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: 167-135

Season Best Bet Record: 60-32

2/17 Card:

Penn +3

————————————

Penn +3 : Best Bet! This is the only play of the day, but is very worthy of a Best Bet nod. Yale’s inability to stop Jordan Dingle will be a huge issue for them tonight on the road at The Palestra. Dingle has scored at least 27 points in 3 out of the last 4 matchups against the Bulldogs. This includes a 31 point outing in a win over Yale on the Quakers’ home court last season. I am putting a lot of emphasis on one player because Jordan Dingle is the 2nd leading scorer in the country. When he goes, the Quakers go. Dingle was a big reason why the Quakers were in the game in New Haven all of the way until the very end earlier this season. He had 27 points on 10-17 shooting in the 7 point loss. The Quakers have a great chance to even the season series tonight. The are on a five game win streak since that Yale loss, and a big reason for that is the improved play of two key role players. Max Martz has taken a big step forward scoring the basketball recently. He is averaging 13.4 points per game in that 5 game win streak. Nick Spinoso is coming on strong as well. He averaged 13ppg/5.5rpg/5apg in the last two Quaker wins against Cornell and Harvard. Two of Yale’s three conference losses have come on the road, and Penn has been great at The Palestra. Out of conference wins against Temple and Colgate, and a 3-1 record in the Ivy. It is also worth noting that Yale has not won at The Palestra since the 16/17 season despite having the better program for that entire time period. I had Penn winning this in a one possession game, so I will gladly take the points. This bet is Shot Quality approved. Their model predicts a very similar final score to what I have.
