Hit with Detroit and Seton Hall. Also picked up 6 units on a Detroit future to win the Horizon. Lost on the over in WIll-SDakotaSt, which was a really exciting game, but bizarrely fell way short of the total.
Connecticut / West Virgnia UNDER 131 (6.8 units to win 6.48)
Connecticut shot extremely well yesterday against Depaul, which, this year, is generally an indication that they will be off the mark in their next game. In four games where they shot above their season FG% average and > 40% from three point range, they are shooting 42% from the field, 28% from three point range and averaging 63 points. Jeremy Lamb had a great game yesterday and also, this year, generally indicates an average game next time out. Following a 20+ scoring game, Lamb averages 14 points on 43% shooting from the field and 33% from three point range. With an average Lamb at best, I don't see where Uconn generates enough offense to push this over the total. They shot 55% in their only regular season meeting vs. West Virginia and that game still went under. I expect the Huskies to shoot worse than 55%, and I think we are in for a snoozefest. I'm setting the over/under at 10 on comments relating to both offenses being horrible and neither worthy of the Big Dance.
No interest in the other early games, back in a bit with the rest of the afternooners.

Wazzou won both meetings this season between these two teams, and they shot 50%+ (field), 50%+(three pt) and 77%+(ft) in both contests. Likely a combination os Oregon State's suspect defense and just a solid shooting night for Wazzou. I'll disclaim this bet that if Wazzou shoots 50%+ from the field, it is going to be a loser. But I don't think they will. First off, this is an afternoon game for both teams, so a 1200 start, something abnormal for both teams. Down the stretch, Wazzou shot a combined 37% from the field in their final two games. With the early start and late season shooting woes, I expect the struggles to continue.

This is a Big Play for me as well, Spazzer. Glad to see you on board...

GiL - squaked that one out. Plus the points vs UDub tomorrow
Seton Hall / Louisville OVER 126 (5.5 units to win 5.24)
This matchup appears like a clear cut under for several reasons. Seton Hall off an impressive shooting performance which historically translates into a poor shooting game next time out. And not only is it next time out, but it is next day vs. the top defense in the Big East. The Ville has failed to score 60 points in four straight. All the situational/technical angles point to an under and with an open even lower than the 131 they saw in their regular season meeting, it's hard to argue that this one stays low. But there is offensive talent on both sides and Ville players have made it known they want to pick up the pace and increase the pressure. In the first meeting, the teams combined to go 36-102 from the field, 7-30 from three point land and 32-51 from the line. Just all around horrid shooting across the board. The total ended up 20 points below the 131 line. Tonight we were gifted 5 points and if any of the shooting #'s improve even slightly, the over will come in. I think the Hall got some mojo with their win yesterday, and while Ville is no doubt a tough defense, I think the pressure leads to turnovers and an increased pace.
