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: 33-23-2
12/30 Three Ball:
St. Bonaventure +2
UNC / GT over 142
Austin Peay -4.5
————————————
St. Bonaventure +2: The Bonnies are going to win this basketball game. However, if you give me the two points I will take them. Rhode Island just has been a poor basketball team this season. They are running a lazy offense, in which no assists are being accumulated, and also look disinterested on the defensive side of the ball. Losing Langevine, Martin and Dowtin has had more of an impact that some people wanted to believe. On the other side of this game, St. Bonaventure is returning every contributor from last year’s 19-12 team. This includes one of the best big men in the country that you may have never heard of, Osun Osunniyi. He is off to a quick 19.5 & 10 start. URI will also be without Makhi Mitchell down low. One less body to deal with Osun. The Bonnies guards will outscore Fats and his crew. Hopefully, we get the day stared with a cover here!
Score Prediction: St. Bonaventure 74 – URI 70
UNC / GT over 142: I saw this number in the 150-151 range. I will gladly take it at 142. Ga Tech has a top 40 pace in America, and you know Roy and his team will run with anyone. This game will have a nice up and down pace to it. We also have a nice sample size for this one. The match-up last year ended in a 96-83 Yellow Jacket victory at the Dean Dome. Both teams have returned large portions of their core from last season, and this also helps me to believe we will have a fast paced affair. I don’t see either team holding their opponent under 70 points, and it should be a close game. I will personally have a multi-unit play on this game.
Score Prediction: Georgia Tech 78 – UNC 76
Austin Peay -4.5: I hope that many of you grabbed this line when I put it out last night. It is up to -6.5 as of this article, and may climb even higher. This is a slam dunk max play. The Governors found their groove in a 74-70 win over Murray State. Why was this win so important? They got the job done without Jordyn Adams. Other players were able to step-in and be contributors behind the monster that is Terry Taylor. If you do not know Terry Taylor, then please watch the game tonight. He is truly one of the best players in the country. I mean that. I love Peay even without Jordyn Adams, and if he is magically active .. that will just be icing on the cake. Governors by double digits.
Score Prediction: Austin Peay 80 – Tennessee State 67
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
