Thursday's Play--The C I T Tourney Stands For...

[Keith]

Cash It Tonight (with Oscar's brother, James Madison).

First the re-cap. Won with UTEP last night, making me 3-1 for the week, and 27-14-1 for my last 42.

So while everyone is focused on the Big Dance, I am looking elsewhere. I know that Jimmy Madison's best player, JuWann James is questionable (he missed their last game) but I think he plays tonight--as Old Dom is a conference rival, which makes this game even bigger. The rest of the team stepped up on Tuesday and I believe they will again tonight.

These teams met twice this year, with each team winning on the other team's home court. So JMU knows they can win at Old Dom. Now Old Dom has a better RPI (105 to 144), but the rest of the relevant stats strongly favor Jimmy Madison. Old Dom shoots a pathetic 63.3% from the free throw line, while JMU shoots a rock solid 75.7% from the stripe. James Madison has a better field goal percentage (45.1% to 44.4%) and a much better 3 point field goal percentage as well (36.1% to 32.9%).

As for trends, James Madison was a road warrior this year, going 10-2 ATS away from home. Meanwhile, ODU was only 5-9 ATS at home. Now obviously I would prefer if James is playing for JMU, but even if he is not, I still see this as a tight rivalry kind of game. I want the team that MAKES its free throws--especially if I am getting 6.5 points to boot.

Thursday's play is James Madison +6.5.

thanks Fats. This year however I am not going to make the mistake I do every year of not waiting long enough for the stats I utilize to round into shape. I probably will not post a baseball play (at least not officially) until late-April.
