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: 183-137-6
3/1 Three Ball:
Dayton +8
Quinnipiac +4
UMass +11
————————————
Dayton +8 : Dayton finally got Chatman back, and blew out Saint Louis on Senior Night. Everything was looking up! The Flyers beat a top team in the A 10, and were going to have solid momentum pushing towards the conference tournament. Then, they had their most embarrassing performance of the year. You just cannot lose to Saint Joes. I think they took this game lightly after the win over the Billikens, and got popped in the mouth before they knew what was happening. Jalen Crutcher was visibly upset with his team’s performance, and I expect that the senior leader will have the Flyers up for a chance at another big win to end the regular season over the Bonnies. Dayton could potentially squeak this one out if they get Osun in foul trouble. The athletic bigs from Dayton would be too much for Jalen Shaw to handle. I will take the points with the Flyers in this one.
Score Prediction: St. Bonaventure 68 – Dayton 66
Quinnipiac +4 : B2B system play here. I think the Bobcats will outright win, so I am very confident in getting 4 points here. Luis Kortright is one of my favorite freshmen in the country. He is averaging 20 ppg over his last three, and is also rebounding, assisting and defending. He will be the difference maker tonight to go along with consistency from Jacob Rigoni.
Score Prediction: Quinnipiac 67 – Marist 65
UMass +11 : Time to cash in on Tre Mitchell and Noah Fernandes being back to 100% health. The Minutemen’s two best players have been dealing with a shoulder and wrist injury, and the quality from the team has taken a nose dive. However, they have had a week off and Matt McCall has confirmed that there will be no minute restrictions for either tonight. UMass also took Saint Louis to the brink in both contests last season. They had no answer for a freshman Tre Mitchell, so I think he will take advantage of them again tonight. We are getting a good number tonight before the market corrects. Don’t be scared of this one!
Score Prediction: Saint Louis 74 – UMass 68
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
