if the skins score 16 for the half, they cover. any decent team is getting 6-8 on the line in the 1H. the downside to the MAC is that a team can go 2 weeks playing only one decent team and it can be difficult to get a read. won big in January on MAC faves vs NILL, Toledo, directional Michigans, but think that value's slipping there. however, some of those crap teams with a dream might be money 1H unders come MAC conf tourney time. MAC tourney played in the Q in Cleveland and it's generally a poor shooting gym for college hoops. much like the Big Ten tourney, there will inevitably be a game played in the 40s or low 50s.
at any rate, miami was a one-bucket cover in either event, and the best plays are the ones that we're picking that cover by about 3 buckets. nothing better than watching a team dribble out the clock on the 1H cover.
