    NIT Play Tuesday: UMass +6.5

    Minutemen have finished the season really strong with a nice run in the A-10 tourney and two upset wins in the NIT. Keep in mind that for a good part of the season, most bracketologists had this team in tourney but then they had some bad conference losses which ultimately ended their hopes.

    Drexel is good and they might be playing with a chip on their shoulder from being left out but all in all these are two pretty evenly matched teams.

    I might make this play tonight rather than risk getting a bad number tomorrow. For all i know this line might move to 7 but I think there's a better chance it drops to 5.5 by gametime.

    I also think Washington handles Oregon easily.

    This line baffles me. I figured UMass would be like +4. Why are they in the same boat as UNI here?

    UMass is the better team, although Drexels half court style could present problems.

    Drexel played about as well as they could possibly play in the 1st half vs a horrible Northern Iowa club. And still that game came down to the very end with Drexel winning by their chinny chin-chin by 2 pts.

    That line was Drexel -7 against No.Iowa. How the heck is this line against UMASS about the same at -6.5 ?!

    There's no funky line here guys. Books aren't trying to trick us on some NIT basketball game. UMass is the play.

    Just bet on umass +6.5 and in the 10 seconds it took me to place the wager, my site went up to plus 7.5 This seems strange. 1 point that fast and with what looks like majority on umass

    Yup some major RLM on this game, with only three CBB games not weird that the lines would move, but there has been some big swings for this early in the morning.

    The line jump is a bad sign and I got a bad number but we will see what happens.

    what you are forgetting is umass has been outscoring teams lately... havent got it done on the defensive end... now umass is on fire on offense but now there up against a top 10 defense in the nation... umass has prooven to turn ball over alot which will not help there case and look for drexel to slow game down taking away umass love to run... it's a no play for me but love to see minutemen get a win here growing up right down the road from campus would love umass ball to get back to a good program

    UMASS Is bringing a lot fans to the game tonight. They shoot the ball really well and a 5 point game either way in the end. Minutemen + 7.5 is the play for me.

    This explains the line move and sharps are banking on Massachusetts being gassed.

    UMass played @ Seton Hall Sunday morning. which is a 30 minute plane flight.

    Now they are playing @ Drexel which is hour, and a half plane flight.

    They never left New England this week. Gas should be on full.

    Crazy comeback here. UMass giving Drexel the same treatment VCU did with the trap.

    I may hedge this... It's time for Drexel to make a run and this is being set up for a lot of free throws.

    Drexel showing why the are in the NIT... can not hold any type of lead. Offense goes in the gutter.

    I think Drexel will still win this game. The +6.5 might be shaky even with Massachusetts up 2 right now.
