02-28-23 | Holy Cross +6 v. Loyola Maryland | Top | 69-73 | Win | 100 | 12 h 0 m | Show |
This is a 10* PATRIOT LEAGUE TOURNEY GOY on Holy Cross. Neither team is very good. Loyola Maryland finished 12-19 and in seventh in the Conference, while Holy Cross was right below it in eighth with a 10-21 record. The last time these teams played against each other, Loyola Maryland earned the 90-68 victory as a 4.5-point favorite just last week. "Revenge" is a dish best served cold they say, and I hear that it's absolutely freezing at Loyola Maryland today. Note that Holy Cross is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference loss against an opponent. Also note that it did win the first matchup with the Greyhounds in the 63-55 victory back on January 8th. These teams are evenly matched and in a contest that I see being decided by whichever side has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. The play is HOLY CROSS. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-27-23 | Montana State +3 v. Eastern Washington | Top | 79-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on Montana State. I love the way this one sets up for the visiting side. Two really good teams going head-to-head here in the final game of the regular season for these Big Sky opponents. Montanta State is 21-9, including 9-5 on the road, while Eastern Washington is 22-8, including 11-0 at home. The Bobcats would love nothing more than to hand the Eagles their first loss of the season at home, while at the same time avenging a 70-67 loss to EWU as six-point favorites on December 31st. Note that Montana State is 4-1 ATS in its last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite vs. a conference opponent. Clearly, the outright win isn't out of the question, but the official call will be to grab as many points as you can. The play is MONTANA STATE. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-26-23 | Valparaiso +6 v. Murray State | Top | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* MISSOURI VALLEY GOY on Valparaiso. I love the way this one sets up for Valparaiso to, at the very least, comfortably sneak in through the backdoor down the stretch. Valpo is just 11-19. It's off three straight SU/ATS losses in a row, which is significant to note here as the Beacons are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. They also play with revenge here after a 77-70 OT home loss to Murray State as three-point underdogs back in December, which is also important to note here, as Valporaiso is 4-1 ATS in its last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss against an opponent. Murray State is getting just a little too much respect here in my opinion, after an 84-69 road loss at Missouri State last time out. I'm not calling for the outright upset, but this one comes "right down to the wire." Grab the points, the play is VALPARAISO. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-25-23 | Idaho +8.5 v. Weber State | Top | 53-67 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 45 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG SKY GOY on Idaho. I love the way this one sets up for Idaho here. The Vandals are just 10-19, including 4-10 on the road, while Weber State is 15-14, including 7-4 at home. Idaho though is playing with revenge here after a 73-65 loss at home to Weber State as a 2.5-point underdog in January, and that's significant to note here as the Vandals are 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss against an opponent. And with an even "easier" game upcoming vs. 8-21 Northern Arizona on the road to end the regular season, there's every reason to believe that the home side will take the foot off the gas in the second half of this one. Look for IDAHO to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-25-23 | Northern Illinois v. Central Michigan OVER 135 | 84-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* MAC SUPER TOTAL on the OVER NIU/CMU. These teams played to a lower-scoring UNDER when they played earlier in the season, but all signs point to this rematch flying OVER the posted number as the game comes down the stretch. NIU won that game by a score of 73-54. Note though that the Chips have seen the total go OVER the number in nine of their last 12 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss against an opponent. CMU is coming off B2B losses. It fell 63-35 in its last outing at Buffalo. Note though that CMU has seen the total go OVER the number in four of its last five after a loss in which it was held to 41 or fewer points in. NIU has lost three straight, and the Huskies have seen the total go OVER the number in five of their last seven after three or more SU losses in a row. As mentioned above, all signs point to this games total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-25-23 | Michigan State v. Iowa -5.5 | Top | 106-112 | Win | 100 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
This is a 10* DESTRUCTION on Iowa. MSU is 17-10, but it's just 3-5 on the road. Iowa is 17-11, but it's 13-2 at home. Look for the home floor advantage to prove to be BIG in the outcome of this one. One other factor working in Iowa's favor here is that it plays with revenge after falling 63-61 at MSU back in January, and that's significant to note, as the Hawkeyes are 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to avenge a SU conference road loss against an opponent. The play is IOWA. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-24-23 | Richmond +9.5 v. VCU | 58-73 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* SIDE BLOWOUT on Richmond. Richmond has done well in this spot for bettors, and I expect this strong trend to continue here. The Spiders have been trading wins and losses over their last five games, but off an 81-78 SU win over Saint Louis as an underdog, I look for them to keep the momentum rolling. They also play with revenge here after 74-62 at home to VCU as 1.5-point favorites back in January. Note that Richmond is a near-perfect 5-1 ATS in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent. No outright, but closer than expected. Grab the points, the play is RICHMOND. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-24-23 | Austin Peay v. Florida Gulf Coast OVER 134.5 | Top | 71-89 | Win | 100 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
This is a 10* ASUN TOY on the OVER Austin Peay/FGCU. This one sets up well to be high-scoring affair from a situational stand point. This is the final game of the regular season for both teams. Austin Peay has seen the total go UNDER the number in six straight. That's significant to note though, as the Governors have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 still after playing to five or more straight UNDERS in a row. Florida Gulf Coast plays with the added incentive of revenge here as well after falling 61-59 to Austin Peay as a 4.5-point favorite back on January 5th. That's also important to note here, as the Eagles have seen the total go UNDER the number in five of their last seven in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference loss against an opponent. Look for this final game of the regular season to be a wide open one, and as a result, expect this total to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-23-23 | Louisiana Tech v. Western Kentucky UNDER 144 | Top | 66-76 | Win | 100 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Louisiana Tech/WKU. Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening. Louisiana Tech is 13-14, including just 4-9 on the road, while WKU is 14-13 overall, including 8-4 at home. The Bulldogs have lost four straight and they've seen the total go OVER in three straight. Note though that Louisiana Tech has see the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. The last time these teams played against each other was at WKU, and the Hilltoppers would finally pull away for an 84-74 OT win on January 19th, covering the four-point spread, and the total blastig past the posted number of 141.5. Note as well that WKU has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss against an opponent. WKU has actually seen the total go OVER the number in five straight. It's lost back-to-back high-scoring and tight road games. Now back home, I look for WKU to double down on the defensive end. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-22-23 | Maine +2.5 v. New Hampshire | Top | 62-74 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
This is a 10* MID-MAJOR MAULING on Maine. Neither team has been great this year. Maine is 11-15, and New Hampshire is 12-13. Both have been better at home than on the road, but on January 11th, New Hampshire upset Maine on the road by a score of 71-58 as a four-point dog. Note though that the Black Bears 7-3 ATS in their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss as a favorite to an opponent. Maine is also 4-1 ATS in its last five after three or more straight ATS losses in a row, as despite a 74-72 outright win over Albany last time out, the Bears have indeed dropped three straight ATS right now. While the outright is a possibility, my official call will be to grab as many points as you can with MAINE. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-22-23 | UMass Lowell v. Maryland-Baltimore County +2.5 | Top | 75-70 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
This is a 10* A.E. GOM om UMBC. This one sets up great for the home side. UMass is 22-7 this year, but just a pedestrian 8-7 on the road. UMBC is 17-12 overall this season, but 13-2 in front of the home town crowd. This is a revenge game for UMBC, which fell 81-75 at UMass as a four-point dog back in mid January. Note though that the Retreivers are 5-1 ATS in their last six in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss against an opponent. The outright win is possible, but let's grab the points with UMBC. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-21-23 | Akron v. Toledo UNDER 149 | Top | 63-84 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Toledo/Akron. Two of the best in the conference duke it out here, but instead of a high-scoring shootout, I believe that this one sets up to be a very defensive affair. Akron is 19-8, but just 5-4 on the road. Akron is 21-6, including 11-1 at home. The Zips have seen the total go OVER in three of their last four, but note that they play with revenge here after an 84-74 loss at home to the Rockets as two-point favorites at the start of February. Akron though has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent in which it was the favorite. Toledo has won 11 in a row. It's seen the total go OVER in three straight, which is significant to note here, as the Rockets have seen the total go UNDER in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Expect the rematch between these two conference heavyweights to be a very defensive affair. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-21-23 | Central Michigan v. Buffalo -11.5 | Top | 35-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show |
This is a 10* ULTIMATE REVENGE BLOOD-BATH on Buffalo. This particular play is indeed based entirely around the "revenge" factor. CMU is 10-17, including just 3-10 on the road, while Buffalo is 12-15 overall, but 9-4 at home. The Bulls play with revenge after falling 87-78 in OT at CMU in mid-January. Note that Buffalo is a near-perfect 4-1 ATS in its last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference loss in which it was the favorite vs. an opponent. Revenge is a dish best served "cold," they say, and I hear that it's FREEZING in Buffalo tonight. Lay the points, the play is the BULLS. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-20-23 | Cal-Irvine v. Cal Poly +10.5 | Top | 59-56 | Win | 100 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG WEST GAME OF THE YEAR on Cal Poly Slo. UC Irvine is currently No. 1 in the Big West, but I think it'll get caught "looking past" its lowly opponent today, leaving the back door wide open for a solid cover for Cal Poly Slo, which is currently 11th in the Conference. The Mustangs play with revenge here after a tight 55-54 loss at UC Irvine two weeks ago. The Anteaters easily covered with the 13.5 points in that one, and I'm expecting a similar "gutty" performance here now at home as well from Cal Poly Slo. I think this one'll be much tighter than what this spread is suggesting. Grab the points, the play is CAL POLY SLO. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-20-23 | Hawaii v. CS Bakersfield UNDER 122.5 | 61-50 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
This is an 8 MID-MAJOR BLOWOUT on the UNDER Hawaii/CSU Bakersfield. The last time these teams played against each other, the total went OVER the number, but I'm expecting more of a defensive battle this time around. Hawaii beat CSU Bakersfield by a score of 72-69 as a 16-point favorite at home back in January. The total went OVER the number of 119.5 in that one. Note though that CSU Bakersfield has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in tryihng to avenge a conference road loss against an opponent. The Roadrunners have actually see the total go OVER the number in nine straight now. That's only helped in driving this particular total a few points higher than it normally would/should be though. Look for a very defensive, lower-scoring UNDER in this one. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-19-23 | Belmont v. Drake UNDER 145.5 | Top | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Belmont/Drake. Two of the best in the conference go head to head here in this Missouri Valley matchup, and in my opinion, all signs point to more of a defensive battle than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. Belmont is 19-9, including just 6-6 on the road though, while Drake is 22-6, including 12-1 at home. Belmont plays with revenge here after falling 79-61 at home to the Bulldogs back on January 29th, but note that the Bruis have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in four of their last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss against an opponent. Drake has won eight in a row. It's now seen the total go OVER in six straight. But note that the Bulldogs have still seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row. Expect this highly-competitive battle to be a defensive one. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-19-23 | East Carolina v. SMU UNDER 143 | 70-86 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* TOTAL SPECIAL on the UNDER ECU/SMU. Neither team is very good, and I'm expecting that a combination of ineptitude and aggressive defensive play will lead to this total staying UNDER the posted number. ECU is 13-12, but just 1-6 on the road. It averages only 69.8 PPG, while allowing 70.2. The Pirates have seen the total go OVER the number in four of their last five, and while their last game vs. SMU did fly OVER the number in their 77-72 upset home victory as two-point dogs back on February 4th, I expect a much tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring contest in the rematch. Note that SMU has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference road loss as a favorite against an opponet. SMU has seen the total go OVER the number in eight of its last nine, including four straight. Off back-to-back high-scoring losses, I look for the Mustangs, who are just 9-18 overall and only 6-8 at home, to double down on the defensive end this evening. In my estimation, this total is a little high. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-18-23 | Western Kentucky v. Rice UNDER 153 | Top | 77-83 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 60 m | Show |
This is a 10* CONFERENCE USA TOY on the UNDER WKU/Rice. Everything points to this one being a much more defensive affair than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. WKU is 14-12, including only 4-7 on the road. It's three-game win streak was snapped in a 68-64 OT loss at Charlotte last time out. The Hilltoppers have seen the total go OVER the number in four straight, but note that they've seen the total go UNDER in five of their last seven after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. They play with revenge here as well after falling 81-78 to Rice as six-point favorites on December 29th, and that's significant to note here, as WKU has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last six in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite vs. an opponent. Rice has seen the total go OVER in five straight, but note that the Owls have seen the total go UNDER in eight of their last 11 after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row. Expect a hard-fought and competitive game, but one that falls UNDER the number once it's all said and done. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-17-23 | Abilene Christian v. Grand Canyon UNDER 143.5 | Top | 84-94 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 5 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the UNDER Albilene Christian/Grand Canyon. Both teams have been involved in several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect those trends to end here. These teams have played each a total of three times, and Grand Canyon is 3-0. That includes a 75-73 win back in January. Note though that Albilen Christian has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five in trying to avenge a conference loss vs. an opponent. The Wildcats average 70.4 PPG, while the Antelopes average 70.2. I don't see either team reaching its offensive average here though in the rematch. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-15-23 | Alabama v. Tennessee -2.5 | Top | 59-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* SEC GOM on Tennessee. I think that this is one favors No. 10 Tennessee at home. Alabama is No. 1 and it's led by Brandon Miller. The Tide are 22-3 and 12-0 in SEC action. They won for the 12th time in their last 13 games in a 77-69 victory at Auburn on Saturday. Miller leads the way most nights for the Tide with 18.8 points and 8.2 boards per game, but he saw his streak of 15 straight games in which he made a 3-pointer come to an end last time out. Alabama is winning despite not getting the best play out of its best player. Tennessee has taken a bit of a step back of late, but that fact only adds fuel to the fire for a better performance here. The Volunteers are still 19-6 overall this year and 8-4 in league play, but clearly the Vols are going to be eager to get back on track after back-to-back one-point losses. First losing 66-65 at Vanderbilt, before dropping an 86-85 contest to Missouri on Saturday. Tennessee did overcome a 17-point second half deficit in the latest loss and while the Volunteers did come up short, I think they can keep that momentum rolling here to open up this game as well. These teams haven't played since 2021 and Alabama won that one by a score of 73-68. It's a bit of a revenge game here for Tennessee. The Vols are the more motivated team after back-to-back one point heartbreakers, and they're playing at home. Give me the VOLUNTEERS to cover this manageable spread. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-13-23 | Delaware State v. Norfolk State UNDER 140.5 | Top | 58-97 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
This is a 10* MEAC TOY on the UNDER Delaware State/Norfolk. As primarily a "situational" handicapper, I think this one really does set up well to be a lower-scoring defensive battle. These teams have been playing to so many OVERS of late, that this O/U line is now a few points higher than it normally would/should be. Norfolk has seen the total go OVER the number in eight straight games. That run of OVERS started with a 78-65 win over Delaware State. Note that the Hornets have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. The Hornets only average 64.7 PPG, so the last thing they can do is turn this into a "shootout" in their revenge bid this evening. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-13-23 | Miami-FL v. North Carolina -4.5 | Top | 80-72 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* ACC GOY on UNC. Miami is 20-5, and UNC is 16-9. The Hurricanes one weakness this season has been their play on the road, where they're a pedestrian 5-4 so far. The Tar Heels have not lived up to their lofty expectations before the season started, but they've consistently been at their best in front of the home town crowd with an 11-1 record. Miami has won four straight, but note that the Hurricanes are just 3-6 in their last nine after three or more straight SU wins in a row. The Tar Heels are the hungrier team here after snapping a three-game skid with a convincing win over Clemson. Miami doesn't matchup well against UNC big man Armando Bacot. The Hurricanes only rank 126th in defensive efficiency. Look for UNC to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish and to pull away for the comfortable win and cover once the final horn blares. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-12-23 | Youngstown State v. Cleveland State +2.5 | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
This is an 8* WALLET-EXPANDER on Cleveland State. The outright win is definitely in the cards, but in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can. Youngstown State is 20-6, most recently coming off an 81-72 road win over Purdue Fort Wayne. Cleveland State is 15-11 and coming off an inspiring 57-55 home win over Robert Morris. The Penguins average 83.5 PPG, while allowing 72.7. The Vikings are averaging 70.4 PPG, while allowing just 67.2. The Vikings also rank 29th in the country in offensive rebounds, with 10.7 per game. The Penguins rank 193rd, with 8.3. The home team has covered in five of the last seven between these teams and I expect that strong trend to continue here. Grab the points, the play is CLEVELAND STATE. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-11-23 | Grand Canyon v. Seattle University UNDER 140.5 | Top | 58-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
This is a 10* WAC TOY on the UNDER Grand Canyon/Seattle. Sets up really well from a number of different angles to bea lower-scoring battle. Grand Canyon is 16-8, but it's just 3-4 on the road. It's played to TEN STRAIGHT "overs" and I believe that's definitely helped in driving tonight's O/U line with Seattle a few points higher than it normally would/should be. The Antelopes beat Seattle 78-66 earlier in the season, and the total went OVER the number of 139.5 in that one. Note though that Seattle (17-8, 10-1), has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. This number is high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-11-23 | Princeton v. Dartmouth +8 | Top | 76-83 | Win | 100 | 5 h 35 m | Show |
This is a 10* IVY LEAGUE GOY on Dartmouth. Princeton is a bit over-priced here. I think that it stumbles here on the road just enough to allow the hungry home side to comfortably cover with the healthy spread that it's been afforded in this one. The Tigers are off back-to-back SU/ATS home wins, but in their last road game they fell 87-65 at Yale as three-point underdogs. I like Big Green here. They're coming off two straight SU/ATS home losses, but when they played at Princeton on January 21st, they lost 93-90 in OT as 12-point underdogs. I think the stage is now set for a very tight battle. I'm not calling for the outright, but I expect this one to come "down to the wire." Grab the points, the play is DARTMOUTH. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-11-23 | Penn State +8.5 v. Maryland | Top | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 3 h 3 m | Show |
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on Penn State. Penn State won't be going down without a fight here today. The Nittany Lions are a thorn in everyone's side this year in the Big Ten, as you can't let your guard down with this deep team. Penn State has an extremely efficient offense, that averages 115.4 points per 100 possessions. Maryland WAS riding a four-game win streak before a 63-58 loss to the Spartans. I say the Terps are vulnerable here, and while I won't call for the outright, I'm indeed expecting an all out battle until the final horn. Grab the points, the play is PENN STATE. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-10-23 | Akron v. Ohio UNDER 142 | Top | 81-90 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* MAC TOM on the UNDER Akron/Ohio. Both sides have been playing to several higher-scoring contests of late, but everything points to a very defensive affair here tonight finally in my opinion. Akron is 17-7 overall, but just 4-3 on the road. Ohio is only 13-11 overall, but it's 10-1 at home. Akron is off an 84-74 loss to Toledo as a two-point fav. Note though that the Zips have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten off an upset home loss as a favorite. Ohio has now won back-to-back games. It's seen the total go OVER the number in six of its last seven. Four of their last five vs. each other have gone OVER the number, but I expect this to be a competitive affair, and a much tighter and more defensive one finally than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. This number is high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-10-23 | Iona v. Canisius +12 | Top | 80-59 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 42 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on Canisius. I'm not predicting an outright win, but I think that 16-7 Iona comes in a bit complacent here, and the revenge-minded home side keeps it close down the stretch. Iona comes in off three straight wins, most recently a 70-61 road victory at Fairfield as a seven-point favorite. Now it's a double-digit favorite, and I just think this spread has ballooned a few points higher than it normally would/should be. Canisius is off five straight losses, but note that the Golden Griffins are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after five or more SU losses in a row. And as I mentioned, they play with revenge here as well after a 90-60 loss at Iona earlier in the season, and note that Canisius is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. With a much more high-profile game at 13-9 Niagara in two nights, this also sets up as a look-ahead spot for the visiting side. No outright, but MUCH closer than expected. Grab the points, the play is CANISIUS. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-09-23 | Tenn-Martin v. Eastern Illinois UNDER 149.5 | Top | 75-77 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 10* OHIO VALLEY TOY on the UNDER Tennessee Martin/Eastern Illinois. Situationally, this one definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair here between these usually high-scoring offensive clubs. Tennessee Martin is 15-10 overall this year, but just 3-9 on the road. It's seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, which is significant to note here, as the Skyhawks have in fact seen the total go UNDER in five of their last six after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Tennessee Martin beat Eastern Illinois by a score of 91-78 in January, and the total blasted past the posted number of 142 in that one. Today's total is much higher, and it's a clear over-reaction in my opinion, as additionally hnote that the Panthers have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent. Look for this to be a much more defensive affair than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-08-23 | Bryant v. Albany +9 | Top | 87-62 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
This is a 10* AMERICA EAST GOY on Albany. Bryant is 15-8, but just 5-5 on the road. It's coming off back-to-back home victories, but in its last road game it fell 84-67 at Binghamton as a 7.5 point favorite. I just don't trust the Bulldogs on the road. Albany is only 6-19, but it's 3-5 at home. It plays with revenge here after falling 86-69 at Bryant back in January. The Great Danes have lost seven straight, both SU and ATS, but that fact has only helped in bumping up their spread a few points higher than it normally would/should be. And note, Albany is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. No outright, but expect this one to come "down to the wire." The play is ALBANY. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-07-23 | Drake v. Murray State UNDER 140.5 | Top | 92-68 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
This is a 10* MISSOURI VALLEY TOY on the UNDER Drake/Murray State. Murray State is 13-11, and Drake is 19-6. Murray State has seen the total go OVER the number in nine straight, but that fact has only helped in driving this total with Drake a few points higher than it normally would/should be. Note that the Racers are off a humbling 99-56 loss at Indiana State as seven-point dogs. That's important for us to note, as Murray State has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 off a SU/ATS road loss in which it was held to 59 or fewer points in. Drake has won five straight. It's gone to OT in each of its last two games and won and covered in each. It's seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, but note that the Bulldogs have seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Expect a highly competitive, but lower-scoring UNDER in this one. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-06-23 | Texas +4 v. Kansas | 80-88 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER Texas. Kansas has played a tough schedule, but it's lost four of its last six games. The Longhorns have struggled in Lawrence over the years, but here's the perfect moment to pull off an upset. The Longhorns already have conference road wins over K-State, WVU, Oklahoma and OKS. They average 79.9 PPG (No. 1 in the conference), and they have the best scoring margin at +11.8 PPG. The outright is possible, but grab the points with TEXAS. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-06-23 | Florida A&M v. Prairie View A&M -10 | Top | 45-75 | Win | 100 | 12 h 48 m | Show |
This is a 10* SWAC GOM on Prairie View A&M. Two poor teams, but I say that home floor advantage turns out to be the difference-maker. Florida A&M is just 5-15, while Prairie View A&M is 8-15. The Panthers have the best defense in the conference, and I don't trust A&M's offense to produce anything on the road. This line should in fact be larger. The play is PRAIRIE VIEW A&M. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-05-23 | Penn State v. Nebraska +5 | Top | 63-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG TEN GOY on Nebraska. Penn State is 14-8, but only 1-5 on the road. Nebraska is only 10-13, but it's 7-3 at home. The Huskers play with revenge here after falling 76-65 at Penn State as eight-point dogs back in January. Note that Nebraska is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS loss against an opponent. The play is NEBRASKA. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-05-23 | Wichita State v. Tulsa +6 | Top | 86-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
This is a 10* REVENGE BK on Tulsa. I think an outright is possible, but I'll suggest grabbing the points. This is indeed a "revenge" game for Tulsa, which fell 73-69 at Wichita State on January 14th. It was an "easy" cover for the Golden Hurricane, who had ten-points afforded to them. Wichita State has had success for bettors on the road this season, but I expect that streak to come to an end here with a date at UCF up next after this to look ahead to. Grab the points, the play is TULSA. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-04-23 | St Francis PA +3.5 v. Merrimack | Top | 66-70 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
This is a 10* NORTHEAST GOY on St. Francis PA. In a contest that I see being decided by whichever of these teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. St. Francis PA is only 8-14, including just 1-11 on the road. The good news though is that Merrimack is just 8-16 this season, including only 4-6 at home. The Red Flash have lost three straight, both SU and ATS, and that's important to note in our case here, as St. Francis PA is in fact 7-2 ATS in its last nine after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. When these teams last played last season, Merrimack scored the 65-64 road win. We can absolutely expect another competitive "nail-biter" here as well. Merrimack only averages 58.9 PPG, while St. Francis PA averages 73.3. The difference comes on the defensive end obviously, but that said, the Red Flash catch a big break today on that end of the court. I do think an outright win is possible, but in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can with ST. FRANCIS PA. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-03-23 | VCU v. St. Louis OVER 141 | Top | 73-65 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 24 m | Show |
This is an A-10 TOY on the OVER VCU/Saint Louis. Both teams have been playing to several UNDERS of late, but I expect those trends to end this evening. VCU is 8-2 in its last ten, but it's coming off three straight UNDERs (which is actually very signficant for us to note here, as the Rams have seen the total go OVER the number in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight UNDERs in a row), while Saint Louis is 7-3 in its last ten, and it's seen the total go UNDER the number in two straight. This is the first matchup of the season between the teams, but last March Saint Louis won by a score of 69-65. We can expect a much faster pace here though between two of the top in the Conference. VCU averages 70.4 PPG, while Saint Louis averages 76.2. Look for the tempo of this one to help in pushing this total OVER the number sooner, rather than later. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-02-23 | North Florida +7.5 v. Jacksonville | Top | 76-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
This is a 10* ASUN GOY on North Florida. This the opener of a home and home set for North Florida and Jacksonville. While I'm stopping short in calling for an outright upset, I do believe that this contest will come "down to the wire." North Florida has lost three straight both SU and ATS. Note though that it's 7-2 ATS in its lasrt nine after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. The Ospreys average 75 PPG, while the Dolphins average 65. Jacksonville makes up for it on the other end, allowing just 62.2 PPG. Jacksonville has been trading ATS wins and losses over its last ten games though, and after a 74-64 win over Central Arkansas last time out, I believe this strong pattern continues here. This is a bit of TRAP game for the home side. Grab the points, the play is NORTH FLORIDA. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-02-23 | High Point +8.5 v. North Carolina-Asheville | Top | 63-89 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG SOUTH GOM on High Point. I'm not calling for the outright win, but I think this sets up well for the revenge-minded High Point Panthers, who lost to UNC Asheville 76-72 at home as two-point favorites back on January 4th. Note that High Point is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent. The Panthers are bad, but they're a bit undervalued here after three straight SU/ATS losses in a row. Note though that High Point is also 6-2 ATS in is last eight after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. UNCA is 8-0 SU its last eight, but this is a few too many points to be giving up here in my opinion. I say these teams play to another competitive and tight battle here as well. Grab the points, the play is HIGH POINT. Good luck, NP | |||||||
02-01-23 | Samford -4.5 v. Western Carolina | Top | 85-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
This is a 10* SOUTHERN GOY on Samford. I think Samford should be a bigger favorite in this matchup. It's 14-9 overall, while Western Carolina is 12-11. The Bulldogs are tough on both ends of the court, averaging 78.3 PPG, while allowing 71. The Catamounts have been decent as well, averaging 74.7 PPG, and conceding 69.2. The favorite is 7-3-1 ATS the last 11 in this series. Samford is 0-3 ATS in its last three, but that's signficant to note as well, as the Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last five after three or more straight ATS setbacks in a row. Samford is the better team, and it won't be looking past the Catamounts. I expect the Bulldogs to keep the foot on the gas until the final buzzer sounds. Lay the points, the play is SAMFORD. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-31-23 | Ball State v. Bowling Green UNDER 152 | Top | 69-60 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 10* MAC TOY on the UNDER Ball State/Bowling Green. Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I finally expect those trends to end this evening. Ball State is 14-7, but just 4-4 on the road. It's comig off an 87-69 wi over NIU. It's seen the total go OVER the number in three straight, but note that the Cardinals have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Ball State averages 75.6 PPG, while Bowling Green averages 78.1. The Green Falcons are off a 91-77 home loss to Toledo, which is significant for us to take note of, as BG has seen the total go UNDER the number in ten of its last 14 off a SU/ATS loss in which it allowed 90 or more points in. Expect the 10-11 home side to double down defensively today in trying to pull off the SU upset. This number is a little high, the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-30-23 | Jackson State +8 v. Southern | Top | 62-73 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
This is a 10* SWAC GOY on Jackson State. I'm not calling for an outright, but in a game that I see being decided by whichever team has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points. The Tigers are just 6-15, while the Jaguars are 10-10. So far Jackson State is averaging 6l6 PPG, while allowing 76.5. Despite going 2-1 SU in its last three, it's 0-3 ATS, which is signficant to note here as the Tigers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight after three or more ATS losses in a row. Southern averages 75.3 PPG, while allowing 73.1. The Jaguars have been ATS covering "machines" of late, but I think this spread is now a little inflated. NOte that they are in fact just 2-6 ATS in their last eight after three or more ATS victories in a row. I expect a very competitive battle until the final moments, so I'm grabbing the points. The play is JACKSON STATE. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-29-23 | South Florida v. SMU UNDER 146.5 | Top | 80-82 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
This is a 10* AAC TOY on the UNDER USF/SMU. As primiarly a situational handicapper at heart, these are the types of games that I wait for to come along each season. This one ticks all the boxes for me. Both teams need a win. USF is just 9-12, and SMU is just 7-14. Look for this competitiveness to translate into a tight, defensive affair here. USF has now seen the total go OVER the number in nine of its last ten, including six straight after a 79-76 OT loss at Temple. That's significant to note here though, as the Bulls have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 12 still after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row. SMU has played to three straight OVERS, and that's also important for us to take note of, as the Mustangs have seen the total go UNDER the number in four of their last five after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. This O/U line is now inflated a few points higher than it normally would/should be. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-28-23 | UAB -3.5 v. Rice | 70-52 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
This is an 8* MONEY-BOMB on UAB. UAB is 14-7, but just 1-4 on the road. Rice is 15-5, and it's 10-2 at home. Despite that, I think that the Blazers are undervalued here. UAB has lost nine of ten ATS. That's skewed this line here finally in my opinion. The Blazers average 82.6 PPG, while allowing 71.3, while th eOwls average 80.7, while conceding 73.1. The favorite is 4-1 ATS the last five in this series, and I look for that near-perfect streak to continue. The play is UAB. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-28-23 | Maryland-Baltimore County +8.5 v. Vermont | Top | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 4 h 40 m | Show |
This is a 10* AE GOM on UMBC. UMBC has been trading ATS wins and losses for seven straight games, and off a 69-65 upset loss at NJIT last time out, I belive this pattern continues. NOte that UMBC is 3-1 ATS in its last four off an upset loss as a favorite. It's also 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent, which occured on January 1st, falling 74-61 to Vermont as a two-point home dog. Vermont is off three straight SU/ATS victories, which is significant to note here, as it's just 2-6 ATS in its last eight after three or more SU victories in a row. Despite Vermont's home record, I say this one favors the visitors. The play is UMBC. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-27-23 | Oakland v. Youngstown State UNDER 154.5 | Top | 73-77 | Win | 100 | 14 h 44 m | Show |
This is a 10* HORIZON LEAGUE TOTAL OF YEAR on the UNDER Oakland/Youngstown State. This one sets up to be a defensive affair from a situational stand point, but it's also backed by a couple of strong and relative O/U trends. Oakland is in need of wins as it comes to town 9-12. Youngstown State is 15-6. These teams played two weeks ago and the Penguins won by a score of 85-69 at Oakland, the total going OVER the number of 151.5 in that one. Tonight's total is a couple points higher, and now it's a little too high. Nte that Oakland has seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS home loss against an opponent. Youngstown State is one of the highest scoring teams in the country, but after its five-game win streak was snapped in an 88-75 loss to Milwaukee, I'm expecting it to come out more focussed on the defensive end this evening vs. the offensively challenged Grizzlies. Note as well that the Penguins have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 12 after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row. Expect a much tigher, and more defensive battle than what we saw between these schools in Oakland. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-26-23 | Arizona State v. Washington UNDER 145 | Top | 66-69 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show |
This is a 10* PAC 12 TOY on the UNDER ASU/Washington. This one sets up great to be a lower-scoring game from situational and trends based reasons. ASU has seen the total go OVER the number in six straight now after its most recent 77-69 loss to USC, but that's significant for us to note, as the Sun Devils have seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight after playing to five or more straight OVERS in a row. ASU beat Washington 73-65 at home as a 9-point favorite back on January 8th, and that total went OVER the number of 137.5 in that one. Tonight's total is a few points higher, and now just TOO high in my opinion. Note that the Huskies have seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a road loss against an opponent. After playing to five straight OVERS themselves, I think tonight's total is indeed now inflated. Look for a hard-fought conference battle, but expect this competitive atmosphere to finally produce a lower-scoring UNDER in the end. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-25-23 | Utah State +7.5 v. San Diego State | Top | 75-85 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 37 m | Show |
This is a 10* MOUNTAIN WEST GOM on Utah State. Utah State will carry over its recent momentum here in my opinion after winning two straight. It's 16-4 overall and 5-2 in the MWM. SDSU has also won two in a row. The Aztecs are 8-1 in their last nine. In the Aggies most recent win, they came back from a seven-point half-time deficit to beat SJSU by a score of 75-74. In the end the Aggies would shoot 53.8 percent from the floor. Overall the Aggies average 80.6 PPG, while allowing 71.2. It's 3-2 on the road. SDSU is off a 70-60 win over Air Force, although the Aztecs shot only 42.6 percent from the floor. SDSU averages 75.1 PPG, while allowing 66.3. The Aztecs are 9-1 at home. I like UTAH STATE here, and I look for the Aggies superior offense to be the difference in the end. The play is UTAH STATE. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-24-23 | Bowling Green v. Central Michigan UNDER 148 | Top | 83-61 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER BG/CMU. Neither team is having a great season. CMU is 7-12 overall and 2-4 in league play. It's coming off a 96-68 loss at Ohio, but note that it's seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five off a SU/ATS loss in which it allowed 95 or more points in. BG is 9-10 and 3-3 in MAC action. It just broke a three-game slide with an 83-73 win at home over Miami Ohio. Central Michigan only averages 67.4 PPG. It plays at one of the slowest paces in the nation. Because it's at home here, we can expect it to set the tone. Bowling Green averages 77.9 PPG, but I don't see the visitors coming to close to reaching their offensive average tonight. This is a game that both teams will believe that it can win. Expect this competitive battle to be a tighter, lower-scoring one though. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-23-23 | Chicago State v. Coastal Carolina UNDER 144.5 | Top | 74-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show |
This is a 10* NON-CONF TOW on the UNDER Chicago State/CC. Chicago State is just 4-16. That includes going 0-16 SU on the road. Despite having seen the total go OVER in three straight, note that Chicago State still only averages 66.8 PPG. Also note that it's in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row. Coastal Carolina is 2-1 over its last three games, and it's also seen the total go OVER the number in three straight. That includes in back-to-back OT contets. Suffice it to say, I'm not expecting another OT contest here. I'm not laying the points, but everything points to this O/U line being a few points higher than it should be. The play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-22-23 | Marist v. Mt. St. Mary's -3 | Top | 55-59 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on Mount St. Mary's. As primarily a "situational" handicapper, I like the way this one sets up for Mount St. Mary's. Both teams have struggled on both sides of the ball, but the home-court advantage, coupled with the immediate "revenge factor" makes the home side the correct call here. Marist did indeed beat Mount St. Mary's at home by a score of 63-56 as a 1-point favorite at the start of January. Note that Mount St. Mary's is 7-2-1 ATS in its last ten in trying to avenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent. Look for the home side to use the revenge angle as motivation today and lay the points with confidence. The play is on MOUNT ST. MARY'S. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-21-23 | CS-Fullerton v. CS-Northridge OVER 126.5 | Top | 66-69 | Win | 100 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* BIG WEST TOY on the OVER CSU Fullerton/CSU Northridge. This big play is for the most part a great "situational" selection. CSU Fullerton is 10-10, but just 2-7 on the road. It's coming off a 72-67 loss to LBSU. It averages just 69.8 PPG, but note that it had seen the total go OVER the number in two straight previous to that. Fullerton catches a break here facing CSU Northridge's defense today as well. the Matadors are struggling on both ends of the court this season at 3-16. They're 3-5 at home though. They only average 63.7 PPG. They're coming off a 72-52 loss at UC Santa Barbara, but that's significant to note here though as the Matadors have seen the total go UNDER the number in five of their last six after a SU/ATS loss of 20 or more points. The overall situation, combined with the above trend do indeed tip the scales in favor of a faster-paced, and higher-scoring affair here between these two hungry teams. This number is low, the play is the OVER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-21-23 | Florida v. Mississippi State -2 | Top | 61-59 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* SEC GOY on Mississippi State. The Gators are 10-8 SU, and they're coming off a 54-52 road loss to Texas A&M. The Bulldogs are 12-6, but just 1-5 in league action. They're coming off a 70-59 home loss to Tennessee. Neither team can be happy about its recent performance, but I say that home floor advantage ultimately turns out to be the difference-maker in this one. The Gators average 65.1 PPG, and allow 70.7, while the Bulldogs average 65.3 PPG, while conceding only 58.2. Florida can't be trusted on the road whatsoever. Look for the hungry home side to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish. The play is MISSISSIPPI STATE. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-20-23 | Villanova +4.5 v. St. John's | Top | 57-49 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on Villanova. I always take "revenge" into account. It's a powerful motivating factor that teams can use to their advantage. That factor at times though can certainly be "overrated," and this is one of those cases in my opinion. Villanova is 9-10, but it just broke a three-game slide with a 77-73 home win over Georgetown. It's lost four straight ATS. It beat the Red Storm 78-63 at home back on December 21st, and while I am expecting a tighter game here, really I just think that this is a good matchup for the Wildcats once again. The Red Storm are 2-1 in their last three and 3-0 ATS. They're off an epic 85-74 win at UConn as 14.5-point underdogs, and I say a predictable letdown here is absolutely in order. Look for the underachieving visiting side to, at the very least, keep this one close enough to comfortably earn the ATS cover. The play is VILLANOVA. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-18-23 | Lafayette v. American -5.5 | Top | 70-59 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
This is a 10* MID-MAJOR MAULING on American. The Lafayette Leopards are 4-14 and the American Eagles are 12-5. Lafayette is just 5-14 SU, including only 2-10 on the road. However it's been a popular pick among bettors, going 12-6-1 ATS overall, including 9-3 ATS on the road. American is 12-5 this year, including 5-1 SU at home. It's five-game win streak was just snapped in a 78-62 road loss as a 2.5-point favorite at LeHigh last time out. With that awkward game out of the way though, I think it rebounds here in this favorable spot. Lafayette is off three straight victories, and four straight ATS covers, but it's in the wrong place, at the wrong time today. Lay the points, the play is AMERICAN. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-17-23 | Wyoming +4.5 v. Air Force | Top | 74-82 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
This is a 10* UNDERDOG BLOWOUT on Wyoming. Despite being just 5-12 overall, and 0-2 on the road, I like the Cowboys to, at the very least, keep this one close enough to cover with the handful of points they've been afforded. After losing seven straight, Wyoming comes in undervalued here finally. Most recently they lost 85-68 to Boise State. The Falcons are 11-7 and are now on a two-game win streak after an upset 51-48 road win over Fresno State last time out. I think Air Force gets caught looking past the hungry Cowboys to its matchup with SDSU this weekend. Wyoming averages 70.5 PPG, while allowing 71.4. Air Force averages 58.7 PPG, while allowing 63.6. The Falcons though are just 1-4 ATS in their last five off a SU/ATS road win as an underdog in which they held their opponent to 49 or fewer points in. The Cowboys' defense finally catches a break today. Look for WYOMING to deliver the goods here on Tuesday night. Good luck, NP | |||||||
01-17-23 | Alabama v. Vanderbilt UNDER 155.5 | Top | 78-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
This is a 10* SEC TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the UNDER Alabama/Vandy. Alabama is one of the best teams in the country at 15-2, while Vanderbilt enters at 9-8. Alabama's only two losses have come to UConn and Gonzaga. How will the news of Darius Miles being charged with murder affect the team though? Vanderbilt finished 9-16 two years ago, and last year finished 19-17. The Commodores have had a very "easy" schedule to this point though, not playing any ranked teams during their non-conference portion. Vanderbilt has struggled defensively at times, and that's why this Over/Under line is so high today. But look for Alabama to go up early, and then tighten things up in the second half. This number is now a little too high, so the play is the UNDER. Good luck, NP | |||||||
04-04-16 | Villanova v. North Carolina -2.5 | 77-74 | Loss | -108 | 18 h 14 m | Show | |
The Villanova Wildcats put up 77.9 points on 47.8 percent shooting and give up 63.8 points on 40.4 percent shooting. Josh Hart leads the offense with 15.4 points and 6.8 rebounds and Kris Jenkins adds 13.5 points and 2.2 assists. They shoot 35.6 percent from deep and 77.9 percent from the line.
