    Guys consider this when betting on the play-in game...
    Before you place bets based on "Who the **** is Arkansas-Pine Bluff?" or "Oh, Winthrop is always in and they got an upset I remember." Consider this...

    Arkansas PB started off 0-11 Why? Because they scheduled a hell of a ****ing first 11 games:

    @ Col
    @ Denver
    @ UTEP
    @ Akron
    @ Ariz St
    @ Mich
    @ Okla St
    @ Ga Tech
    @ Mizzou
    @ Kansas St
    @ Oregon

    Yes, all on the road vs bigger conferences and all losses. They finished neatly 17-4 since that stretch. Sure they didn't pick up any wins but man this is a team that won't be intimidated at all and will be super confident. Plus, they didn't get absolutley destroyed by these teams. Sure most were blowouts of like 13-20 points but they learned a lot through that.

    I didn't make a bet on this game and probably won't but I don't see how you can not want to take this team + points.

      Very good info BJ, as of now I plan on leaving this alone, but if I do go with anything here, I'll def be taking the points.

        It really is a brutal schedule. I mean think about it. What team has the confidence and ability to go out and schedule 11 road games in a row to open the year against teams in big conferences and never get run out of the gym and even be in a few games in the final minutes.

          I like the strong FG% def for Pine-Bluff ... in what is essentially the biggest game of the year for these teams ...
