I will do my best to provide *at least* 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! 20/21 Season: 58%
Season Record: 18-18
11/17 Three Ball:
Texas A&M CC -2
Saint Joes +1
Missouri State -4
————————————
Texas A&M CC -2 : What can I say? I’m an island boy! The Islanders were impressive yesterday on the defensive end, and on the glass. The shots just weren’t dropping. They are coming into today facing a Denver team that is on their third game in three days. It is also an early tip, so even more reason to believe that the Pioneers will have sea legs. Denver has also struggled to rebound this season. They gave up 12 offensive rebounds to IUPUI. That is inexplicable. The Islanders win this game on the glass.
Score Prediction: Texas A&M CC 70 – Denver 62
Saint Joes +1 : This line is screaming Hawks. Drexel is coming off of an NCAA Tournament appearance, and Saint Joes has been in the depths of their program in recent years. However, I think that Saint Joes has pieces to be competitive this season. Taylor Funk is an absolute weapon. A 6’8 wing that can kill you on the perimeter and in the post. Also, a decent rebounder. He will lead the charge, but is supplemented by two other pieces that I really love. Jordan Hall is a 6’7 guard that garnered NBA interest after his A-10 All-Rooke Team selection. Double-double threat on a nightly basis, and is also an exceptional passer. Lastly, the Hawks secured a post presence in Vanderbilt transfer, Ejike Obinna. This 6’10 senior is averaging 14.5 & 10.5 in this young season. Hawks get a big home win!
Score Prediction: Saint Joes 75 – Drexel 70
Missouri State -4 : Beat the line movement when we got this one out last night. Seeing -5.5 now. I love this team to make some serious noise in The Valley this season. Isiaih Mobley is an elite scorer at the mid-major level. He leads the attack, along with running mate Gaige Prim. Prim is an absolute ox on both ends of the floor. 19.5ppg & 14.5rpg in this early season. He will prove to be a huge problem for a Sam Houston team that is lacking in size in the post. Watch out for Donovan Clay as well. I really love this transfer from Valpo. Kid has game.
Score Prediction: Missouri State 76 – Sam Houston 68
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
