MY TAKE
Taking the more proven team year-in and year-out in this exact situation which is also better taking care of the basketball and is a comprehensively better offensive basketball team, it’s a play on Wright State -4.5 as the day’s Top Choice.
AUXILIARIES
YTD: 4-7
🏀: Santa Clara/ Gonzaga OVER 156.5 POINTS
📚: Consensus Line
I passed on this to focus on other positions. I felt the above 5 actions were of better quality. The 156.5 was gone. The metrics and H2H results tell different stories.
