Meanwhile, Creighton took down #23 Providence 69 to 60. That's another one I was going to put money on and I didn't.

This is the way it always works for me. If I am talking to my friends about "you should take that bet" but don't actually do it myself what I was talking about happens. However, if I actually make the bet it fails. I sometimes feel as though my participation affects the outcome of most games :)
