Finally, a slate of games worth of taking a look at. A couple things to think about this time year with hoops betting...
1. Students are probably on their semester break, meaning home advantage takes a hit because the rowdy millennials are back home for a month mooching off mom & dad.
2. A lot of mid-major and sub-midmajor teams have had a grueling non-conference schedule and ready for conference play. However, some of these teams still have a couple more road games at Power 5 schools which, in my opinion, are 'tank games' where they know they're going to lose and just assume get them over with.
Tuesday's Picks....
***IOWA -23.5 (vs. W. Carolina)
A prime example of what I was referring to above. W. Carolina just lost by 27 to High Point, and now have to face a solid Big Ten team. Blowout.
***KANSAS -21.5 (vs South Dakota)
Another example of what I was saying. But I'm a little more wary here because Kansas seems to have a hard time covering spreads.
***GEORGWETOWN -10 (vs App. St.)
Coach Ewing's team will be highly motivated to kick some ass after 2 tough losses.
***ARKANSAS ST. +1.5 (vs Missouri St.)
Two pretty bad 4-6 teams. One is winless on the road, and the other is undefeated at home. Sports Betting 101.
***EAST CAROLINA +1 (@ Charlotte)
Two bad teams, but ECU is playing better lately and has won 4 of 6.
***CHARLESTON -5.5 (@ Siena)
Charleston just won @ VCU, and now plays a team that lost 82-40 to St. Bonaventure earlier this month.
***MONTANA ST. +7 (@ Denver)
Denver has no business being a 7 point favorite against anyone. Montana St. just defeated a Pac-10 team (albeit a lowly Wazzu squad) and should have a confidence going into this one.
Good Luck!
Stay Greedy, My Friends!
