    Playing the under in conference tourny games

    It seems to me that playing the under in conference tournament games is the way to go with the teams playing on a neutral court. With teams playing on a neutral court it seems it'd be harder for both teams to find any kind of a flow offensively and especially in a win or go home situation they would be more likely to slow it down to find the best shots.

    Just wanted to get a good discussion going about this, as I have no historical stats to back up this claim, but figured some of you can probably speak better to the subject.

    EDIT: Just checked and it appears 3 of the 4 games already played today have gone under the total as well.. food for thought.

    Also, I'm likely done posting any picks on NCAA basketball for the season after I had that horrible day last weekend by being a homer and risking more units than I should. Baseball season is another matter entirely though! :thumbs:

    always that way...(a) teams play multiple games in multiple days and lose their legs for shooting (b) tightusbungitis sets in and both teams know this is it and i think are much more cautious and play probably tighter...especially the higher seeds (c) the old saying always goes, in a big game, play the under.....probably right 2/3 of the time

      yeah, it seems like the books may adjust their lines for this as well though.
