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: 132-101-5
2/11 Three Ball:
Winthrop -3
Utah -4
Oregon -1 & +2.5
————————————
Winthrop -3 : This play is simple. The Big South runs through the Eagles. Following a slip-up for their first loss of the season, Winthrop will come out hot in this game and never look back. This team is 10 deep at times, and they have a role player for everything you need to be a successful mid-major team. This team will maintain their stranglehold of the 1 seed before entering the conference tournament. Don’t overthink it. 2u play for me.
Score Prediction: Winthrop 75 – Radford 65
Utah -4 : The Timmy Allen show will be on full display tonight. After scoring 26 points in the first match-up between these two, he will get closer to 30 tonight. It was a weird game when these two met for the first time. Utah came out firing early, and had a 15 point lead near the end of the 1H. For what ever reason, they took their foot off of the gas and allowed Cal to come back and get the win. Embarrassing loss for Utah. This will have them fired up to prove a point tonight. Also, Cal just does not have the talent to run a double on a team in the Pac 12. Utah – big.
Score Prediction: Utah 70 – Cal 59
Oregon -1 & +2.5: It doesn’t happen often, but the line on the Oregon game moved against me overnight. The public must be more concerned over Duarte and Williams. As I said, I am confident in the Ducks either way.. so I am adding Oregon +2.5 to my -1 as well. From Dana’s comments, I think the Ducks will have Duarte and be without Williams. People are forgetting Will Richardson made his season debut the other night.. and looked amazing! This team, and this coach, are too good to drop this game tonight. NCAA Tournament is on the mind of his bunch.
Score Prediction: Oregon 79 – Arizona State 76
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
