Bringing you some basketball knowledge to the land of statisticians here.

Yesterday: 3-1 (went 1-1 in NBA for a 5-2 day)
Last week: 32-18 http://contests.sportsbookreview.com/cross-s...llapart/picks/


Princeton -4 1H
Cinci v. DePaul over 131.5
Xav v. Georgia under 138
UNI -1 (I hate this team, they have burned me, but I like them here. If the under is at 135 or higher then lock it up especially the first half).
Adding Wich St -16

Will possibly add more picks as the day goes on

Adding this game in with a writeup as to why:

SIU is missing 2 starters and a man off the bench. They are still led by long 3&4 position players, but those two can not make up for the rest of the 6 players who have to pick up the slack.

The first time these two teams played SIU shot 52% to 50% WSU. Teague and Cleveland shot 50% (4 of 5 on threes) and SIU lost by 10.
This match they will lose those two and instead of playing 3 forwards, they will play 3 guards with a short bench against a team that rebounds and scores significantly better. WSU has a deep bench and has a strong 4 & 5 play.
To me this one is simple. The only reason I'd be hesitant on half is if WSU goes up early big and kind of lulls around. I hate going in on big lines but a subpar and overmatched team going into the leader in the conference with a short bench and no size. Unless SIU shoots above 60% they are DOA on this one. Second chance points will be rare for them and they are overmatched in every facet of this game.

Wich St -16, with half confidence on Wich St -8.5 at half.

Gl with your plays. I am thinking the Cincy vs. Depaul goes under but still looking at it.
