This is my favorite of the day. UMass was my favorite early on, but after further deliberation Iona is the Play of the Night for me. I actually got it at -4.5 and ML -190, but I then doubled down on the ML at -185 (wow, what a bargain I got that 2nd time around! lol) Na, but seriously Rider can shoot the 3, and that is how they win the games that they do. But when they cant connect from downtown...watch out! They haven't faired well against inferior teams (record wise) in conference who can defend the 3 (Siena, St. Peters, Marist). Not saying these teams are known for their perimeter defense, but the key to defeating Rider is containing that. Iona has been holding their opponents over the last 3 weeks to just under 33% from downtown. That is not the only reason I am selecting Iona, but it certainly is a major reason. Rider at home is also nothing to brag about, losing to far inferior teams this year at Alumni Gymnasium. Put that all together with the fact that Iona is playing really well in conference over the last 3 weeks and this game is one that most people (even squares) would bet on. RLM not in my favor here, but I'm ok with that because RLM doesn't predict the outcome of a game anywhere near 100% of the time. So the square number sticks in my eyes and Iona covers and more importantly wins the game on the road to bring them one game away from clinching the #1 seed in the Metro Atlantic Tournament...GL and enjoy the action tonight...

'this game is one that most people (even squares) would bet on'. Makes no sense. Of course squares would bet on this. Its on tv, looks easy, enough said. I LOVED your bg pick last night. Not so much tonight. This is the complete opposite of that pick. That's why they play the games I guess.Comment -

Iona no field goals in last four minutes..........hmmmmmComment -
I also love the MAACComment -
Uhhhh...what a tough Loss on the Spread. That game was locked up until the last 4-5 min the whole way. Almost like BG last night except BG turned it into a game with over 14 minutes remaining. Ah well, glad I bet the ML 2x and I still am happy with the selection as I feel I was on the right side regardless of the outcome. Sometimes its just about knowing that your making the right play regardless of how it turns out. Call it a morale victory with a cost to your pocket...We'll get em tomorrow gentlemen. I'm starting to work on that just as we speak...GL fellas...Comment
