It was a limited Sunday card in College Hoops, with our numbers coming up with just a single 3* VERY STRONG play, but it was a good one as the battle for MVC supremacy saw Drake take down Bradley 63-48 in a very low scoring affair that stayed well UNDER 118.5. It’s always difficult to sweat out Under releases in this range but the history between these two is that of “rock fights” and this one followed the script. The victory on Sunday brought SCP’s rolling 14 day record to 38-15 for PLUS 64 Units. It was nice to get back on track after our losing Saturday and we will look to keep it going on Monday.
3* Drake/Bradley UNDER 118.5 (63-48) WIN
Writeup: 3-9-25: 3* VERY STRONG – Drake/Bradley UNDER 118.5 – On Friday the Writeup on our 2* STRONG Winner with IllinoisSt/Belmont UNDER contained the following, “there has been an odd quirk in recent years at the MVC tournament where roughly 65% of the games have gone UNDER”. As we speak, the LAST 9 GAMES in this tournament have ALL GONE UNDER! And now we have a Drake/Bradley matchup featuring a Drake squad that ranks #2 nationally (behind only Houston) in Scoring Defense allowing just 59 ppg. In addition, Bradley has gone UNDER in 4 straight while connecting on only 8 of 29 from deep this weekend. These two have met twice this season with combined points landing on 120 and 121. Considering what is at stake, this battle SCREAMS SLUGFEST with every possession being contested and we consider UNDER 118.5 to be the BEST BET on the Sunday card..
