Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.
Bradley minus-1.5 vs. Drake: $220 to win $200
Do you believe in the theory that it’s really, really hard to beat a team three times in the same season? I’m not sure that I really do, but that’s basically what I’m doing in backing Bradley against Drake tonight in the opening round of Arch Madness, the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in St. Louis.
Bradley has lost six straight and nine of 10, but kenpom.com has the game as a coin flip because it’s not like Drake’s a lot better. If Drake gets rolling beyond the arc, it’s over. But in most other facets of the game, the teams are comparable, and I like the Braves to get some revenge.
Standings: Keefer (67-67-2, $10,087), Bern (67-62-1, $9,446), Brewer (60-71-3, $3,565)
