Golden Contender (Rob Vinciletti)

The  N.I.T Power system play is on  Loyola Chicago. Game 689 at 9:00 eastern. The Ramblers last season s30+ win tournament darlings are in the N.I.T This year but have solid experience and should hang in this game tonight. They fit a powerful system that plays on teams that lost their semi final of conference championship games  vs a team off a loss of 8 or less. The blue Jays were knocked off late vs Xavier and are 0-4 ats if they won 5 or 6 of their last 7 games, 14 of 20 off a spread loss and 8 of 11 in this tournament. Loyola has covered 5 straight after allowing 55 or less in back to back games and they are 9-1 in post season games and 4-1 with 7+ days rest.  Play on Loyola

The NBA Top Play banger system is on the Milwaukee Bucks. Game 558 at 8:05 eastern. The Bucks are off  a loss and have covered 9 of 10 in this role and 19 of 26 with 1 day of rest. They were stunned at home by Philly on Sunday and allowed 130. In game after allowing 125 or more they are a perfect 4-0 ats. The Lakers have failed to cover 8 of 9 on the road  the last 5 with 1 day of rest and  6 of 7 off  al loss. The team is managing minutes for Lebron and not playing very hard. In fact the winning team in their games is on a 23-0 spread run. Road dogs with rest off a road favored loss while scoring and allowing 120 or more vs an opponent off a home spread loss have not covered since 1995. Bang the Bucks tonight

The N.I.T Blowout system is on UNC Greensboro. Game 682 at 7:00 eastern. The Spartans lost their championship final and that sets them up in a powerful round 1 system based on that premise if they are taking on a team off a loss of 8 or less like Campbell. UNCG is a solid 1 seed here and have covered 20 of 8 vs .600 or better and 7 of 8 on Tuesdays. This is a big setup in class for Campbell which has failed to cover 4 of 5 in non conference games. Play on UNC GREENSBORO

The N.I.T Round 1 banger is on Clemson. Game 894 at 7:00 eastern. The Tigers fit our best N.I.T system which plays against Wright St and any round 1 road dog off a straight up favored loss in their conference championship game  vs a team that has a win percentage of less than 650. These road dogs are 0-13 ats since 1991. Wright St has failed to cover the last 5 on the road off 3+ home games and 4 of 5 off a 10+ point home loss and 12 of 16 on Tuesdays. Clemson has covered the last 4 as a home favorite of 12-18, 5 of 6 off a spread loss and 3 of 4 in post season. An ACC home team vs a Horizon league team. Lay it Clemson

The Play in side is on Belmont. Game 671 at 9:10 eastern. Belmont is off a conference championship loss by 12 ti Murray  St but have still won 15 of the last 16 and have covered 5 of 6 when favored in non home games. In fact they have won 16 of 17 times laying points if not at home. Temple has failed to cover 4 of 5 vs non conference teams. The lost in the first round to Wichita St. Belmont is the better team statistically and we will back them in this one.
