Ricky's 1* play on SJ.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Panthers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.

- The Sharks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games.

- The Sharks are 4-1 ATS in their last home games.

Verdict: The value is on the road underdog.

*Free Play Under* Central Connecticut State has shot a ridiculously high percentage so far this year. They have several guys who are shooting far above their career averages. This is a team that has typically been defense first. They are still solid on defense, and I think their shooting numbers likely regress over time.

Mercyhurst ranks dead last in the nation in average possession length. They are moving as slowly as possible. They are averaging using 21 seconds of the 30 second shot clock. They'll do their best to bring this game down to a crawl.

Take the under here.

(5-1 last 6 CBB plays. One CBB and one NBA play are up for Monday afternoon!) 

Monday CBB Free play. My selection is on Mercyhurst minus the points over Central Connecticut State at 2 pm et on Monday.

Central Connecticut State enters this game on a tear, having won four games in a row SU and five straight ATS. It checks in off an otherworldly shooting performance (30-of-50 from the field) in Saturday's win at Saint Francis (PA) and will look to wrap up a perfect three-game road trip on Monday. I think it will be in tough, however. Note that the Blue Devils have enjoyed incredible offensive success considering the shot volume hasn't always been there. They've gotten off 54 or fewer field goal attempts in four of their last five games. I think they do run into a tough opponent here with Mercyhurst having held four straight and seven of its last 10 foes to 25 or fewer made field goals. On the flip side, Mercyhurst figures to get its share of scoring opportunities, noting that CCSU has allowed three straight and five of its last six opponents to hoist up 60+ field goal attempts. Mercyhurst figures to be in a foul mood following Saturday's 'upset' loss at home (in overtime) against Stonehill. While certainly not prolific offensively, the Lakers have been reasonably consistent, connecting on 25, 33, 23, 25, 25, 24 and 24 field goals over their last seven contests. Finally, we'll note that while CCSU owns the better overall record in this matchup this season, Mercyhurst has faced the slightly more difficult schedule by most metrics. Take Mercyhurst.
