Monday CBI Hoops

[HiLo Kaiser]

With only one game tonight we are limited. The tourney has been difficult to process this season with one of the most wide-open tournaments we have seen in years. This creates that much more emphasis when doing your due diligence. The "other" tourneys like I call them have been a great place to find value as they get overlooked at times. The CBI, CIT, and NIT have been great this year and I am looking to continue tonight.

VCU/Saint Louis Over 128.5 ** (2 Units)
The total has been bet down and I understand that the general public and some cappers see this as a game where the Billikens will slow it down and force a half court game. However, I just do not see it that way or at least to the effect that this number indicates. The Rams are an uptempo fast pace squad and I have seen more times than not they seem to get their way. Playing at home tonight, I feel they will be able to push the ball and get to a lead forcing Saint Louis to follow suit at least to a degree. If you look at the Rams games against defensive teams like Old Dominion, Northeastern, and William & Mary they were able to get those teams to run more than they normally do. In addition, the Billikens have been playing with a slight pep in their step offensively since the CBI tourney started.

Good luck tonight!

Best,
Kaiser

Thanks AM for the kind words! I appreciate it. Tonight was tough because the game was exactly how I envisioned yet did not cover. The game opened up and VCU jumpied to the lead like I thought, which would create a faster pace than the Billikens would want. Everything going as planned, but Saint Louis couldn't hit their shots down the stretch. With the lead stretching slightly too far, no fouls were committed at the end. These losses can bother a little. Mostly cause they play out how you thought, but because of a couple consecutive missed shots the end result is no different than if the game was played in an entirely different fashion.

My "other" tournament games record was 13-2 going into today, but now dropped my 3rd contest. I like the CBI, NIT, and CIT for numerous reasons, but also think there is a lot of value to be found in these tournaments. See you guys tomorrow.

Best,
Kaiser
