North Carolina Central Will Be......

Question

The Biggest Upset of the Tourney.

Why you say? Well Defensively They allow Under 65 ppg. They hold teams Under 41% FG% and they have A positive turnover margin. Yeah but who have they played? Well of course they don't play anywhere near the schedule Iowa St has played but they did face Maryland, Cincy, Wichita St and Nc State. The only win was at Nc State but at least that's 3 tournament teams.

Its gonna be tough to pull this off but the line is soft IMO. As good as Iowa St has been this year playing in the Big 12 their only laying 8 to A MEAC team? I don't know. Jeremy Ingram is gonna have to ball to give this team the scoring their gonna need. Jordan Parks has to come off the bench and bury some 3's. These things are never easy to predict. They could get ran out the gym. But I'll leave you with this... remember Norfolk State's upset win over Missouri A few years ago. A lot of people including me were in love with Mizzou that year to make A deep run And they got knocked out in the first round by A 15 seeded Norfolk St team. MEAC school. Anything is possible in March. GL

NC Central +8 6% Bankroll bet
NC Central ML 2% Bankroll bet

MNCapper · Answer

Yikes.. Iowa state is a top 5 team in the tourney. They win by 16.

rzagza · Answer

Way too many people on this game for one simple reason..."the line is too low". No other reason really. NCCU will be able to do some good work in the paint here but ISU just has a bunch of horses and can really pile up points. I have a hard time seeing them slowed down until they play Villanova who has a slew of bodies to throw at them.

Take a look at NCCU's result this yr vs real teams OOC. They did beat NC State VERY early when NC State was playing horrendously and in total rebuild mode. Other than that NCCU was not good at all in the non-conf. No one should glean anything off what they did in their horrific conference. They're playing a team with a couple of sure-fire NBA players here.

I thought the line was a little strong for ISU personally. They are a top 15 team possibly but they allow teams to hang tons of points up on them to keep it close it seems. Asking for a DD win against a team that hasnt lost in 21 games is very tough. this is what is drawing me away from NC Central. But I think ISU may need to hang 85+ to cover this number

Eagleeyesports · Answer

I think the dog covers the 8 in this spot.....I ain&#x27;t got the kahunas to call an outright win tho

VegasVandal · Answer

losses by 13 @ Cincy and 11 @ Wichita are incredibly respectable though. Cincy and Wichy were workhouses at home all year long. Ridiculous win % for Cincy and undefeated for Wichy obviously. Wich beat Tennessee by 9 one week before they played NC Central. This is part of the reason I feel the line is strong situationally for ISU. However, sagarin has the spread at -9 so dont see much fishy here.

FlashThatUUU · Answer

Thanks for the insightful feedback. I don&#x27;t necessarily think that the line is fishy I just think its A little soft based off the 2 conferences these 2 schools play In. I&#x27;m not solely basing the play of the line neither. Just A small factor. NC Central does some things well statistically that are strong &#x2B;&#x27;s for tournament teams and I think they have A strong chance at pulling the Upset. Will I be wrong? Probably. GL with your plays today and this weekend

jseglem · Answer

Be careful on this one, Iowa St. plays very well together and avg. 18.5 assts. per game.  They rebound well and did play in the top conf. in basketball.  I think Iowa St. wins by at least 12.

Pix · Answer

I would say I wish you the best but that would be a lie since I have iowa state big.Here is the problem with your logic.Defensively They allow Under 65 ppg.Without going into crazy numbers, the teams they held to under 60 points ONLY AVERAGED 60 points.Two of those games, Johnson and whales (47 pts....only played FIVE games all year) and Baber Scotia (huh?  what?) 46 greatly skew the number.So you have 3 or 4 teams that they played twice which don&#x27;t come close to averaging 60 points a game and you have those two games as well.....throw in a 43 point defensive shutout of the Campbell fighting Camels and that is easily 10&#x2B; games that would severely skew your defensive numbers.Here is another interesting point:Iowa state&#x27;s low-water mark for the year is 70 points.They had 11 points 13 minutes into the game and finished with 70.Just a week ago against baylor they had only 11 points 15 minutes into the game and finished with 74.  They also trailed that game by double digits and won by 9.The next problem Central will have is that Ingram is not a one man wrecking crew.  Sure he averages 20 points, however half of those come from the free throw line.  He isn&#x27;t going to take over a game from the perimeter.  He can hit the free throws in crunch time and penetrate, however he isn&#x27;t going to be raining 3s and jumpers.  Iowa state has play 17 games against teams that were ranked in the top 25 this year, 4 in the top 10 winning 3 of those games.They bring a team that averages 83 pts per game, the 23rd ranked rebounding game, the best assist numbers in the country and a top 40th shooting percentage all against top tier competition.This game will be tight for the first 8-10 minutes, perhaps the first half.......Iowa state will win by 10&#x2B;.

Great post and reasoning Anyway, we got all day to stew over this late night contest too

Pix · Answer

Sorry guys, there was no way Iowa state wasn&#x27;t scoring their usual 80&#x2B; points.They will probably score 100.5-0 on my biggest game of the day.

FlashThatUUU · Answer

I&#x27;m glad you went out of your way to bump my thread. Says A lot. Look at my bets. 6% and 2%. Ohh darn. I lost 8% of my bankroll. Sorry for taking A chance and thinking outside the box with all these upsets going down.

FlashThatUUU · Answer

Juice down your bet 2 points because its your favorite play of the day. Ha. Good one

sicknesscity · Answer

Yeah but like MNCapper said, Iowa State is probably a top 5 team in the tournament.  They have the ability to go to the Final Four.  You were warned not to go against them.

FlashThatUUU · Answer

Lol. Warned? I don&#x27;t pay attention what idiots on covers are doing. I make my own plays. And every now and then I feel frisky enough to post A losing play.
