[Wagerallsports]

Gotta love the early action!

 

[carolinakid]

yes for sure

 

[carolinakid]

the early money is on the over in this one at this time

 

[Tanko]

That line looks about right at -2....

I lean towards Furman +2 but Penn St. has been taking care of business in its games.
Penn St. did give up quite a few points in the last 5 min of the Butler game after leading by 16 but it might have been bench players. Otherwise, they've not really been challenged.

Tough call to make... Anyone see an edge?

 

[carolinakid]

furman for the 1st half and over for the game, but the over now has jump so much the value is gone

This is Penn State play or nothing.

Nothing better than day drinking while watching the games on a Thursday morning

This is Penn State play or nothing.

Why so confident? What do you see on this one PiMike? I was really struggling to find something definitive to hang my hat on for the full game.

Penn State Nittany Lions​

The Nittany Lions are one of the most experienced teams in all of college basketball, which could play a factor against both Furman and the rest of the field in this tournament.

Penn State made quick work of its first two opponents in Winthrop and Loyola MD, but things weren’t as easy the last time out against Butler. The Nittany Lions came away with the win in the end, but struggled to score early on and had issues with turnovers and fouls.

Thankfully, Jalen Pickett (second triple-double in program history) was there to keep their undefeated record intact.

Furman vs. Penn State Lean​

Furman isn’t necessarily a run-and-gun team, but it does move quicker than most on the offensive end. Not to mention, the team is stacked with elite scorers.

The only problem for the Paladins is so are the Nittany Lions. PSU is also a more experienced team and miles ahead of Furman on the defensive end.

The Paladins’ path to victory in game one lies with their shooting and rebounding. Penn State has struggled to create second-chance opportunities, and few teams have the ability to keep up with Penn State’s scoring like the Paladins do.

However, Furman has struggled to defend the 3-point arc, an area in which Penn State has been top-20 in the nation in through its first three games.

I’d look to the over in this one and stay away from a side altogether.

i think the over is the way to go, i will wait til the 2nd half and take another look at the line, if the 1st half goes under 69, the 2nd half over might be the play

Penn State has a better scoring by fence and a better defense so there’s no way I could take for men in this situation.
