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: 47-35-4
1/4 Three Ball:
Southern Illinois +11
Indiana -2.5 1H / -4.5
Oklahoma State +2.5
————————————
Southern Illinois +11: This is a back-to-back system play with some help from a few key nuggets. The Salukis were competitive in this game until the 10 minute mark in the 2nd half, and then the wheels fell off. They scored 6 points in those final 10 minutes. That just will not happen again tonight. Also, Drake is a perfect 10-0 against the spread. If you don’t think Vegas is noticing, think again. This will be a closer affair.
Score Prediction: Drake 70 – Southern Illinois 64
Indiana -2.5 1H / -4.5 : I want both sides of this Indiana match-up with Maryland. This game is being played at Assembly Hall, and the Hoosiers have shot exponentially better in home games in the past few seasons. Morsell’s absence will hurt their three point line / on the ball defending against Durham and Franklin. He is also the heart and soul of the team as a senior leader. They will greatly miss him. As always, Jackson-Davis will eat. Hoosiers wire-wire.
Score Prediction: Indiana 72 – Maryland 65
Oklahoma State +2.5: West Virginia is just lost right now. They have showed up flat in three consecutive games, and they have gone 1-2 in that time span )with the lone win against Northeastern). To add insult to injury, Oscar Tshiebwe has left the team for the foreseeable future. Culver is a monster, but that frontcourt takes a huge hit when Oscar is unavailable. I like the Cowboys guard play to outmatch the Mountaineers in Stillwater. Also, every game means a little more to them without the opportunity for postseason play. Their record will be the only thing they will have to show for this season. The Cowboys get a nice home win over Huggie Bear.
Score Prediction: Oklahoma State 73 – WVU 70
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
