I will do my best to provide *at least* a daily group of 3-5 picks for all of you snipers out there. The goal is a 2-1 (3-2) night. I recommend you play them individually .. however, never be scared of a little sniper parlay! 20/21 Season: 58%
Season Record: 120-124-9
1/7 Starting Five:
Kent State +8
Cornell +5
Cleveland State 1H -4.5 & -8
Xavier -5
————————————
Kent State +8 : This is not a Sniper ML special, but I think Kent State has the roster to keep us within the number tonight. If there is a weakness in this Bobcat team, it is on the glass. Ohio jumped out to a big lead in Rupp Arena earlier this year, but eventually got blown out in the 2H due to losing the offensive glass 19 to 5. If Justyn Hamilton stays out of foul trouble, he should dominate the glass tonight for the Flashes. Hopefully, he has some help from Tervell Beck as well. Sincere Carry is the X-Factor tonight though. Need him to bring it on the offensive & defensive end. Especially, when guarding Sears. I think Ohio wins in a close one, but this number is simply too high.
Score Prediction: Ohio 72 – Kent State 66
Cornell +5 : Now, this is a Sniper ML special. The Big Red are 9-1 ATS coming into this game, and they will likely get the win tonight. Both teams should light it up from distance against poor perimeter defense, but I believe that Cornell will live on the glass tonight. The Cornell bigs can also punish you from the line. Jones comes in at 76.2% & Boothby at 90%. This is the only clear advantage you can find between both teams. The wrong team is favored. Cornell gets a big road win.
Score Prediction: Cornell 80 – Penn 75
Cleveland St. -4.5 & -8 : This will be a blowout from jump street. Robert Morris is 2-11 and on the verge of quitting and going through the motions until the conference tournament. Actually, their best player did quit. Rasheem Dunn has left the program, and the Colonials are even bigger trouble than before. Cleveland State was a tournament team last year, and are a Top 5 most experienced team in the country. They will smell blood in the water in the mess that is Robert Morris, and this will be a 20 point blowout victory. An experienced team always knows when to take advantage of situations like this. Vikings. Big.
Score Prediction: Cleveland St. 81 – Robert Morris 61 (1H: 38-25)
Xavier -5 : Looks like I will receive some major CLV on this one. Which, of course, means this will be a loser. However, the X should have matchup advantages all over the court tonight. Better backcourt, better frontcourt, better coach. Not overthinking this one due to a situational spot. If we die, we die.
Score Prediction: Xavier 68 – Butler 60
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
