Thurs 1/14 Horizon League

[3 putt pete]

YTD : 76-60 (+36.08)

GB / UIC under 159 (2)

UIC unders, the gift that keeps on giving. It's very tough for a team that is this bad to push a number to 160. I'll get burned one of these nights but content to ride out the trend for now.

Milw/ Valpo over 133' (3)

Make no mistake, Valpo is the class of this conference and it's not even close. They can play well at any pace and Milw can hold their own offensively. The current number seems pretty low to me.

Wright St First half -3' (1)

Cleve State has been plagued with slow starts in a few of their outings this season and Wright has been playing better after a horrid early season start.


Youngstown +4' (1)

A wise man once said don't lay points with bad teams. Northern Ky qualifies as a bad team laying points tonight. Nobody wants to be remembered as Northern Ky's first ever Horizon league win in a trivia question. I expect a decent effort from the Pengs who have played surprisingly well without Hain.


Handle with care, I've been hot and due to tank one of these nights. And thanks to those who sent along the nice feedback on Tuesday night. I appreciate it. GL

GL tonight. Thanks for posting your insights.

Valpo is really good, but I like Milwaukee getting a bunch of points tonight. Johnson is a stud at PG and he seems to elevate his game when he plays these good teams. Like he has a chip on his shoulder coming from a CC. I like your total play because I definitely think Milwaukee will rise to the occasion tonight.

UIC is awful, I was looking at Green Bay side tonight...they should run them out of the gym. Unless GB completely forgets how to defend, the amount of possession will be so high that it would be pretty difficult for GB to not win handily.

I also agree on Youngstown. Seems like they play zone a lot, and N. Kentucky isn't exactly shooting the lights out from down town. If they can't shoot, it will be tough for them to bust up that Zone.

No rebuttal that UIC is awful, but two of their last three no covers have been by ats margins less than three. In addition, I don't think gbay has a strong enough
ats margin record to cover this many points as a Road Favorite. Last night was a similar scenario with g'town @ ST JOHNS (UIC) and g'town won easily. We shall see. Gluck.

That's solid reasoning. I was looking at possession stats last night and the Horizon has 4 in the top 15 in the nation. It's pretty wild , some fast and entertaining ball being played in this conference this season

GL to all
