double-dime bet 879 Brigham Young 1.0 (-110) BetUS vs 880 UNLV
Analysis: This is my favorite play on the board. This line is a PK, but it's for good reason. BYU has struggled mightily when playing in UNLV. But this BYU team is different than past editions, and they are HUNGRY. They are hungry because they didn't win the regular season MWC Championship. They want this conference tournament badly, and i think they are going to get it. The moment they lost to New Mexico, i knew this team would have VALUE, and today is the day.
UNLV is a really good team, who have all but punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament. While a great team, they just aren't quite on the level of BYU in my opinion. The fact that UNLV blasted BYU earlier this season at home makes me feel that BYU will be ready today!
Overall, most of the statistical numbers point towards BYU. I tend to agree, and i would like to add that this BYU team is more motivated than they've been at any point this season. Look at Jimmer Fredette as a perfect example of what i'm talking about. When Jimmer is healthy, he can't be stopped, just like last night. I completely trust this BYU team and they will beat UNLV tonight. BYU will get off to a good start tonight, and they are disciplined enough to finish strong.
I'm on the road, so i won't be able to type more of a writeup for awhile, but i wanted to† get this play in the system. I'll add more to this if i see fit. Bottom line, BYU +1 is my DOUBLE STAR PLAY OF THE DAY!
