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: 106-82-5
2/1 Three Ball:
Georgia Tech +5
UMBC -2.5
Austin Peay 1H -3.5
————————————
Georgia Tech +5 : I really love the make-up of Josh Pastner’s Yellow Jacket team this season. They have exceptional guard play, and Moses Wright can play with the best of them down low. The Jackets are getting Bubba Parham back today, and that will be a big help in an afternoon road game at Louisville. GT is coming off of a huge win over FSU, and I expect them to keep things rolling. This will be a nail biter.
Score Prediction: Louisville 69 – Georgia Tech 67
UMBC -2.5 : This is a B2B System play here. I do not believe NJIT has the ability to beat the conference leading Retrievers in back-to-back days. The Highlanders are shooting an abysmal 40% from the field this season, and they should regress back to somewhere near that number today. Brandon Horvath will have a big day for UMBC, and they will win by double digits. This feels … too… easy?
Score Prediction: UMBC 71 – NJIT 61
Austin Peay -3.5 1H : As I spoke about the other day, the Governors are just a completely different team with Jordyn Adams back in the lineup. Him and Terry Taylor could make their way into any rotation in the country. They will jump out to a quick lead this afternoon, and I would just rather get out of it early and avoid a 2nd half comeback that could challenge the spread
Score Prediction: Austin Peay 37 – SIU Edwardsville 31
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
