Recap:
Winner. A tight close winner but it deserved to hit. This fucker was getting every ball to go his way in the first half. It was shite at half with 17 PR but it was only shite because every single missed shot the ball was falling right to him. He had five rebounds and didn’t even try to get a single one. He didn’t start the night shooting great and was throwing up bricks in the first quarter. Something changed when that scuffle happened. He pushed Duren like a little bitch and then he was able to shoot from deep. He found the one spot on the court he could hit from an drained three in a row. I wasn’t in a good place at half but I had hope because he is shite and I believed in the Pistons to blow out this game. They finally showed up to guard him in the second half. He had one three in the third quarter on a fast break where they left the fucker wide open. Not great and that one had me worried. I had four to work with for a quarter and half and I needed Detroit to stop fucking around. Thankfully they did that for most of the fourth and he sat for most of the quarter since they were down twenty. For some fucking reason Washington didn’t give up even though they were down fifteen with five minutes left and the bench players looked better than their starters. I think the two flagrants saved us in the two minutes he was back in because right after Washington finally threw in the towel. Winner. Another fuckin winner. It was close but it was deserved. He is shite and we are on to tomorrow for more.
Lock: Butler U74.5 1.25u to win 1u
Groundbreaking Analysis:
Well this is a first. I had a whole post about taking this games under and I have flipped. I never do that but I love this one. I am back in college and this feels like the way to get back into it. I felt sick looking at the NHL and NBA board so I had to come back. I love this more than the actual under. I want my revenge in this game. I got fucked by Providence stat padding in the first matchup and now I don’t have to worry about that. I also don’t think that happens with Butler since there is no need to do that in the tournament. Butler won the last matchup and lost the first. How did they win the second matchup? Pushing the pace and have Providence match it while shooting 50% and 50% from three. That’s not going to happen again. I trust that Providence understands they have to control the pace and slow the game down. This is going to be different with a desperate Providence team that is going to try and replicate their run last year. Last year when they made a little run in the tourney they played slower basketball and locked down teams. They have to do that again here. I also trust that Butler doesn’t shoot 50% on the road in MSG. I love this pick and I am glad I double checked this matchup before placing the bet. I don’t think I have ever switched up like this and I love it. Same theory as the first but a much better and safer bet. I am risking more and I feel great doing it. I am dying to get back into college basketball. We also get an early game and get to enjoy the rest of the day with a winner. Give me this under. Under. Under. Under. For Underia 🏴
