Alright boys. Tuesday Hoops

[PorkChop]

Been circling one game a night that I highly disagree with the line.

Yesterday was Baylor.

Today, Eastern Mich -2 @ Ball State.

Have this capped at 7/8 points, 2 seems like a gift here.

Added: Navy -2.5 (-110)

[PorkChop]

14 Straight loses for Ball State.

All I know is I followed under wash st and Baylor so I just keep my mouth closed and follow. BEASTERN MICH IT IS

Yes and have you seen their results after that game?

Yes and have you seen their results after that game?

And did you realize that EMU is 1-7 ATS in conference road games???...

I think EMU is the better team, but their abysmal away ATS record is enough for an avoidance.

Ball State
Points Allowed : 231st
Rebounds: 234th

Eastern:
Points Allowed: 132nd
Rebounds: 51st

This is when they say "Don't over-think it"

Ball State
Points Allowed : 231st
Rebounds: 234th

Eastern:
Points Allowed: 132nd
Rebounds: 51st

Ball state is 51st in the country allowing offensive rebounds on just 28% of possessions. EMU shoots a less than impressive 47% effective fg%. Pair that with minimal second chances and you got a bit of a problem.

EMU on the other hand allows O Rebs on 32.3% of possessions, good for 243rd in the country. Ball state also shoots a better effective fg% at 48.8%.

I can spew out numbers too.
like i said.... ball state is obviously not as good as EMU but... numbers dont lie.

Eastern needs to win next two games to jump to 8th seed for a first round home game in MAC Tourny. Not a game Eastern wants to lose

This type of thinking doesnt always generate positive results for the team that "must win"

The line is falling for EMU. Down to -2.5 at -115 which I took before it fell further.

Falling... with 80% on them.
RLM against a favorite on the road... ew

Like Baylor yesterday. Opened at 2.5, closed at 4, with mass public money.

Not a "must-win" for EMU, but Id say a "cant afford to lose"

If Staten doesn't play today Kansas will destroy WVU that is all you need to know for today take whatever money you are going to bet and put it on Kansas.

Texas A&M +5.5 @ Florida wtff...this a big game for A&M too

[xdodger19]

I have seen florida play, they are a bad team that struggles to get points
Texas AM plays very well ats on the road
Florida can't cover 5 against the third best team in the sec
A&M lost by 6 on the road against arkansas
Florida goes on long scoring droughts, they dribble around the perimeter too much
They are really struggling to score and playing good defense, so the game looks to be around 128 total
Texas A&M plays just as good of defense as Florida. The difference is they can score a little better
It looks to be a really close game around 65-63
The play is Texas A&M +5
Florida can only cover at home against the bottom of the sec


hot teams
LSU
Iowa
Boston College
BYU
Cincinnati
Old Dominion
Boise St.
UCDavis
Kansas ST.

Cold
Tennessee
Utep

Your fine brother. Love all feedback

Good stuff porky. Was never "against" the EMU play. Simply wanted to play some devils advocate.

Good win
