::Friday:: 11/13 (50-21-0) +26.9 units

3-2 yesterday. Great basketball for a Friday today. Buckle up.

Georgetown Hoyas +4.5

This is the Hoyas first road spot, so a little weary on that, but they hold a few advantages that make this worth it for me.  First, on the inside, Iwuchukwu is a 7'1" mountain that can erase everything at the rim.  Brad Brownells offense runs through the interior, and that's going to be a problem today.  Jaland Lowe will be the best player on the floor, whether its through his scoring, or his creating.  Lastly, Clemson hasn't played anyone yet.  They have 3 wins over Stetson, American and North Dakota.  Gtown has already been tested, and passed that test by beating Maryland. 

Butler Bulldogs -2.5

Good spot here for Butler.  Coming off a game where they got absolutely boat-raced by Boise St, a game they were never in, while Pitt is coming off a big in state rivalry win vs Penn St. This is Pitts first true road game as well, and Hinkle Fieldhouse is no stranger to some Friday night magic. The Panthers also have Villanova on deck at home, so maybe a little sleepy spot too for them.  

I've got a bunch of shit to do today but wanted to get these in.  Should have more by 5pm central.  GL today everyone. 

Did he leave his eraser at home when they played Delaware st ?  Joking aside love your picks and this game wasn't even on my Rader and after a Lil digging I'm going to play the over. Not sure who wins but don't think this game will have a problem going over. Thank you for posting 

@STLTarHeels

 Thank you.

 Good luck today STLTarHeels! 

@STLTarHeels

As always Thanks for you picks!  Respectfully,  im going to stay away from Georgetown/Clemson game!  Even though Clemson has cup cake schedule, I see them covering spread in tight game! I don't trust Georgetown on the road, especially after struggling to beat Delaware St.  They were behind majority of game!  Clemson always tough at home too!

gl today 

Record is just absolutely fucking absurd at this point! Great work! 

Good luck STL 

  Love to read your writing bro. I am on board with you. Let's rideeeeeee

@coidive

 I got your venmo homie, I appreciate you. 

   Good stuff! Nice w/ups like in bases.

Chattanooga Mocs +1.5

The Mocs have two DI games under their belt and both were in P5 gyms.  They went to Louisville and hung with a very good basketball team, and fought back from 20 down at the break to win the second half and lose by 14.  Then they went to Penn St and damn near won, losing by 4.  They are so much more tested already than Elon, who has wins over Columbia and UNC-Greensboro.  Their defensive numbers look ok right this second, but that's due to who they've played.  Under Billy Taylor, their defense historically really struggles and I think this Mocs team, that starts three freshman, are just more talented than the Phoenix team. 

Ohio Bobcats +18.5

This isn't the Purdue Boilermakers of years past.  They have a real problem at the guard position.  Losing Braeden Smith and Fletcher Loyer have left a massive hole in the back court for Matt Painter, and he has yet to figure out a solution.  They still have a monster inside in 7'4" Daniel Jacobsen but he's no Zach Edey.  Ohio on the other hand has a really good guard.  REALLY good.  Jackson Pavelezke can shoot it from the outside, or get the bucket, and gets fouled at a great rate.  Purdue has already dropped a "buy" game at home this year, and while I think they win this one, I don't think it's by more than 15.

Long Island Sharks +12.5

The Sharks played very poorly in their last game, and I think they bounce back. Towson locked them down, but they will do that to lots of people this year. LIU played Seton Hall to 7 points, and La Salle to 8.  They are no stranger to playing close games.  This is a cross city showdown, and LIU is certainly "little brother" in the match up, so they come in with a chip on their shoulder, after playing poorly and give Fordham (who only beat Iona by 6 last time out) all they can handle. 

Georgia/North Carolina Over 164

This isn't the Tar Heels of past either.  New head coach Mike Malone has yet to make Tar Heel nation a believer, but he hasn't lost a game yet.  But UNC isn't rebounding the basketball, and that is something that we ALWAYS have done.  They got outrebounded by Wyoming last time out.  They will likely get outrebounded tonight cause Mike White teams do rebound well.  They also have a lot of experience, so heading to the Dean Dome shouldn't ruffle many feathers.  Both offenses look fine, but Malone and his NBA brand of ball doesn't really focus on the defensive side of the ball, and Georgia can fill it up.  They will get extra looks off misses, and could win this game, but I like the total more than Georgia and the points. 

UCONN Huskies -11.5

I don't think John Diebler is a good coach.  Had to get that off my chest.  He's completely out of his league in this one.  They lost on a neutral floor to BYU by 11.  They are coming into the lions den for this one.  UCONN hasn't played a game in Hartford yet this year, it's second home, so this place will be packed and UCONN should easily dispatch of the Buckeyes by 20+.

7pm and later to come in a bit

 You are very welcome. 
let's gooooo 

@STLTarHeels

 St. L......BOL with all your Fri. action buddy....

have a profitable weekend.....indy

@STLTarHeels

 Bol stay hot

BOL tonight heels .. thanks for posting 

Maryland Terrapins +5.5

Maryland didn't look good in their last game when losing at Gtown, and Virginia has looked like a fucking wagon.  The number is pretty telling here.  UVA heads to a true road gym for the first time, with 3 sophomores and a freshman in the starting 5.  This is also a revenge spot from last year, where Virginia won on their home floor by 8.  Buzz Williams starts 3 seniors and they will pressure the UVA youth into turnovers.

Samford Bulldogs +1.5

I'm betting this cause the line makes zero sense.  Wright St has looked incredible to start the year with wins over Air Force by 31, FAU by 26 and then @ Toledo by 8.  Now just a bucket fav at Samford, who has one DI game under their belt, a 9 point loss to UNLV???  Not today Satan. 

Auburn Tigers +2.5

Arizona travels east for the first time this year, and it to The Jungle, one of the toughest places in America to play as a visitor.  Not many places get as rowdy as McKale Center. Auburn has an experienced point guard and that carries a lot of weight for me. He has yet to turn the ball over this year, and they've played App St who is a VERY good defensive team. Arizona is definitely very good, but if you take away their interior, they are going to struggle to score.  Did I mention they host UCONN next??

Seton Hall/Alabama Under 156.5

Alabama can score 90 tonight, and this should still stay under.  I don't know how Seton Hall plans to score against these Bama athletes.  They are just going to have to get red hot from outside, cause the inside will be off limits for them this evening.  The Pirates don't play at a pace that sees games get this high, and they play good enough defense to keep the Tide from running completely wild.  

Chicago St Cougars +16.5

The Cougs are a notorious bad program as of recent years. But this is only year two for Landon Bussie and they are already taking steps in the right direction.  They have won twice already in this young season, both on the road.  San Diego has a head coach that is losing his head coaching virginity, and so far...not so great.  Took OT to get by Tarleton St on their home floor, and then lost in Boulder which was expected.  But this team shouldnt be favored over anyone by this many points at this time.  Especially against a team that is probably riding pretty damn high right now. 

TarHeels thankyou for all you put into this much appreciated !!!! 

@STLTarHeels

i think you’re right about diebler haha. good luck buddy
