Delaware -3.5
330 to win 300

 

[Lester Diamond]

ytd 44-38-2
+2069.00

Iona -7.5 This is my strongest play so far this season. I show Iona with an enormous talent advantageand a bigger depth edge. Fordham has played better than my Preseason power rating numbers would suggest but I see no reason why Iona does not win this by 20.

Risking 880 to win 800


I have more games to follow. I'll be back in a few.

 

[Lester Diamond]

Dayton +12
My numbers come out Dayton 60 to 52. So in a perfect world Dayton wins this game by 4. I'll take the 12 though.
Risk 330 to win 300


Illainois Chicago returns all 5 starters of a 21 win team and will be a tough team in March.
I'll take +1.5
Risk 275 to win 250


George Mason -11
Small play as the Bonnies continue to burn me
110 to win 100

Good Luck

Lester,

Both Iona and Fordham are 2-5. Neither has done very well so far. What have you seen that makes you feel so strongly about this play?

Thanks for your time,

Bosco
Iona returns 4 starters off their 12 win team. Fordham returns e starters off their 2 win team. Fordham has no depth and vey little talent. My preseason Power Ratings are 56 for Iona and 16 for fordham. Throw in the HC advantage, and I think I have a strong play. Fordham is improved but this is not the kind of game they can win on the road. Especially in their 3rd rd game in a row.

Good Luck tonight LD. Good to see you on Dayton.

 

[bosco]

LD, congrats on your Iona cover.

Nice hit.

[Lester Diamond]

Man Fordham is alot better than I gave them credit for. That was too close for comfort. Thanks guys

 

[Hoops]

Are you saying with your power ratings that Iona should have been a 40pt fave on a neutral court?

 

[Lester Diamond]

No my Power Ratings don't work like that. What ever the differential is divide it by 2 and that is wht I feel the team should win by. At that point I look for favorable lines.

 

[Lester Diamond]

3-2 tonight with Utah st pending.

Lester,nice job yest.
You have to be careful with Iona.They are loaded with 4 and 5 gds.And Deshawn from the Cuse is playing.Loves to "chuck" and play selfish.He's shooting about 25% FG.
I had Iona but it was a push.And Fordham is a great ats team.Lyr they were 2-26 straight and 13-13 ats. And on the road Fordham was 8-5 ats.Dereck will do a good job with them in a yr or two.Hill was hated by everyone in the Bronx.
Getting back to Iona's coach Ruland.He is a terrible bench coach with talented players.Iona is a tough team to capp because if there gds are hot they can beat anyone.
Nice job last nite
