Mid Ten +3 STEAL in tn's play-in??

Catchn_Picks · 03-19-13, 09:00 AM

Great write up DOM...to give you more ammunition to back and support MTSU...Paul Bessire from The Prediction Machine was interviewed on ESPN about the computer's picks...he says one of the best values of the dance is either ST Mary or MTSU beating Memphis in the first round. He says both teams are significantly better than Memphis.

So, I think it is safe to ride MTSU today and the next game.

I don't know a single person who likes the gaels.

I noticed that when Jordan Page got hurt, it seemed like St. Marys had two people on the floor you could leave open from the outside. It really hurt their scoring in the second half against the Zags. He is listed as questionable..any one know if he is out?

jinxpro13 · 03-19-13, 10:33 AM

beating vanderbilt or ole miss isn't impressive to me at all.
im not saying mid ten isn't the play here, but why are they a 3 pt dog still? seems like everyone is on mid tenn tonight.

Makes me like St Mary's even more. Should be a hard fought game

DOM_Toretto · 03-19-13, 10:43 AM

Personally, I don't care who 'everybody' is on. Winning @ vandy is impressive for a small school, and so is winning 11 road games this year. (Two of their losses were road OT losses as well.) Can't say the same for SMC. With Jordan Page less than 100% and Dellavedova shooting poorly as of late, MTSU should roll here.

survivalinstinct · 03-19-13, 10:44 AM

Love st marys but it almost seems like their success is heavily based on delladova having a good game handling the ball. If he's on with his passing game off screens and set plays and can get the easy basket as he does so often in their wins then this should be a breeze. occasionally though teams game plan and keep him from being the primary handler for long periods of time.

By the way... Dellavedova is 8/38 in FGs in his last 3 games combined. That's 21% for those of you without a calculator. Now let's fly him across the country and throw him up against a team with an above average FG defense and 3PT defense, MTSU.

Traveling will be absolutely no issue at all with these kids. What will be an issue is only 48 hours to prepare.

Gael's take this one by a comfortable margin.

Did you see them school Creighton?

Yes, I saw that. Only thing keeping me away from completely hammering this MTSU+3 line. However, I feel that Creighton was in a SLUMP though and was losing games on the road against weak teams.

magsmeplease · 03-19-13, 06:02 PM

BOL to you, I honestly see this game being a 5-10 point win by St. Mary's.
I placed 2 units on the game, hope I win but good luck to you.

I also took a 2 game Parlay with the NC A&T ML for 1 unit, hoping I can pull off both, but admittedly the only reason I bet against Liberty is because I couldn't ever see myself betting for anything Jerry Falwall created.

is the guy from St.Mary's still injuried, i remember watching the last game with gonza, and one of their players went down in the 1st half with an ankle injury or something???

yisman · 03-19-13, 07:31 PM

Page is doubtful for St. Mary's, btw

DOM_Toretto · 03-19-13, 07:56 PM

Jorden Page did not make the trip out to Dayton. Freshman Giuti will start in his place.

HOT WINGS · 03-19-13, 08:03 PM

All over MTSU myself. Hit the line as soon as it was released pretty much and got 3 & 140 ML

yisman · 03-19-13, 08:12 PM

the committee screwed this one up badly

neither of these teams should've been in a play-in and they should've been single digit seeds

Rmac15 · 03-19-13, 09:11 PM

MTSU looks like CRAP.

In the NIT right? This game is unbearable to watch.

Bbfromgpt · 03-19-13, 09:50 PM

Got a ML parlay with St Mary's and NC A&T. Lost on A&T -2. Hit St Marys 1H ML. Got ST Marys -2. Got MTSU Live +9.5

lets get it

Its a betting forum rook. We are all pulling for each other here. No need to be a little bitch.

yisman · 03-19-13, 10:15 PM

SportsOptions thinks the game is over. They filled in St. Mary's as Memphis's opponent

I don't think the guy who started a thread about MTSU +3 is rooting for all of your St Mary's bets.

thfootball · 03-19-13, 10:18 PM

st marys' getting away with a few fouls

Bbfromgpt · 03-19-13, 10:19 PM

I was just putting it out there. I'd be happy with winning the ML bets and pushing the spread so he wins too. Funny, he wasn't being the dick. You were! But, it's cool man. Whatever makes you feel good! Good luck

thfootball · 03-19-13, 10:24 PM

i'm closing the blinds on this one. Good luck tomorrow
