HOBO-BILL'S ONE-A-DAY

Brown University Bears -6.5

Here we have a matchup of some really bad teams, I mean bottom-dwellers here.  And when I say bad, I mean really bad.  More so on Dartmouth’s part.  How bad can a team really be, well for one, Dartmouth is college basketball’s second lowest scoring team at 51.7 points per game.  They are also last in NCAAB in shooting efficiency, 3^rd from last in effective field goal percentage.  They can’t shoot the damn ball to save their own lives.  I mean, come on, you are a DIV-I college basketball team, have some pride.  There isn’t a player on the team that is averaging anything higher than 8 point per game and the team as a whole is getting outscored by their opponents by 13 PPG, and this jumps to 21 PPG on the road. Their go to guy (he who has taken the most shots) David Ruffel has a Field Goal Percentage of 36.8%, they lack any sort of motivation to win and above all else, are called “The Big Green”.  The big green what?

Now Brown isn’t that great of a team either and is probably looking forward to playing Dartmouth today.  Brown is coming off 5 straight losses, the last 2 on the road, and are returning home to play a team they know they can beat.  They actually have an offensive weapon in Senior Forward Matt Mullary who is averaging 15 PPG while shooting 55% from the floor.

Again, coming home after two road losses in a row is a benefit while losing two at home then playing on the road (Dartmouth), is not the greatest of places to find yourself, even if you are a Big Green.

There isn’t really too much to say about these teams other than that they don’t score too much and that Brown is still better than someone in the conference.  The 6.5 points that Dartmouth are getting are a gift from someone.  Not nearly enough though as I believe this game is won by Brown by double digits.  Brown actually has the ability to score if they were prompted to and Dartmouth is just plain ‘old bad, not Michael Jackson bad, but Carl Lewis singing the National Anthem bad.

Dartmouth College’s motto is “The voice of one crying in the wilderness”………

Yeh, we hear you…

Yale for the longest time has had their number…they are an ATS god when it comes to throwing down Ivy style with the brains at Harvard…..Briefly looking into the numbers though, I believe Harvard is the better team…I’m not betting on this game, but if I were to research it some more, I’d probably lean to Harvard as they have played more impressive ball more consistently than that of Yale…..

Good Luck My Friend with your picks....
