I will do my best to provide a daily three ball of picks for all of you snipers out there. The goal is a 2-1 night, with some 3-0’s sprinkled occasionally. I recommend you play them individually .. however, never be scared of a little three ball parlay!
Season Record: 8-4-1
12/13 Three Ball (four point play!):
WKU -2
UMass -3
Richmond +8
Penn State +7
———————————–
WKU -2 : Charles. Bassey. He has already me nice money at the Bad Boy Mowers Classic this season, and we are going back to the well. URI does not have much down low to stop him. He will go for 25 and 15 in this match-up easily, and probably more. Also, I love the defensive match-up that the Hilltoppers will bring to Fatts Russell. I am thinking that they will have Taveion Hollingsworth shadowing Fatts, and he is one of the only players in the nation with the speed to keep up with him. Fatts is also pressing this year while shooting a woeful 33% form the field and 25% from 3.
Score Prediction: WKU 78 – URI 71
UMass -3 : I am assuming Vegas loves the team that lost in a back-to-back match-up spot between conference rivals, but I am taking the bait. We won big on the Minutemen on Friday against Northeastern, and we are going to do it again on Sunday. Tre Mitchell will start to earn national respect with another dominant performance.
Score Prediction: UMass 84 – Northeastern 77
Richmond +8: This number is too high. Vegas is continuing to disrespect the Richmond Spiders, and we will continue to make money off of it. The current Mountaineer team is not well-rounded enough to beat a good team by a sizable margin. They are shooting 39.9% from the field and 31.1% from 3 point land. Yes, the Mountaineers will own the glass per usual, but Richmond has high IQ bigs that will draw smart fouls against Tshiebwe and Culver. Richmond’s guard play keeps it close, and they could win it at the end.
Score Prediction: WVU 74 – Richmond 72
Penn State +7
After Penn State burned me with their 20 point meltdown against Seton Hall, I had labeled them a no-touch team for the foreseeable future. However, they have roped me in with a – “hey, you up?” text – type of performance against Va Tech. They were exceptional from the three point line, per usual, and continued to get consistent scoring from 7 deep in the roster. They can score in too many ways to get ran out of the gym at the Crisler Center. Michigan wins this game, but Penn State gets us within the number. If they burn me again ….. I will delete their number and block them …….. I promise ..
Score Prediction: Michigan 81 – Penn State 77
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
