TODAY’S SELECTION IS ON THE TOTAL:
6-Unit Play. #841. Take Over 122 Hartford vs. Albany (Friday @ 7pm est)
Albany is a potent squad and has already beaten Hartford by a score of 62-53 but notice that despite a closing total of 115, what you see here is a total set at 122. Albany has certainly high aspirations this year than beating Hartford twice and note that they are a top 140 team who has a top 130 offense and are top 15 in the country in free throw shooting as well. This is a squad that also comes off a tough loss to Stony Brook at home 59-56 who is a top 150 team and now looks to get that frustration out with a win at home and a consequent bounce back. This team had not scored under 60 points in their last 5 games so look for that offensive prowess and bounce-back today. But more importantly what you have here is a Hartford team that can very well be a good active underdog. This is a Hartford squad that who though is outside the top 250 on defense, just beat UMBC by 3 points at home – a team they should have beat by a much wider margin and now looks to bounce-back offensively on the road against a Albany team they have already played once this year. What you basically have is a team that is a double-digit underdog that is likely to be a great underdog and to push this game over the posted total. Rather than taking the side against a team who is coming off a loss in Albany, let’s take the total to see this contest go over. The Over is 4-0 for the Hawks in their last 4 games when they face a team with a winning percentage above 60% and the Over is 4-1 for the Albany Great Danes in their last 5 contests overall as well.
