College basketball schedule today has 76 games
Thursday brings us a monster card, but I’m still jumping for joy about winning an under in an overtime game. It’s like finding the golden ticket to the chocolate factory or not getting a hangover after drinking with buddies you haven’t seen in a while.
I know we’re in the era of a million Same Game Parlays and all the sportsbook PR stuff about big wins and near-misses, but I’m a traditionalist. I remember the good ol’ days when a bad beat was having an under 128.5 that finished regulation at 112 points and then went over in overtime, not some 15-line parlay of player props. Thanks to Missouri State and Drake for not giving me one of those, especially with only two points in the final 1:32 of OT.
Anyway, let’s look at the Thursday card, after I remind you to check out Jonathan Von Tobel’s daily work with NBA best bets and Andy MacNeil’s wall-to-wall coverage of the NHL tips you need to know.
