UMass Betting Trends

The Minutemen began this season on a tear, winning 8 of their first 10 games. UMass were searing hot, starting the season 10-4 before stumbling back to earth in the second half of the season.

UMass has sorely missed the presence of leading scorer Noah Fernandes. The senior guard averaged 13.6 points and 4.1 assists before injuring his ankle in January. The Minutemen have gone just 4-10 in his absence, and have struggled to put the ball in the hoop.

More importantly for bettors, the Minutemen have covered the spread just twice in their past ten games. Oddly, UMass is just 1-7 ATS in their past 8 games following a straight up win.

Richmond Betting Trends

Richmond has been inconsistent this season, winning just three of their last ten ball games.

Senior Tyler Burton leads the team with 18.6 points and 7.5 rebounds on the season. Burton most recently put 17 points and a clutch late three to take the lead against George Mason on March 4th.

Richmonds stats are mostly average across the board, ranking 184th nationally on offense and 186th on defense according to Haslametrics.com.

However, the Spiders are a high-volume 3-point shooting team. Richmond shoots nearly 25-threes per game, and if given the space by UMass’ porous defense, could really pile up the points in this Atlantic 10 matchup. Intriguingly, the Spiders are 8-2 against the spread in their last ten Tuesday games.

UMass vs Richmond Predictions

This game could come down to the final possession.

Alarmingly, the Minutemen turn over the basketball fourteen times per game. Without their senior guard to control the pace, UMass has struggled to score in the halfcourt.

While Richmond isn’t a great team, the Spiders are the much better shooting squad, and will have their best player on the court on Tuesday. Additionally, the favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 UMass vs Richmond meetings. Take Richmond to move on in the Atlantic 10 tournament.

Pick: Richmond -0.5 (-110)
