First Four Games Betting Disscusion

Boise St. is a very good three point shooting team, they play defense and have a 9 player rotation.
Dayton has got 7 guys, they don't put up enough shots. They can't score. They shoot poorly from 3.

BYU to crush.

Which teams have the better guards?
Which teams played the tougher schedule?

That's where I start, but that's just me.
I'm not the second coming of Jimmy the Greek Snyder, but I do OK.

Dayton 1H
Boise St. ATS

Dayton home court is great but Boise is a better shooting team, deeper, taller, will dominate boards. Should win in a struggle vs the home crowd.

I like Dayton too, the only thing about that first half wager is Dayton could start out a little slow, lose the 1H, but kill it in the 2H and win going away.

I say maybe Dayton in the 1H only because the home crowd usually gets their team going right out of the gate.

Eventually the extreme lack of height (tallest player 6'6") and depth (only play 7 players deep) will catch up to Dayton. Boise State is already a good rebounding team, they should dominate the boards here.

Boise is going to be much fresher Having had a week off Dayton gets 2 full days of rest but off a 3game tourney with a short rotation. Don't think it'll be a huge factor but maybe bit more practice time for Boise. Real tough game though Daytons not as deep as the team that went to Elite 8 but has 4-5 guys that were part of the run so you can't argue against intangibles on one end. Boise is very talented and can shoot lights out ifvthey are on their game. Great matchup bet. Guard-heavy teams.

Something to think about re homecourt advantage: Boise very recently went to SDSU and won by 10. They're a pretty capable road team.

True and SDSU has an excellent home court advantage.

3 of these teams should not even be messing around with a play-in game and Ole Miss should be in the NIT. BYU will win by 10+ , I don't even know what line is yet-havent looked, Boise has impressed me quite a bit the few times I've seen them, good thing for Dayton it's a home game.

I think Mississippi is going to roll BYU.
They are more athletic. Not ruling out a BYU win if they are hot but
will be taking Ole Miss. But my favorite play is Hampton. The line is +9 now.
I had Hampton in their last game and saw some things I liked. Manhattan
will get theirs but I don't think they can keep up the whole game with Hampton.
I'll probably tease these also with Arkansas and North Carolina both who should
win by a large margin. Boise I feel ok in a tease but the matchup vs Dayton
is dangerous and I wouldn't be taking Boise ML in that.
