early A10 tourney

[ndlarryj]

9-9 on posted plays for A10 regular season and some poor capping on my behalf. Haven't posted for a few weeks but have had a few winners. Just want to post some thoughts in case anyone is leaning either way on the games today. Take them for what they're worth and good luck! Not sure how I'm going to get any work done today... will try to be back for tonights' 2 plays.

- Xavier -16.5 v. St. Bonnies... 'home' game for Xavier up I75 in dayton.. bonnies 1-9 last 10 ATS, X 9-1 last 10 ATS. We all know how bad the bonnies are. If Sato and Chalmers can shoot today (though they've been streaky a lot this year), should be blowout city. Bonnies lost at home to X by 16 earlier this year. Think the home flavor and desire to rematch with St. Joes tomorrow and maybe steal a tourney bid will make the difference today for X.

- Rhody -8.5 v. LaSalle... the Rams are on a streak of 6 ATS wins, their last one being the buzzer beater v. Dayton on the same floor they'll be playing on today. Rhody has out muscled everyone inside lately, including St. Joes. LaSalle has looked horrible in their last 3 outings, losing even to lowly Fordham.

In my humble opinion both of these games should be played on either on the chalk or 'pass'.

i down.good call.please keep posting.last yr i played all your plays.

 

[lowell]

2 for 2.great calls please give opinions on tonites game with totals if you like them also.thanks.

thanks Lowell. glad i could help this morning.

no time for long write ups on tonights games, but again i think the plays should either be on the chalk or no action. Duqense (-2.5) is a scrappy team that has already smoked UMass earlier this year. UMass reeling right now with only a win v. st. bonnies in its last 8. ... fordham is very bad and should be easy for richmond; i especially like the first half if i can get -7.5.

No thoughts on the totals.. perhaps anyone else would care to comment?

GLTA!

nice call on duquesne, but will they cover against dayton tonight???

 

[ndlarryj]

thanks alamo.. i am not playing the dayton game tonight. i think the early line is around 11.5. I want to say that the duques keep it inside the number. But i would not be betting very much against Dayton on their home floor w/ a week of rest, etc. Tough call and probably a pass for me.

On the other hand, I am taking the points with Xavier. they have played much better in the latter half of the season (save for a loss v. the duques), and I think they keep it inside 8. Keep in mind that all the xavier fans, and pretty much all other schools' fans will be rooting for the big upset.

Will try to give thoughts on GW/ RI and Temp/Rich .

Any for today?

3 seconds - those 2 games are today... taking X+8 and passing on Dayton/Duques for now. Haven't seen lines yet for the other two.
