Hoops Hustle: Handicapping, Podcasting, and a 10-Mile Run
Greg “Hoops” Peterson, VSiN’s college basketball guru, is busier than a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest.
He was up late waiting for today’s pairings so he can make his handicapped lines for every game on the menu and do his Coast-to-Coast Hoops podcast.
Then he sorts through all the games to come up with his Best Bets. Here is one of them for today:
Oregon vs. Indiana: Indiana’s guard play has been underwhelming this season, with the team ranking 251st in the country in three-point shooting percentage (32.3%) and 130th overall in points per possession. They face an Oregon squad that lacks a defining strength but also has no glaring weaknesses. Oregon pulled away late when these teams met in Eugene on March 4, winning 73-64.
Pick: Oregon -1.5 (Greg’s Handicap: Oregon -4.5).
Oh, yeah, and somewhere in there he does his daily 10-mile run.
