Tuley: Wednesday Best Bets in NIT, NHL; NCAA March Madness first-round picks
 

 

Wednesday Best Bets, Tuesday Recaps

Tuesday was mostly spent taking care of some housekeeping chores in the Tuley’s Takes home office (and some work housekeeping chores as well) to clear my schedule for this weekend’s wall-to-wall college basketball schedule.

I lost my Best Bet of the day on the Pistons +11.5 at the Wizards (we loved that it went up to +13.5 with both teams having key players out). We didn’t feel so good when the Wizards jumped out to more than a 20-point lead in the first half, but the Wizards did get back within the number in single digits before the Wizards took over and won 117-97.

Fortunately, I salvaged the day again with an NHL 1P Over parlay at +175 (note: I’m sure most followers only got +150 to +160 as that’s what I saw during the day, but I trust that was acceptable!) as the Senators and Oilers needed just 6:48 to trade goals on the way to a 2-2 tie after the first 20 minutes and then the Canucks needed just 6 minutes to grab a 2-0 lead to put that 1P Over by themselves.

Let’s recap the rest of Tuesday’s (full-game) action and look for Best Bets on Wednesday. I also add a third Best Bet for the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Tuesday Recaps

NCAA Tournament: Pittsburgh (+2.5) upset Mississippi State 60-59 in Tuesday's First Four nightcap (stayed Under betting total of 133 points). Earlier, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (-3) beat Southeast Missouri State 75-71 and covered vs. closing line (stayed Under 158).

NIT: Faves went 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS in Tuesday's first-round games with Seton Hall (+4) covering in a 65-64 loss at Colorado in the last game of the night. The upsets were by Hofstra (+5.5 in 88-86 OT win at Rutgers) and Eastern Washington (+8.5 in 81-74 win at Washington). Home teams also 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS. Over/Unders split 4-4.
