Ever since Trey Kell returned from injury, San Diego st went on a 9 in a row winning streak, winning their tourney and punching their ticket. Too bad they drew a hot Houston team who's also hot and ranks high in both offense and defense. Houston's chink in their armor is a big one. Their height. Aztecs play big boy ball shooting over 52% of their shots inside the 3 point line. This hurts Houston who is 9th in the country in defensive fg%. I see San Diego st winning turnover margin and the free throw battle. Pair all that with public backing Houston and I expect line to drop. Get some San Diego St. +4 -115 25 units
Believe me, I believed in Rhode Island. They were a covering machine before limping into the tourney. A team that relies on their turnover margin (#3 in the country) and defense (#61 in country in defensive scoring). Rhode Island had an cake walk schedule compared to Oklahoma. I feel this is one of those games where public looks to fade a team that's sucked due to a brutal schedule. With the game being played early on Thursday and Trae Young being the xfactor I expect an upset early. Think oklahoma wins the glass and oklahoma comes in fresher after getting knocked from conference tourney early. You think Ncaa tourney pickers put oklahoma in to lose 1st round? I'm gonna consider a Duke upset very hard. +2 -110 25 units
QUICK, when was the last time OU won a game away from Loyd Noble.....BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, time up. It wasn't in 2018. I think after the Bonnies win over UCLA last night, Rhode Island Red is gonna find some MO to win this one. GL my friend.
