    Bradley vs. Wright St
    This game is Tuesday night and I cannot wait til the line comes out. I really like Bradley laying probably one or two points. Bradley has most players from last season's squad that gave Wright St a beat down. Final Score was: Bradley 88 Wright St 49. This game was over at halftime as Bradley built up a 40-21 lead. In that game Bradley shot 13 for 24 from three point range and held Wright State to 3 for 18 shooting from three point range. Bradley has Crouch and Ruffin as returning back court starters. In this game last season, Bradley had 26 assists to 7 assists for Wright State. Bradley is coming off a tough loss to Michigan St 66-61. Bradley lead this game by 9 points in the 2nd half. They did collapse to a very good Michigan St team. Wright State is coming off a major upset of a ranked Butler team on Saturday night and the final score was not pretty 43-42. A team that comes off a victory like that is due for a let down. Wright St likes to a play a slow down pace type of game. Bradley likes to run and and play more of an uptempo game. On paper, Bradley sounds like a solid lock at half time and the game. Does anyone else have any insight for this game on Tuesday night.

    Two good teams. I liked Bradley's effort against Michigan State -- a team I think is going to go deep into the NCAA tournament. But, I also really like Wright State's upset of Butler. Regardless of the score, or how it was done, that was a huge win. Butler was on fire going into that game. Wright State shut them down.

    I am going to take a closer look at this when the line comes out, but I can tell you that if Wright State is more than about a two point dog, I will give them a real close look.

        Bradley is a different team on the road, and Wright St. is a different team at home...line actually opened at 1.5 at pinny today...

          Don't put to much emphasis on the Butler upset, Wright State seems to have good success against Butler no matter what the circumstances. Maybe they just have their number.


          I'm taking Bradely if the line is 3 or less.

              tab,

              You make some good points here. I thought the line would be more like -3...which is probably where it will end up. I think it might be the best bet on the board tonight. GL!

                I've come around on this one. Wright State has lost too much from last season. Bradley has some serious guards, with lots of experience (and, more and more, I am seeing the value of experienced guards). Bradley will score too fast for Wright State. Bradley's the bet.

                  i love bradley here betting it hard...bradley lost the first game of the season to a team they shouldve beaten but the other two losses were very reasonable and close...vanderbilt is ranked 20th now and mich st is a great team

                  that being said...ml bradley

                    You guys almost convinced me to change my mind, but I am sticking to my gut feeling and taking Wright State +2 tonight. Good luck everybody.

                      It's okay to fade when everyone is on the same side. Infact, that usually works. Thanks for keeping up these Best Bet threads. I always like to see how everyone did...and I am too lazy to figure it out for myself. GL tonight!

                          I don't usually bet basketball but the last time I did, I followed a team everyone was on in one of these threads and got beat. I learned my lesson so I'll sit back and see who's right this time.

                              Yes, an often underappreciated factor in CBB, especially early in the year, and especially with certain kinds of teams against certain kinds of teams.

                              Still, on this one, I'm not even close to betting either side, although it will be interesting to see how it turns out.
