Episode notes
Eastern Washington Hot Streak May Face Regression
- Eastern Washington's eight-game cover streak makes them a tempting hot bet, but their shooting splits suggest regression risk.
- Matthew Cox notes EWU leads the league in three-point offense and defense but cautions about statistical regression.
Shop Lines For Drexel Between Plus Seven And Ten
- Do size your Drexel play around +7 to +10 depending on line because Jim and Matthew expect the market to open higher then settle.
- Matthew Cox suggests Drexel is playable down to +7 due to Hofstra being fully clinched.
Take Drexel As A Value Dog At Hofstra
- Do take Drexel as a dog against Hofstra in the CAA because Drexel's physical defense and returning big Garfield Turner neutralize Hofstra's frontcourt.
- Matthew Cox and Jim Root expect an ugly low-possession 60-55 style game and like Drexel down to +7 or +8.
