GL tonight Clark! peace_5

Richmond is 12-0 @ home 

U Mass is 1-5 on road 

I expected this line to be around 6.5/7 

Seems a little off to me 

Thoughts on the low line?

I thought it would be as high as (8).

Looks a little low?

@TIPOF-THE-SWORD

 Yea should be about 5.5 to 6..

It's the offensive rebounding.. UMass will dominate anyone on the offensive boards.. they have won that battle all year.. Richmond doesn't get many.. second chance opportunities imo is why odds makers have this lower.. don't necessarily think it will matter.. you can say UMass struggling to shoot 50 percent at times from the line can negate that 

@wolfeman3

 Yea I'd probably take +8.5 if I could get it and try and middle lol.. Goodluck brotha

This time rather than having 5 true scorers in the lineup, he has put together one of the top defensive teams in the country.. they come in as the top defensive team in the A10, UMass sits at 10th in conference and has been not been able to find their rythym on either ends of the floor on the road. I think the 7 foot Lafayette transfer Quinn can limit Cohen and a lot of the minutemen want to do in the paint, quinn also is the top facilator on the offense (I like bigs that can pass.. ETSU transfer king is one of the top scorers in the conference and seems like a very favorable matchup for a team that has lapses where they don't even want to attempt to play defense. Give me the spiders to continue their home dominance and get a cover along the way. Ncaab 2024 record: 19-2

CK - First of all much appreciation with the picks you share with us.  For the most part, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm seeing you're mainly rolling with home favorites that are 4 or less.  Is there anything particular you look at or for? Thanks again!!

I remember a few years ago there was a thread on Covers asking which team screws you over the most - and mine was U-Mass. 

Tonight the monster dies. Let's go Spiders!!!

 Betting has changed so much just in the last 7 to 8 years I've been doing it.. I have adjusted and maneuvered.. adapted.. when I started I mostly bet road teams because there spreads are smaller and juicy.  and moneyline dogs between +200 to +400 moneyline and was probably about as successful doing that.. beginners luck.. I also use to bet 5-10 games a day .. I honestly made more money doing volume betting than I do now.. but year after year you reassess.. I just hate betting road teams in college hoops with the tight rims.. (i hate losing even one game.. like ill hit 10 in a row and lose one and the one i lose is all i focus on) so most of the games I focus on are home teams.. and I also understand the dynamics of athletes just want to win.. they don't care if they win by 20 or 3.. they want to win.. so I don't usually bet high spreads..

I make lists for the week of games a week in advance so I already got all the games circled .. wait on lines.. normally I can guess most lines.. and narrow it down from there.  So yea most of my games in college hoops hit that category .. nfl, mlb, college football a lot different than the way I cap college hoops..

@Robards

 Sometimes it's just teams.. Drexel perfect example.. the cofc line I got -2.5 ... Charleston line I had at -7.5 ... was a comfortable double digit win ... uncw the team that just beat Charleston twice was -3.5 vs Drexel.. 20 point blow out.. line shoulda been much higher..
