Tanko 3/8/22 CBB Picks

[Tanko]

1-1 day yesterday. 9-8-1 CBB posts on BMR. Record took a hit with the 1-5 record last Saturday.

Jacksonville +2.5 -115 vs Bellarmine:
The line is Bellarmine +2.5. There are some +3 lines out there so shop around. I think this is too generous for the Knights. I would have expected a PK or Jax favorite line so lets take advantage of it. Every rating (KP, BPI, NET) indicates there is a clear separation in performance between these two teams with Jacksonville being the better performer.

This game may come down to the last shot. It is the ASUN championship game so they will be playing hard for the NCAA Tourny Berth. I think Jacksonville covers on this one.

Wagner +3 -115 vs Bryant

They split the regular season matchup w/ Bryant winning the 2nd of those games 2 weeks ago at home. It was a tight game through 30 min and then Wagner went cold. Wagner popped back nicely with big scores on St. Francis (PA) and LIU.

Bryant played Mount St. Mary's Saturday and should have lost. They came out the 2nd half and fell behind by 8 and scrambled in the last 4 min to barely edge out St. Mary's with a free throw with no time on the clock.

They are the best two teams in the NEC matching up for the bid to the NCAA Tourny. A lot on the line.

I see the game as being close but with Bryant struggling against a poor Mount St. Mary's team and Wagner rebounding well from their loss two weeks ago against Bryant, I'm taking the points, hopefully for the win.
