John Groce has completed the hardest sell in basketball. In his second season as coach at the University of Akron, he has convinced the Zips that their defense drives their offense. Since March 2015 Kent State has gone 13-0 O/U (avg total 140) hosting teams who allow less than 68.5 ppg.

Manhattan (12-20) advanced to a quarterfinal matchup at 9:30 p.m. Friday against second-seeded Canisius. "Unfortunately for us, we have the worst draw," Manhattan coach Steve Massiello said. "Fairfield is the worst matchup for us, and Canisius is second, and now we have no prep. The turnaround is going to be brutal."

Pistons have been solid lately as an NBA bet.

I Took Cocks -1 +123 and pk +100 at halftime. Partnered the 123 with a 200 I'd had on an open 2-team parlay from WVU +200 the other day. That was an awesome game. Magic Johnson was there. The underdog in the OVC Championship 6-6 SU and 9-3 ATS L12 (avg line 4.5) sdql. During those L12 seasons, the team who lost the previous, in-season matchup went 8-4 in the championship and 8-0 when they lost the previous, in-season matchup by 15 or fewer. This seems like a dumb bet - and square - as all they gotta do is guard Ja, right? But it's the numbers I found, on my own, so I'm playing it (Racers lost this previous matchup by 13 points on Jan 24). Here is the recap of that game:
Refs really liked Murray last night, also. Maybe someone in middle management wants Racers in the tournament.
Murray State +3 -105

I rolled the dice on selling the points because of the O/U margin in those L11 games: -16, -3.5, 3.5, 8.0, 11.5, 17, 18, 18, 18.5, 21.5, 29.5
That's like 11 points average over the total. I might actually join you on that..

Not sure how to use this info yet, but the winner of this game has scored 69,70,75,76,77,79,80,80,82,86,89 in the L11 meetings.. and I'm seeing them lining Michigan at 73½ currently..
2H scoring: 57,59,71,72,79,79,83,84,86,89,90
They went 147+ in 6 of the L11. Played these at the half:
|Michigan| (OT included) Over 69½ -120
Michigan State VS Michigan - Game - Totals (OT Included) Over 146½ +350

Not a good day yesterday, last day of regular season/senior day is kind of turning in to a stay away day for me. That being said..............
Penn St. -7
Wisconsin -3
Huskers +105
Now you get my Husker diatribe that I realize none of you care about. Senior day. Always a tough day for me and the misses. We've
been season ticket holders forever and the older you get the more these kids almost become "your kids". THESE kids have had a tough
go of it. Coach Miles is most likely coaching his last game at the Vault, which is sad. I've met him personally, I think he's a great guy, he's
been a good recruiter, he just needs good assistants. He had one, Craig Smith, and now he's gone. And he's done great at Utah St. In the
end, you have to win. Had the Huskers made the dance last year, when I think they probably deserved to, we wouldn't be having this conversation,
but, they didn't. He's had the most success at NU since Danny Nee was here, but the university has poured a ton of money in to the basketball
program, you have a 14,000+ arena that sells out consistently for a team that's never won a tournament game, and expectations are higher.
This team had the talent to make Nebraska history. I told my wife even though we'd never won a tournament game, anything short of sweet 16
would be a disappointment to me this year. The problem was depth, and after Copeland's injury it reared its ugly head. Now Tom Allen is hurt,
Nana Atenken is suspended indefinitely and we'll have a walk on and a sophomore from Iceland who plays great defense and has zero offensive
game getting a bunch of minutes. Most seasons fly by in the blink of an eye. This one has grinded. I was thinking about it this morning, why does
it feel like this season has gone on forever? Partly because our winter has been terrible and long, but the season has just been a grind. Not fun.
We followed this team to KC for their holiday tournament, we followed them to a 3500 capacity gym in Sioux Falls for their neutral court win over
Oklahoma St. My wife took off 2 weeks vacation so we could follow them through the first two weekends of the tournament. That's a trip we won't
be taking now. The only good news about the bet is that Iowa is just as much a #### show as we are right now, and I think the kids that are playing
are really going to want to go out on a good note. I highly doubt we accept an NIT or CBI or CIT bid if we get offered, so this will be it. We'll thank
Glynn Watson for staying for 4 years when 2 of the kids in his freshman class left. Glynn catches a lot of heat for not being a leader, but in the end,
his name will litter a lot of the Husker all time leader boards. We'll thank Cope for coming from Georgetown and providing leadership that we didn't
even know he was providing............until he was gone. We'll thank Tanner Borchard for being the big farm kid who was in worse shape than I was
when he got here, a kid who had a reputation of being lazy in high school because he was so much bigger than everyone else, and a kid who
turned himself in to a guy who could actually contribute at the B1G level and hustled more than anybody on the team. We need to keep putting
Nebraska kids in this program. And we'll try very hard to remember James Palmer for all of the crazy good games he had, games where it looked
like nobody could stop him and try to forget some of the selfishness and give up attitude he had down the stretch. Most of all we'll remember they
are kids and wish them well as they move on in life, to whatever endeavors that may be. GBR.

Yep, minimal value on their #'s this week. Kinda disappointed in the matchups offered overall. Not bothering with any 'to win' plays this week.Looks like BOL copied bookmaker
