    Ballsyman's College Hoops Picks with write ups.

    Went 4-2 yesterday, looking to continue to BUST MY BOOK!!!





    TOP PLAYS
    3 UNIT PLAY
    Wisconsin/ Iowa Under 124.5: Loser -3.0 units This Wisconsin team has played supreme defense this year as they come in having allowed just 44.4 ppg (1st) on 33.3% shooting (1st) and that includes 24.1% from long range (3rd). That is an all around tough defense that seems to be getting tougher as they have allowed just 39.3 ppg on 30.8 % shooting in their last 3 games. Wisconsin on offense has not been that great, but as they have averaged just 67.9 ppg overall, including 64 ppg in their last 8. The Badgers do not worry about putting a ton of points on the board as their defense has just shut everyone down. Iowa does score a bunch (77.9 ppg), but they haven't seen the kind of stifling defense they will face today.The Hawkeyes will look to run (27th in shots taken), but the Badgers are too good to let them To go along with great defense the Badgers play a slow down game as they have averaged just 53.3 shots per game (237th), including just 45.3 shots per game in their last 4 games and that really limits the chances of their opponents to score as well. Not one of Wisconsin's last 8 games have put up more than 124 points and I don't see it happening here either. KEY TREND--- WISCONSIN is 30-12 UNDER after a game where they made 50% of their 3 point shots or better since 1997.




    5 POINT TEASER--- Louisville +14 & Indiana State -5.5 WINNER +3.0 units




    OTHER PLAY
    2 UNIT PLAY

    Oklahoma State/ Virginia Tech Under 129.5: WINNER +2.0 units The Hokies have picked it up on offense of late, but that has been vs really inferior defensive teams and today they step it up in competition. Today the Hokies face an OSU team that has allowed just 63.2 ppg on 39% shooting overall, including 56.5 ppg on 36% shooting at home. The Cowboys will really need that defense as their offense just hasn't been there this year. OSU comes in scoring 67.8 ppg on 41.1% shooting, while in their last 5 games they have averaged just 63.2 ppg on 37.5% shooting. The OSU offense will not have an easy time getting their offense going today as tey face a Hokie team that has played some of the best defense in the nation this year. The Hokies are 37th in poimnts allowed (59.3 ppg), 49th in defensive FG% (39.1%) and 1st in defending the three (22.8%). Points are note easy to come by vs this defense. The last 2 in this series have put up no more than 116 points and with both teams playing excellent defense I'll look for the same kind of result here.
