College Basketball 11/26

Auburn Tigers vs Richmond Spiders (AUB -9.5, 142) 7:30 PM

The Tigers are a final four caliber team. Mark that down. They have won 18 of their last 19 overall dating back to last season. They are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. They demolished New Mexico in their last game, and will overwhelm the Spiders tonight. Over the past two seasons, the Tigers rank 8th in offensive efficiency while the Spiders rank 290th in defensive efficiency. The do so by shooting the 5th most three pointers in the country. The defense will smother too, as the Tigers rank 13th in blocks and 10th in steals. Auburn’s dominance will continue.

Bet: AUB -9.5
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Auburn 79 Richmond 65

Kansas Jayhawks vs BYU Cougars (KAN -11, 146) 10:30 PM

Neither of these teams are fast paced offenses. The Jayhawks rank 98th in possessions per game while the Cougars rank 157th. Meanwhile, offenses are struggling against these defenses, as the Jayhawks are holding teams to 62.5 ppg while the Cougars allow 67.2 ppg. Both teams do very well defending the 3 point line with the Jayhawks ranked 45th in 3 point % against while the Cougars ranks 44th. The 11 points scare me because it will be slowly paced, though I like Kansas in this game, so I think the under is the better play here.

Bet: Under 146
Confidence: 1 Unit
Result: Kansas 71 BYU 56

Today’s Record: 2-0
All-Time Record: 13-5 (72.2%)
