Fade the long lay off

San Fran +2.5    3 units 

Loyola hasn’t played a game since December 10th. I’ve faded Duke, Okie st, Florida, St Johns, to name a few, who all struggled and either lost or failed to cover. Bol 

@PGAromes82

 st johns won outright last night

They were favored

@hottoonight

 Learn to read bro. Either lost or failed to cover. St. John’s was -5.5 closing line and struggled the whole game. If you got it at 5 you pushed. All teams mentioned, and there are more, are just recent examples

@PGAromes82

 They were supposed to win as the fav, the term won outright is used when a dog wins.

Love this play. BOL

@LuckyBros
 I see what you are saying but you get the point. Lol The teams i mentioned above didn’t cover the spread, lost outright (dog or fave) and looked downright sloppy in these games is what i meant. I suspect Loyola having an even longer layoff then most will come out flat. 

As good an angle as any other.  Also game is in SLC not chicago. Who knows really with these mid-majors how they will come out. GL to you

@Ruby664

 Mid-Major has nothing to do with it. Loyola is a  veteran team of seniors & juniors. They may come out flat, but it has nothing to do with being a mid-major. They will be a tough out in any postseason tournament.

Its odd they are favored with the 2nd leading scorer out?

@LuckyBros

 No. They don’t necessarily have a superstar. It’s scoring by committee. 

Another angle i could use is the Coach who is a rookie HC. Does he know how to get his team ready after a long layoff? Loyola is an experienced team but still college kids. It’s up to coaches to get these kids ready to play and I’m not sure how these kids will respond to this layoff with a new coach. what we’ve seen thus far, teams have struggled. One if not the best coaches of all time, Coach K, Haf a tough time getting Duke motivated.  struggled for most of the game. Never really pulling far away. Sloppy performance 

Good start on San Fran game hopefully they can finish. 

St Thomas over 159    2 unit play  

South Alabama -6   3 unit play 

Tough loss with San Fran. Shot very poorly from 3 and made a late run burn just couldn’t get the buckets to fall. On to the next games
