want to see on their schedule!

Quenton Jackson is legit!

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

@JonRothstein These teams are dangerous Jon!

See why Notre Dame, Marquette, Indiana, Texas A&M and Texas Tech are the thorn in the sides of their conference opponents:https://t.co/OPV8ikpxvC

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

They’re like that annoying little brother that won’t ever shut up.

They might now always win, but coaches and players alike are fearing a matchup with these squads this season🏀

Five teams conference opponents don’t want to see:https://t.co/OPV8ikpxvC

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

Auburn is legit. Huge win in Tuscaloosa 81-77 behind 25 from Jabari Smith.

Auburn +3✅
Auburn/Alabama o156✅

5-5 today.
More picks+content tomorrow 😁

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

WENDELL GREEN JR‼️

Five-nine guard has 19 off the bench for Auburn with NBA threes and crafty finishes in traffic.

Dude is a player, and he’s got the Tigers up 68-57 on Bama with 9:10 to play.

[Auburn Basketball @AuburnMBB]

LOGO WEN from Birmingham!

@icyywen is taking over in the 2nd half! Now with 19 pts, 3 ast, 3 stl

@benvl18 Thoughts and prayers Benny

[Joey Buckets @JoeyBucketsBlog]

Despite the loss, a truly gutsy performance by the Clones—they took this game personally.

Brockington is a special player brought ISU within one play of a shocker in Lawrence.

ISU +12.5✅
ISU/KU u140✅

3-3 so far today.

[Jake Marsh @JakeMarsh18]

(9) KANSAS SURVIVES!

An insane final sequence ends in a trading of buckets and (15) Iowa State missing a buzzer beating three.

Final in Lawrence: 62-61, Jayhawks.

Tonight's slate has been fantastic.
