I will do my best to provide college basketball winners for you on a nightly basis. The majority of the nights we will try to keep it to three plays, but some days may ask for more. I recommend you play them individually .. however, never be scared of a little sniper parlay!
Season Record: 43-28
Season Best Bet Record: 16-6
12/1 Card:
Creighton +7
Wofford -13
UCLA -5
————————————
Creighton +7 : Both of my preseason natty future tickets are squaring off tonight. That Texas ticket is looking great right about now. 30/1 for the #2 team in the country. The number tonight is simply too high. Yes, I watched what Texas did to Gonzaga in the Moody Center. We bet on it. However, we’ve seen that Gonzaga is not in elite form as of yet after their recent performances. Creighton packs a different punch than Gonzaga. Pure point guard play is critical when facing a Chris Beard defense. Ryan Nembhard is one of the better PG’s in the country, and I expect him to keep it close tonight. Creighton impressed with a gauntlet of a schedule in Maui. I like that they are tuned up to compete with top competition while heading into this matchup. They also should be fresh after having time off since the 23rd. I had this number as Texas -4. We will take the three points in value. 7 is also a key number. It allows two late game fouls without scoring if down 3. Should be a fantastic game.
Score Prediction: Texas 72 – Creighton 68
Wofford -13 : This is a longstanding Big Brother vs Little Brother matchup in the upstate of South Carolina. Wofford is 19-2 in the last 21 in this series, and currently on a W7. The games are never close. Little brother never gets let up for air. I expect another thrashing tonight at Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium. Presbyterian lost by 27 to Wofford at home last season. The Blue Hose’s leading scorer from that game has transferred out of the program. I do not see a path to victory for them tonight. Wofford is coming off of a close loss in Baton Rouge to a good LSU team, and this should really propel their season. They made 11 threes, and will continue the hot shooting tonight. The Terriers have 64 made threes in 7 games, and the Blue Hose have 39 makes in 8. This is the key metric that always determines the result of this matchup. Wofford made 12 last year, and Presbyterian made 1. BJ Mack and Messiah Jones should also dominate the post as veteran bigs. I am really impressed with freshman, Jackson Paveletzke. He is leading Wofford in scoring this season, and seemingly never takes a bad shot. He is averaging 16.9 ppg on 59.3% shooting. That is efficient as it gets for a guard. An almost unheard of field goal percentage. Wofford should get close to a 20 point victory tonight
Score Prediction: Wofford 75 – Presbyterian 58
UCLA -5 : This is my Best Bet. It looks like we will receive great CLV on this one. Already steamed up to -6.5. I had this number at -8. Stanford is in complete disarray on the offensive side of the ball. They currently sit 208th in offensive efficiency. In comparison, the Bruins are 15th. Also, I think UCLA can match them defensively. Especially, with the return of Jaylen Clark. He was back at practice this week, and should be full go after sitting out their last game with an illness. He can cause a lot of problems for Spencer Jones. He is considered by many to be an NBA-level defender. I am also loving the emergence of Amari Bailey. He is starting to flourish as a freshman, and is very productive in all aspects of the game. UCLA has lost both of their “step-ups” this season, and should be motivated to go make a statement at Maples. Without a strong home court advantage for the Cardinal, I like the Bruins to get a double digit victory tonight.
Score Prediction: UCLA 72 – Stanford 62
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
