2/2 NCAA hoops discussion and plays

[2daBank]

Not much of a card but few decent games and always entertaining metro athletic conf!

Rhode Island looks incredibly squarish but how can ya not after the drop? I was able to get RI-3 -120, is what it is had to take it. Maybe last game sign of potential struggle here or they got that out the way and rams get back to rolling here. Vcu hasn't beaten a top 50 team all year, only beaten 1 top 100 team. Their home court hasn't been as tough as in years past: no sense digging at this one too much, mind made up and play in, if vcu beats me so be it.

I like Colorado even tho havnt beaten utes since '14, funny enough last time buffs beat them exact situation where both teams off the zona swing w utes having to play 3rd road game instead of go home per usual after that trip. buffs have protected home court pretty well, defend the 3 and utes take ungodly amount of them. Bout as good a spot as it gets for a young team to snap a 3 game slide..

Looking into metro now will maybe have some on those. Been a minute since I've had the time for one these threads but ya'll know what's up, feel free to join in w questions, thoughts, plays, whatever. More discussion the better, seems like NCAA hoops forum been kinda dead, let's see if we can get it hopping a little bit!!

I’m liking Green Bay on paper but need to dig deeper

[KDF500]

Banker, seems like the whole world feeling Yale today but I don’t see it. -7.5 decent chalk to lay with a Tigers squad that won’t sweat dealing with this current Bulldogs squad.. 2 of 3 best players been out since late November and they have been either getting blowout or chasing nearly every game they have played on the rd this season.. a Tigers team that lost to MTU by 2 and that beat USC on the rd will show strongly here..

These lowly horizon teams seem to split home/home most the time. Certainly understand the points being tempting as milw pretty bad to lay 6-7 points I just can't do it. Normally anything less than +7 and I gotta think dog has decent chance to win, don't like GB chances of winning. They can certainly cover just not a bet I like, gl bro

Is everyone feeling Yale? Line up to +8, I don't really look at those bet percentages, sbr odds shows it 58% on Princeton for what it worth (I have no clue how accurate that is and don't really care).

Princeton hasn't lost a home conf game for like 3 years. My rule of thumb is dogs with spreads of 6 or less I have to believe have good chance to win for me to play them. This obviously higher than that threshold but I still wouldn't play Yale. Looks like 10-12 point win.

[2daBank]

Kinda like a ml parlay tonight.

Princeton ml
Buffalo ml
Milwaukee ml
Iona ml

Pays +125..

Princeton my favorite of group, like using them with buffs or rams, then adding another of other 3 and doing several 3 teamers like that.

For example Princeton ml/buffalo ml/buffs pk pays +185ish.

Just being creative as only few ats plays I like. Glad I got down on RI overnight. If you didn't maybe use few those and rams ml instead of laying -5?

[KDF500]

No love for the Utes?? Bibbins a beast... but something tells me Buffs cheesed at letting a tight game at ASU get away from them late on.

Not to mention Buffs get against the number at home...like 7-2 ats

starting to
rethink my play on the Utes myself...lol

[bballs84]

Thoughts on Monmouth Banker? Fairfield has lost 7-9 and awful on the road.. Monmouth been better of late and playing at home..

Even tho utes had long rest I think it tough ask to play the zona 2 step then have to play another road game where most get a home game after that like buffs are. Utes played great on that zona swing but I don't like their combo of heavily 3 point reliant and bad defense as a good recipe to win on the road. I suspect their 3 point percentage goes down for 3rd straight game and think buffs snap their 3 game slide.

Great thread

Ugh, I dunno. Monmouth not playing all that well. Only 2 home wins Since thanksgiving!! Lol. Pass

[2daBank]

Columbia +105 gets a play from me. 5th straight road tilt for Harvard with one more on deck 2marro vs Cornell. Pretty simple, gonna be favs in both so if they get me tonight will try once more 2marro. Don't see them winning both. From a matchup perspective Harvard is turning the ball over at a alarming rate and Columbia top team in ivy creating turnovers. Fact total is several points higher than KP projection leads me to believe lions could get the pace they desire here.

Niagara? Thoughts

[Cougar Bait]

2 team teaser for me
Princeton -2.5/Buffalo -5 pays close to even $

Never tease hoops but that looks really solid. Gl to you as well my man.

[2daBank]

Niagara? Thoughts

Line screams peacocks but certainly understand looking at niagara. was only a 3 point game at niagara and I'd suspect St. Peter's defense be better at home, purple eagles don't play d so safe to assume peacocks again have offensive uptick while I think eagles numbers prob go down from last meeting. Pass for me, gun to head st pete

[2daBank]

Great thread

Thanks buddy, I do my best.

Oh Princeton... I was hopeful early on but even when it hit OT I knew it was done. Tigers had difficulty stopping Yale today and just couldn’t get any runs started. To Bankers point earlier ML seemed very smart considering their home record in conference.. well played Bank!

I just got done with store, cooking, eating. Just realized it was a earlier tip and escaped in ot, whew. 1 down several to go!! Lol

[2daBank]

Wow I knew niagara would have harder time scoring but impressed how well st Pete has dictated tempo on them. I was trying to find a box score but wasn't able to, assuming pace slow and niagara shooting really poorly? Kinda regretting not playing that one, lol.

[GT21Megatron]

First time watching Rhode Island tonight and they have Elite 8 written all over them. Matthews and Terrell can score and that big thick guy they got down low can score at will just doesn’t get the touches. Well coached and can rebound. There gonna be a tough out in the dance

[KDF500]

URI gutsy

Tough attitude, feel like this a statement on the rd.

Yea they really good, I knew that coming into year but when I got sold was how well they played when Mathews went out for a month or whatever it was. Then few Saturdays back when they played st Bonnie's and just blew their doors off I was like damn, they really a team to be reckon with come march. I just hope the committee doesn't do them and higher seed team a disservice and give them crappy seed, body of work screams they should be higher than what I suspect they get (I think they worthy of a 4-5 seed), beat SH on neutral without EC, gave bama and Nevada good games in their gyms without him, and simply running roughshod through a-10 is impressive. Prob get stuck with like a 10 seed, lol.

I like em a lot. High on Xavier and USC as well. Can’t wait for march

Bro USC? I faded them so much this year, I'm not a buyer at all. They talented but lacking as a team imo.

10/7 matchups favor the 10 seeds I’ll be all over them heavy they get seeded down that far. Gotta hope they get beat in there conference tourney to make that happen which is possible

[2daBank]

Jesus, now Iona in ot, I don't know how otters plays these big mls all the time? Always making me sweat! Lol

Yea but that would suck cause then it not fair to them or the 2 seed they would play in 2nd round!

[GT21Megatron]

USC playing good ball right now and peaking. Enfield in the dance. Just throwing it out there. Dark horse. They got the talent

[GT21Megatron]

Probably upset the #2 if the 2 gets out of the first round....I feel like a 2-3 seed gonna go down first day this year

Admittedly havnt seen them in awhile, agree on talent, prob still don't buy them, playing well in PAC-12 doesn't usually impress me, lol.

[2daBank]

Damn, Iona gonna blow it:

[2daBank]

Cash Columbia. Certainly happy but Now gotta actually cap the Harvard/Cornell game instead of play Cornell blind, lol.

PAC 12 sucks and is overrated every year in hoops and football. There a joke.....I’m going against ya on this Utah game. I just don’t like home teams with low lines like this so give me Utah....


I think UVA gets beat early in March. I ain’t buying them
