Texas at West Virginia Free Basketball Pick
Joe Duffy's GodsTips has a free pick today on: TEXAS +6 West Virginia
Reasoning: Texas entered the year as the single most inexperienced team in the nation according to our favorite cheat sheet for such at StatSheet. As we said, such teams almost always struggle out of the gate, then as their power rating drops, they improve and become a better and better bet as the year goes on.
Since an 0-3 start against the spread, they are a solid 10-7 including 4-1 their last five. WVU has been extremely erratic, going 0-3 straight up and 1-2 against the spread off an outright win. 
Much like their football team, West Virginia has struggled in the Big 12. Texas is showing their upside with two blowout wins over their last three, each by 13 or more. They also have very competitive losses to Oklahoma and Kansas.
Jonathan Holmes presents significant matchup problems for WVU inside. Sophomore guard Sheldon McClellan did have one of his worst games against WVU in the initial meeting, but he personifies how much Texas continues to improve. Look for the mild upset here.
Tonight's bet: Joe Duffy is 4-0 with NBA Wise Guy plays since January 5th. Among other factors, that rare NBA scheduling dynamic applies tonight. Regular clients know what it is. Everyone else, begin the rest of your gambling life tonight. We are 24-13 with football and basketball Wise Guys combined. Oh that included Indiana over Michigan as the CBB Game of the Year.
Also, for decades we have told you that wannabe sharps believe home/road dichotomy means knowing teams play much better at home. The problem is that the oddsmakers are well ahead of those squares. Pros know it is about isolating teams that do not have that big of a discrepancy between home and road. We have a shining example of that tonight. NBA and college basketball sweep. Get the picks now
