# 828 massachusetts 1ST HALF -0.5 off a nice 4-1 saturday...my only play for sunday unless some 2nd halves pop up...dropping the hammer on umass 1st half -0.5
things are going to catch up with this st.louis team and even if they don't today the one thing they are routinely doing is trailing at the half...billikens have won 5 in a row but in the last 4 they have come from double digits down to win and in the last 3 have been down at the half...umass will be the team coming out with more urgency today being lower in the standings back home and off a decent road performance at gw albeit in a 6 pt loss...in st louis's 8 true road games this year they have been losing at halftime in 6 of them!...the billikens are the youngest team in college hoops with 11 of their 12 in the rotation being underclassmen and it has really shown when they have to get on an airplane...last 4 games st louis has won outright as an underdog and have had to rally...now they go on the road for the 1st time in nearly 2 weeks and if they get their 6th win in a row overall i say it will be coming from behind in the 2nd half yet again..umass is the best rebounding team in the conf and ricky harris has been really heating up as of late...mass comes out ready and establishes a halftime lead..best bet on the board today imo...umass 1ST HALF -0.5......hammer time...good luck fellas
