    Bet the Farm XII: Valpo +10

    Valpo should win this game straight up. Miami is useless, they will have no fans at this game, it will basically be a neutral court, students are gone, spring break. LOVE this play, will be on ML as well. I cashed in on UMass +290 yesterday, these NIT games are money makers. Lot of unmotivated teams.

    9-2 in BTF selections in the past:

    Also really like Knicks -5.5 tonight, team should be re-energized with D'Antoni gone, plus Portland has been a joke lately and played yesterday.

    Good luck. I like your philosophy and it is probably a good pick but I've watched 3 full Valpo games and them failing the eye test is preventing me from going in on it... and I'm not sure they belong in D1 talent wise. If Miami is motivated they could win by 30 so I'm probably going to lay off.

    Don't know how I forgot to mention this, but Miami's leading scorer (Durand Scott) is not playing.

    Thanks. Miami is the better team but not by much and I think motivation will play a big factor here.

    I wish I wouldn't have seen Valpo play, b/c the signs point to a close game. Maybe I'll make a small play on it and just not check the scores... the last time I bet on valpo they lost by like 20 to Youngstown State looking like women in doing so, that put a sour taste in my mouth

    Scott is definitely out... take Val and the points... Val could win straight up without Scott playing. This is a gift.

    They are shaky on the road, but I think Bryce Drew will have the boys ready to play tonight, while I see Miami coming out flat and unmotivated.

    Scott is 100% not playing.

    Harris did not make the trip to Miami, he will not play. Kenney is suffering from the flu but did make the trip and is a game time decision. They have three other guards in Bogan, Boggs and Buggs who have played a lot of minutes this season. Kenney and Harris don't even normally start, I wouldn't worry.

    I like Valpo also but I wouldn't go as far as to say miami has no motivation for this game.

    Valpo can't hit any shots but game is tied. If the threes start falling, they will win.

    If they stop shooting the 3's they will win the game.

    1-12 from 3 and 7-12 from 2.

    Down 1 at half despite 2-15 from three point range. Winning the rebounding battle.

    Hopefully their coach points out to them that they are outworking Miami down low and chucking 3's is basically giving Miami a free pass.

    Just skimmed the numbers and Valpo doesn't shoot well from 3 away from home so the 2-15 could continue.

    The only reason we might have to sweat this out. Good things happen every time they don't settle for 3's. Who is their coach? He must be a dumbass.

    And just like that they are down 11.

    This team does not belong on a D1 basketball court and I say that regardless of my wager result. Miami is barely trying and is up 11 thanks to Valpo's stupidity.

    Drew: good player, terrible coach

    Stop jacking threes, clowns. Also, how about switching things up to defend Miami's long-range shooting? Bryce Drew is an awful coach.

    4 point lead to 12 in about 30 seconds?

    *sigh* Miami was basically toying with these losers all game.

    Now the D3 women can't even make a free throw.

    This conference should be sent to D3. Butler can join the Big 10.
