FEBRUARY: 11-11-1 (+7.6 units)
ALL TIME: 11-11-1 (+7.6 units)

RECAP: And... we're back. Thank you everyone for giving me the weekend off. We are ready to fight through a week of CBB and NHL, before we get the NBA back. Not a lot to choose for today, but I should be able to come up with a winner.

Appalachian State at TROY -7
7pm central
(11 units wagered, 10 units won)

Image result for TROY BASKETBALL I have not watched a single game of either of these teams all season. The Sun Belt just hasn't been as intriguing to me as the MAAC this season. That being said, I believe we have a gem here. I am just going off what the numbers tell me. The Kenpom has Troy ranked 162nd in the country, while they have Appalachian State sitting at 247. Appalachian State is also 1-13 on the road and has a conference record of 3-11.  More importantly the Mountaineers sit at 2-7-2 against the spread in their last 11 road games. They really are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the Sun Belt Conference. Troy is more of a middle of the pack team in the Conference sitting with a 7-6 conference record. Also Troy is 2nd in the conference averaging over 80 points per game. Appalachian state is 10th in the conference in opponent points per game. The Trojans should have no problem putting up, over their 80 ppg average, ensuring victory. I would like to repeat, I have never watched these teams. That being said I do feel confident with the numbers in front of me... Troy should win this game easy.
