Greg Shaker:
PLAY: Kentucky/Stony Brook OVER
RATING: TRIPLE DIME PLAY
We have promised More Brief Thoughts during the Tourney Games and that is what we will deliver here with this play. Kentucky is a Team that NOBODY Wants to face in these games. After a less than stellar start these guys are playing basketball. There are no weak link scorers on the floor and the Offense has gone to Peak Mode with Over 88 PPG their last 5 games and in many cases playing defenses better than Stony Brook. There is no way that the Seawolves can stop the Wildcats from getting good shot opportunities in this game. The Big Questions are whether SB can score and whether we will get enough Pace to get this relatively high number? We say YES, YES. We have seen them score a lot lately, we have seen them score a lot during lined games, they managed 72 verses Vandy earlier this year. This team can hit the 3's and actually shoot them slightly better than KY. Pace for both teams very similar and better than average. This Side Line suggests that we will at least NOT have a very close game at the end which can often slow scoring. We will hope (As Always) for some late fouling. However our number has this one going way over what has been posted so most likely we will not need help with that. You can play 3% here up to 147.5. Further Updates if needed.
Quick Note: Often in these Tournaments Later Totals can be influenced by earlier in the day results. So we could see this number Rise or Lower based on that. This number has been pretty steady and one of the few that have been. But we will see it go somewhere.
