It was a positive Thursday as our 4* ELITE release on underdog Mt St Mary’s won outright. We split our 3* VERY STRONG plays as Wichita St took care of South Florida but Northwestern completely forgot how to shoot a basketball in our Over loser in the Wiscy/NW matchup. Our 2* STRONG selection also won as Texas prevailed outright over A&M as a 6.5 point dog in a must win situation. We went 2-2 on our 1* SOLID releases as Oklahoma covered versus KY and Tulsa/Temple went OVER the total late. Our two losses included Purdue coming up just short in their win over USC and Creighton winning but not covering against Depaul. Adding 5 Units on Thursday brings our 18 day running record to 50-24 for PLUS 80 UNITS. It’s been a strong run but the lines will only get tighter as we get further into March so we take nothing for granted. We will keep doing the work and get ready for Friday.
