Men’s Basketball vs The Citadel

Two weeks ago, when Appalachian beat The Citadel down in Charleston, they enjoyed one of their best shooting performances of the season. The Mountaineers shot over 55% from the field and also hit half of the threes in 80-67 road win. Four Apps scored in double figures led by Mike Kobani who poured in 18. The Apps haven’t win since.

Tonight the Apps are a 10.5 point favorite which is easily their largest spread of the season in a game which they are favored.

6:24 PM: There is absolutely nothing I like about this 10.5 pt spread tonight. But the smart play is to take the Apps. #officialpick

Elon @ Men’s Basketball

7:57 AM: Elon is favored by a whopping three points today over App. The Mountaineers covered a double digit spread on the road earlier this year at Elon.

The Phoenix dropped two in a row in the Western swing in conference play recently, at Sammie and Chatty. Elon won over WCU on Thursday.

Elon is 6-20 ATS on Saturdays it’s last three seasons, while the Apps are shockingly 15-8 ATS. Elon usually doesn’t play well in Boone.

@bigCasu: Elon has only won once in Boone since they joined the SoCon. Will Capel’s crew
break another dubious stat line today with a loss?

1:29 PM: Official pick, Elon -3.

Post game: App had on their best shooting performances for the season on Saturday, but Elon shot better in all three categories to hang on for a seven point win. It was enough to cover the minuscule three point spread. It was our second straight win on the season. Next up is The Citadel at home on Thursday, where I expect close to a double digit spread in favor of the Apps.
