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: 32-21-2
12/29 Three Ball:
Purdue +2
Mercer -2
Alabama -2
————————————
Purdue +2: The Boilermakers are rolling into this match-up after a nice win over Maryland. They should be feeling confident tonight. To add to this mojo, Rutger’s main man, Ron Harper, is out for tonight’s game. That is a MASSIVE blow to a Scarlett Knights team that is already dealing with injury problems. Purdue squeaks out a close one.
Score Prediction: Purdue 69 – Rutgers 65
Mercer -2: This is the game that the Bears get fired up for every season. A match-up with the SoCon kings of the past few seasons, the Wofford Terriers. Mercer actually won both games last season. They take it to a different level. To add to this desire to win, Mercer has Ross Cummings back this season. The all-purpose guard has Mercer out to a 7-1 record this season. The addition of South Carolina transfer, Felipe Haase, has been a major addition down low as well. Mercer wins three in a row in this series.
Score Prediction: Mercer 75 – Wofford 70
Alabama -2: The Tide have had some inspired practices over the last few days following the fight between Petty and Rojas at practice. Nate Oats suggests that this is just what the team needed to get going. The two are both available tonight, and Oats said Petty has looked exceptional in the practices leading up. We will go with the home team here that seems to have a new desire and purpose. Also, I love Alabama’s guard play comparative to Ole Miss.
Score Prediction: Alabama 73 – Ole Miss 67
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
