Game Preview

 

Game Preview

 

On December 1 at Gallagher Centre, the Saint Peter’s Peacocks (1-4) will look to snap a three-game losing streak by playing the Niagara Purple Eagles (1-3).

 

After losing to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 71-40, St. Peters fell to 1-4. The Peacocks’ shooting percentage was limited to 23.6% overall and 15.8% from 3-point range with Michael Houge topping St. Peter’s in scoring with sixteen points. They are struggling as they were also defeated 68-61 by UMass Lowell two games prior. Throughout the season, Saint Peter’s has averaged 61 points per game while their defense has allowed 65.8 points per contest and that means that they need to work on getting more points for their offense. With only 2 players scoring in double figures per game, St. Peter’s averages 61.0 points per game whilst shooting 29.3% from three-point range and 36.1% overall.

 

 

Niagara defeated St. Francis (PA) 69-61 to get to 1-3. The Purple Eagles held the Red Flash to 37.7% shooting and 7.7% from 3-point range, while they shot 61.4% in general and 45.5% from 3-point range. With 15 points, Ahmad Henderson II led Niagara in scoring. The offense is now ranked 310th, thus it must perform well if they hope to have a chance. Quinnipiac leads the MAAC with a 5-1 record, while the Purple Eagles are 1-3 in the same league. With 74.0 points allowed per game, the Purple Eagles’ defensive unit is currently ranked 155th in the nation. The Purple Eagles’ defenders did a superb job of avoiding fouls despite giving up 61 points against Saint Francis U. They will need to look for some fouls as the Niagara attack has had difficulty reaching the free-throw line this season; they are only ranked 303rd in terms of attempts made per game.

To understand March Madness odds, the first thing you need to get is that this is the annual championship tournament played for NCAA college basketball. Every single year in March (hence the moniker “March Madness”), 68 of the top teams in college basketball qualify to enter into a winner-take-all tournament that decides the national champion.

The competition goes down to 64 after four play-in games, leaving four sections of 16 teams, seeded 1 through 16 by a voting committee and based on each team’s regular-season and conference tournament results.

The number 1 seed plays the number 16 seed; the 2-seed plays the 15-seed, the 3-seed plays the 14-seed, and so on.

If a team loses, they’re out of the tournament. If they win, that team goes on to the next round, with the goal of winning six consecutive games to grab the NCAA championship.

The college basketball odds to win the championship (the March Madness odds) are decided by the sportsbook industry’s biggest oddsmakers. Then by online sportsbooks – the odds at the books suggest a certain probability of any given team taking the entire tournament.

What is the point spread in College Basketball?

The point spread in college basketball odds is often called the spread or the line.

The over-under is sometimes called the total – also a part of college basketball odds.

Occasionally folks will lump all college basketball odds together by referring to them as “lines.”

The point spread is used as a handicap to even the odds a bit between the teams. In college basketball, sometimes the spread can be massive. That’s because some teams are stronger clubs than others – but they still play each other. For example, if North Carolina were to play a weaker team like Idaho State, the spread could be massive. However, if bettors were to just pick a team to win, everyone would probably put their money on the stronger team, and that would be that. The house wouldn’t stand a chance. Bookies can hope to even out the number of wagers between the two teams by placing a point spread.

It works like this:

The favorite (team most likely to win) is given a handicap or a certain number of points they must win the game by for the bettor to win his bet.

The underdog (team least favored to win) is given an advantage – a head start if you will – or cushion, allowing that team to lose by a certain number of points wherein the bettor would still win their wager.

For example:

  • Favorite – 4.5 -110
  • Underdog + 4.5 -110

If you wager on the underdog and that team wins outright or loses by fewer than five points, you win.

Bet on the favorite, and if they win by five or more points, you’ve got a winning ticket.

Often, the point spread is listed with a ½ point faction or decimal; that ensures that the bet cannot end in a tie no matter what the score.

If you bet on a whole number spread and the game ends in a tie, your bet would push.

When you have a push, that means that all bets are off.

The other number you’ll see associated with the spread (the -110 in our example) is the juice (also referred to as the vig, vigorish, or stake)— that’s the amount you have to bet to earn a profit of $100.

The most common vig you’ll see is listed as -110. This means that you must risk $110 to win $100.

The book keeps that extra 10% as part of their commission for booking your wager.
