Tuesday (3/22) NIT and CIT games

**HoulihansTX** · 03-22-11, 02:08 AM

San Fran/ Santa Clara UNDER

I treat multiple meetings between teams, like inter-divisional NFL games. I tend to bet the under, as the numbers of meetings grow within the season. Playoff basketball is predominately played in the half-court. Possession mean much more now that its one, or done time.

I agree with the Kent St. +10 play. How many times has Colorado been double digit favs, and how many times have they covered???

**shopbar picks** · 03-22-11, 02:50 AM

love the ohio pick. Better conf Play. As for san fran. agree with houli. Its hard to beat the same team 3x's. But sf won by at least 6 both x's. And dont like the fatigue and altitude factor for kent in colorado. Just my opinions

**Robust** · 03-22-11, 03:33 AM

agreed with kent.. +10 is alot of points.. take 'em!

**CollegeOverUnder** · 03-22-11, 03:43 AM

I think Colorado can actually cover that number ...

**Vaioice** · 03-22-11, 04:28 AM

why mess with the side, Over is the play here.

For a very short card Kent State and Buffalo look like very good plays.

**Jonah** · 03-22-11, 09:48 AM

Kent v Colorado is a tough one. I like how Colorado is playing, but don't get too excited about the Cal game. Cal was down a few men.

Kent State on the other hand has been doing a lot of traveling lately. They might not get off the plane.

**flipside2469** · 03-22-11, 09:52 AM

SF is hot right now coming off a big win at Hawaii on Sat. This is a conference play and looking at the previous games, I have to say the under. SF for sure....and the under.

Ohio and the points.

I also think that Colorado is wanting to prove a point not getting a ticket to the dance....very hard to win in their building. The crowd there is insane.

Under 67.5 1st half

IN last 5 meetings between SF and SC, highest total combined score was 61 at the half. Low was 45. Last 5 games t between SF and SC has stayed under the first half total. In all those games, the 2nd half went over the 2nd half total.

Take first half total to go under 67.5. IF the total combined score is 60 or less and I would take the 2nd half to go over the 2nd half total.

I like this. Let's do it!

**dfberger23** · 03-22-11, 12:09 PM

5dimes is now offering Kent State +10.5 (-105)...gotta take it.

Buffalo has also moved to 8.5 and San Francisco to 2. Still thinking about how to play the CIT games tonight.

**Crayzee** · 03-22-11, 12:21 PM

i like the ohio play
dont like kent-colo always has tremendous advantage with the altitude
dont trust small favorites- 2

**zanman822** · 03-22-11, 12:43 PM

Buffalo and Ohio may be the plays tonight. But Colorado at home isnt bad either.

**jjgold** · 03-22-11, 01:02 PM

I took a 4 team teaser instead, all home teams.

**Regul8er** · 03-22-11, 01:04 PM

JJ....are you getting close to being out of the red yet?

**zephyr** · 03-22-11, 01:07 PM

I have a ML parlay, with Colorado and USF. Gets about +1.06. Home court advantage is huge in these "other" tournaments.

That was proven in the last round.

**eatdust11** · 03-22-11, 02:21 PM

I took Kent/Colorado over...

**zephyr** · 03-22-11, 02:25 PM

In the last round of the NIT, four of eight home teams won against the spread. Not great, but not terrible. Yesterday, in all three tournaments, that number was 6 of 8. I have not done any research on this, so beware, but generally I like to be on home teams in these tournaments. Colorado and USF are decent home teams, and I won't be betting against them ML or ATS today. But who knows? Good luck however you play it.

**alienware** · 03-22-11, 03:10 PM

i love ohio with the points and buffallo with the points...the hawks beat the bulls also

**Inkwell77** · 03-22-11, 03:41 PM

From the stats I have looked at it is statistically difficult for a college team to beat another team (or cover for that matter) with about equal talent and coaching three times throughout the season.
I loved San Francisco in this game until I found out they had won the previous 2 meetings. At the same time though Santa Clara did lose to Saint Marys in all three meeting this season so they have shown the ability to lose to the same team 3 times.

Kent State doesn't have any bad road losses. Lost to Cleveland State, UAB, Florida, Morehead State, Akron, Buffalo, Miami (OH) and Drexel. Those are all respectable losses. They won road games at Fairfield and St. Mary's to get to this game, they are not a bad road team.

Ohio lost at St. Bonaventure, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Western Michigan and Miami (OH) while notably winning at Akron, Winthrop, Kent State and Marshall. Not a bad road team at all.

Buffalo has a few bad road losses but also won at Cornell, Ohio and won two road games to get to this game.

**dfberger23** · 03-22-11, 04:51 PM

Going to tease Ohio +10 with Buffalo +13.5. Also going to play Ohio +200, think they win tonight.

**dfberger23** · 03-22-11, 08:26 PM

Ohio and Buffalo games didn't go too well.

Kent State going back and forth with Colorado, lets hope this continues.

Still undecided on a play for the late game.

**dfberger23** · 03-22-11, 08:43 PM

Half unit on San Fran -.5 1st half.

Thoughts?

**dfberger23** · 03-22-11, 09:52 PM

San Fran was up by double digits and then almost went down before half time. 46-45 at half.

Going to play 2nd half over 80 for a unit.

**BigTenBets10** · 03-22-11, 10:04 PM

anyone have a live stream of this game???? cant find it anywhere! I am looking at the stupid espn gamecast, I took USF -2 go Dons! they blew a big lead there to end the half!

**dfberger23** · 03-22-11, 11:04 PM

There was no stream for the game. Don't understand why these games aren't televised.

2nd half over covered easily.

Went 3-3 today on NIT and CIT games, up 1.8 units.
