Coppin state is down 1 to DePaul close to the end of the first half. DePaul stinks but it is very clear Coppin state is light years better than CCSU so at least a better test Saturday.

This is not clear to me. DePaul is that bad.

Light years better than CCSU?? Coppin State is AT BEST evenly bad. They just lost to Loyola Chicago by 58. Current Kenpoms: Coppin: 351, CCSU: 348.

Then DePaul really is god awful. Also, kenpom means nothing this early in the year. But yes, I didn’t see that they lost by 58 lol

Feel like Gonzaga is not going to be nearly as good as people think. If you think we have issues shooting from outside, look at their team. They have maybe 1 guy who can shoot the 3 at better than 35%. Huge step back for them compared to last year with Suggs, Kispert, and Ayayi.

But their conference is high school level so they're still going to get a 3 seed at the worst.

Yeah that WCC this year really has a bunch of HS type teams. I mean if UConn could only get an easy road game @ BYU or @USF. Every team in the country needs a cupcake game like that!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

My new DraftKings trick:

Pick one game to bet on and then parlay that with some gimme Moneylines.

For example, last night I bet +15.5 Buffalo v Michigan (-115) and then bet the ML on Wake over William and Mary and UCF over Robert Morris, two bets that bumped me up to a +117 parlay.

Tonight, I got +19 GW v Maryland -110 (go Brendan Adams), and then added South Dakota (-450) and Evansville (-675) to bump it to +167.

We'll see how that goes. @temery, could you confirm whether or not I am even allowed to post this? If not, please delete and won't post like this again.

It's a gray area. I've never received any complaints, so have at it.

Very good mid-major matchup tonight at 6 PM on ESPN+ between Vermont @ Northern Iowa. If you haven't seen AJ Green play, he's a treat.

UNI lost their opening game to Nicholls State on Tuesday, 62-58. Green only had 4 points on 1-14 shooting. I still think he’s great and will have a great season. But an inauspicious beginning, as Clyde would say.

E: also, love the betting tip. I do the same thing with my NFL parlays, where I’ll pick the 2-3 games I really like then just add like a Rams and Cards ML to juice it a bit

 

[UconnU]

BA and GW vs Wahab and Maryland on now if you get the B10 Network. Good game.

Another good mid-major matchup tonight is on FS1 right now - Sacred Heart @ Providence. Very competitive in the first 10 minutes.

Currently watching GW vs Maryland. One observation: The turnout at Maryland is absolutely horrible. There’s no one there. Yeah I know they’re playing an average team but the place literally looks empty from the angles i’ve seen on TV.

just curious, why would it not be allowed? Advertisers?

Providence and Sacred Heart tied at 28 with 7:30 in the first half. How bad is PC? Holy crap they stink

They have not looked sharp at all through 2 games. And this is against teams that they should be beating handily. They do have a few new pieces so part of it could just be they are trying to figure out, but things could get ugly for them against better competition. Still early so we’ll see how it ends up.

Imagine if Watson didn’t come back?

Maryland down 1 to GW at the half

 

[UconnU]

Wahab is an absolute animal. Already has 16/14 with 15 left to play.

 

[Get a Job]

It's very possible that the first Big East team to lose will be Villanova. Whodathunkit?

Then again, if you ask @shizzle787 , UCLA is a cupcake and 'Nova will win by 45.
