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: 169-127-5
2/24 Three Ball:
Marquette +9
Rutgers/IU o132.5
Arkansas PK
————————————
Marquette +9 : I believe this is a good match-up for the Golden Eagles. There is a caveat though. Theo John must stay out of foul trouble. John, along with Dawson Garcia, can provide rim protection against Carolina better than most teams. I like D.J. Carton and Koby McEwen to be able to outpace the Tar Heel back court in scoring, and Jamal Cain should pick up where he left off against Butler. Carolina will win the game, but it will be closer than people think.
Score Prediction: UNC 75 – Marquette 70
Rutgers/IU o132.5 : I believe Rutgers gets right at the Rac tonight on the offensive side of the ball, but I am not fully ready to trust them on the defensive end after what I saw against Maryland. Not only could they not get a stop in live action, they also sent the Terps to the line 28 times. I am not sure you can fix that by the next game. IU has some matchup advantages with Franklin and Jackson-Davis, and I believe they will be able to score with Rutgers until the end in this one. We should see a similar score-line to the match-up from earlier this season (74-70).
Score Prediction: Rutgers 72 – IU 67
Arkansas PK : Woooooooooooo! Pig! Sooie! The master motivator that is the Muss Bus, will have Fayetteville fired up tonight. Expect the limited capacity to sound louder than any venue you have heard this season. He will also have his guys ready to go on the court. They were absolutely embarrassed in Tuscaloosa earlier this season. The pressure defense will be turned up tonight, and an Alabama team that already turns the ball over 14+ times per game will have some trouble. Moses Moody is in the top tier of freshmen in the country, and I think he has a big night with the energy that will be buzzing through Bud Walton Arena. This will be a 2u play for me.
Score Prediction: Arkansas 82 – Alabama 77
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
