Tuesday, March 07, 2023 McNeese State vs. Texas A&M Corpus Christi (NCAAB) 6:30 PM EST Texas A&M Corpus Christi Premium Pick AmericasBookie Play Title: Southland Solidifier Play Selected: Point Spread: -10/-110 Rating: 9* Analysis: HC Steve Lutz has his Islanders in the thick of it & on the brink of punching their March Madness ticket. In their 2 meeting with the McNeese State Cowboys this season, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi took care of business @ home with a 83-72 win @ the American Bank Center & then won more convincingly routing the Cowboys 77-54 @ H&HP Complex in Lake Charles, LA. I love the fact that the Islanders return all 5 starters from last season's 23-12 team that lost in March Madness' First Four. This team smells a return trip & will be motivated here as the solid scoring trio of Trey Tennyson, Isaac Mushila & Terrion Murdix will overwhelm McNeese State in the end. Let's go to the Legacy Center in Lake Charles to play the TEXAS A&M-CORPUS CHRISTI ISLANDERS as my 9 Star Southland Solidifier! NC Wilmington vs. College of Charleston (NCAAB) 7:00 PM EST College of Charleston Premium Pick YouWager Play Title: Colonial Ticket-Puncher Play Selected: Point Spread: -9.5/-110 Rating: 9* Analysis: This College of Charleston squad (30-3 overall) under HC Pat Kelsey is for real. The Maroon & White get a chance to redeem themselves after a loss in the Colonial semi's last season. The Cougars are very strong away from TD Arena going 11-2 in true road games & 2-0 @ neutral sites. The 1st meeting between the 2 went to the Cougars pulling out a squeaker 71-69 @ Trask Coliseum in Wilmington. The most recent matchup @ TD Arena the Seahawks (24-9 overall) of HC Takayo Siddle were blown out 93-61 by the homestanding favorites C of C. Look for the 6'9" forward Ante Brzovic from Croatia (17 PPG in playoffs) to make his presence known inside while the backcourt of Reyne Smith from Australia (15 PPG) & Dalton Bolon (12 PPG), a 3-time All-American @ Division II West Liberty are deadly from the outside. We'll bounce down to the Entertainment & sports Arena in Washington, D.C. to play the COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON COUGARS as my 9 Star Colonial Ticket Puncher! North Dakota State vs. Oral Roberts (NCAAB) 9:00 PM EST Oral Roberts Premium Pick YouWager Play Title: Summit Advancer Play Selected: Point Spread: -10.5/-110 Rating: 9* Analysis: We'll continue the ride on 29-4 SU Oral Roberts as leader Max Abmas (18.5 PPG) with Sweet 16 experience, backcourt ace Isaac McBride (11 PPG) & now Connor Vanover (18 PPG) have stepped it inches away from advancing to March Madness. Look for senior Carlos Jurgens to be an X-Factor (14 PPG in the playoffs) as they advance to a regional. They now take on a 16-16 North Dakota State Bison (with 1 starter back coming into the season) who are just happy to be here. The 1st meeting between the 2 saw the Golden Eagles go up to Scheels Center in Fargo & dismantle ND State by a 92-69 count. Meeting 2 in Tulsa @ the Mabee Center saw ORU secure the regular season sweep winning 74-66. Oral Roberts has gone 8-2 ATS @ neutral sites so the ML will be a supreme advantage. Let's ride into the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls to play the ORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLES on the ML as my 9 Star Summit Advancer!
