Aloha Gang. Well, last week we had a successful run which put us up +55 Units for the Week just in the hoops alone. Today, we start a new run for this week. Lets start it off with a winning Day for all. Lets Rock!
6 Unit Play on:
AF -1
-This selection with the Falcons, is simply based on the numbers and AF's discipline play. Here are the numbers. AF has a deeper bench than Unlv. AF is 8-1 in their last 3 games off a win against a Conf rival. Currently, AF is 6-1 when playing against a team with a winning record. AF is 7-2 SU and 4-2 ATS on the road. They are averaging 58.6 ppg and 46% from the field, while holding its opponents to just 49 ppg. In AF last 5 games, they have gone 5-0 SU and ATS, and has also increased their scoring average to 65 ppg and their shooting percentage from the field to 56%. During this time, they have also still held their opponents to ONLY 44 ppg and 42% from the field. Unlv in the last 5 games have gone 2-3 SU and ATS, but eventhough they have stepped up their Offensive production abit, they have played weaker on the Defensive end, allowing their opponents in this time to average 77.2 ppg and shoot 44%FG. This is up from their previous of holding opponents to 65 ppg and 42%FG. Other numbers I in favor of AF are: AF is #1 in Scoring Def, Scoring Margin, FG%, 3 pt FG% Def, T/O Margin, Assit/TO Ratio, and 3 pts made per a game with 9. Unlv in this last category is ranked 7th draining 5.7 three's per game. Also , AF is 2-0 ATS at Unlv the last 3 seasons and 3-1 ATS in all games against Unlv. AF is simply a better shooting team in FG%, FT%, and 3 PT%, than Unlv is. Lastly, AF has only allowed its opponents to score over 40+ pts just 4 times in 17 games this year. This type of patient Off along with AF stinginess on Defense, has been successful because they are a discipline ball club. Today again, they will dictate and take control of the ball game , disrupting Unlv's run and gun type of play. I am backing AF until they lose, I dont see it happening tonight.
4 Unit Plays on:
Miami Ohio -2(LOSE BY 3pts SU- Dam Miami O let an 8pt lead get away w/ a few minutes left in game, and lose by 3)
Georgia Southern -4(PUSH- after being up dd's, Fvck Me)
Idaho St +8(LOSE -another team up by dd and end up losing by dd)
-Miami Ohio and Ohio are the two worst scoring Off's teams in the Conf. But Miami Ohio is #1 in the Conf in Scoring Def holding Opponents to ONLY 61 ppg. Ohio is #4 in Scoring Def giving up 68.2 ppg. Miami Ohio has 4 returning starters and a deeper bench than Ohio. Currently, Miami O is also 5-1 after holding its opponents to Under 60 ppg. They are 5-1 as a favorite and 2-0 on the road as Favs of 3pts or less. Miami O is also 4-1 ATS on the road this year. In their last 5 games, they have gone 4-1 SU and ATS, and 6-2 SU and ATS in Conf games. They have also during this time, improved their Offensive scoring output averaging a higher ppg and FG%, with 65.8 ppg and 42% FG. They have as well stepped up on their Defensive play, holding Opponents to only a 57 ppg and 37% FG average. Ohio, on the other hand, in the last 5 games has simply struggled Defensively allowing their Opponents to average 75 ppg and 46% FG, as well as going 2-3 SU during this stretch. Today, it is an easy decision to back the Team with the Stingier Def, and team who doesnt seem to be just playing out the rest of the schedule.
-This line to me is low enough for me to take a GS team that is on a tear. This year , they have gone 7-3 SU and 6-1 ATS on the road. Here they average 79.7 ppg and shoot 45% from the field. In their last 5 games though, they have gone 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS. In Conf games they are 7-1 SU and ATS. Appl St in their last 5 games though have struggled Defensively going 1-4 SU and ATS. Defensively is where they have been lacking during this span of games. Appl St has been giving up an average of 81 ppg and 46.5% FG to its Opponents. Stat wise in this one, GS is ranked near the top in almost every category, whereas Appl St rates mid to bottom of the Conf. I have to back GS with their 4 returning starters and deeper bench in this one today. Also, Appl St may as well be showing signs like Ohio of just playing out the rest of the schedule, this seems evident due to their lack of motivation to play good Defense. Take the better team.
-Based on the last 5 games, Idaho St have gone 3-2 SU, and has played better ball Offensively, raising their scoring average in ppg to its highest at 79.2 ppg and 49% FG. Idaho, on the other hand, have gone 2-3 SU, but in this span, they have simply struggled BADLY Offensively averaging a season low average of 60 ppg and a dismal 39% FG. Idaho St is a simply a much better shooting team in FG% and 3 pt FG% wise. They do have a weak Def, but with the struggles of Idaho Offensively, Idaho St's Offense can probably win this one. I cannot see why this bottom dweller in Idaho with all their Offensive woes, being favored by 8 pts. Well, like I said before take the gift and dont question it. Again , take the POINTS.
3 Unit Plays on:
Syracuse +12.5(LOSE)
-Just to many points for this game for top position. In this one I see a even matchup in the front and backcourts between the two. The advantage I see with UConn is they have a deeper bench. Syracuse is not a bad road team and Coach Beyheim will have his team ready in this one. Take the generous POINTS.
-Gang, I will possibly have one more play to add to this card later, still need to get more info. You can check back later, or just play these plays, as I feel good about this card I put up today. I want to start this week off on a winning note and play the week from the positive. Good Luck to All today and Aloha Co-Captain.
