Ham's Wednesday

2-4 yesterday. But its not all bad. I am capping these games well. I was spot on saying the kent st game will go under if toledo showed up and played defence however they didnt allowing over 80 points and it went over by 6. If toledo did play any D i hit that under.

The ohio st game i called OSU dominating the inside and Turner and Mullins playing well. Lastly in Iowa St i said if anyone besides Brackens inside can score they cover the 12.5. Well no one else was in double figures and they lost by 15. O well, at least I am on these games.

I feel I will get hot soon. Hoepfully tonight.

Ball St @ Miami OH

Ball St is a smart team. After losing their best player about 5 games ago for the year. Their coaching staff has done a hell of a job. The only way they can win is to spread the ball around and buckle down on the defensive end.

Few teams in the MAC play as strong on defense as the Cardinals.In seven conference games, Ball State is allowing an average of just 52.9 points per game. It has held three opponents to 44 points or fewer. Teams are shooting just 39 percent from the floor, including 24 percent from the 3-point line.

Ohio, one of the more skilled teams on offense in the MAC, suffered a meltdown in its loss to Ball State. The Bobcats missed their first 13 shots from the 3-point line and made only 1-of-19 overall.

That is what this team can do to you.

Malik Perry is the Bruce Bowen of the MAC. He took only one shot, scored one point and committed five turnovers while playing 28 minutes. But his contribution to the Cardinals’ 51-44 win was enormous. Perry did most of the defensive work in silencing Ohio’s Jerome Tillman, the MAC’s leading scorer. Tillman came into the game averaging 19.2 points, but Perry held him to 10 on 3-for-16 shooting.

Miami has Michael Bramos who is a lot like Tillman and will need to be shutdown tonight.

Both of these teams are very detailed and i guess you can say slow on offence. The shot clock will be under 10 in almost every possession. That is why the OVER/UNDER is at 114.

This game will be played in the 45-55 range and if you are going to give me 13.5 points in a game like this, i will take it every time.

Ball St +13.5 (4 units -110)



Ball st is 5-1 ATS after losing Anthony Newell

Duquesne @ St Louis (2 units -103)

Simple here. St Louis cannot score and the Dukes lead the A-10 in scoring at 80PPG. St Louis prides themselves on defence but I dont think they have enough firepower to hang with Duquesne here. Duquesne has a balanced scoring punch with 5 guys over 9.5 PPG.

Here is the difference in PPG in this matchup....
St Louis 58.9 PPG
Duquesne 84.6 PPG

and heres the flip side in OPP PPG
Duquesne 78.1
St Louis 61.9 PPG

Duquesne has played solid on the road this year, notching a 2-1 record in conference with its loss by 1 point at St joe's.

I think Duquesne outscores them and this game goes over.

Duquesne +1 (1 unit -110)

I looked at the Ball St game for about a hour eariler today ....I kept thinking the samething . Unless M Ohio just has a really great motivation it should be maybe a 8 point win. Hope Ball comes to play... the rest of your games looks good too.
