Learn more at what's the damage.org brought to you by Virginia DMV. We have a couple playing games occurring on Wednesday. First one will be prayer review and Lehigh as they match up with Lehigh lane 3.5, total 143 and a hook. They won the Patriot League. No one saw it coming. Everyone said it was going to end up being Navy. Navy was a heavy favorite got steamed up to minus two dollars. Yet here are the Lehigh mountain hawks coach by Dr. Brett Reed who once knocked off Duke with CJ McCollum in the baggy shorts I've ever seen in my life back in the day. So Lehigh offensively not much to ride home about 290th in efficiency but they do shoot the ball well from three. 39 in the country 36.5% for them. Prayer review 310th in efficiency. They play at a faster pace 50th in possession length nationwide. They are from three are only 33.1%,

but very good from the charity stripe. Brett Reed, he's a doctor, comes into this 171 against the spread. 5 and 2 to the under on neutrals. 4 and 0 covering 3 and 1 to the under on neutrals when the totals in the 140s. 3 and 0 against the spread. 2 and 0 to the under on a neutral as a favorite of six or less than Byron Smith for prayer review A&M 13 and 8 against the spread 14 and 9 to the under on neutrals 8 and 6 covering 10 and 5 to the under as a neutral dog. I said the word under a lot said neutral more but under the second most in the last wave of sentences to flow out of my mouth. So we are going to go under 143 and a half on prayer review and Lehigh in the play and game. We've got SMU and Miami of Ohio and probably the most anticipated play and game we have had in quite a minute where SMU was laying six and a half. This one was eight eight and a half. It got down to six and a half now. We're back up to seven at circa totals 163 and a half. The key here is SMU potentially getting back their second leading scorer. I believe it's third leading score. Let me double check that real quick. Either way you've got B.J. Edwards third

leading score 12.7 points per game potentially returning from injury. We don't know 100% yet but I believe that is why there's fluctuation in this market. The metrics would tell you Miami of Ohio has the offense to hang for this fight. They are sixth and effective field goal percentage. They are 22nd in the nation shooting the three at 37.5% second from two at 61.5%. I would just tell you that SMU is a bit of a different style of fight than they're used to in the Mac. Okay this team is better from or as good as they are from three right around the same 37.4% but against better opponents. 48th from two so absolutely fine there. There are more efficient offense and Andy Enfield is a coach who has experienced who has been through this before. Andy Enfield at SMU is six and two against the spread five and three to the under when playing in a tournament three and oh against the spread on a neutral when the total is in the 160's his career in the NCAA tournament. Andy Enfield is 10 and three against the spread. Travis Steel is an underdog pretty good. I'll give him credit 30 and 24 against the spread but I think there is too much depth and too much athleticism

from the team that is playing from the ACC and SMU. I am laying the six and a half with the mustangs in that game. All right. Couple more college plays we did add earlier in the day up at visin.com slash picks. The first one is I laid the 10 with Wisconsin. I know everyone's on high point and I understand why but I have concerns. High point doesn't play in a great league so the thought that they're just going to run and gun with Wisconsin who's battle tested out of the big 10. I think might be a little bit foolhardy. They're not exactly a leap from three either 34.4% but I understand they shoot a lot of volume. I would say with the back court Wisconsin's offering here that might not be the best way to approach it. Wisconsin's 11th in the nation in adjusted offensive efficiency. Okay. They shoot the ball from three at 36.1% from two at 54.8 and they are elite. Top 12 from the charity stripe which is huge when you're betting on favorites in these games because high point doesn't want to go quietly into the night. They're going to fall till the very

end which means Wisconsin's ability to hit free throws could help us cover if it is at risk at the end of this game. High point I understand why people want to back them because it's fun because it's different because they have an offense but I don't know if they have the defense and I think defense really matters the most here and I don't know if they have the three point ability that you look for in these double digit underdogs the ball off the upset. I think Wisconsin is better every which way they cover the number and I think they go on a run potentially to the elite eight the Wisconsin Badgers. Michigan State is taken on North Dakota State right now we are looking at a number of 16 and a half sparties laying it totals 143 and a half the total is where I'm looking in this game. So Michigan State there's enough offense there but what Tom iso's hallmark is is the defense the intensity the way he defend the perimeter the way his team fights for rebounds. I think because of that we're going to go under the 143 and a half in this game. Tom iso in his career in tournament play 42 and 38 to the under when he's seated as a four or higher he is 25 and I can't

read my handwriting believe that is 17 to the under and then in the first round of the NCAA tournament you know he's actually 14 and 12 to the over but either way more trends to the under here and I think with them being a big favorite and then potentially having a hugely late pulling the starters we're not going to see a lot of points at a sparty late in this game give me the under 143 and a half with Michigan State against North Dakota State you're having a good time you're out drinking with the boys now it's time to pay the tab 11,352.47 cents wait what well there are court costs attorney fees higher insurance costs damaged to your car do you why finds not to mention the damage to your social life plan a sober ride or pay the price drinking and driving costs more than your drinks it could cost a life learn more at what's the damage dot org brought to you by Virginia DMV when you really need care you need 247 access to a care team not a maze of paperwork from a third party every day america's hospitals and
