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: 144-145-12

1/14 Three Ball:

Siena tto 63

St. Bonaventure -2.5

Richmond PK & o145.5

————————————

Siena tto 63 : Thought about taking the points with Siena, but I like this tto. I am not a believer in the Marist defense. They have allowed 63 points in 11 of the 14 games they have played this season, and Siena has gone over this total in 4 out of 5. There were a lot of fouls in both matchups last season, and I like Siena to get to the line after doing so 21 times last time out against Fairfield. Number is simply too low.

Score Prediction: Marist 69 – Siena 67

St. Bonaventure -2.5 : With VCU’s steam in the public market paired with their fiery form, the Bonnies sitting as a favorite in this one without any movement towards the Rams is telling. VCU needs to utilize turnovers into fast break points to be effective in this one, but I think Kyle Lofton is one of the best PG’s in America to help the Bonnies break their pressure. Also, The Reilly Center is one of the best home court advantages in the country. This team is backed in a massive way. I believe the home court advantage, plus the veteran guard play, will get the Bonnies home.

Score Prediction: St. Bonaventure 69 – VCU 64

Richmond PK & over 145.5 : Statement win time for the Spiders. They have severely underperformed this season, but they always show up for a big game at the Robins Center. The Spiders have matchup advantages all over the court. Jacob Gilyard vs Foster Loyer ; Tyler Burton vs – (nobody can guard him on Davidson) ; Grant Golden vs Luka Brajkovic all favor the Spiders from a skill/athleticism perspective. These teams have very similar rosters from last season, and Richmond won in Davidson in the only matchup of the season. They did so while shooting 57% from the field. This Davidson roster just simply cannot defend the Spiders. Best bet of the night. I think Davidson could find some room behind the perimeter in this one, so I also like the over. 80-74 in the matchup last season, and I think we land right around that number again.

Score Prediction: Richmond 80 – Davidson 73

Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
