Tigers/Mountaineers OVER the Posted Total

Week to Date - 6-1 +16.80 units

College Hoops Postseason - +29.60 units

Tuesday's Results

ATS 3-0 +9u
2H 1-1 (-0.20u)
Total 4-1 +8.80u

Another solid night hitting my 3 full game plays, the big 5 unit play on NC/UAB under the posted total, 2 unit play on Texas Tech/Mississippi over the total, and another 2 unit play on the Bobcats/Wizards under the posted total. I split my 2, 2H - 2 unit plays with the winning one being Texas Tech/Mississippi 2H going over the total and the losing one being Bobcats/Wizards under 2H, which went over the set total. All in all a solid 4-1 day that produced +8.80 units and moved the week total to +16.80 units. In addition, the college postseason total grew as well as it is now at +29.60 units entering Wednesday. In a good position to achieve my 7th winning week in the past 8 weeks, but need to keep the foot on the pedal and keep building that bankroll daily.

Wednesday's Play

Pacific/Appalachian State OVER 132 5 units

Trends

Appalachian State are 16-5 ATS last 21 games overall

Appalachian State are 9-3 ATS last 12 Wednesday's games

These trends appear to have nothing to do with the total, as I'm playing the over, but these show me that the Mountaineers have been good against the spread the past 20+ games but more importantly that they do well on Wednesday's games. This is an important factor to me because these mid week games can sometimes have a negative effect on some teams but that does not appear to be the case with Appalachian State. As for Pacific, I expect them to keep up their recent offensive success and both clubs should have enough in them to push this one comfortably over the posted total of 132.

Pacific

Offense

The Tigers average 66 per game on the road this season through 17 road contests on 46 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent shooting from deep. A downfall for this club may be their free throw shooting which currently averages just 65 percent from the line on the road. In their past 5 games they have averaged 69 points per game on 46 percent shooting from the field and 38 percent from deep. The free throw numbers still struggled being at only 63 percent from the line, but they still managed to average close to 70 points per game in this span. Therefore even if they continue their poor free throw shooting, I am still confident this club can put up close to 70 points on the road in Appalachian State and if they do decide to finally hit free throws, its just a little added insurance I have on them.

Defense

Defensive wise the Tigers allow 60 points per game on the road on 40 percent shooting from the field and 37 percent from deep. In their past 5 they have allowed an average of 63 per game on 39 percent shooting from the field and 33 percent from deep. The Tigers are a descent defensive club but with the way the Mountaineers play at home, I find it highly unlikely they hold them under 70 points in this spot.

Appalachian State

Offense

The Mountaineers average 82 per game through 17 home games on 52 percent shooting from the field and 44 percent shooting from deep, this team lights it up at home. As for free throws, they hit at a solid 76 percent at home this season. In their past 5 games they have averaged 74 per game on 47 percent from the field and 46 percent from deep. Free throws dropped a little but are still at a descent 72 percent from the line during their past 5 games. A deceiving game that effects this past 5 average is their poor offensive performance against Wofford where they only put up 51 points but in the other 4 games they hit in the 70s twice, 80s once, and 90s once.

Defense

On the defensive end, the Mountaineers allow an average of 70 per game at home on 44 percent shooting from the field and 36 percent from deep. A key element is opponents only shot an average of 69 percent from the line, not much different than Pacific's away average, but still managed to reach an average of 70 against when playing the Mountaineers on their home court. In their past 5 games, they have allowed an average of 63 per game on 38 percent shooting and 37 percent from deep.

In a repeat of the UAB debacle because I never learn anything, don't you think App State is the play as well?

In a repeat of the UAB debacle because I never learn anything, don't you think App State is the play as well?

Its tough because the Mountaineers have been solid at home compiling a 14-3 mark but the Tigers have been playing much better basketball of late. They have won 4 straight on the road and 6 of their past 7 on the road, in addition that 1 loss during that span was only by 3 points, the current number set today. If you want to dig deeper, the Tigers are 7-2 in their past 9 on the road and there was that 1 loss by 3 mentioned earlier but the other 1 was only a 1 point loss, so they have won 7 of 9 on the road SU and the other 2 games they lost by 3 and 1. This line is sharper than I feel many posters will think it is and I don't really know which side I would back, the Mountaineers are tough at home and play well on Wednesdays and the Tigers have been as solid on the road as any club in the nation, so its a very tough call. I will say this, I am fairly confident that both teams will be competitive and that there should be some points put up in this one. Good luck with your plays.

shit, just played them under 132, line has moved a few places to 131.5. My numbers show 126

[hugh4310]

Thanks ICE hope you have a side play!

[iceminers26]

Thanks ICE hope you have a side play!

I will, just capped the totals and liked the play I listed but I know your local does not offer NCAAB totals but I will have at least 1 side play.

yeah just noticed it moved to 131.5 at 1 book but the others are still currently at 132, I wouldn't expect much move on it but you never know with these college totals and I was confident enough in the 132 with App St home performances on the offensive end and Pacific recent success on the road and offensively so put it in at 132, good luck with the play Profit.

Princeton/Saint Louis UNDER 105 2 units

Wow. Bold move.

[iceminers26]

Wow. Bold move.

I almost played the under 47.5 1H but felt the full game under 105 was a little safer, I'm not expecting much scoring with these 2 clubs.

I'm just worried about a close game with fouls at the end. Heck, 55-51 is an over.

[dskibin2]

I'll be at the SLU game and I sure hope it doesn't go under, will be a brutal one to watch

GL though

[sweethook]

app st. is a great play

[iceminers26]

Yes I contemplated that but feel with playing the full game I'm getting the extra 10 points that is usually included between full game and 1H total and with such a small total I will take all the extra points I can get plus I feel that it gives me more time for those long scoring droughts that we will see in this game.

[iceminers26]

I'll be at the SLU game and I sure hope it doesn't go under, will be a brutal one to watch GL though

I don't plan on watching a minute of this game because I don't see much to it but slow, slow, and slow. Have fun at the game.

[iceminers26]

app st. is a great play

i'm on the over in that one

[THE PROFIT]

good luck bro. My initial leans are appyst-3 and VT-6, probably over on that one also. need to look at more though. I would have had a 4-0 night if not for that fukin double OT killin my under

The under was definitely the right side in that TT game and you should have gone 4-0 but 3-1 is still a nice profitable day. Good luck today.

[tylerguy02]

I don't see the App St. game on 5dimes this morning??? It was there last night though.

Don Best shows the game is today.

[oxiswedloe]

Nevermind. App St's website confirms the game is Thursday, due to unforseen travel circumstances.

[gmoney45]

Definitely Thursday now.

[kboiler]

Any thoughts on Boston Univ. +11.5? BU has some scorers and VCU seems a bit overrated. BU has 4 players averaging double figures.

I'm not playing this game as far as money but in both of my contests I played BU +11.5 and over 148.5, like the over more than the BU side but think they both are good choices. Good luck with what you decide to play.
