Sunday Selection: 5 Dimes on the NC State Wolfpack - The Writeup
Brandon Lang Sunday's Selection .... NOTE:
The lord giveth and the lord taketh away.
In cashing in the 15 dime winner on Oregon State Thursday night I noted how it took 2 free throws with 2 seconds to go to get the cover.
And a 74% free throw shooter in Jared Cunningham is the man who steps to the plate for me and got it done.
I talked about how many times I haven't gotten those free throws, how one miss or even two misses have cost me more times than I care to remember and it was nice to get a win on Oregon State.
Then 2 days later Arizona gives it right back.
I get a 74% free throw shooter who makes both, but with 49 seconds in the first OT Nick Wise - 88% free throw shooter Nick Wise - steps to the line to push the lead back to 6.
He misses both.
And there goes your 30 dime release right down the drain with an 88% free throw shooter. That my friends is how fragile these games can be some time.
No worries. 3 out of 4 winning days on the books and if I step up and deliver back to back winning days here today and Monday, it will be winning week # 2 in a row.
Nothing wrong with that here in March. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Just have to step up today and get it done. Simple as that.
Let's go.
5 DIME - NC STATE WOLFPACK
Like what I have seen from NC State the last few games.
Yes, they come off a 12 point loss at Virginia Tech but it was their effort in the 2 games prior that puts me on them today.$
I'm talking about a 14 point home win over Wake Forest, and a 71-66 win at Miami as a 7 point dog.
This is the first meeting between these 2 this year and considering the 4-6 road mark of BC, the home team is the play.
The Eagles come off the 13 point home win over Virginia, but on the road in ACC play they are 1-6 SU and with this line being as low as it is, the winner probably covers.
That winner is going to be N.C. State.
You add the fact the series favorite is 4-0 ATS last 4, and N.C. State 11-4 ATS their last 15 following an ATS loss and it's all Wolfpack here on Sunday.
Hometeam rolls.
