Eurobasket 10.11./3

[expert]

Sport	Euro Basketball
Event	Asvel Lyon - Besancon
Selection	Over 159
Strength	8/10
Date	10/03/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.97 (Back)
Reasoning	Besancon in relegation trouble, but they are on a 3 game winning streak - all games won vs. their relegaion candidates and all on a high note Besancon Comte Doubs Reims Champagne 101:91 Bourg Jeunesse Besancon Comte Doubs 76:96 Besancon Comte Doubs Gravelines Dunkerque 97:91 Very important victories which can help them to keep their ProA status safe this year. One player did help a lot in this 3 game succes story, the former Lega 2 best scorer Sean Colson (French media using the words metamorphosis for the team since his arrival) has strenghtened their roster - he is not only the 23 PPG man, but also like s to share the basket and makes easy plays for his teammates. Looking at the spread and the confidenca the team have now got, this one should be a tight game, but im going for an over in this one, as Besancon averages over 93 points in last three - that is since Colson arrived. That combined by their weak defence and Asvels almost 83ppg, should make this one a good bet.

Event	Bourg Basket v Dijon
Selection	Dijon -4.5
Strength	10/10
Date	09/03/2007
Bookmaker/Price	Pinnacle Sports @ 1.93 (Back)
Reasoning	Bourg (17, 6-17) in really bad shape now 7 in a row and find themselves in a relegation battle, but things look to go from bad to worse. Today the host Dijon (10, 12-11), team which they manged to beat in the first round away, but Bourg form has fallen dramatically since then. Dijon has now also three straight away wins at Bourg, as they beat them 73-62, 87-62 and 98-85 and lost heavily in 2002/03 season with 91-58. Dijon really not the best away team with 5-7 record, but against the strugglers from Bourg, 6th win will be cashed in. IMO a double digit win for Dijon Last home games of Bourg at home: Le Mans Sarthe Basket (6) 61:74 Reims Champagne (18)68:66 Hyeres Toulon Var (16)73:77 Paris Basket Racing (13)74:82 Besancon Basket CD (14)76:96 Clearly it shows that home team had chance to win against relegation candidates, but failed in all bu one occasion, when they narrowly beat last placed Reims.

Re: Eurobasket 10.11./3 Adriatic (ABA) league Buducnost hosting Siroki. Home team lost Jeretin couple of rounds before and without him they cannot count to trash anyone in this league. Example of that was game with Slovn few rounds before, when Buducnost struggled to break Slovenian team for whole game. In the end ended just 10pts difference for hosts, and the line was -18.5 in that game. This game is very important for Buducnost and they will be very happy just to win it. I don't think it will be some big margine. Pick Siroki +12.5, Pinnacle @1.93. GL~
