FRIDAY HOOPS 151

Coming off a solid day of 10-2 and only playing 1 live play that counted in those, plays posted before tip off in my opinion are the plays that should count in a record, if you ever have been in a contest or tourney its the plays ya post before games start that count, hell I do not even keep a record but I promise ya I am doing well , way I see it people know 

the Kent st at Akron game seems to be a popular one, Akron won the 1st game 85-71 at Kent st  and remember these schools are 10 miles apart, and Akron has won the last 4 in this series and covered 3 of them and 3 of them went over the total , I am going to go OVER 156 in this game, one thing about Akron is they have not been shooting the 3 like they were, this team was making like 12 a game a month ago, last 3 games they are avg 75 pts a game and giving up 76, meanwhile Kent st last 3 are avg 96 pts a game and giving up 82, and Kent st comes in shooting over 56% last 3 games and shooting the 2 at 63.5% and the 3 at over 38%  and Akron comes in shooting 46% and 58% from 2 and just 26% from 3 ....but Kent st away just averages 68 pts a game and giving up 64, and Akron at home is avg 88 pts a game and giving up 75 , this is a big rivalry here, you have to like how Kent st has been playing but you should always respect Akron at home....another edge I give to Akron is they avg 20 assist at home, and Kent st averages just 11 away, and Akron at home shoots almost 50% and 60% from 2 and 38% from 3 and Kent st away is shooting just 40% and 48.6% from 2 and just 27% from 3 ...both teams are equal in rebounding  and Akron has been avg just 10 to's a game last 3 and at home they avg 10, Kent st is about 13 to's a game   there are no injuries  so this should be a good one, I think this goes over by about 6-8 pts so not a lot ,     and to be honest I do kind of favor Akron in this but 4 is a lot  I think both teams hit 80   

Akron 85-80    1st half should go over the 73.5 or 74  also 

OVER 156  1 unit 

Good luck Rum.  

Good write up. Kent State has been scoring above average and allowing more points than average. This is going to be a competitive game. I like the over as well

Taking Manhattan -5 at Canisius , Manhattan coming off a loss 8-3 STR up and 8-2 ats, and 9-4 ats away, I am going with Manhattan here  , 

Manhattan-5  1 unit

Dartmouth +8.5  Dartmouth has been playing well winning 5 of last 6 , and last 3 at home, but they are playing Yale who have beaten them easily , all wins by 16 + the last 4 times, but Dartmouth is 8-3 STR up at home, 2-1 as a home dog, and 6-3 ats at home, and 11-4 ats as a dog, and they are 3-0 ats as a home dog   that's all good , and I don not see how ya go against that, Yale is 13-6 ats away, and are 4-2 ats as an away favorite   but just have to like how Dartmouth is playing and at home and getting a good number  

Dartmouth +8.5  1.5 units 

151 

going to go against some here and take Marist +2 on the road at Sacred heart, Marist is 16-3 STR up after a win, and are 9-3 STR up away this year, 5-2 STR up as a dog and 5-2 STR up as an away dog, 7-5 ats away and 5-2 ats as a dog, and 5-2 ats as an away dog....Sacre heart is 5-9 STR up off a loss and are 6-5 STR up at home, 5-9 ats after a loss and 5-6 ats at home and just 2-5 ats as a home favorite...these 2 have not played before    just like this Marist team this year, they have won a lot of games as they are 20-5 STR up this year and do play well away and as a dog  

Marist +2  1.5 units 

was thinking about UNLV but their top scorer is out with a shoulder injury   so they are a no go  could still win but I'll stay away

yeah i saw that after I placed the bet. I still like it but not near as much.  They want way to much to cash my bet out so I'm riding with the Rebels  

10-2 is way more than solid, brother.  That's exceptional in my book.  But who's keeping score ;)

going with Purdue tonight buying down to -5  -120  going 1.5 units  just think Purdue has something to prove here, losing 4 straight, big team like UCLA coming in  they have to step up tonight  , and they have the team to do it with  ...I think they step it up tonight 

Purdue-5  1.5 units 

@capper4ever

 don't blame ya   I want to bet them   but am staying away  I will be pulling for them  

@RUM151

well I really like the over 146 in the c.mich/e.mich game  but Hardrock is not having it on the board , so guess I cannot bet it 

I’ll be at the Akron/Kent game. Kent moved Center Hornbeck out of the starting five and that’s help the offensive significantly. Kent’s bench scored 56 against Toledo. But the uptempo offense has hurt what was the “best” defense in the MAC. Defense has allowed point totals of 75, 83, 84 and 96. The Flashes have given up more points than average in five of the last six games.

This plays into the favor of the high scoring Zips at home. Groce has a good rotation of players and it’s gas pedal from start to finish. It’s a white out and $2 beer night. 

I like the Zips, and the over TT.

App st +3.5 at Marshall I looked at the game they just played 2 games ago at App st where Marshall won by 10, everything in that game was even, shots taken, rebounds, turnovers, ft's  all even ..only diff is Marshall shot 48% and App st shot 39%  that's it, and I do like taking the team that lost on a quick turn around match up, they remember the game, they know where it went wrong and so on and I think App st gets the win here tonight or covers, only thing is Marshall does have good trends at home but I am going to take app st here +3.5  -120  just a unit   

app st +3.5  

parlay 3 teams  I moved the lines a little  

Over 137 Niagara/Texas st ML/Over 149 Iowa  +485   

Texas st is one of those do not make sense lines  ,  and NW does have a lot of OVER trends 

Great call
