    When does the CBI and CIT start?

    So we have the Big Dance (technically) and NIT have already started, but what about CBI and CIT? When do they start?

    I think the CIT doesn’t exist anymore.

    It was replaced by “The Basketball Classic” in 2022, I believe. The Kung Flu killed the CIT Tourney, it never bounced back after the COVID cancellations.

    For 2023, The Basketball Classic was cancelled as well.

    As far as I know, this is the situation.

    Tomorrow: Eastern Kentucky (#8) @ Indiana State (#1) -5.5

    Looking at these teams, the greatest difference between them is on offense. They both play at a high tempo, rebounded well against their conference competition, and know how to stifle opposing offenses. However, Indiana State is typically efficient, hitting almost half of their shots and taking advantage of free throws. Eastern Kentucky is not, only hitting 43.5% of their field goals and missing nearly 35% of their free throws. Expect Indiana State's offense to make the difference in this one when they beat the spread.

    I've been waiting for the market to blink on San Jose St.

    I think it's finally happening.

    I am looking to counter the move and possibly get a Radford +6.5 or 7 and Charlotte moneyline two pick parlay going.

    My Forecasts today:

    Eastern Kentucky to cover, Indy State to win by 4. Right on the spread, wrong on the moneyline.

    Southern Utah to win by 9 and cover. Wrong on the spread, right on the moneyline.

    Radford to win outright 70-68.

    Charlotte to win and cover 77-69.

    The non predicitve public gauge shows San Jose St winning 66-63 and Charlotte winning 72-66.

    I also took Radford +6.5 (-105) by itself.

    Not really the best when I see them lead early.

    The sharks are out.

    Not sure I like the texture of this halftime market, but then again, this play was going against the market a bit.

    This could be a close one on the spread.

    Pet the shark with me, SBR...

    Actually see some encouraging second half trades now.

    About 8 minutes left for bettors to get down.

    Turn that shit up...

    Here come the Radford bettors.

    It's my belief they know what's up.

    That Radford +4 2nd half starting to look good. Too bad I fukkin passed.



    Don't want to make the same mistake I did with Marquette yesterday.

    Leggoo Radford.

    Ok, so that parlay pays out +1.82 units.

    If Radford can cover, I have equity with a two pick.

    I usually reserve trading equity (short term mentality) for the 3 and 4 picks, like yesterday, but at least we're working with a possible example.

    I can get Wisc Mil for +200, with a lot of +190s out there. But what we really want is better than +225. With a two pick, depending on why you made it or how it's constructed, it's usually not worth the vig over the long term to sell back.

    That's important to remember.

    Of course info and circumstances can change. But let's not think long term. Let's think short term.

    Hopefully, when Radford looks to be a reality, we can see pressure on Charlotte.

    If so, with the success brought on by the Radford trades, we might even get to sell back a two pick.

    This is why I made the two pick and this is the purpose for which it was constructed. If we hold, we hold. It jsut means the market wasn't as felxible as we had hoped.

    For now we need Radford to do the job.

    So let's update my Forecasts from the earlier post...

    My Forecasts today:

    Eastern Kentucky to cover, Indy State to win by 4. Right on the spread, wrong on the moneyline.

    Southern Utah to win by 9 and cover. Wrong on the spread, right on the moneyline.

    Radford to win outright 70-68. Right on the spread, right on the moneyline.

    Charlotte to win and cover 77-69............

    _______________________

    Oh shit, there's only one other combination left, and it's RED, RED

    Has the market moved like expected? Do I need make a move here?

    Do we have new, valuable information that changes things?

    So far we haven't seen the market move we'd like, but there is an hour left of pre game trading. I have seen some trades in both directions.

    Slowly, patiently, we wait.

    I gotta go with the trend of underdogs barking in the CBI quarters.

    Milwaukee +5 v. Charlotte

    Here comes that money on the Charlotte moneyline.

    PPH's getting hit.

    But there's some early counters.

    Let's see if it bleeds into the broader markets.

    I'm not sure we get the full bang I was looking for. Which makes some sense since it's only the CBI.
