Hi Guys
Conference tourneys start in exactly 2 days and can't be happier. I'm completely psyched, and this is where I traditionally clean up. All bets are between 1 and 5 units.
5Dimes has put up futures for the first two tourneys. I've already hit some lines, and will post all my picks in this thread as I go along.
Liberty to win Big South +2000 (0.5 units)- When looking for a surprise winner, you want to find teams that are rolling going into the tournament- Liberty has underachieved all year, but finally got it together to end the year- They finished the conference 9-3 after starting 0-6. Jesse Sanders is the best PG in the league and he has really stepped it up at the end of his senior year. They have a tough matchup vs. UNC-Asheville in the semis if they make it that far, but this team has all the makings to make a run at the title as the 5 seed.
UNC-Asheville is the big favorite as -200 and I really don't see any value in them. They are the best team, but I put it at around even money to win it. The top seeds did not win the last two years, and I just don't see them as unbeatable at all.
Detroit to win Horizon +800 (1 Unit)- Detroit was the preseason favorites and dealt with tons of problems all year, but are smoking hot coming into the tournament, winning 10 out of there last 13 conference games. They are the best team, and I will take them over the two favorites who were stumbling at the end of the year. I would put more then 1 unit, but they have a tough draw- Looking at potentially Butler, Valparaiso and Cleveland State.
Cleveland and Valparaiso both played baddd down the stretch. Cleveland State played no defense at the end of the year, and finished winning just 2 out of the final 7, and they lost twice to Valpo. Valpo struggled in 4 of there last 5 games and quite frankly, don't trust them. Butler is Butler... but they are very mediocre this year, and there's no runs in them this year.
Will have more futures and more picks as the week continues.
