Smitty's NIT Selections

[Smitty]

alright, followed up an awful saturday with a mediocre sunday. did ok on my larger plays, but missed everything else. time to dip my toe into the nit pool....

old dom (-11) 3 units. i LOVE old dominion tonight. no time for much of a write up, but this sets up beautifully for an old dom rout. the monarchs will be kings tonight!

clemson (+3.5) 1 unit.

strong lean to michigan.

now, i understand clemson is a god-awful free throw shooting team. i knew that when i took 'em. and they could very well still cover in this game. but 5 out of 15 free throws? i truly do not understand how that is possible from college basketball players. i would have a decent chance to make 5 out of 15 with my eyes closed. maybe the whole team should shoot free throws underhanded? they are probably the only team in the country who i wish was NOT in the bonus with 10:30 to go in the game. i don't want them at the line.

your last post hit the nail on the head. while i dont have clemson, i am on the over. and the bottom line is that you simply cannot cap sub-33% free throw shooting. they aren't the best team from the stripe, but even on a horrible night you are assured of a team at least shooting 50 or 55%. but this is flat out ridiculous.

on the bright side, they have really improved... hitting 2 of their last 4. :scared
