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: 185-140-6
3/2 Three Ball:
Detroit Mercy ML -120
Michigan State -2
Georgia Tech -1
————————————
Detroit Mercy ML : Trusting in the Antoine Davis show tonight. This kid is unbelievable. He went for 46 (!!!) in the Horizon league first round matchup with Robert Morris. On the season he is averaging 24 ppg, while shooting 91% from the stripe and 37% from distance. He is an elite scorer that is built for tournament play. This team is actually much better than their record shows as well. They are the 2nd highest rated Horizon team in KenPom. They assist more than they turn it over ; they shoot 80% as a team from the free throw line ; and also shoot the three at 39%. Give me the Titans tonight!
Score Prediction: Detroit 76 – NKU 72
Michigan State -2.5 : Yes, I have been on the fade Sparty train. However, IU is dead. The blown lead in Piscataway effectively ended their season in my opinion. It is also likely that they be without Armaan Franklin again tonight. I do not trust that backcourt without Franklin, and Jackson-Davis should find it tough to get it going against the length from Sparty. Izzo will find a way to pull this one out at the Breslin.
Score Prediction: Michigan State 70 – Indiana 64
Georgia Tech -1 : Take the programs and jerseys out of it .. and the Yellow Jackets have the better talent on the court this season. The backcourt of Alvarado, Devoe and Usher – paired with Moses Wright – is a step above what Coach K is rolling out there this season. Also, this game being in Atlanta is a huge advantage for Josh Pastner’s squad. The Jackets are 7-1 straight up at home in conference play, with the lone loss coming to UVA. To be fair, Tech was winning for the majority of that contest as well. Duke has had a nice run, but they will not be able to find a way to squeak this one out on the road.
Score Prediction: Georgia Tech 76 – Duke 71
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
