College Basketball Free Pick : Hawaii vs Maryland 3/20

• 20 March 2016

HRWager’s College Basketball free pick hops on board the now or never attitude of the Hawaii Rainbows.  Here we have a team that is ineligible for March Madness next year.  A team with size and skill that more than handled the NBA talent of Cal.  Now they get a Maryland team that is currently a seven point favorite in this game.  Which way will the winds of profit arrive for your bankroll on this 7PM start on March 20th?

 

College Basketball Free Pick : Identity Crisis

Maryland might have even more talent than the Bears have.  However, the same old problems of mental fortitude come with this team. Diamond Stone should dominant the paint every game but a few this year he has just taken off mentally.  Melo Trimble is a quality point who suffers from his desire to do too much.  Turnovers can crop up as well as a stagnant offense when he just wants to take over.  A lot of weapons but little identity.  So how does Hawaii keep it close or even win SU in this one?

Wear Them Down

Stefan Jankovic is your prototypical Euro big man as in he has size and touch from three point land.  He got into quite a bit of foul trouble in the Cal game so improvements will have to be made there.  Guard play is where Hawaii really shined.  Roderick Bobbit and Quincy Smith both went to the hole and guarded the perimeter to thwarts the Golden Bears outside shooting.  This team has unity, chemistry, and an air of desperation because next year wont be the same.

Here are the keys to pulling an upset or an ATS win.  Defense, control the tempo, and offensive rebound.  This was the formula that the little teams used to perfection with those rash of first round upsets.  We had some scares on Saturday but only WCC cohort Gonzaga came through with the upset.  Effort counts for some much against the talented teams.  HRWager’s College Free Pick of the Day is Hawaii + 7.  Good fortune and we will see you later on today here at the HRW.
