This is one of those games where I am totally confused about the line. Auburn is not a very good basketball team, they play in a dogshit conference, they shoot only 31% from 3, only 70% from the line and really don’t do anything well. Iowa is from a stronger conference and is better than them in pretty much every single offensive category, yet this line is sitting at Iowa +1.5, makes no fucking sense. Auburn is longer and better defensively, but the SEC is so weak that that may be fake. If this were a regular season game i would probably think it’s a trap, but the only thing I can see is that this game is gonna have a very pro auburn crowd, so I am in on Iowa.
Iowa +1.5 (5u) max
7:10: Duke vs Oral Roberts
I MAY BE DEAD WRONG ON THIS PLAY, but here is my rationale. Duke is being EXTREMELY overvalued here and I think they get snuck today. I know everyone is all over their dicks cause they have been on fire for the last month or 2, but I refuse to think they are “BACK” cause they won the shitty ass ACC and edged out Miami who’s dominant big got hurt in the 1st minute of the game. We just saw earlier today what the ACC is capable of, when their best team lost to FUCKING FURMAN (cash it). I love this Oral team, they FIRE threes and hit them at a 37% clip, they score 82.5 pts a game, they shoot almost 80% from the line, and they rebound VERY WELL for a mid major. I think they dispose of the overrated Dukies and should keep this close at worst, BUT I see this going one of two ways….Oral takes them to the wire, or I am dead wrong on Duke and they run them out the gym. I am confident in the former, and loading into Oral.
Oral Roberts +6.5 (5u) max
Oral Roberts +225 (2u)
7:35: Northwestern vs Boise
This is my favorite bet of the day, especially after watching the Mountain West continue their NCAA Tourney spiral (0-11 last 11). Boise goes 5 deep and is going to run into a NW team who prides themselves on defense, and has a killer like Boo Buie. This should be the Boo Buie show today vs a Boise team I think is very overrated. I like NW to nor only win this game but win it pretty convincingly.
