ATS Records:
ü Providence has a solid 20-14-0 record against the spread (ATS) this season.
ü Boston College, on the other hand, has a 15-18-1 ATS record.
Over/Under:
ü Games involving the Friars have hit the over 15-18-1 times.
ü The Eagles have gone over the total 19-14-1 times.
Recent Performance:
ü Providence is 5-5 ATS and 6-4 overall in their last 10 games.
ü Boston College has matched that with a 5-5 ATS record and 5-5 overall performance.
ü Providence averages 72.9 points per game, just 0.8 points more than what Boston College allows (72.1).
ü When Providence scores more than 72 points, they are 10-5 ATS and 14-1 overall.
ü Boston College performs well when allowing fewer than 73 points, going 8-8 ATS and 12-4 overall.
ü The Eagles put up an average of 74.6 points per game, which is 5.6 points more than the 69.0 points the Friars allow to opponents.
ü The Friars are 45-70 ATS in home games after covering 2 of their last 3 against the spread.
ü BC head coach Grant is 20-10 ATS in road games following a loss.
From my predictive model,we are expecting BC to score 72 or more points and have no more than 12 turnovers. In previous games played over the past five seasons, BC is 24-7 SU and 18-9-1 ATS for 67% winning bets when they have met these performance measures. Providence is 9-22 SU and 11-20 ATS when allowing 72 or more points and forcing 12 or fewer turnovers over the past five seasons.
Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #752 Under in Samford Bulldogs vs Kansas Jayhawks (9:55p.m., Thursday, March 21 TBS) The Jayhawks come into this tournament limping and did not get games at Ohama and instead have a short flight to Salt Lake City. We will not speculate who will be playing for Kansas in this game and instead just focus on the total. Kansas will have to play a certain style to have any success in this tournament and they just do not have a good bench or people that can shoot it well. Most of the Jayhawk’s damage came at home and that will not be the case on Thursday. We will not worry if Kansas can come this spread and instead just focus on the under.
