Reasoning: Tommy Amaker has done a really good job with the Crimson and I do believe that this Harvard team is legitimately good, not just Ivy League good. But with that said they are coming off of the gut wrenching loss against Princeton at the buzzer and now\u00a0just a few days later have to go to a very different type of an atmosphere in Stillwater in a much minor tournament after having their hopes and dreams crushed the way they were. Can they be successful in this scenario? I just don\u2019t see it happening.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys certainly did not have one of their best years but they still finished up at 19-13 after winning three of their last five games including the great effort and one point loss to Kansas in the Big 12 tournament. I do like Travis Ford a lot and for the most part Okie State is\u00a0always very good at home and it\u2019s not like they are a heartbroken team that can sulk after not making the Big Dance. Obviously the loss to the Jayhawks was tough but they didn\u2019t exactly come into that the Big 12 tournament as an at large team or one that had a real chance to win the conference tournament.<\/p>\n

Marshall Moses, Keiton Page and Ray Penn lead a team that has beaten Kansas State and Missouri at home among others and no matter how improved and legit Harvard is they are still not up to snuff when compared to those semi heavyweights.<\/p>\n

The emotional loss against the Tigers was beyond stinging for the smarter kids on the floor today and in the end tonight I\u2019ll eat some chalk with Oklahoma State in Stillwater.<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: Oklahoma State from Matt Rivers.<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>Yup that\u2019s right, I did it again on Monday and with even more ease than with Duke on Sunday. 400,000* Miami absolutely destroyed San Antonio as I believed they would. It\u2019s now an overall 11-4 run and well over a whopping 3 million* of profit after winning for the 8th<\/sup> day in the last 9. Just digest those numbers and realize that without a shadow of a doubt they get even better today!<\/p>\n

Another major 400,000* release is here between Clemson and UAB to go along with a 300,000* Coastal Carolina and Alabama. Oh Nellie, here I go again! Get Matt Rivers entire card<\/a> exclusively at OffshoreInsiders.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
