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: 98-73-5
1/26 Three Ball:
UNC -2.5
SMU +2
Missouri State +4.5
————————————
UNC -2.5 : I think the Tar Heels might just be ready to breakthrough. This will probably not be a 2nd weekend team no matter what, but I think they will solidify their tourney bid in the next couple of weeks. The reason? Guard play is starting to at least be existent. Caleb Love is coming off of his most impressive week as a Tar Heel – earning ACC Freshman of the Week honors. Carolina desperately needs him to score the ball, and not be a walking turnover. He just may have his swagger back. Kerwin Walton has also emerged as a knockdown three point sniper. The Heels should get it done against a thin Pitt lineup.
Score Prediction: UNC 76 – Pitt 70
SMU +2 : I really love the Mustangs. Especially, in this match-up. Memphis is very sloppy with the basketball, and the Mustangs defense will take advantage tonight. SMU has exceptional guard play that focuses on taking care of the ball. They should win the turnover battle by a decent margin. Davis, Bandoumel & McNeil have a combined 10.5/4.4 assist to turnover ratio. SMU will be without Tim Jankovich tonight, but the SMU staff can definitely coach with Penny Hardaway.
Score Prediction: SMU 74 – Memphis 70
Missouri State +4.5 : This will be Drake’s toughest test of the season, and their undefeated ATS streak will come to an end tonight. Isiaih Mosley is genuinely one of the best players in the country. He is averaging 23.5 ppg, while shooting 59% from the field, 44% from distance, and 90% from the line. His partner in crime, Gage Prim, can also score and rebound with the best of them. This will be a tight one, but the Bears will pull the upset!
Score Prediction: Missouri State 74 – Drake 72
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
