    Take the dogs in the NIT against teams that didn't make the tourney
    Been using this strategy for a few years now and the teams that get snubbed for the NCAA tourney usually don't care about the NIT and most likely lose outright. I remember syracuse not caring at all last year lost at home. Tonight ok state I'm looking at to fade they are a 10.5 favorite over fla gulf coast. Either they want to prove the committee messed up or they come out and don't care. Usully the latter. Thoughts are welcomed

        The big names will try

        The home court does not make this a good strategy , NCAA tournament the neutral court under dog is much better

            I agree to an extent. Be careful though...some teams are having to travel cross country, and play 48 hours after the bracket was announced. Rider to Oregon and SE Louisiana to Saint Marys are rough trips on that short of notice.

              actually home court makes it better... you should fade if you disagree

                Heard on Sirius XM that the Louisville players took a vote and voted not to participate in NIT. Then the university officials came and said yes you have to play the NIT.

                  I forgot Wagner to Baylor and Nc Asheville to USC....NIT Committee did these regular season champs no favors.

                    NKU looks forward to these in-state games against the big boys. They gave UK a good run in last years tournament. NKU will have people in the stands.

                      lets see what happens

                        I see the market is wise to this angle... Ville should be a 12 pt chalk on home floor - but only 8

                        I still think the angle works. Motivation with one team vs lack thereof can mean 10-20 pt swing

                                A few dogs were outright winning at halftime and then proceeded to get destroyed in the second half failing to cover

                                  UNC Asheville was the only dog to cover the closing number. A few would have beat the original number if you grabbed them on Monday.

                                  Very chalky day.

                                    I don't think the number mattered to Brace. Didn't he say in another thread that he doesn't play spreads, he just picks the winner?

                                      I havent a clue who brace is....pretty certain I've ever crossed paths with him. I was just answering phinfan's question if any dogs covered.

                                                Hyprocrite. dude says take the dogs in the nit tourney then only one even covers the spread and he tries to backtrack and say not his picks. where is the player's advocate on this? this is especially ironic because you are in twizzle and other's pick threads "holding them accountable" yet offer no accountability yourself

                                                  Are you surprised phin? This guy is a fukin clown. I am starting to think this is kidpokker. Just let time go by and when his record ends up going south, and we all know it will, this handle will also be gone.

                                                      The home court does not make this a good strategy , NCAA tournament the neutral court under dog is much better
                                                      Yah. I played my alma mater last night Okla state -11. And have them in SBRs dble up NIT futures contest. 8:1. Not sure though. Notre Dame the fav to win NIT 3:1 looked very good last nite, like they are taking it serious. Although they lost the -22 in a no time left 3 pointer against them, winning by 21. South Cal had major issues last nite winning in dble ot. But their best player is not playing nit as the nba draft is upcoming, and he wont risk injury for nit. ** I will say that #1 seed USC played their heart out though and refused to lose that game** without their best player though proly hopeless for them against NIT top seeds.

                                                        I think Lafayette will beat LSU straight up and Temple will beat Penn State straight up. Both smaller school teams are on the road, but they are playing in their home state. Dogs bark tonight.

                                                          Temple such a weird team. If you solely look at good wins, they have to be top 25 or so in the country. Beat Auburn, South Carolina and Clemson (with Grantham) on a neutral court, @ SMU and vs Wichita. Butttt......then you see those head scratching losses. Lost by double digits at home to Tulane, by 33 at Cincy, by 21 at home vs HOuston and by 18 at Tulsa. Not to mention non conference losses to Lasalle and GW. WHich Temple team shows up?

                                                                the title of the post is "Take the dogs in the NIT against teams that didn't make the tourney". That's a clear plan and following that advice would have caused someone to go 1-8 just taking the spreads assuming they didn't waste any ml's too. That is horrible and way worse than any of the people's whose threads you comment on. Add those to your 3 winners of which was a ml on a 4 point favorite that won by 1 pt) and you are 4-8 and down more than 4 units. Doesn't look like you're headed towards the promised land
