Let's begin in the Mac. Miami of Ohio taking on UMass.

Red Hawks open minus seven and a half. It's down to seven total. Sitting at 164, we're going under 164. As I know UMass can shoot the ball from beyond the arc. But Frank Martin is a veteran, veteran of tournament play. He's taking the team in South Carolina of the final four. We are going to go under 164. As Martin's 10 and three to the under on a neutral court as an underdog, that is the play for us there. Over in the ACC, I'm not as high on Virginia as a lot of other people are. And they're going to face NC State where they're laying five and a excuse me had to sneeze there. Almost to the Quinten Williams bless me, but I'm not willing to go there. By the way, Idaho did finish off the job winning the big sky championship. Virginia, I'm not as high on them as everyone else. I know the numbers would say they're a really good team. I think they're okay. I think they're solid. There's nothing special about the Cavaliers. And I do think that the upside of NC State with Will Wade has me intrigued here. Virginia did win both meetings in the regular

season, but NC State has a game under their belt with their win earlier over Pittsburgh. And Virginia's laying five and a half. I'm going to take the five and a half with Will Wade and hope that the hot shooting in the offense continues to roll for the wolf pack in the ACC tournament there. I'm also taking two points with Miami against Louisville. And I think a lot of people are actually on Louisville here. As it's down to one and a half at Circa, total one fifty three and a half, Louisville won their one meeting. 92 89. It was in Coral Gables, but Miami gave him a fight. If I remember correctly, Miami was up late in that game. And I don't think the market's factoring in missing Brown for a second game. It's one thing for Conwell to carry you in one game. It's another thing for Michael Brown to not be available for a second game in this tournament. I think this is where it shows its head. And I like Jay Lucas. Jay Lucas, the head coach for Miami. I hope they can keep him there because he's proven to be a pretty good head coach. Miami offensively should be able to hang with Louisville. And defensively, they're right there with them. Metricly. So because of

that, give me Miami, we're actually think they might have a coaching edge. And certainly with Donaldson, have the ability to have a guy who could take over a tournament. The next game I want to look at here in the, let's see, we're going to go to the biggest where I like Creighton against Seton Hall. So it's not a great year for Greg McDermott and the Blue Jays. See it Hall, though, is a 3-3 and a half point favorite. The total 133 and a half. Creighton is on a 7-0 against the spread run since 2023 against Seton Hall. The over is on a five and three run in this series. And Greg McDermott, I just trust him in this spot as a veteran. Seton Hall is on the bubble. Bubble teams have not been playing well the last few games. Shaheen Holloway at Seton Hall, three and five against the spread on a neutral. One in three against the spread as a favorite of six or less on a neutral site. So I'm going to take Creighton in this spot and catch the points. The next game I want to look at here in our plays for Thursday. I missed the best number, but I took Iowa at a pickum against

Ohio State. I don't think Ohio State's a very good team and they go, Ohio State with the win that they got a few weeks ago and the run that they've been on, they, they are exhaling. They believe they're off the bubble. I don't know if they're off the bubble. And I think that they think they're good to go. And I actually like Ben McCallum as the better coach in this matchup against Jake DiBler and what they're going to do Iowa, they're going to slow down this pace and they're going to make it a limited possession contest. And then it becomes who has the best player on the floor. And in my opinion, that is Bennett starts. So I'm taking the Hawkeyes at a pickum against Iowa State. I'm also laying. I got seven. I couldn't get a six and a half with Wisconsin against Washington. I just don't think Washington can really hang and they benefit from taking on a USC team in the first round of the big 10 tournament that just wants the season to end. So I'm laying seven with the badgers. Their offense is going to be too much. They're going to smother the Huskies there. I'm also laying 11 with Purdue. I may be wrong. I know I've said not to trust Matt Painner,

but in this round against Northwestern coming off an upset of Indiana. I do think that Purdue is going to potentially have some of their best ball in front of them here against the Wildcat. And I think they're just going to have too much offense for Northwestern to hang. Also, I'm laying it with UCLA. Leave I laid 11 and a half against Rutgers. UCLA's hitting their stride offensively. I don't want to get in front of them. I'm also going to take five and a half with Texas Tech against Iowa State. And look, I was on Iowa State earlier on Wednesday, but I'm very concerned about the way they played at the end of the season and Texas Tech without AT Toppen. Remember what they did at Hilton, winning 82 73 back in February 28th. I think Christian Anderson, the rest of the team of the Red Raiders have enough here, especially with their three point shooting to even knock off Iowa State and I like Iowa State on the season. I'm also going over 158 and a half with UCF and Arizona. UCF can shoot the basketball. Arizona has a million guys who can score. They want to play at that pace. Well, have fun. I think both teams are going to trade

shots in that one. I'm also on the under in BYU and Houston. I don't understand this total being as high as it is at 147 and a half. Richie Saunders isn't there. BYU isn't running their same offense because of that. I'm willing to do that and go under where Houston and tournament play will dictate the style of fight in terms of player props in the NBA, Yannis over 40 and a half PRA campaign for Philly under 21 and a half PRA. Bam out of bio under three and a half assists. Going up against Milwaukee, we are also on Isaiah Stewart over four and a half rebounds. So you're listening to this podcast hoping to get an edge. But what if I told you you're only half way there? You've got the mindset. But what if you had the tool kit to go with it? Because here's the thing. Pro betters are shelling out thousands for access to sharp data and pro level tools. And yeah, that's why there are pros. But we've leveled the playing field, giving you access to the same edge with visa and pro. Oh, and all for less than a unit you'll place on a Thursday night game in November. Just tap the link in the description and see why thousands of betters are already using visa and pro to cash more bets today.
