ROOT RESERVE
CBB VEGAS STRIP MOVE HUGE BLOWOUT ROUT
Handicapper: Wayne RootLeague: NCAAB
Competition: Arkansas vs Lsu
Time: Saturday, January 15, 02:00 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Lsu -6.5 (-110) (Play MGM)
Rotation #: 628
Analysis:
Root Reserve—-LSU Arkansas is coming into the contest losers in 5 of their last 7 games. LSU is a much more defensive oriented team as they rank 1st in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency. LSU has picked up 3 straight wins including wins over #16 Kentucky and #18 Tennessee after suffering their 1st loss at #11 Auburn. The SEC is arguably the strongest conference in the country this season and Arkansas is seeing it 1st hand as they are just 1-3 in conference play and sit near the bottom of the standings. LSU has gone 3-1 with the only loss being to top seeded Auburn and are in the 3rd position in the standings. LSU will drive this Arkansas team crazy with their defense. They have the top adjusted defensive efficiency rating in the country and for good reason, they have already played some of the top teams in the country and have had success. They are going to put the clamps on this Arkansas team that is just not at the level they believed they would be at this season. The Tigers love to control the pace and make opponents use a lot of time on the shot clock and eventually forcing tough and contested shots. This will be the same outcome Saturday as the Arkansas team will not be prepared or have the offensive talent to stick with this LSU squad.
ROOT Pinnacle
CBB PINNACLE CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR
Handicapper: Wayne RootLeague: NCAAB
Competition: Colorado vs Arizona State
Time: Saturday, January 15, 10:00 pm ET
Bet Type: Point Spread
Pick: Colorado +1.5 (-110) (William Hill)
Rotation #: 801
Analysis:
Pinnacle—-Colorado Colorado enters its fifth conference meeting this year with an 11-4 record after winning four of five contests. The Buffaloes recently defeated Washington 78-64 before falling 76-55 to No. 6-ranked Arizona. I like teams losing that first game prior to Saturday’s matchup. They excel and focus more for today’s game. Arizona State is 5-8 heading into its third Pac-12 meeting this year. The Sun Devils have dropped seven of their last ten outings, including a 78-50 Jan. 3 setback vs. Cal. Colorado enters its fifth conference meeting this year with an 11-4 record after winning four of five contests. The Buffaloes recently defeated Washington 78-64 before falling 76-55 to No. 6-ranked Arizona. Arizona State is 5-8 heading into its third Pac-12 meeting this year. The Sun Devils have dropped seven of their last ten outings, including a 78-50 Jan. 3 setback vs. Cal. The Sun Devils are ranked among college basketball's worst teams in several categories. DJ Horne (13.5) leads a roster featurung its share of underachieving top-100 recruits. Considering ASU's deep offensive struggles, I would've taken Colorado pre-Omnicron at any reasonable spread. Now, with the Sun Devils largely inactive since Dec. 22, I'll lock the Buffaloes in with confidence. Although the sports world is full of colorful outcomes, unless they have the game of their underwhelming season, Arizona State should struggle when matched with credible Pac-12 competition in their long-awaited return to active play. It shouldn't be pretty, but Colorado will win ATS this Sat. vs. ASU.
Got this guy with the other two Root picks, don't know much about him.
