I haven't gotten to dig into much yet but the first line I looked at, obviously, was Drake/UNI.

With Drake's injuries, seems like the play here is UNI at +6.5.

DeVries is great but so is Jake.

I don't know. I want Drake to win cuz it'll make the NCAA Tournament more interesting locally but feels to me like the Panthers are trending upward.

Any additional thoughts? I'll post more later today.
 
Now that Hemphill is out for good, I would take UNI to cover. Maybe even win outright.
 
I will not be betting against the second best team ATS in college basketball this year, personally
 
Drake seems to lose this game kind of game often. UNI is to Drake what Iowa is to ISU. A pain in the @$$

Almost a year ago to the day where 8 seed Drake piss pounded 1 seed UNI down there and effectively ruined UNI's NCAA hopes (had there been a tourney)

Yeah but the tables are turned around now. UNI's turn to play spoiler. They keep Drake out by handing them an L tonight.
 
Bet the under and ML on UNI. I don’t really trust spreads on these high stakes rivalry games
 
Duquense +7.5
UMASS +8.0
UNI +6.5
Southern Illinois +15.5
Western Carolina -3.0
Loyola Marymount pk
Florida Gulf Coast -2.5
Jacksonville State +7.5

As a Panther alum and fan, I do not remember this happening. Please delete your slanderous post immediately.

As for the game, I'm still giving this one to Drake. Darian is an incredible coach and they've got so much more to play for than the Panthers. I'm not touching this game.
 
Drake is the right play here. As hard as it is to post 3 duds on the same team in the same year, Drake is the better team, has played a few games without Penn and Tank already and outside of the terrible Bradley loss, has played well. Plus...Drake is covering 72% of conf games vs. UNI at 33%. UNI has not been a good team at all this season and I simply don't see a script flipped here. Scary part is 70% of the bets coming in on Drake...that's why this is a small unit play for me.

Best bet...1H under!!! And under 140. I'll bet more on 1H but I like both. UNI is prone to playing 65% of conf games to the under and tourney games just lend themselves to lower totals...that applies to all tourney's and I hate unders, but is money people!!!!

Last 2 Arch Madness games between these 2 133 and 118 pts.

I'll post my card for today soon!

Good Luck
 
UNI straight up is tempting. Drake has injury problems, and I also think it's a benefit often times for the teams that play a game the prior night.
