3-2 ATS yesterday, had it all wrong with the Bucknell-Lafayette game but moving on and it's time to make some serious cash on all these games today. Looks like maybe a card of 12-13 games that look interesting.
CUSA Tournament - Championship Game
Texas El-Paso Miners -5
The only concern if you want to bet on UTEP in this spot is nerves and ability to get the job done because the winner of this Championship Game is automatically dancing and the other becomes one of the main bubbles teams we are all going to focus on come tomorrow night but neither teams wants it to come down to that I'm sure. Having said that, and we went over this last time these two teams played, UTEP has a very experience team, Memphis is very young and most of the top players on UTEP are from Memphis and had at some point intentions on going to Memphis so string are attached in some ways to this game. At this point though the Miners are playing too well to lose and let's just hope they can make those free throws late to pull this one out.
Like I just said, free throws at the end of this game are a bit scary with UTEP because the Miners make only 62.8% of their free throws their last five games but the Miners score 71.6 points per game, they shoot 49.8% from the field and are deadly from three point range at 40.6% from beyond the arc, all in their last five games. Memphis is not on the same level right now. They are winning games with defense and scoring only 62.4 points per game their last five games doing it but it doesn't work against a team like the Miners because UTEP has too much experience and the Miners play some lock down defense themselves allowing 59.2 points per game and 38.5% shooting from the field in those last five games. The Tigers can't guard the perimeter and against UTEP that's fatal.
I was all over the Miners in their first and only meeting of the season because of the Memphis ties to all the UTEP players and because they are all experienced with one last shot at making it big after years of playing in smaller post-season tournaments. This is their time and I think Memphis can still make it in win or lose but it will be close. If you bet on UTEP the last 11 Saturdays, you'd be rich because they are 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 games played on a Saturday this season and right now they are on a five game spread win streak versus Conference opponents. The Miners have covered the spread in the last four meetings between these teams and again with both teams being that good defensively, you have to go with the veterans and the leadership and the much more effective scorers. NOT TO MENTION THIS GAME IS IN EL-PASO, TEXAS.
Texas El-Paso minus the points.
